    Nomad skillet and chocolate chip pancakes

    Great food and service. It was our first time there and we will come back. Skillet was awesome. Same as the pancakes.

    Eggs Benedicts
    Runzer W.

    My first time in Le Peep! I ordered the Eggs Benedicts. The eggs were cooked just right! I really love the cheese sauce and the ham in the middle. The service was so friendly and fast! Just a reminder that you need to check at the front desk after getting the guest receipt (I waited for some time sitting there lol). The dining environment was super comfortable as well. Overall, a nice experience in Le Peep! No wonder this place is one of the local favorites in town!!!

    We was in town & looking for a good breakfast, our food was great. This will not disappoint. Best breakfast in town

    Went on a busy weekend and only waited 25 minutes. We had the high school basketball tournaments and the Special Olympics for Illinois in our hometown so it was packed everywhere. They served us promptly and with a smile. A top notch establishment!

    Sailor Sam Benedict (comes with side of baked apples and potatoes)

    Had a wonderful breakfast here this morning. We were told for our 2 top, a 25 minute wait, it was more like 10 minutes. Waitress was wonderful and very attentive. Our food was delicious. I went with the sailor Sam Benedict. My only complaint is on the "peasant potatoes". They were super soft and fell apart when trying to eat. I'd suggest a crispier option as these almost seemed boiled. I also had a strawberry fields smoothie - very yummy! Good sized portions, i was unable to finish my plate as there was a lot of food! Overall, wonderful meal and would definitely return!

    Omni Omelet peasant potato's wheat English muffin, cup of sausage gravy.

    This is my first visit to Le Peep, and as a true hospitality review, I start with 5 stars and work my way around. I was greeted promptly and sat immediately. They are within covid rules. My server greeted me however I do not know her name. I asked for a few minutes to review the menu. I found the menu to be ok. I think the design and the layout to be a bit confusing, as it took me a few minutes of review to actually find something I hope is extraordinary. I ordered an ice tea, which I will say is very fresh. After my server came back I ordered the Omni Omelet with a side dish of sausage gravy. The server did not suggest anything since this was my first time nor was an upsell suggestion offered. Service is key in this time of covid, and my reviews will reflect. I arrived at 840am and ordered within 7 minutes. At 855 am my tea is almost empty, and the server has not checked on me to let me know about my breakfast order. There were approximately 3 tables in my section and myself and approximately 6 or 7 others in the rest of the dining room. If I had to judge this breakfast on its merit, hands down it was a 2. The "peasant" potatoes are simply a deep-fried potato cube. They were cold and hard. The English Muffin, wheat, cold, light butter. The sausage gravy was water-based, tasted like it was thawed and warmed up, no flavor, certainly not what I expected. My ice tea was refilled by the server that delivered my food, not my original server. She was too busy chatting and play with the little girl and her dad at the table in front of me. She came checked on me briefly left the check,. Did not say a word. So when I finished, I was sitting there miffed, like I guess they don't want me to come back, I don't know if I pay my server or the hostess, I was not offered a to-go cup for my ice tea, I was not invited back, I was not thanked. I can see clearly, that I was a single man, sitting at a table, and I did not matter. I certainly did not see a manager walking around, talking to tables. It is clear, this restaurant, does not truly believe in epic or even good guest service, and great food. I am sure, they have many repeat customers, who enjoy, their food, and mediocre service. In comparison, to the many restaurants visit in a year, Le Peep, will not be on my list of highly recommended, in the Champaign-Urbana metro area. To truly compete in this day and age of great local restaurants, they truly need to step up their service, and their food quality, especially if their price point is in the mids $$$. I will use the following based on 1 - 5 Staff courtesy and helpfulness 2 The greeting from the hostess was quick and responsive. However, I told the server it was my first time, and she more or less could care less, did not recommend anything, certainly did not upsell me anything, no check back, except once, more interested in another table. Another server served brought my food and refilled my beverage. My server came by when I was halfway through, asked if I how was everything, I said it was ok, did not try to find out by my tone and expression, if anything was wrong, and left the check. Did not say thank you and hope to see you again or anything. Table service speed 2 I would say, for breakfast and as many staff, and a few tables, speed of service could have been faster than the 38 minutes I sat at the table. with 16 of those minutes waiting on food to arrive. Order accuracy 4 The food I ordered, came out exactly how I ordered it, Restaurant layout and cleanliness 4 The restaurant seemed clean, and the Covid protocols were in place. Food variety 3 (menu seemed a bit all over the place, took me a few minutes to find what I was looking for in their menu. Like a lot of other local restaurants, their menu seemed a tad pretentious, guests want a good wholesome breakfast and lunch, not some, fancy named food item, to make an impression or charge a higher price. It is ok to have your own signature items, however, I felt the menu was a bit much. Beverage variety & quality 5 Let me just say the ice tea, was the number 1 best thing. Too bad I couldn't take any with me, or get more than 1 refill. Food quality 3 Overall the meal was simply ok. The omelet was amazing, probably the only thing this meal had going for it. However, the "peasant" potatoes, English muffin, and sausage gravy was a complete letdown. The overall score for this restaurant. 23 with 7 categories, gives this restaurant an overall score of 3 stars.

    I ordered the Harvest Benedict and a side pancake, the food was great!

A glass display case sits empty at the hostess station displaying nothing but lots of smudgy fingerprints. A fitting analogy to the current Courier unfortunately. Patrons come in for lunch and wait several minutes for somebody to seat them. The service suffers from understaffing. I ordered a Veggie Dagwood sandwich. Remember Dagwood Bumstead and his multi layer skyscraper sandwiches?? Not here! This was more of a very dry bread sandwich. Where are the layers of veggies? The layers of cheese? The alfalfa sprouts? The sauce? My sandwich was served with a stale pickle. I asked if I could order a side like potato salad. They had coleslaw - $4 up charge. The place needs to be cleaned up! Put a little pride into the menu.

    Revisited the Courier Cafe today and I need to drop it a star. After trying a few items across the…read moremenu, I now believe the food warrants two stars although the ambience and service remain very good. I won't belabor the point but the items we ordered lacked thoughtful preparation. The scrambled tofu was just tofu with curry powder. The veggie Dagwood consisted primarily of plain toast with little in the way of "veggie." An extra tomato and another dollop of special sauce (sweet mayo) would go a long way here.

The tea had stevia in it (wtf??) which I personally think is the most disgusting and disappointing sweetener out there. Super weird for it to be a part of the tea bag, IMO. Ambiance?

I go to a coffee shop for the coffee and/or tea and if that's not great and if the barista is annoyed... I'm not going to stick around for the ambiance. (Also, with a name like Avionics, I was expecting a little more decor along that line. So if you're interested in aviation and airplanes, don't come here thinking you've found a fellow aficionado.)

Had great indoor decor -- as some previous reviewers said, it had a interesting combination of modernism and nature. However, food was not as good as environment. The menu was very limited (together with my friend we already covered the whole menu lol). I saw on Yelp that they offered the Lox Plate and Avocado Stack, which looked pretty amazing. Unfortunately they do not offer these any more. The lox bagel was super small, so were the egg sandwich and granola. The sandwiches tasted OK, but the granola was way too sweet for me. Luckily the price was reasonable. Not very likely to come here again as it offers too few things now. They do offer more drinks than food. So in general due to its decor and the fact that not many people go there, it would not be a bad choice to study or work here anyway.
