I grew up going to Flesor's Candy Kitchen in the 60's-70's sitting at their original soda fountain…read moredrinking handmade cherry colas. The granddaughters of the original owners brought it back to life & it is even better than before, IMO. The candies are quite exceptional, and they are made by hand on-site every day. The chocolates are truly incomparable, but for me, it has always been their caramel. And I've tried a LOT of caramel in different cities & countries, but absolutely nothing compares to theirs. I now live 1000 miles away. But when I visit, I ALWAYS stop to visit the owners & buy a box of my favorites. Luckily, they also ship & I've taken advantage of that more than a few times...for others & myself. If you are even close to the area, go visit this 1901 confectionary for lunch & some divine hand-dipped chocolates & a caramel apple. You will not regret it.

The chocolates and ice crram are also great (the peanut butter pudding chocolates, turtles, and peanut butter ice cream are faves). I love the green rivers from the soda fountain. Highly recommend!!!

First thing I did was ask to be seated elsewhere because our table felt claustrophobic--one of perhaps the only two in the room so close to one another. We were moved cheerfully. My adult grandkid and I shared the spinach strawberry salad and a crab salad croissant sandwich. We followed our meal with dessert, sharing bread pudding and carrot cake. It was all wonderful. As was the slice of rhubarb cake we took home with us. We will certainly visit the LaTeaDa Tea Room again--and probably bring friends.

I would recommend my friends to come here for the impressive experience.

Amazing tea and coffee shop with a new location at Village at the Crossing. This place is the only…read moreone of its kind around. There's over 500 teas to choose from - both loose leaf and bagged. There's over 50 whole bean coffee's from all over the world, and the new location has a drive-thru and serves drinks! Not only does it offer a massive selection of tea and coffee, it has pretty much anything you could ever need to make and enjoy your drinks. They also carry some really great chocolates, caramels, and some other really tasty goodies. If you're new to tea or coffee, or if you're a seasoned vet/hobbyist, this place has it all. All the employees are super helpful and very knowledgeable about tea! Great place to go. I'd recommend this place to anyone, and a cool place to visit if you're not from around the area. You can also order things online and pickup or have things shipped to you which is really convenient, and I can send gifts to friends in other states for the holidays (Surprise Box is a real crowd pleaser!). Great little tea shop and a Champaign treasure for over 40 years! Love this place.

It's a solid spot! Very easy to order digitally and you just need to wait to pick up your food…read more Very little human interaction, but that's the nature of this shop. Drinks and food themselves are very interesting and well made. Not in a "this is amazing", but it was good. My group and I enjoyed everything that we ordered, so the drinks and food were probably designed to please as many people as possible. The variety in their menu is interesting and I'm surprised they were willing maintain their diverse selections. The location is more in a hole-in-a-wall spot. Parking is a pain, but it's in a walking neighborhood amidst a bunch of stores and restaurants. It's a nice place to pop by for a quick drink or dessert after a huge dinner or for a walking break. The biggest concern I had with the place is that it's really not designed for people to stick around. Very few seats or uncomfortable standing areas. It's got this industrial layout where you go in, order digitally, get your food and get out.

The crème brûlée layer is really creamy and light. it complements the Thai tea perfectly without being too heavy. The matcha latte was smooth and well balanced too. They offer two boba options (brown sugar or honey), we went with brown sugar and it was cooked perfectly. Ideal QQ texture, not too soft, not too chewy. Also, this spot is just a quick walk from campus, which made it feel extra nostalgic. definitely brought me back to my U of I school days. Highly recommend if you're craving something sweet and want to raise that A1C by a few points!
