I love love this bakery! This is a family run bakery that…read moreserves mostly Chinese pastries and cakes. The owner is very sweet and warm greets me with big smile every time I visit. Everything is made in house and not overly sweet. I especially love their whole cakes or cake slices since they are made with whipped cream which is very airy and light. Their toast bread is also great, I always have some for breakfast, they are lightly sweet and super soft. Owner change their offering everyday, so it's always a surprise on what I can find when I visit. I also found out they started doing event catering, so this would be a great option for wedding cake or any sort of events!

Moment Bakery is a Chinese-style bakery on Green St, located near the university campus. In…read moregeneral, their cakes are not overly sweet, and they're relatively light. They're my favorite bakery in the area: I'm a really big fan and have tried many of their items (as you can see from my many photos...). My favorite items here are their cream cakes, milk bread (which they call toast), and the cakes with taro and/or mochi. I also highly recommend ordering custom cakes from them: I've ordered three custom cakes (including my wedding cake) and they were all delicious, beautifully decorated, and reasonably priced, especially for the quality. The character designs they do on cakes are super cute. Their menu changes every day, and the milk bread usually comes out later in the afternoon, around 3:30. If you can read Chinese, they have a WeChat group where they post their daily menu. They also sometimes have specials for holidays, e.g., mooncakes for Mid Autumn Festival. I've tried too many of their products to list here, but here are a just few of my favorites (you can check my photos for more details): -Cream Cakes (about $8-9 per slice, depending on the flavor) - these are light and not too sweet, and I really like the whipped cream. My favorites have been the black sesame cream cake, durian cream cake, taro cake, and jasmine milk tea cream cake; the fruit cream is also a classic and is delicious as well. I loved the black sesame cream cake so much that I got it for my wedding. -Toast (Milk Bread) - this comes in two sizes and several flavors; a small is around $5 and a large is around $9. My favorites are the taro and the pork floss flavors, but all the ones I tried have been great. It's very fluffy, soft, stretchy, and slightly sweet, and it's especially great when it's still warm. It's by far the best option for milk bread in town (it's much better than the version at Suzu's Bakery, for instance). -Purple Rice Cream Cheese Bun ($6) - bread with cream cheese, mochi, and purple rice filling. The mochi and purple rice combo is delicious, especially when the bun is still warm. -Taro Mochi Cake ($9) - layers of sponge cake, mochi, pork floss, and taro. The perfect combo in my opinion. I also like their Taro Roll and Mochi Roll, which are smaller versions with sponge cake, pork floss, and one of taro or mochi in the filling. -Mille Crepe Cakes (around $10 per slice, depending on the flavor) - these have relatively more cream compared to crepe. My personal preference would be for more crepe, but I really liked the durian mille crepe and the sakura matcha mille crepe that I tried here. In addition to cream cakes, they also make a variety of other styles of cakes, including mousse cakes, cheesecakes, Basque style cheesecakes, and tiramisu. The cream cakes are my favorite, but the mousse cakes and cheesecakes are great too and are not too sweet. The tiramisu is one of the sweetest cakes I've tried here, but I really liked it as well. The service is really kind and sweet. For custom cake orders, they're very friendly, kind, and thorough. I definitely recommend giving them a visit!

This dessert shop was a wonderful find for me. I went here to get a matcha oriented drink but ended…read moreup getting a soft-serve swirl. Upon arrival, I checked out the menu and saw a lot of wonderful variety of items that I wanted to try; however, I only had room for one thing. While scoping out the menu, my eyes fell on their soft-serve flavors. They not only had chocolate and vanilla flavors but also, hojicha, matcha, and ube. Plus, you could get them in a swirl or just as two flavors in a dish. I immediately decided that I wanted the Hojicha and Ube pairing. My son got the Matcha and Ube combo. Both were good. I liked all the flavors. Hojicha was my favorite, followed by Matcha, and then Ube. Each of these ice cream had rich flavor and the texture was smooth. The pricing of the soft-serve was on the high side but the portion size was good. The Ice cream is made in-house including the Hojicha. The shop was busy. It was frequented by U of I students, it seemed. The service was good. I'd go back here if I were to be in Champaign again. Check it out.

I have bought cakes from them three times. Till now I have tried, coconut cream cake, cashew caramel cake and butter cake.

It was moist and buttery. Cashew caramel cake (5/5): this is my favorite cake at this bakery, I love it. I pick the ones with burnt cashews as they taste so good.

I went in yesterday for a couple of bagels and cream cheese. Before going further, I must praise the schmear! It is creamy and begs to be spread and scooped. The flavor is noticeably tangy which gives it a lot of character. Strong recommend. The bagels were much less remarkable though. They had no crust to speak of, and the flavor was close to pretzel. The dough becomes sweet as you chew and, as a result, it tastes a little incongruous with the sour cream cheese. (Butter may be the preferred topping.) That said, the dough has a good deal of structure and holds up a sandwich easily. Plus, their sandwiches are a much better deal: a bagel alone costs $3 (!) while sandwiches are all under $10 (!). Speaking of which, you should really order a bagel sandwich and sit for a while at the couches. There have been patrons sitting and chatting around the shop on both of my visits now. It is a place to luxuriate over a late breakfast, rather than grab a drive-thru sandwich. The shop's aspiration is to be something like a small-town gay bar for bagels -- in the sense of building queer community over food and drink -- and it hits the mark. As their mug puts it: LGBT is short for "Let's Get Bagels Together." Note: Yesterday was my second visit to the shop. The first was so culinarily negative that I swore off coming back. In a nutshell, I believe that I was sold a box of day-olds, on my first visit, although I did not know that at the time. The bagels were handed to me cold and stale in a prepackaged box, despite my having arrived shortly after opening. Eating six of them was an unpleasant chore. Curiosity and a hope that there was some kind of mistake brought me back to the shop yesterday. It is, after all, the gayest bagel in town. I'm glad I stopped back in, and I look forward to spending some time there soon.
