Very surprised to see an Asian market with a great variety of options in the area. We happened to…read morepassed by the market and saw some of our favorite items that you can only get in Asian markets. Red dates, Gogi Berry, ginger tea, kimchi, Vita drinks, matcha soymilk, miso paste, whole wall of lee kum kee sauces, japanese candies, Korean banana milk, coffee milk, instant noodles, and much more. Their fresh produce was a bit low in stock but they had Taiwan and Napa cabbage and fresh ginger. Inside seems clean and there is parking right outside of the market. Cashier was really friendly. There is a membership to earn points to redeem for coupon. Don't forget to grab some Japanese or Korean instant coffee packs and special lays flavored chips! Those are so good.

When i tell you that this doesn't taste like coffee, i felt like a child drinking a cup of iced milk. I've seen baristas modify orders before, and i assume it's because they are making a drink that they would like, but i wanted coffee, aggressive amounts of coffee and caffeine. I will say that art mart normally makes excellent coffee, and they use Kilgus dairy milk, which tastes great. But i need to know i'm gonna get coffee, when i buy coffee.

Good selection but rude staff and higher than average prices…read more On the way back from a Doctor's appointment last month, I stopped in to pick up some supplements that were recommended. While I was aware we're in a pandemic, I wore a mask and kept distance from others around me. (Mind you, the isles are very tight and, I would guess, not ADA compliant. While I was looking for the capsules I needed, the employee brought another customer to look for an item and had the audacity to look at me and say "could you move six feet away? You need to social distance." Even though I was there first, the employee was more interested in attempting to upset to a random customer than someone who had two bottles of pills in their hands. While it's a good store, I'll order online in the future. Let them pay their bills by ignoring one customer over another.

I have officially had the best sandwich in my life, thanks to this place. I'm visiting a friend,…read moreand found Cheese and Crackers on Yelp. I'm not a sandwich person, but my 16 year old is, and I wanted something I could eat to-go. You can smell the scent of yummy as you walked into the door. It appears to be a gourmet grocery store, specializing in sushi grade seafood, pasta from Italy, fancy cheeses, meats, caviar, and sodas from around the country. They had diet Cheerwine, even. I've never seen so many different root beers in one place- there was even a pumpkin root beer! There wasn't a BLT on the menu, but they custom made one for my son, and he added pesto and provolone. He declared it the best BLT ever, and knocked his favorite sandwich place back home to second place. I had the Thanksgiving everyday. A $16 buck sandwich, I was skeptical it wasn't going to live up to its price point. However, it was worth every cent. It was turkey, goat cheese, and homemade cranberry sauce on sourdough, and grilled panini style on a press. The turkey was sliced fresh- everything was made fresh. The taste was absolutely amazing. I live in California, but hate most sourdough bread, because that tang tastes spoiled. You don't have that weird taste with Cheese and Crackers sourdough bread- it's just delicious toasted buttered bread. It was the right texture and made it crunch. The crew appeared very hardworking and enjoyed their jobs. We were greeted kindly, and felt welcome. I use a walker, and was able to navigate the store, but note the space is kinda small. Since I don't live here, I'm going to do my best to recreate my sandwich at home. Cheese and Crackers- thanks for teaching me about a delicious flavor combination, and for providing an enjoyable epicurean experience.

How could they possibly claim to have the best sandwich in the state? My son insisted on coming…read morehere just because of that claim, but what a huge disappointment! We paid $20 for one sandwich and waited more than 20 minutes for it. When we finally got it, the three of us each took just two bites and didn't want to eat any more. The bread was soggy, and one of the sauces inside had a slightly bitter taste. Honestly, this was incredibly disappointing. Definitely not what we expected after hearing it was supposed to be the best sandwich in the state.

It can be a little bit pricey but I definitely think it's worth what you're paying. They have a great outdoor idea to sit in if you have a dog with you and the staff is so friendly.

Its got a lot of natural light, plenty of seating and has a really nice ambiance for a quick lunch or coffee date. We stopped by for their delicious foccacia pizza but were informed that they don't serve it after 1:30 pm. We settled on the tuna melt but were disappointed by that; cold tuna salad, greasy soft bread (ie not toasted enough), and a slice of unmelted cheese. It really didn't work. We also ordered a few baked goodies but were disappointed to see a bug flying on the cookies. I'm giving them 3 stars for the overall vibe of the restaurant and past experiences. I'm hoping that today they were just having an off day.

I think I've seen 1 billboard in Champaign / Urbana for here.. maybe. But, a coworker of mine suggested I go and thank goodness she did. The food here is so delish. We got the chef tasting and wine pairing. 5 courses + 5 wines. The muscles we were served for the entree were the star of the show; Especially the sauce they were served in - killer. It's not particularly "fancy" inside, given you're on a farm. But, it is cute and clean. Do be weary when ordering because our bill came to just under $300 for 2 with the tasting menu. There are many other cheaper options on the menu and their menu is clearly priced online so there are no blindsides. This is a great place to go for a birthday dinner or celebration. You will enjoy the food (and the goats)
