The only place in C-U area where you can get balkan specials (e.g. burek). I also recommend their delicious pastry and bread , but they still need to learn how to make world-famous Turkish coffee :)
Best breakfast choice in champaign by far.If you feel like you dont have anyplace to get breakfast and you are from the otherside of the planet be sure to check this place out.Desserts are good aswell
A great place for breakfast or lunch plus an excellent selection of breads . Oh and the brownies are superb!
Crepes are pretty good. Staff is helpful when it came to making recommendations for dessert ! Mouth watering desserts FYI!
Good coffee and great bread ! Paisano and country style multigrain breads .
Their omelets are fantastic! Try the Spinach & Feta : so simple, well-priced, and they really load it chunks of feta .
Everything!! Especially if Lexi is working!!
The salmon crepe is outstanding, as is the veggie crepe with avocado . Pretty cheap and a good atmosphere especially in the summer time when you can eat and read outside.
Excellent lunch spot , try the chicken Cesar with a ginger ale . The back patio is relaxing.
Great pastry . They serve Lavazza coffee , but it's hit and miss depending on who makes it.
Great lunch spot -- 1/2 soup and sandwich is great
Free fresh-baked cookie Monday... What's not to love?
They just started selling cupcakes and the pumpkin mousse one is perfect for fall!
Bread , pastries , coffee and sandwiches .
The HOT CHICKEN PARISIENNE chicken sandwich is delicious.
Dessert , pastries , cookies

Love the new Thai Chicken Salad, perfect blend of spices and veggies! - Thelma Childers
Great service and cupcakes. Ordering them by the half dozen is cheaper and you get more variety. - Brian Boles
Coffee is excellent. Their list of 'simple sandwiches' are affordable and delicious (they're also served with chips and grapes). - Ash
Local gem bringing in great acts and in a beautiful historic setting. - Lisa Hinchliffe
