Drinks and food are decent, but SO overpriced sometimes. Paid literally $5 for a frappe made with powder and ice and they said whipped cream is EXTRA/an up-charge. Whipped cream????? Starbucks is cheaper and includes whipped cream. 😅

Good frappe! Wish theyd add whipped cream but its really good. Nice atmosphere, open late 👍

Loved the taste! Would love to come again.

Overall is okay. But as of 08/07/2021, they didnt turn the AC on or something. Its freaking hot.

Love the mocha and the cinnamon rolls. Also, the atmosphere is nice when its not super crowded. They should check some of the chairs I saw a couple of them with the legs damaged.

Poor service at their Green St branch. Cappuccino and Frappe both were average.

I ordered a bingsu, cashier charge me the largest size which was $15, I was distracted and didn’t realize until I’d already sweat my card and the cashier mention the total. the bongs I itself had almost no fruit, I was expecting a mango sorbet with it. I instead got vanilla when I asked if it could be something ele like one of the surveys , I was told it was too late, I would’ve appreciated i’m asking what flavor of gelato I wanted since they didn’t have the mango, or at least putting it on the side since I mentioned I didn’t like vanilla. All I know I felt like I wasted $15. This is not something I would order or try to order from them again. Too expensive, their cheese pepperoni sandwich on the other hand is very good I wish I had ordered that instead

Colde brew is great and the last time I went there they played Animal Crossing music for an hour, then some lofi study music. Dunno why Ive been sleeping on this place but its definitely my new study spot

Great place to study or catch up with a friend! a little pricey but worth if youre spending long hours there. also, the matcha latte is too sweet.

My favorite cafe on campus! Great food and lattes! Jennifer is also an amazing Barista.

Had heard a lot of good things about Caffe Bene and after a long wait, a sudden phone call from a friend helped me pave my way to this cafe. Tried the Tiramisu there and hands down, it was amongst one of the best Tiramisu’s I have had. Perfect creaminess and cocoa level. The ambience of this place is amazing, may be to hang out or get some work done. Looking forward to explore more options at this cafe.

Great frappe and the sweet breakfast French toast/pancake. No other frame of reference for other items. Only problem is its a bit pricey 😬

Their gelato is super good and so is their coffee! Nice aesthetic but usually quite crowded at least on weekends so it can be hard to find an open table

My favorite place in Champaing! They have the bests desserts and macarons!

A really nice and cozy place to grab a cup of coffee and study. They have booths with outlets attached to the sides, and tables for group of friends to hang out. Definitely check it out!

Love the bubble tea--milk one is a personal favorite.

Tried chocolate frappe and I am utterly disappointed.

Not bad but overpriced in my opinion. Price for waffle topping is crazy. Regular strawberry waffle is ~$6 and with banana added price is up to ~$10.

Must try Mochas!

Really neat little place. Was not expecting to find bubble tea in this area and was pleasantly surprised. Had a matcha latte with tapioca bubbles and it was wonderful.I didnt have anything to eat but the food looked delicious too.

Beautiful place with a cozy atmosphere and fairly inexpensive. Employees were kind and quick to get my order out. One of my favorite cafes on campus!

Damn good place for coffee and sit down. Had a really good mocha coffee, immediately perfect temperature for drinking when it was served. The cheese cake was really good too. Highly recommend if youre looking to chill, have some nice sweets, and enjoy coffee on a rainy day.

Out of all the coffee shops on campus, this one has the best atmosphere, in my opinion. They serve bubble tea, which is a plus. Music selection is great

Wrote pretty much my entire masters thesis at this place. Very productive study atmosphere.

Great spot for good coffee, cozy seating and good vibes. Loved the Cafe Saigon, a condensed milk-based coffee and the Portabella sandwich. Opens early for a quick start to the day and has an abundance of seating options for students, visitors, families, etc.

Great spot and a good variety of comfortable spots to sit in. I particularly like the tiny booths since they’re perfect for working or studying when alone, and they’re in the far back of the cafe. The food and drinks and cleanliness are fantastic, and the service is great too! The ambience is great for studying or for talking with friends, and I’ve had many small meetings here to take care of business. The honey bread is scrumptious; I think the cinnamon one is my favorite (although I can’t pin the name down; you’ll have to find out which one it is yourself!).

Beautiful ambience and music.Great coffeeAmazing cakes and pastries!Perfect for a student to come and be productive or work. They also have free wifi.Theres also a shelf with variety of books and novels to choose from.

A great location for hangouts and gives a comfortable vibe. The food is fresh and the bathrooms are so clean. Their service makes my day with their bright smiles.

Great bubble tea!

Good

After trying several food items and drinks, I have to say this is amazing. The prices are affordable, the atmosphere is very calm, the staff is super nice and the place is spotless. I recommend their misugaru latte and spicy chicken sandwich. This is a must-visit location. (This review was written while school wasnt in session)

All juices are good. The highlight is Peach mango because of its unique flavour. Very silent atmosphere good for doing home work.

Oh man. I am speechless as to how clean, friendly, and inviting this place was. The service was great, the music was relaxing, and the desserts were amazing. 10/10 would eat again 👌

Friendly staff. The place has a great atmosphere to study or to chat with friends over a great selection of unique coffee and tea flavors. I go at least twice a week for their gelatos, cheesecake, and bread selection.

I strongly recommend the Acai bowl! Great customer service, very clean environment, and relaxing music. Ill back to try the other things on the menu.

A good place to do your work with a cup of coffee

Its amazing and has great lunch food and sweets and some Japanese extras

Their bubble tea is fire. Also really really chill vibes. Id definitely study here.

Coffee tastes very good and good place to enjoy coffee and dissert

Great atmosphere. Good place to read. Friendly and courteous staffs. Good meal too!

Great value for amazing breakfast food!

Fantastic, friendly workers. Kept clean and good for studying since theres power outlets for computers and phones.

Caramel Latte Macchiato tastes great but its not hot enough

Comfy place to do studying or writing essays. However, coffee price is pricy, which is expected from a medium to high-tier coffee. Really nice place to hang out with friends on , or just to do work alone. I dont think they have a limit on how long you can stay, but just be considerate if you see the place seems to be full and crowded.

Had their expensive spicy chicken sandwich which was not spicy. I am confused how buffalo sauce is spicy. I just did not buy it. I expected more for the money I paid. The french roll was nice and the thick chicken breast was too. The spread was ok. But I only got two jalapenos that tasted like dill pickles. The sauteed bean sprouts did not make any sense. I got too many onions. I honestly wonder why I got a ridiculous amount of them. The mixed green salad with some long peanuts and some sweet balsamic vinaigrette was enjoyable. I would absolutely never order this again. I also plunged to spend further to get a large hot caffe latte for the road. As a home barista myself I got nothing but big bubbled foam on the latte. But the taste of the espresso had a long lasting aftertaste which I liked.👎🤡👎

Good coffee and ice cream. Nice atmosphere. Good place to study. Didnt like their cake at all.

Good waffles and sweet bread the chicken sandwich was not to my tasting, because the chicken was like precooked chicken chunks frozen and then microwaved.

This place has to be experienced to be believed. Enormous menus of food, desserts, sushi, gelato, and Belgian waffles. Dangerously addictive.

Try their acai bowl. Lots of desserts and other food as well as great coffee. Relaxed vibes.

There was hair in my food 😡

Something different. Interesting food thats always good. N nice personal barista. And not super busy when I go early before work.

Great coffee shop, they also have food and bubble tea, and the seating space is great

The bubble tea and waffles are amazing. Very fast service as well.

I like the jazzy music there. Coffee is good.

Nice place but always crowded and difficult to find a good table.

Good place for coffee, bubble tea, and sweets. A bit too noisy for homework and more expensive than most places on campus.

Download Hooked to get in on $1 medium coffee or gelato scoop. Gelato is decadent. Coffee is smooth. Wooden atmosphere. Will spot UIUC students on their Macs.

Great campus Hangouts that I go to for the acai bowls.

Grabbed an Acai bowl and a cup of coffee, both were excellent!

Calm atmosphere, efficient staff, great place to stop and get morning coffee before work.

The place was nice but the Thai flavor bubble tea wasnt .

This place is ideal if you wish to work as it has spacious tables, comfy chairs, many outlets, good lighting and of course, coffee. A bit pricy compared to other coffee shops.

Good ambience, nice coffee and wonderful staff

The gelato and brownies are so good, its a nice environment to study in, but its usually packed.

Great place to catch up with old friends and acai bowl.

Staff is always friendly, you can sit down in a relaxed atmosphere and enjoy coffee, desserts, and more!

Hipster cafe but they have friendly service and good snacks.

Beautiful k-pop music performance on Saturday by korean band

Best bubble tea Ive ever had.

Pricey but has good healthy food options

Great bubble tea and environment

Loved their coffee, dessert and the ambience

I like to study here. Good bubble tea.

Best sandwich Ive ever had

Best cafe in the green street, closer to uni, best place to chill

The coffee is ok but the music horrendous. I couldn’t stay because of that. If you are not 12 years old and Korean American you might suffer...

Best prices Ive seen at a coffee shop

Great selection of coffee and tea!

When I visited here, there was only one guy working for both cashier and making beverages. I was worring that it would take awhile to get my drink but it actually came out fast.

Typically pretty busy and loud. Coffee is fine, nothing special.

Nice coffee shop on Green Street.

LOVED their caramel latte.

Great vibe, even better drinks.

Excellent coffee and service

Good place togo

Best coffee shop in campus town.
