8 Best Cafes in Champaign

“Nice cafe inside Champaign Public Library (which is great on its own!). NO CHARGE for milk alternatives!! Espresso, drip coffee, cold brew, tea, prepackaged cooler options (juice, seltzer, etc.). Some vegan food options including bags of chips, veggie and fruit bowls, and a veggie hummus wrap. They are unsure if the wrap itself is entirely vegan ingredients but are looking into it, seems to just be a large flour wrap. Prices are great- they also have a punch card (10 drinks for 1 free) and $1 hot coffee with your own cup. Coffee and tea are sourced local from Columbia Street Roastery. Free parking on multiple bus lines, and easily walkable from UIUC. Great public library and a great place to work, socialize, etc. Outdoor seating available too!“

“Stopped in on or way back from Chicago and had a great tasting espresso and coffee right off I-57. Thanks to Sarah for making good coffee and a tasty salad & sandwich for us! Friendly and helpful service!“

“we really missed Za's by the mall. We saw the campus location and it was even better tasting pizza, Sweet tangy sauce pepperoni with just a touch of heat. The only downside is limited space if they're busy, and watch your step. there is a small stepson at front by tables.“

“It's nice and clean . Smooth game play ! All players so far are very pleasant ! I love the items they offer ( Even tho I can't have anything stronger then Soda pop ! The attendant / employee is very pleasant and attentive ! I'll sure be going back to there !“

“Everything in my order was correct. The person at the window was also very friendly! My issue was that I chose rapid pickup drive-thru only to sit in the Drive-Thru for more than 30 minutes. The drive-thru is also surrounded by a garden, so once you are in, you can't get out. It's worth getting out of your car for regular rapid pick up.“

“GREAT coffee shop! I was unsure about the pistachio cream chocolate cold brew, and asked if I could have a sample, thinking it was just poured from a spout, but the made me a little version (which was above and beyond) and it was DIVINE!! Ordered one and told so many people about it! The next morning I ordered an iced horchata latte and a Southwest breakfast burrito, both fantastic! Highly recommend this place for the great drinks, great food and excellent service!“
