My wife worked here while she was in college. She said it looks the same as it did in the early 2000s

This was my go-to place for 'fancy' coffee when I was a student years ago. In Urbana today, and to my delight, I see it is still open! Popped in for a Lavender Matcha Latte (much MORE fancy than my old stand by mocha), and they still have the touch! Baristas were quick and super nice, making sure my drink tasted fabulous before I left. As much as some things change, some jist change for the better!

I only go here because it’s the closest coffee shop to my department. I rather go somewhere else 1000%. Every time I come here, I always leave disappointed. Today I was the only person in line and somehow my breakfast sandwich took 15 mins to be handed to me. It wasn’t until someone asked me if I was waiting on something. Yeah maybe the only breakfast sandwich back there? I also hate how they never mix the syrup. As a former barista my manager always made sure we mixed people’s drink so that the first sip they take isn’t just syrup. I will continue going here because desperate times call for desperate measures and I would consider this a desperate measure. Again as a former barista I love tipping other coffee shops but this is the only place I never tip at because of the reason that I always leave disappointed. Do better.

I'd rate this cafe higher is the consistency was better. I've had delicious mochas with lots of chocolate sauce and I've also had literal unsweetened cocoa powder mixed into my drink. I've had fantastic service very nice people and I've also had people snap at me when I'm trying to ask questions. The line can get long on busy days, and they could really used more workers or better organization.

Furniture could use a reupholstering. I ordered a caffe latte and received a matcha latte, but I know it's hard to hear. I wish the cashier had confirmed the order if it was unclear. Milk alternatives are 80 cents.

I visited a second time and service was definitely better. They put in my order correctly but their portion sizes are terrible. I got a regular latte with oat milk and more than half was the milk foam. For $6 I expected my drink not to be entirely milk foam. Very disappointed. I've added a picture, I did not take a single sip and this was the actual content of my drink, less than half the cup.

Not much of a coffee drinker but I do really like the amount of tea and syrup options they got. You can literally make it whatever taste and add anything (that they have) you want! I like to come here to get some productive work done, and this place definitely has a good vibe to it. The few bad things I can think of is it can get a bit packed during peak hours and the table and chairs are definitely not the cleanest. (Tables have a lot of gaps and traps a lot of dirt)

There is nothing like the indignity of getting whole milk in your latte after paying a $0.80 lactose intolerant tax to ask for oat milk. Horrible way to start the day, and it’s happened several times now. Just gonna go to Starbucks up the road from now on.

Cute cafe, furniture could use a reupholstering. I ordered a caffe latte and received a matcha latte, but I know it's hard to hear. I wish the cashier had confirmed the order if it was unclear.

Ok coffee if a bit pricey, staggeringly overpriced avocado toast for what you get (either halve the price or double the toast, 1 small piece for 6.95 is embarrassing)

They always mess up my order and forget to make the drinks. When I remind them, they give me attitude. Happens every time I go.
