Caffe Bene

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

The bingsu is terrible. The ice is huge and barely eatable with the strawberry jam and ice cream. It was basically inedible. And for $15? never going back here

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

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. 😅

I walked into the store at 20:30, December 19th. There was only one guy working at the counter. And when I tried to order some stuff, he was busy with the ordering screen and yelled at me “wait a second, could YOU WAIT A SECOND?” with a loud voice and angry face. There was no other customer before or after me, and I was doing nothing except trying to get my order placed. I don’t know why he was so angry at me. I’ve came to Bene for more than 20 times since September and I really love the bubble tea and honey bread, but I’ve never been treated like this before.

They offer a great variety of foods, which is always good. The coffee is good and served in generous portions.

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 you're looking to chill, have some nice sweets, and enjoy coffee on a rainy day.

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!).

Very pleasant atmosphere, food is excellent

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 I've been sleeping on this place but it's definitely my new study spot
