Caffé Bene

I’ve got to give credit where it’s due, this place has incredible dessert options. A little pricey in my opinion (depending on what you get). I’ve been here about 3 times, and this time around I got the Strawberry Ice Parfait- really it’s bingsu. It had shaved ice, fresh strawberries, red beans, strawberry ice cream & a strawberry jam blend.

I initially thought it was kind of overpriced, but the portion size is quite large- even take out. This location does have a service fee of 5% but I’m unsure if that’s across all orders or just take out.

The place was very clean and quiet! A perfect nook to study or work.

I have been to many smoothies and boba tea shops and have never been to a shop that is so disorganized like this place. There is no tag on the drinks, so if you ordered similar drinks, good luck figuring out. The employee couldn't tell which is which once they are made. The quality of the smoothies and boba teas, I guess it is good enough for university campuses outside of big cities like Chicago.

Really great place to study and hangout with friends. They have great bubble tea and other snacks to eat. Lots of natural light and seating for large groups, small groups, or just yourself. It can get super busy during the school year though

So great! Sat inside by the window, lots of seating that has views. Great variety of coffee drinks, quick to-go choices, muffins, fruit and more. Very friendly here too. Will definitely come back here. Enjoyed my coffee and my food. Super easy parking nearby and easily walkable in the UI area

Friendly staff. I ordered a milk bubble tea. The tapioca balls did not taste fresh, but the area was clean and the ambiance was really nice. Their white chocolate macadamia cookies tasted good.

I have been buying coffee here. Coffee was good. mojito is great. But I bought a tiramisu last time and it has gone bad.

hi, I often come to caffe bene to study. today I was hungry so I decided to order the cup bap since my bf had recommended from some years back. while ordering I could see they were busy. possibly understaffed since I saw who I assumed to be the owner helping out. well despite being busy my food came out quickly and OH MY GOD! it was soooo so good! nicely priced and the perfect serving size, even if my photo does not do it justice! I got the beef cup bap & am wondering if I should order another to take home! the service was also great! thank you so much! will definitely order this again!

Maple macchiato was delicious (and really pretty). Milk tea with boba was fresh. Macarons were great too (earl grey pictured). The inside was very spacious and set up great to work from your laptop. I definitely recommend!!!! ♥️

A cozy Cafe to study, hang out or get a quick bite! Located about two blocks away from krannert center. You get everything here from bubble teas to coffees , sandwiches to desserts including macarons and gelato. The price is very affordable. I have had macarons, gelato and bubble teas here and I loved all of it. You have to try their watermelon bubble tea smoothie and their blueberry lavender macaron. Also, you can get acai bowl here. Overall, love it!

Lovely place!! The noise level doesn't exceed a soft background chatter which was ideal for studying. I am looking forward to coming back and trying all the cute desserts!
