Good food, atmosphere and help staff.
Nice place for breakfast. Great coffee. Above average breakfast food. Very good pancakes.
Great service. Delicious almond french toast. Great price too. My new favorite breakfast spot when I'm in the area. . 5/16/2023 I think there was a miscommunication on both mine and the waitresses part! My lunch partner and I just ended up getting the salad bar so not to be sitting another 30 minutes without any service. The salad bar was fresh and delicious!
Surprisingly good! We came in with no expectations but loved everything from the sandwiches and sides to the pasta and appetizers. We had to return the next day for more!
Good affordable menu. Busy place.
Saw another review about how impossible it is to get seated and how they take reservations for some people but not others and wanted to echo the sentiment. I've been here a few times and HAVEN'T been able to get in because of the insane wait times. Every time I've tried to go we are told it's a 40 minute wait even when there are open seats. The hostesses just stare at you like deer in headlights and forget the order they checked people in. I wanted to like this place because of all the other nice reviews, but I haven't actually been able to try the food.
The food selections and tastes, service, and atmosphere were all amazing! Really enjoyed this stop! Will be back again the next time we're in Urbana
Waited over an hour for food. Service was slow and when we asked for more of sauces it never came.
Started going to Courier in 1986. While in Grad school. Excellent burgers, salads and milk shakes. Super friendly staff.
Didn't purchase any food. Coffee was OK. Great ambiance.
First time at this restaurant and it was amazing the food was delicious and the staff is very friendly we will come back soon and I highly recommend it.
Very disappointed in changes. The "pay by weight" salad bar option is gone and that was a highlight to the business-will seiously consider not returning on that change alone. A lot of menu items were out/unavailable. The wait for our food was long. My daughter's beef Manhattan was served with French fries and not mashed potatoes because they were suddenly out of mashed pototoes! Server promised to remove from our bill, but only discounted 50%. All in all, a horrid experience...
Really like this place. Great decor, nice staff, yummy food.
Food and service were both excellent. The Courier Cafe is a Chambana treasure.
One of my favorites here in the Champaign-Urbana area. Breakfast and lunch are top notch. Don't forget to grab a cookie on the way out! 🤩
The food was fantastic. Our waiter was very attentive, helpful, kind.
Great food. Great service. Highly recommend.
Amazing food for a great price! Great customer service! Warm and friendly atmosphere (ambiance?)! I love this place!
Memories abound surround the former newspaper! tin ceiling... original clock... Great shakes!
As the oldest cafe in Champaign - Urbana, the vibe is very unique. It is popular for brunch and Is vegetarian friendly. The staff offers great service.
