★★★★☆ 4.0 Bunnah · Feb 2026

This restaurant is located inside the shopping plaza but which an outside entrance. We were greeted and seated immediately and the server was prompt to come over and take our drinks order. My friend ordered a Mimosa and corned beef hash and I ordered a reuben with a fountain drink. My friend got her drink and then the food came out. The server asked if we needed anything else. I asked for the fountain drink again. The food was yummy and came out quickly. The server checked on us once during our meal, and it was mostly towards the end. When it was time to pay, we werent permitted to see our checks. We were just presented with a number and a digital machine to pay with. The check process was cut so short, my friend and I ended up staying a bit after the check (maybe 10 minutes) to finish o

Truly a lovely addition to the Urbana community! The food was excellent and the staff were so nice and friendly! Even if there is a wait (as they can be busy, since it’s so good!), it’s so nice to be able to walk around the mall or get coffee in their cafe and chill there. Their Valentine’s Day latte (something similar to a vanilla latte with strawberry cold foam) was actually one of the best lattes I’ve ever had - good black coffee as well!

Such a fun a creative menu. We are attempting to try everything on it! See the pictures for our ratings! The diner itself has great vibes/decor and the wait staff are excellent. Special shout-out to Jillian, Tara, and Claudia!

Big disappointment. We chose this place based on its high Google rating (4.6 stars) and 'affordable' label, but our experience on 1/17/2026 was the opposite. First, we waited 20 minutes for a table despite the restaurant being half-empty. While the service was friendly and the coffee was decent, the food (and coffee) was overpriced and flavorless. $17 Patty Melt: Served on barely toasted bread with generic frozen waffle fries. $14 Egg Dish: Small portion, dry toast, and flavorless gravy. $8 for Coffee: Two black coffees cost $8 alone. To top it off, they didn't even have pancakes, despite having them advertised on their windows. We walked out paying over $50 for a below-average meal. I definitely would not recommend this spot based on the value for money and would say 3.2 might be a bett

This place is great! They have a very veggie friendly menu with options for substituting vegetarian patties, etc. for no extra cost. They have an array of various cafe drinks and a menu with really delicious options. The strawberry matcha drink was perfect and not too sweet. The vegetarian version of the patty melt was amazing, and the fries were seasoned so well! We definitely need more breakfast places in the CU area, so I really hope this one survives! 🥰
