Excellent sangria and salmon. Soups always a good choice as well as desserts. Gluten-free options clearly labelled. Manhattan was a bit stiff, barramundi underwhelming. Make reservations as it is small and gets packed quickly.
The best restaurant in Champaign county and surrounding, hands down. The owners and staff are incredibly welcoming, and great at introducing their amazing food. Their empanadas and arepas have become regular lunches and dinners for me, as well as the rest of their menu which I’m working my way through! Further, this is the BEST restaurant outside of Columbus for those with celiac or gluten intolerance! I can’t recommend any restaurant before Abuela’s Kitchen!
I appreciate this coffee house so much. I try to visit at least once a week, and every time I’m a goofball that does something silly like hitting the wrong tip button so I buy something else to tip correctly or just drop both of my Birdies cakes on the floor. The employees are always so kind to me without judgement. As someone who is on the spectrum, this is a safe place for me where I can go and feel almost no extra anxieties. In addition, I have Celiac Disease, and every time I ask “does this have gluten in it”, the staff always takes time to help me (though I just go with what I know is safe during busy hours). Thank you for showing kindness to people at all costs. I hope this brings in others dealing with some of the same things that I am.
