| - I went here because I had a $4 off $20 coupon from County Market and like unique little bistros, so I figured this place was definitely worth a try. I had the french onion soup and the Paris-Texas panini (french baguette, marinated and grilled chicken breast topped with onions, manchego, and gryuere cheese.) I ordered mine without poblano but it comes with that too if you like a spicier pepper. Both were very tasty, although I wish the french onion soup had more cheese and the panini was a little bit bigger. This place is pretty reasonably priced and is maybe a buck or two more than anything you would get at your local cookie-cutter Panera Bread, except this place has more character.
My boyfriend was enticed by the endless amounts of hard-to-find pops in the humongous fridge next to the cash register. He opted for a "Moxie" and really enjoyed its unique flavor. Personally, I didn't really care for it but at $2.50 for each bottle, the price wasn't too bad if you want something special.
Make sure you check the back of your receipt from County Market to get the $4 off coupon---it truly is worth it. I ended up getting a "free" fresh baked cinnamon roll to go (SO GOOD, especially when warmed up for a few seconds in the microwave) and "free" pommes frites. It's hard to find good french fries, especially in Champaign-Urbana where your options are extremely limited, but these were FANTASTIC. Probably some of the best french fries I've EVER had. It's $2 for a side dish, and it's definitely worth every penny.
Go here.
