I recently made a trip back to UIUC for a visit. There were a few places that i had to hit, and this was one of them. My favorite items from this place are its pastries with almonds and marzipan. Their raspberry almond horns are probably my favorite dessert ever. It has a a thick crunchy outside with a crumbly soft inside. The almond flavor is intense and delicious! Their bear claws also have a lot of almond flavor and thin flaky crust. Coffee cake was great too. To this day, I still have not found any pastry I like as much as their almond horn.
The prices are a little expensive, but i think it is justified by the quality of their items. Whenever I come back to U of I, this is one place that I have to stop at!
