Pekara Bakery is one of my absolute favorites in Champaign! They have *the best* tiramisu and crepes in the C-U area, and their crepes are to die for. In addition to their many bakery items, they have a great assortment of coffee drinks, sandwiches, salads, and more! It is the perfect place to go for breakfast, brunch or to get dessert. Always such a treat!
I will add that this is not an ideal place for large groups or meetings. They have a back room, but seating is kind of tight and the sound carries and can be very loud. It is *perfect* for small meetings, however. I really enjoy holding one-on-one meetings there, or meeting with a small handful of friends. In the summer, their outdoor seating is great too!
The only reason my review is 3-stars and not 5-stars is because the staff members are not the friendliest. I have had multiple encounters with different cashiers and their attitude is the same across the board. I have also had two incidents where they forgot about my order and I had to wait over 45 minutes to get it. My fiance won't come with me to Pekara because he feels the staff are so rude to us. I usually get our orders to go.
