Rick's Bakery made the most STUNNING cake for my grandmother's Celebration of Life party. It was…read moresuch a perfect tribute to her. I gave them a couple inspo photos but what they did went absolutely above and beyond what I imagined and everybody at the party was amazed and had nothing but good things to say. And that's just the outside! The taste was amazing, too. It was a half sheet princess cake which was delicious! Rick's made my graduation cake, a custom princess cake, over a decade ago and so I was so happy to see this was still an option they offered. Aside from the cakes Rick's has so much to offer. I grew up in Urbana -- I live out of state now -- but whenever I come to visit I stop in to grab a spinach and feta stuffed croissant! Definitely go check them out if you're in town!

I've made stuff with okara before and like the particular flavor and texture-- it feels drier and denser because of the soy pulp, but it's something I like. I also like how not too sweet everything is. Their miso salted caramel tart was also good, I also like that they sell day-old stuff with half price. I can get behind the concept and the intention behind how this bakery is ran. Very excited to have discovered this on our trip to visit uiuc. Would've loved to try their sencha, hojicha, and genmaicha next time!

The service was quick and friendly, the barista described the options available and had good recommendations! Good study space with WiFi, bathrooms, and a water fountain around the corner. Just be prepared to wear a jacket on either end of the cafe near the doors, can get windy upon opening! Thai Tea Caramel Canelé {5/5}: The best canelé I've ever had (okay, I admit, I've only had maybe 6 in my life). Great caramel and good Thai tea flavor. The texture was AMAZING with a nice slight crisp and chewy outside and almost custard-like inside. I got 2 more before I left Green Onion Kouign-Amann {4/5}: A caramel shell outside of this very flakey pastry that I had plenty of green onions mixed within the dough. It was a great play on sweet and salty flavors with delicious flakey layers Jade Cloud {3/5}: Peach oolong tea with matcha cold foam. Just a personal preference thing, but the flavor combination of peach, oolong, and matcha was not my favorite. I can see how someone who likes this flavor profile would find this drink refreshing!

Would definitely come back on my next visit. In the meantime, I'll just have to ask my friend to bring pastries to me when she visits!

I'm a late riser and was looking for a place still serving breakfast, where I could also get a good mocha latte (my favorite!) This place hit the mark! The inside of the cafe is so cute and welcoming! They have a couch and a comfy chair, and a little gift shop too! And their baked goods looked mouthwatering, but I resisted them as I'm trying to watch my sugar intake! Their menu is great, I got the egg and veggie patty breakfast sandwich which came with the option of roasted potatoes or a salad! A great option!! I chose the salad which was a refreshing balance and allowed me to get some greens in with my first meal of the day! The mocha latte was delicious and so was the food! I was half way thru my sandwich when I remembered I should take a pic to post a review! :-) I will definitely be back to this place and have already shared with my daughter so she can support this business as well! The barista was so kind and sweet also!! Big shouts out to this beautiful local cafe!

I have bought cakes from them three times. Till now I have tried, coconut cream cake, cashew caramel cake and butter cake.

It was moist and buttery. Cashew caramel cake (5/5): this is my favorite cake at this bakery, I love it. I pick the ones with burnt cashews as they taste so good.

My guests agreed, because I got rave reviews on the cake. The buttercream is so light and not overly sugary, it almost tastes like whipped cream. The fillings are also all fresh and yummy. Now, I'm a big fan of dropping in to pick up a 7" cake or some individually wrapped cupcakes, or ordering ahead of I want to be sure to get a certain flavor combination. Their cookies - shortbread and chocolate chip are also to die for. Make this your next stop for a cake or just a fun impromptu treat. You won't regret it!

I want one!" (The $5.50 stuffed cupcakes are jumbo, about twice the size of a standard one, and have fillings injected into the cake!) - "Brown sugar oatmeal is still available! Love the torched, burnt flavor of the coconut topping!" - "Petit fours!!!" - "Pretty packaging." (My 3 selections - in their individual plastic cupcake holders - were placed inside a colorful, floral printed plastic bag. Nice touch.) Standard gourmet cupcakes are $3 now, and more flavors are available than I recalled. I've recently also tried lemon lime, salted caramel, and peanut butter mousse. Generally, I'm not a huge buttercream fan, as it usually is too heavy on the butter for me, so the lemon lime and salted caramel were not my absolute faves. If I lived in this area, I would definitely want Ashlee to make my wedding or any special occasion cake!
