With hundreds of locally owned
restaurants featuring flavors from
all over the world, it's no wonder
Midwest Living named us the
Greatest Midwest Food Town. Our
culinary scene continues to grow
in and around Champaign-Urbana.
Get planning, as we have a spot to
satisfy all your cravings.
Flying Machine Avionics
We have you covered for arguably
the most important meal of the day,
whether you're downing a few cups of
coffee or want a hearty Midwest meal.
CAFFEINATION FIRST
There's no shortage of cafés around the
region that will give you some pep in your
step. Whether you want an Americano or
a cup of Earl Grey tea, Café Kopi and Mad
Goat Coffee in downtown Champaign are
top destinations for locals and visitors alike.
Along the Boneyard Creek, Flying Machine
Avionics is also home to the woman-owned
Page Roasting Company, so grab a bag of
beans to brew at home. A popular campus
spot, Caffe Paradiso, is a meeting place for
students, faculty, and the community with
amped-up beverages and plenty of tasty
treats. Off Market Street in Paxton, Kino's
Coffee will get you ready to start your day
before shopping in the area.
DIVE INTO DINERS
A big plate of bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns
hits the spot. No one does a Haystack quite
like Ott's Drive-In in Rantoul. Sam's Café in
downtown Champaign is a gathering place
for all, with French Toast as a customer
favorite. Want breakfast any time? Merry
Ann's Diner is open 24 hours to satisfy
those midnight cravings.
