Caffé Bene
700 S Gregory St, Urbana, IL
Crema's Take
“Caffé Bene is a welcoming campus hangout in Urbana that thrives on its laid-back atmosphere and creative drink menu—regulars rave about their white chocolate strawberry frappe and impressive dessert selection, making it a reliable spot for both studying and casual meetups. The spacious seating and attentive staff create an inviting environment where you can easily settle in for hours, though fair warning: stick to their signature specialty drinks and skip the smoothies, which reviewers found overpriced and underwhelming.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Wifi.
