COTTI COFFEE- UIUC
509 E Green St Suite C, Urbana, IL
Crema's Take
“Tucked into the UIUC campus, this spot has built a reputation on genuinely friendly service and creative signature drinks like their brown sugar oat latte and cloud mousse opera latte that balance bold coffee flavors with inventive sweetness. The quick-service setup with self-ordering kiosks and minimal seating makes it perfect for students grabbing coffee between classes, though some of their more experimental drinks can be hit-or-miss depending on what you're craving. What really sets them apart isn't just the coffee itself, but the warmth of the people behind the counter who seem genuinely happy to help you out.”

It might be what I got: a cloud mousse opera latte, but it was not the experience I was hoping for. While I was expecting a creamier/thicker drink— I was also hoping it would still have a stronger coffee taste which it lacked. It feels like I’m just drinking cream with no specific flavors. But the service was really fast so points for that.
It's primarily a take-out-only place with a few seats available. The interior was clean, and the service was quick. It also offers self-ordering kiosks. The coconut latte tasted great, and their default sweetness level is definitely much more subdued than that of some other chains.
The thing that distinguishes Cotti Coffee from the many other great cafes in UC is the superb service. The woman working was so friendly and happy to help me with my Fantuan discount. I knew that my business was appreciated. The Portuguese tart that I got was delicious. Additionally, it has a very nice, cozy ambiance and an excellent playlist. It is a great place to go for a quick fix or to stay with friends.
Such an amazing place to grab my coffee! I was surprised by how Cotti actually has came to the campus. The store is so organized
i got the brown sugar oat latte, and it was really good! the brown sugar flavor was just like a brown sugar boba flavor and the coffee flavor was prominent and delicious. i will definitely come again. it was a bit crowded/cramped inside but online ordering ahead makes the process a little easier. great prices (just paid $1 for my first drink) and good service too!
