Walnut Street Tea
115 S Walnut St, Champaign, IL
Crema's Take
“Walnut Street Tea Company is a nostalgic haven that captures the unhurried charm of a traditional tea parlor, complete with loose leaf selections, silk bag infusions, and an ever-rotating collection that keeps regulars coming back. The staff here genuinely cares about guiding you—whether you're a curious newcomer or seasoned tea devotee—with the kind of knowledgeable, honest recommendations that make all the difference. It's the rare spot where you can linger over a perfectly steeped cup, enjoy a pastry, and feel like you've stepped into a slower, more thoughtful version of today.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

No. 1 spot for coffee and tea. They have a marvelous selection and it changes frequently, whilst keeping the classics. Small, smells divine, scoop your own beans kind of shop. Friendly cashiers who always know what you want, and grind beans to whatever your need. Fun treats,…
