Tasty Tart
405 S Neil St, Champaign, IL
Crema's Take
“This Champaign bakery-café fills the air with the kind of warmth that makes you feel like you've stumbled onto a well-kept secret, where hand-crafted tarts in rotating flavors (think Biscoff cheesecake and brownie varieties) are the real stars alongside carefully made traditional coffee drinks. The friendly staff and cozy vibe invite you to linger over matcha tea and pastries that are genuinely delicious and fairly priced, making it the kind of place regulars come back to again and again. With ample parking in the back and a 4.9-star reputation built on genuine word-of-mouth love, it's the perfect stop when you want coffee that matters paired with something genuinely special to eat.”

Walked in and it smelled like a quintessential bakery in the best way possible. All the tarts I've tried from here are absolutely delicious (some examples off the top of my head - cheese, biscoff cheesecake, strawberry). The place also has a really cute vibe, and I appreciate the wall of notes. Only small complaint is that when I took my brother for the first time, there were no supplies left with which to add our own note to the wall. Not sure if that was intentional.
I recently tried the Biscoff Cheesecake Tart and the Brownie Tart from Tasty Tart, and the experience was mixed — though not without highlights. The Biscoff Cheesecake Tart was the clear standout. The cheesecake filling was smooth and well-structured, offering a creamy consistency without being overly dense. The sweetness was restrained and balanced, allowing the caramelized notes of the Biscoff topping to shine. The added cookie provided a pleasant crunch, creating thoughtful textural contrast. Overall, it felt composed and intentional. The Brownie Tart, while enjoyable, was less distinctive. The filling delivered a rich, fudgy profile, but it lacked complexity and depth compared to the cheesecake option. It satisfied a chocolate craving, though it didn’t leave a lasting impression. In short, Tasty Tart shows strong potential — particularly with their cheesecake offerings — and the Biscoff tart is the item I would confidently recommend.
I’m in love with Tasty Tart! I feel like I’m actually addicted at this point. The staff is super friendly and they have a great selection. They’re my favorite pick my up treat!
Such a cute location!!! The tarts are extremely fairly priced and they were so delicious. Highly recommend, I definitely plan to come back and try other flavors along with their drinks!
I can't believe this was my first time visiting Tasty Tart! Honestly, maybe it was because the parking lot looks tough to navigate, but there is extra parking in the back! I loved my experience. The oolong tea was awesome, and the person working there was very kind to me. I'm excited to come back and try more of their tea/coffee drinks! Great aesthetic and fair prices. There is actually a decent amount of space inside despite what it looks like from the road. 🥰
