Crema's Take

“Tucked inside Urbana's library, The Library Café strikes that rare balance between a focused work spot and a genuinely welcoming gathering place, where baristas pull excellent espresso drinks and generous pour-overs while you're surrounded by the quiet hum of people actually engaged with something. The prices won't break the bank, the staff moves with genuine friendliness, and whether you're after a perfectly crafted café breve, a matcha tea, or fresh pastries, you'll find yourself lingering longer than you planned—which is exactly the point.”

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

The prices are low, the mango smoothie is delicious, and I've heard coffee is great too.

Love the library cafe. Teas and coffees have always been good. Service is always friendly and speedy. Since it's in the library the atmosphere is also great.

Everyone in the library is nice, and the workers give you generous portions. The price is great for what you get. Worker filled the smoothie to the brim.

I didn't eat but the Cafe breve was perfect. Service was prompt and friendly. I sat and worked on a project while people came and went . Perfect for me. If you want less activity there is a quiet study room. It is very active in the afternoon after Edison lets out.
