Gloria Jean’s Coffees
2000 N Neil St, Champaign, IL
Crema's Take
“Gloria Jean's in Champaign shines through the genuine warmth of its staff, who consistently go above and beyond even when stretched thin—one solo barista earned praise for maintaining grace under pressure and ensuring drinks were made just right. While their specialty drinks like strawberry matcha lattes with boba and creative seasonal offerings show real care in execution, consistency seems to be the challenge, with some drinks hitting beautifully and others falling flat or tasting overly diluted. It's a spot where the people behind the counter make the experience feel personal and thoughtful, even if the coffee itself can be a bit unpredictable.”

Guy working behind the counter was by himself and serving many customers. Obviously stressed out but still providing great customer service!
I ordered a strawberry matcha latte with boba! The server was really respectful and he made sure my drink was made right! I recommend this place !! The service was great, drink was amazing and they have nice coffee mugs/cups too!!
The guy who served us was amazing! He also gave us a free macaroon and was so kind. Our food and drinks were amazing.
The coffee was decent, but it was a little overpowered by the other flavors. The service was extremely friendly.
The two workers were nice. I ordered an iced chai and it sucked! Such a rip off. I think they put chai mix and added water instead of milk. Tasted so watered down. Disappointed we paid money for that drink. Honestly should have tried to take it back.
