Everything I had was so good. Everyone talked about the stand out flavors!

We had coffee and cookies. The coffee was good. However, they were out of the delicious vanilla bean syrup. Our son had a cupcake, and I saw it for a half of a second, and then it was gone...so I'm thinking it's a 5 start cupcake Prices are very reasonable!!!!

Don't waste your money on Hopescotch cakes! I got an 8inch vanilla cake with matcha buttercream icing from Hopscotch. The cake looked great but it was THE worst experience in terms of flavor and texture. the cake sponge was clearly stale, very dense, and smelled really bad. The icing on the top was also so stiff that it fell apart when cutting the cake. I specifically asked the lady at the cashier that I want a fresh cake and this was far from being fresh. I didn’t expect Hopscotch to sell this quality of cake. I felt really embarrassed in the party seeing everyone finding their way to the trash can to get rid of their slice. I have contacted the store and nobody responded, next step is to take the leftover cake to the store and ask the owner to try it out!Update: I stopped by the store and explained the problem; the manager was very rude and said she choose to refuse a refund because of my review! Customer service on par with cake quality! Interesting fact, when I was there to complain, the other two cakes from yesterday were still there waiting for the next poor customer. My party was ruined and I’m not getting a refund but I hope at least this review helps the next person.

Do not order cupcakes from Hopscotch Bakery. My cupcakes for a birthday party were burned (see photo). They had too much salt which was located/pooled at the bottom of the cupcakes. The cupcakes should have tasted much better given their appearance. They were pleasing to the eyes; however, not to the taste & it was disappointing. In other words, they tasted nasty! The cake itself was dense; similar to corn muffins, & were not light & fluffy like cake. The cake tasted like corn muffins & most of the kids at our party would not eat them - at all. Comments such as, "I don't like these," was common & I agree. If I made cupcakes this way at home, I would have thrown them all away & started over. The frosting was thick & there was far too much of it on such a small cake. The cost was roughly $3.00 per cupcake & most of them were waisted. Customer service is problematic as well to me. They do not answer the phone & only want customers to text them for bakery questions. They give short answers via text & send mostly automated responses. They just are not very helpful with your order. No options to tailor your order to your personal specifications which frustrated me. No allergy options. In person, they were just as impersonal. I do not recommend this bakery. I really like shopping & purchasing orders from local companies, but I will not order again with this bakery.

Nasty! Don't order your cupcakes from Hopscotch. Disappointed and the taste was awful. Tasted dense, think, and like corn muffins. No one liked them. I had a table full of kids who would not eat them. $75 dollars for 2p kids down the drain. There are plenty of other bakeries in the area to choose from in C-U.

I’m surprised by the ratings honestly. Based on my experience this bakery is 5star. The coffee is delicious, even the decaf espresso! I had the Spinach, Feta +Za'atar Scroll and it was pretty amazing. The pastry dough flavor and texture really shines with these flavors. And they always have vegan and GF options. I’ll definitely come back.

Hopscotch is THE cutest bakery in the Champaign area! Their interior is always beautifully decorated and the speciality items are made to align with the season. The workers are always so kind and helpful with your every need. For food, I absolutely love their soft cinnamon rolls and flaky croissants which are 100% worth coming back for. On Valentine's Day, my boyfriend and I got to try the matcha panna cotta which was just melt in your mouth amazing! However, I would not recommend ordering from their all-day food menu, since they excel the most in their pastries and baked goods. They also offer options for custom made cakes which is something worth noting. As for drinks, I've tried their matcha horchata latte over the summer which tasted a bit water down, but they do have better and stronger coffee selections. A note to the wise-- there is very limited indoor seating and parking lot spaces, but options for street parking in the neighborhood. I would love to see this place expand to cater to the large audience it attracts since it has so much potential. Although Hopscotch is not necessarily the best for studying or sitting down to eat a full-on brunch, it's ideal for stopping by to pick up a delicious pastry every now and again!

Such an adorable spot! Wonderful baked goods and lovely coffees. This is a favorite spot to visit. My sister and I will stop and sit in the sunny dining area and enjoy baked treats or sometimes breakfast. I think this would be a wonderful place to arrange a meet up with a new friend, too.

Very cute small bakery vibes with limited seating, especially around brunch time on the weekend! I got the ham and havarti croissant (toasted). The flavor was good but the croissant was a little bit too too oily. I'd like to return to try the other very aesthetic items but the croissant was honestly just okay. Small parking lot so I did neighborhood street parking!
