The Bread Company - Bistro in Urbana - 706 S Goodwin Ave, USA

Great atmosphere but the food we had was not good. The classic fondue has bland bread and the cheese was gross. Also had the hummus platter. It was a homemade fire roasted pepper hummus that was mediocre and had nearly whole chunks of chickpeas still in it. The platter included canned artichokes, canned red peppers, tomatoes, and bread slices that were just ok. Not sure how to do hummus with those veggies. Maybe some of their other foods are good but based on those appetizers we decided to not get anything else and left.

By far the most pleasant place to eat in the C-U! The food is consistent and amazing, and the atmosphere is so warm. I feel like time passes differently in here! I recommend all three of the menus, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Bread Co remains my favorite local spot, and I recommend it to everyone visiting and local alike!

This is a HIDDEN GEM. It seriously is. 💎 The building its in may seem unassuming. But don’t let that scare you away! This has byfar the BEST sandwiches in all of the Champaign-Urbana area! And the best part of it is that it’s WALKING DISTANCE from the campus (it’s 2 blocks from the main quad). I highly recommend the #19 - the Chicken sandwich (it’s a warm sandwich). The bread and aoili hugging the chicken is absolutely delicious and mouthwatering. It also fills you up, despite it not being that big of a sandwich. Service has been immaculate everytime, as is the atmosphere inside and out (there is outdoor seating in the spring and summer). I will be back of course! ❤️🥪

Delicious food and cool atmosphere. Workers were friendly. Lunch is for the sandwiches and dinner for the pizzas and pastas. Would highly recommend going at any time!

The second this sandwich hit my table it was so aromatic. I was amazed by how good it was! Best spot on campus for lunch hands down. I appreciate all the vegetarian options too! Service was also super friendly and quick despite the lunchtime rush.

Great service, amazing food. Ordered a Cheese Steak Sandwich with the Rosemary Potato beef soup. Absolutely recommend. Nice hardy meal. The only off thing is that the floors and tables are a little sticky. Other than that amazing service amazing food! Definitely recommend!

Great food, great service, and great hospitality. The restaurant has a very laid-back atmosphere and is easily my go-to spot whenever I'm on the Urbana side of campus. Prices are justified for the quality of the food and atmosphere. Plenty of options for pretty much everyone, including vegetarians + vegans. Edit, 11/27/2023: came here for lunch today, and the line was so long that it was out the door. As a side product, however, patrons kept holding the door open, letting the 30° F air from outside continuously spill into the restaurant, making for a somewhat uncomfortable experience. Not going to change my rating cause it's not the restaurant's fault, but could they possibly tell people to stop holding the door open?

Was in town on business and stopped here. It was a really funky and cute place to eat and the food was really good. Had the 18 combo. The beef was delicious. The mustard and cheese really punched it up. The salad was very well dressed and really good. I ate all but 3 bites because I was just too full.
