Love this place! Such a cool atmosphere with plenty of space and seating. The food was excellent with large portions. I had the veggie omelet which was stuffed with fresh vegetables. Delicious! We will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

Encounter Café is literally the love of my life. I am about to graduate from U of I, so I figured now is the time to write this review finally. There is nothing here I would not give five stars. The food: outstanding. Literally everything on the menu.

The food here is beyond delicious. The service is top notch, everyone is so warm and friendly. Some favorites are the pancakes (best ever by far), baked oatmeal with yogurt and berries, and the breakfast sandwiches. Outstanding coffee drinks. This place is fantastic.

Very friendly, spacious, clean and fresh. The food was presented in an exquisite manner & tasted delightful! I visited with my teenagers (boy & girl) who thought the place “looked fancy.” The orange juice is freshly squeezed and made my taste buds dance. This is a must visit establishment! Priced just right – in fact they should be charging more. We will be back again!

This place has expanded and now boasts a bakery. Stopped here for a quick bite. Ordered a breakfast sandwich. First time that I had a breakfast sandwich. The egg, sausage patty, and cheese on a croissant. The place was quite busy so I went to the bakery and ordered a cinnamon roll while I waited for my sandwich. Cinnamon roll was very good. My sandwich came and it reminded me of the type I have gotten at Casey’s. Just a convenience store quality sandwich. Nothing special. For the price I was expecting better. Very thin piece of sausage. Probably the frozen kind. Hardly tasted it.

Excellent service. The espresso scone was one of the best scones we’ve had at a restaurant. You can tell it’s made fresh daily. Our omelet was very good. My wife said her Chai tea latte was one of the best she’s ever had. I’d highly recommend!

Had the pancakes which were an unexpected surprise! It’s a large single pancake that’s fluffy on the inside with baked in blueberries, and just a hint of crisp on the edges. Delicious.
