I loved the sandwiches but they can be a bit too much cheesy sometimes

Omg !!!! Went to lunch here for my birthday and everything I had was superb! The pear salad was amazing!

Good place to bring speaker and such for lunch. Sandwiches, soups, and some good drinks. Decent beer selection. I like the eclectic seating arrangements.

Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food, incredible people.

i really loved this place. next time i'll be back with my friends.

Amazing sandwiches, super affordable considering it's all home made bread and the quality of the ingredients.

We travel from B/N to buy the delicious bread and pastries!!! We've also had lunch a couple of times, which is always a treat!!
The staff are most friendly and always ready to make one's visit enjoyable!!!!
The Bread Company ~You Guys are the absolute BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My absolute favorite place on campus. Great breakfast to-go deal w sandwich and coffee. Amazing ambiance and food for dinner, perfect for a date! Highly recommend the fried goat cheese w wild honey and strawberries

Their food options and the quality of their food is outstanding, but I had one of the most disappointing experiences tonight from the wildly incompetent service. Asked the waitress if our order was correct 3 times. She said yes each time. Yet when our check came when we decided to leave, she clearly had placed the wrong order, leaving everyone hungry, feeling cheated, and upset.

I arrived with a group of 5 at around 5:30pm, excited for their fondue after having heard many great things. We asked for an order of the classic cheese fondue for 5, which is $58. The waitress brought out the pot with a relatively small amount of fondue for the size of our group. For reference, a smaller piece of bread that was brought out with the fondue was only covered by half when fully placed in. I asked her if she could check and make sure our order was correct. She insisted it was and that it should be more than enough for four... even though we're a group of 5... Ok... As expected, we'd finished all of the fondue quickly since there was so little of it (and it was admittedly delicious). We asked her if we had to pay the full $58 for a second pot of fondue and she said yes. I again asked her if the amount of fondue was correct. She again insisted yes, and added that they overestimate for the serving size and it should've filled 6 people... yet all 5 of us were still hungry... After our group debated whether or not to buy a second pot or to leave, we gave her a third chance by asking her again if she could please check and ensure the amount we got was correct for $58. She again said yes. Since we were feeling ripped off, we asked for our checks. On our checks, she had very clearly put in an order of Classic Cheese Fondue for 3. FOR 3 PEOPLE. At least it was only about $38 total for the entire group. I generally don't even bother writing negative reviews, but wow, what a trip this was.

I'm not asking for this waitress to be fired, but talk some sense into her or at least teach her to count to 5. We'd clearly stated many times that we were a group of 5 and that we were willing and expecting to pay at least $58. Yet our checks/the order she put into the kitchen clearly said for 3 which totaled to be about $38 for the fondue. I would've only given a single star, but the food was absolutely delicious so it gets a second.

Speed of serving the food: -5 stars

Y'all already know this place is BOMB. The staff is so friendly and in house wine is great. Brunch on Sundays is sooo good. The lunch option is real decent. The French onion soup served at dinner time is to DIE FOR. literally the food here is so good. They also have a bakery (not opened Sundays) and the Swiss bread and baguettes are perfect.

This is a cozy, classic location for both healthy and comfort food choices. The lunch burger is outstanding. The salads are great as well.

Love this place at all times of day. Breakfast sandwiches are great, as well as quiches. Lunch sandwiches are creative and delicious, and dinner atmosphere is always warm and the food is amazing (getting a fondue to split is a classic). You can't beat their Sunday brunch crepes, omelettes, or quiche.

The food was delicious, and the waitress was the best. I will go back!

Super tasty. Looking forward to returning with my coworkers. This place has a nice design.

This is my favorite place to eat in Champaign! I've been here for lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch and each have been above and beyond fantastic. The food here is always fresh and delicious. You can never go wrong with the Bread Co!

Great food! The bread is amazing, and the service is pretty fast. At lunch you pay at the counter for food, but for dinner they do sit-down service. Honestly if they were just a dollar or two cheaper, I would be here all the time.

I love this place. We visit every time we are in town. Great appetizers, salads, and entrees. Decent wine options.

Not a huge menu. Reasonable prices. Able to eat whole pizza without sharing if you're into that. Good coffee. Nice sit down place.

Very accommodating service and a very quiet, relaxing atmosphere. The service was quick, and their pasta and pizza options were fantastic. Be prepared to pay a little more for it however!

The pasta and bread was just okay, and pretty overpriced. The atmosphere was pretty cool but our table was too big and awkward for two people.

Excellent service! Their lunch menu is awesome and their dinner menu is always amazing.

We come here for brunch every Sunday. The food is amazing and the staff is beyond friendly and accommodating. I don't know why I haven't reviewed them before, but I just had the potato pancake special with two sunnyside-up eggs and bernaise sauce and found myself asking for toast to soak up the bernaise and egg, then asking for more bernaise to dip the remaining toast in, and finally drinking the remaining bernaise when I ran out of toast...so I had to write a review.

Great place for lunch and dinner! Staff is AMAZING - really friendly and knowledgable. Food is delicious; I adore anything they do with brie and goat cheese! Great atmosphere as well!

A hidden gem in Urbana, within walking distance from the UIUC campus. Daily lunches. Freshly made to order hot and cold sandwiches and salads. Serves a half and half a la Panera bread style. Several different aioli. The brie burger is fantastic. Prices are moderate but not cheap. Deceptively large with a two floor space in the back. A must visit.

Wasn't that impressed with the breakfast sandwiches or the prices.

My expectation was too high. Tasted nothing but black pepper..

Possibly the friendliest staff I have ever encountered. I came during the day and could not find any parking. I figured my motorcycle wouldn't take up too much space so I left it in the loading zone and ran inside to grab a sandwich. They saw my predicament and offered to bring my food out to me so I could wait on my bike and avoid a parking violation from the very aggressive U of I parking police. The sandwich was great as well and came with a tasty side salad. I highly encourage everyone to try this place out.

Sure, you could get Jimmy Johns. You could thoughtlessly give in to your basest, most vile instincts. You could continue down the dank, shadowy path of self-defeat on which you have set yourself to walking, dark-eyed, alone and sad, these long years. Just go right on ahead and plaster your insides with cheap mess, if that's what you think you deserve.

I really like their lunch sandwiches, specially the hummus sandwich. Decently fast service for the lunch sandwiches at least. Have heard good things about their dinner too.

Easily the best restaurant in Champaign Urbana great good and good prices

The atmosphere is both somehow hip and homey. I find the food comforting, and I've not ordered anything yet that I've not liked. The staff is as warm as the cozy gas fireplace in the corner, and as a bonus you can have a beer with lunch if you're so inclined. The two factors that keep this Urbana gem of a restaurant from getting the 5th star are the scary seating in the back room, and the price. If the prices were slightly lower a 5th star would be forthcoming.

Pretty good food options, but gets super crowded and a little scant in servings

I love the food here, it's amazing. The fondu is a must. Make sure to go with a few friends because many of their dinner portions are for sharing!

This is my absolute favorite place in Champaign-Urbana. A total hidden gem. I highly recommend their fondue!

Just awesome, go there. Best breakfast sandwiches. Good lunches and burgers. Great dinner.

Awesome sandwiches. The have other tasty stuff too.

One of my favorite local places for brunch, lunch, & dinner!! Consistently delicious!

The bread comany carries well it's name, the bread there is fantastic.
It has a European inspired menu, with the popular swiss fondue that I highly recommend! There lunch combos with salad/soup and half sandwich are reasonably prices and tasty. It is a great experience in aquaint and comfortable ambiance.

Very cozy restaurant on Campus. Sandwiches are delicious. Don't miss n. 14 with mushroooms. Pizzas are ok.

Favorite restaurant on campus! I love the pear sandwich. The service is always great and its a very comfortable environment.

Besides the food poisoning review I don't really understand the critical reviews here. My experience has been with lunch and 2 things stand out to me. 1) These are some of the best tasting sandwiches I have ever had and it being coupled with a salad is awesome. 2). I had a house salad here that I can easily say was one of the best salads I've ever eaten. They could be charging much more in a city for the quality of food they provide. You get what you pay for.

The food is amazing. If recommend the roast beef sandwich. As a native new Yorker I know a good sandwich. This is good sammich. Served with a side salad too. I get full and don't feel gross after lol

Very cozy and right in the heart of the beautiful UIUC campus. We went as a group of five and ordered pastas, pizza, and a veggie platter. The server was extremely gracious and our food was ready in no time. We loved everything! Very tasty and healthy too. The taste of water was amazing as well.

We are definitely coming back!

A truly wonderful gem always good food and service We are here again New Years eve Leo our server wonderful Spectacular food as always

No. 14 and 16 are my favorite sandwiches (and they are vegetarian too!). Their Ethiopian coffee is also pretty great.

Place that is known for its Fondue and Deserts - The Bread Company!
We ordered the Classic Cheese Fondue - the dish contains White Wine as mentioned on the menu, but later got to know that it is cooked in White Wine as the taste of fondue was initially dominated by wine but it got better with time and more heat. It was served with fresh bread and potatoes which on their own tasted great. Overall enjoyed the Fondue experience. We also ordered the Capri Salad and Spinach Pesto Pasta - both the dishes tasted decent and the portions served were less for the price. Otherwise, the ambience of this place is really welcoming and romantic, overlooking a less busy street of Urbana. Looking forward to visit next time especially to try their entrees and desserts.

Very good, had the Asparagus Pasta and loved it. Service was very good as well. Cute kitsch of "eclectic" chairs being pretty much any old chair they could find lol.

Great space and warm friendly atmosphere. The working fireplace is a nice touch.

Great family owned highend ingredients. Ashley was an excellent waitress.

Wonderful food in a cozy atmosphere served by folks who love what they do.

I took my Special Lady here for a Romantic Date. We shared a large pot of Original Cheese Fondue. It was *awesome*. The ambiance was just right for the evening (we were able to get a table in a corner). The candle on the table just added a perfect touch. We had a wonderful time, and I would highly recommend this place. I am sure we will be back!

The place is really nice and cozy. We had a fondue, which we hadn't eaten in a long time. It was very good and not too expensive, although a little bit lacking in terms of the variety of food they give you to dip in the cheese. The waitress was a bit sloppy, but her recommendations in terms of what to order and the amounts were great.
I would have liked to try the raclette, but was set back a bit beacuse they don't serve it with meats, which I think usually come in a raclette.
We didn't buy any bread or pastries, but they looked delicious, much better than those you can usually get here. Will definitely come back for them.

I went on an event, but loved the location and friendliness of the people.

My first time here. The food here was great, but the man at the front counter was rude. First and I guess last experience here.

Love this place! Soups, sandwiches and salads are so good I might have lunch here every day.

Lovely cozy place with a friendly and knowledgeable staff that offer some of the best service I've had.

Delicious fresh baked bread. Delicious grilled sandwiches at lunch.

Great sandwiches and soups. Homemade bread, delicious!

Food and service was great, atmosphere very relaxing!

The food tastes okay. I ordered the breakfast to go and it took 20 minutes for me to get the sandwich. The prices are too high for such a place! Yes, it does look cozy but I could eat more food at a better looking restaurant such as Texas Roadhouse.

Good food. Varied menu. Vegan pizza! Eccletic decor

Some of the best food in town, served in a cozy atmosphere, with great service. I love coming here!

Super nice people. Quality food. Love going here for breakfast, lunch, and Sunday brunch!

Friendly service and their new brunch menu is awesome!

Good all around but the breakfast sandwiches are a must have!! Only wish they served them later in the day!

Try anything here and you will not be disappointed. Love the fondue options, pizzas are delish, salad is another good choice. Seriously just come, it will not disappoint.
