Breakfast Rec's in C-U?

[altgeld88]

Hi all... we'll be on campus for one night next week before heading to the IU game. We're looking for breakfast recommendations in town. I've been on campus twice in the past three years. Courier Cafe in Urbana is my go-to from back in the day but I'd like to try something else. For example, when I was at Courier last month my daughter noticed Bunny's Tavern around the corner, which apparently serves breakfast.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

Can’t go wrong with Merry Ann’s Diner on the corner of S. Neil and Florida, across from GameDay (unless you want alcohol with your breakfast).

I originally thought you meant that there's a second Merry Ann's location. Then I got it. Yes: I'm slow.

There used to be three back in my last days living in CU (2011). One in Urbana by campus, one in downtown Champaign, and the original on Neal.

So how was the food?

Original Pancake House on West Springfield.

Original is my favorite breakfast place of all time. Eggs cooked right, thick cut bacon. and the best pancakes I've ever had. Weekends can get quite busy but their staff is very efficient.

Another place we enjoy is Le Peep on South Neil. There are also a few tables outside if you like to dine al fresco and the weather is cooperative.
