It is one of the best lunch deals on campus and it's hard to beat the location. My favorite is the patty melt on rye, which is served with fries and a pickle. You can get pretty much any topping on it and Chef Aaron will cook it up special just for you. He loves making whatever you want to eat and always mixes in daily specials that are definitely worth checking out!

I have been now going to Cafe Sababa for over a year. I get the Tuna Melt on Rye with a bunch of toppings. The environment is super friendly and Aaron is an amazing chef which always interacts with his customers. This place is family friendly and I know where I will be eating tomorrow for lunch! One of the best places to get lunch in champaign.

The vegetarian food here is excellent. I visited on a Friday, and the service was exceptionally friendly. The prices were reasonable considering the quality of the meals.
