In a bustling part of the University’s Urbana campus sits The Bread Company, frequented by professors, students and Champaign-Urbana residents. There, you can find warm, top-rated sandwiches, often served with soup or salad on the side.
The Bread Company has 10 selections of cold sandwiches, offering a range of options like Egg Salad, Salami and Roast Beef. It also has 10 warm sandwiches, like the Hawaiian, Cheesesteak and Portobello.
If you’re in the mood for breakfast, it’s got that covered, too, offering breakfast sandwiches with egg, dijonnaise and cheese, served on toasted bread and an addition of assorted proteins.
The bread used in its sandwiches is freshly made Monday through Friday, with seven total options: zopf, French, Swiss, rye, baguette, bâtard and whole wheat. It uses freshly made products from the C-U area, like coffee beans from the local Columbia Street Roastery.
The Bread Company is a local and family-owned business, and its prime location near the Main Quad offers accessible dining and a healthy option for campus patrons who are looking to avoid chain restaurants.
