For a Champaign coffee stop or a planned pastry pickup, Hopscotch Bakery + Market is at 802 West John Street. The business lists Tuesday–Sunday hours of 7:30 a.m.–4 p.m., checked October 7, 2026.

A City of Champaign announcement from July 2017 records its public opening that July 19 at the John Street address. The city described a special use permit for the bakery in a residential district. This guide uses current shop information for hours and ordering, rather than the older announcement.

Start with today's offerings

The official shop page describes in-house baking, lunch and espresso. Pastries change daily; listed items may not all be available.

For an ordinary coffee break, keep the plan flexible. For a specific pastry or a group order, confirm availability before arranging everyone's morning around it. A photograph of a previous display is not a current inventory list.

Think about the purpose of the visit first. A quick drink, a lunch stop and a box for coworkers call for different decisions about timing, quantities and transport. Set a spending limit before choosing extras at the counter.

Use the official ordering route

The shop links to its online ordering storefront. Use that route for the current choices and the details shown during checkout, rather than relying on an old menu screenshot shared elsewhere.

Before paying, check the pickup date, pickup time, quantity and final total. Read any item-specific notes and confirm that the address matches the John Street shop. If the checkout does not answer a question, contact the business before placing the order.

For a shared pastry box, ask your group about dietary requirements before selecting items. Do not infer ingredients or allergy suitability from a name or picture. A choice described as suitable for one diet does not, by itself, establish how it is handled around other ingredients.

For a celebration cake, the bakery says it does not take orders more than six weeks ahead. Its shop page points customers to pickup options and requests an email for specific questions. Treat the current ordering information as the basis for arrangements.

Write down the date, number of people and any requirements before asking about an event order. Confirm what the business has actually agreed to provide, then keep the receipt and pickup instructions together.

Plan the trip and the return

Save 802 West John Street on a map and choose a travel plan that leaves room for the pickup window. For a time-sensitive order, include the return trip in your schedule, not just the trip to the counter.

Bus riders can use MTD's official travel tools to find stops near the address and check the trip. MTD provides routes, a trip planner and reroute information; use current service information rather than assuming the bakery's older stop link still describes your best route.

Check the return journey as well, especially if you will be carrying several boxes. Choose packaging and a carrying arrangement that keeps food steady, and ask the bakery about storage instructions for the items you buy.

If someone else will collect the order, share the confirmation and any name or reference needed for pickup. Agree on who is responsible for collecting it before the event day, rather than leaving that task uncertain.

A separate option above the shop

Hopscotch's Baker's Loft page also lists furnished apartments directly above the bakery, with separate booking links. That is a lodging option, not part of an ordinary café purchase.

Anyone considering a stay should read the accommodation listing for the actual dates, total charges and terms. Do not assume that food, early pickup or other bakery services are included simply because the lodging is above the shop.

Make the final check before you go

For a casual stop, check the opening day and stay flexible about the display. For a planned order, confirm the details before payment and keep the pickup instructions. Those two approaches help match a neighborhood visit to what you actually need.

Use the shop page for background, the ordering storefront for purchasable options, and direct contact for questions the listings leave open. This guide does not offer a firsthand tasting assessment. Confirming one essential detail beforehand can prevent a wasted trip.
