“ A great spot in the suburbs for some coffee and pastries. Came here for w a quick breakfast. We ordered the cool mint cold brew and the cranberry refresher. Both were quite delicious. Don’t skip out on the cinnamon rolls! They’re from a nearby bakery called Rosie’s Bakery if you want to try more of those baked goods. Overall a cozy coffee shop w good eats and coffee. Will be back again! It’s great to find a coffee spot that isn’t just Starbucks. ”
“ I love that there’s a super cute place with good drinks in Crystal Lake, where I can go and sit when I need to study or work. I’ve take my sister here several times and she doesn’t tend to like the drinks with moon milk, whereas I think they’re good. I think you have to get used to the taste of it. Otherwise, love this place! Everyone there is super friendly too. :) ”
