I have mixed feelings. I used to enjoy a smoothie from OR but I agree with the reviews about the…read morepoor service times and staff being TOO "chill." Most visits take far too long, especially if there is more than one customer. The employees act as though they believe that the customers have unlimited time so they will chit chat or lallygag. This is a service based business so there needs to be a balance between "friendliness" and timeliness. I realize it's not a fast food joint but no one wants to wait 10-15 minutes for a smoothie or to simply pay for stocked items. This is the reason I don't shop here frequently anymore.

I'm usually the last person to complain about service but it's legitimately bizarre here. Last time…read morewe went in it wasn't even clear who was working, people in street clothes kept going behind the counter to make themselves drinks and despite confirming we were waiting, nobody would take our order, the only actual customers in the store, for about 10 minutes, then the one thing that needed to be made took another 10 minutes while we watched them mostly just talk and make their own drinks. It feels like they're recording a sitcom about friends who work at a cute little shop and you're intruding.

My daughter has been seeing all these influencers eating their açaí bowls and she had to try one…read more I didn't even know what one was, let alone that Blend existed. We came in and were greeted with warm smiles. There were so many options it was overwhelming to decide. The person working was polite and told us to take our time. If we didn't have somewhere to be, we would have loved to ask questions. We had to decide quickly, so my daughter picked the açaí bowl with bananas and strawberries. It was on the pricey side, I think around $8-9, but we figured it was worth it for the health benefits. The portion size made the cost seem more reasonable too! From order to delivery was less than 5 minutes and we were able to leave on time for our other commitment. Unfortunately, the açaí had a very unique flavor, and one my daughter was not a big fan of. I tried it and felt the same. She described it as tasting like chemicals, but I thought it must have been the natural after taste of the açaí berry. She ate the fresh fruit and add ins and begrudgingly scooped a little of the açaí in the process. I tried to eat what was left, but eventually had to let it go. All this said, we understand that açaí is probably just not our thing and based in the many options, we'll come back to try a smoothie or another healthy treat. So I highly recommend you check it out and perhaps ask for a sample to see if it is something you like. I don't know if that's an option here, but it seems like a place that would honor that.

The inside is so charming and cozy and right next to the shop is a cute outdoor seating area. All of Lincoln House's syrups are made in house and it shows. I ordered a Lavender Honey Iced Coffee and added a splash of creamer. The flavors were bright and perfectly floral. They serve Heady Cup Coffee beans which is a local roaster out of McHenry. My husband got a Hot Chai Latte and it was truly the perfect mix of sweet and spiced chai. Lastly, the value in their pricing for quality of drink is very impressive! Both of our drinks were just under $10 which feels very value driven. I would highly recommend stopping out for a morning coffee or trying out one of their evening cocktails!

Only reason why I'm giving a 2-star rating, is because I thoroughly enjoy the smoothies, otherwise…read moreI would've given a 1 star or less, based mainly on the service I just experienced! I had placed an order for a pickup time at 8:50am, but I happened to get there 15 minutes early, based on past experience, I had thought that my order would've been completed. Unfortunately, such wasn't the case. The associate who is working this morning informed me that my order wasn't in their system, despite my receiving of a confirmation email. The associate then told me that I would have to come back & mentioned something about 10am. Why in the world would I go home just to return 2 1/2 hours later just for a smoothie?! I wound up cancelling my order, because I wasn't going to deal with the drama or the continued letdown from the associate working. I will return to have my smoothies, but I'm not going to order through the app if the orders aren't going to go through the system & the associate give me horrible customer experience.

At only 90 calories, it is a refreshing treat and not too sweet either. I have also tried the Pure Green juice, and I didn't like the taste as much, but it is packed with rich nutrients from kale, spinach, lemon, and more. My husband liked the juice that had cayenne pepper in it, but I am not a fan of spicy juices. Thankfully, I had a coupon, so I paid just over $32 for five bottles and received a cute reusable bag. The juices are a little pricey, and hopefully, the plastic bottles can be recycled easily, but I am sure I will be back to try other flavors. Most of the bottles ranged from 90 to 200 calories each. The staff was super busy but still very friendly and took time to answer customer questions.

If you've read my…read moreprevious review and then you know that I applaud Cloud Tea for providing different ethic cuisine (especially korean) here in the LITH, Algonquin, and CL area. I had no lunch plans and I knew exactly what I wanted for lunch. I arrive and the girl at the counter was having a bad day and I could tell. She avoided all any eye contact with me, she did not want to engage in any small talk and she was there to receive a pay check and that was that. Ok fine, I get it we all have bad days, just get me my food then. I ask her "how spicy is the spicy check wings?" So goes, "they are alright spicy." WTF, I'm giving a puzzling look and I'm not sure how to respond to that statement but whatever, I get it your cat died, your bf just broke up with you, your car insurance just went up 5%, sure I get it. I place an order for the spicy chicken wings and I wait. I take in the ambiance and it's a great place to chill and grab some bubble tea and lunch. I wait about ten mins and my wings are ready! When I walked up to get my wings I noticed there was some mochinut and I had to get some! I get three flavors, strawberry, taro, and green tea and then I head home to sample the food with my family. First up were the wings, they were scary looking but in a spicy kind of way. Was my stomach and whatever after comes after ready for these wings? I sure hope so! So I went in for my first bite and I was pleasantly surprised. The wings were super good! The flavoring and everything was fire, flame, hit the spot good. And the spice level was 'alright' (see what I did there?), it had a kick but nothing that my kids couldn't handle. My wife enjoyed the wings as well and she said they were good. I'm glad I stopped by and got the fried chicken wings to try because they were amazingly delicious and I'll be back for more. I finished off my lunch and tried some mochinut and they were good as well and you don't have any complaints from me on the food. The service on the other hand, get a new girl who wants to come to work and put on a smile. Like I said I understand we all have bad days but for me to write it in my review it must have been really bad. Great job on the food Cloud Tea. Happy to have you guys in the area and keep up the good food. You've earned your 4 start review.
