I don't think I've ever been disappointed by any drink on the menu and more often than not, am pleasantly surprised with any new flavor combinations I try. I also love their consistently friendly and quick-ish service, with a much more personalized experience than going to a much busier coffee shop.

Great drink options and decent snacks too but I haven't landed on something I really like just yet…read more First time I stopped in I got the Golden Hour Breve and it was pretty good but still a little bit too much on the sweet side for me. On my second trip I brought my nieces along who were super excited because they had seen some of the drinks on TikTok. One got a golden hour breve which she really enjoyed except that she went against my advice and asked for extra drizzle and vanilla bean cold foam so the bottom of the drink was just like concentrated sweetness. The other one got an iced milk tea with the brown sugar boba and vanilla bean cold foam and was "in heaven" with how good the drink was according to her. I got the seasonal horchata latte for myself and it was a decent take on the drink and worth trying but I think I preferred the golden hour breve. My nieces also tried the chocolate chip cookie and cinnamon sugar donut bites with caramel sauce. They liked the cookies but thought they'd be more warm/fresh out of the oven. They loved the donut bites with that tasty caramel sauce though. I think I might give the pretzel bites option a try next time I stop in. The shop has a really clean look and feel. It's pretty hands off with kiosk ordering and digital menus but when the staff did interact with customers they were friendly. Unless you're going to be downing your drink quickly I would suggest ordering extra ice when it's warmer out. Both times I ordered I noticed my ice was gone pretty quickly. I know it's a normal thing that happens when you have hot coffee or boba syrup mixing with iced elements but just thought I'd mention it to give a heads up to others.

Beyond the basic beverages at this Oswego cafe. Candy Cloud is a colorful place to hang out or get…read moresomething to go. It has plenty to sip on including coffee and lemonade. Also a few things to eat. The prices are too high but great stuff. A lot of menu items available. It's got a couple of order screens where customers place their own orders. There's a crap ton to choose from so the line can be a long wait. Beverages are the main things to get. It's about $5 to get most of the coffees, which are cold or hot. We saw a lot of interesting ones. I got the Matcha Latte. Pretty typical but there was the right amount of sweetness. Has some food. Mostly basic stuff. It's about $2 to get a hash brown. Yes that is not even a couple of hash browns, but they taste pretty good though. It's about $5 to get a few pretzel bites. The beverages are obviously better than the food in terms of price and quality. For sure it's got lots to choose from. It's in front of the one strip mall with Target and some other stores. There's a pretty limited amount of space and only a few tables.

We stopped my this place on a Saturday morning to get coffee. I want to start off by saying that…read morethe caffeine content in the coffee here is not super high, so if someone is looking for coffee to wake them up, this is not the place. This is more of a desert coffee place. I got the Sand dune coffee since it was so highly recommended. I think it was too sweet for my liking. My husband got the pistachio latte and this one was the BEST pistachio latte I have had in a long time. I asked them what sauce they use and was told that they don't disclose the source of their ingredients. The place was pretty and cute, lots of seating options. The host let me sample some of their Adani Chai which was delicious! The drinks are pricey though! Two coffee drinks shouldn't cost like a meal but oh well. I may come back again for the pistachio latte.

I could go to Summer Moon every single day and not get tired of it! I live a good distance from…read moreSummer Moon and have been there four times in the past month. First of all, I am obsessed with the space itself. The sleek navy blue and white hexagonal tiles, exposed brick wall, and gold decor touches give the coffee shop a modern industrial chic vibe. There is ample seating, with tables for two, larger groups, as well as plush lounge chairs. The staff at the counter are very friendly and informative. The first time I visited, I did not understand the moon concept. They kindly explained that Moon Milk is their blend of an ultra-creamy sweet cream mixture used in place of typical dairy options in their drinks. There is a poster by the menu that explains the ratio of Moon Milk to expresso in each drink. The staff was very patient each time I went with someone new, to explain this. Alright, time for the drinks and food. The cold brew is bold and smooth in flavor. My parents have had the Mocha Moon Latte and said it is absolutely delicious. My boyfriend, his uncle and I all ordered the iced S'mores latte another time and loved it. The ham and cheese croissant was a yummy savory option if you are looking to grab a bite to eat. Summer Moon Coffee is a wonderful additional to Wheaton! It is the perfect spot to catch up and hang out with friends or get some work done.

Shop was super busy on a rainy Saturday morning. They had both tables and comfy seats. My husband spotted some spots so I went in line to place our order. I got a cold brew and it was awesome. Very smooth and flavorful. The shop was pretty noisy so if you are looking to do some work or study, this may not be the spot for you. They also offer a drive through if that is your preferred way of getting coffee.

It was so delicious that I followed it with a cardamom latte, which was also very nice. However, every nut lover really owes it to themselves to try the pistachio latte, IMHO. Service was very friendly and advised me well on DF ordering. I loved that this coffee shop had board games at the front, like they're really trying to welcome guests and not just churn people out ASAP. They have a lot of seats and even though it was popular, we never felt rushed and more tables were available. Loved the lighting...& the bathrooms smell AMAZING!! Even if you don't need to visit them, stop in for a whiff.

3.5 but rounding up. I have mixed feelings about this place. I want to love it, and I kind of do,…read morebut not enough to give it a solid 4. A friend and I stopped in during a weekday AM. Place was packed and seems to be a spot where most take their work laptop and huddle up here. They even have a closed conference room which can be reserved. The place is beautiful with a lot of natural light. Floor to ceiling windows really does it for me. Service throughout was a tad slow but they were busy, no problem. The iced coffee selection from here is limited. They basically only have 2 iced coffee options. The other iced drinks are matchas or a matcha + fruit combo. I tried the iced saffron latte and thought it was pretty good. The presentation was great and flavors were different from what I'm used to. I'm glad I tried it. I also got the bee bites pastry which I thought was on the slimmer side for the price. Flavor wise it was delicious and I liked how warm and perfectly toasty it was.
