My only complaint would be that I like to drink my coffee out of a mug - not paper cups. I know how that sounds - nice and pretentious! I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was jam packed with avocado, egg, bacon, and hash browns (but I couldn't taste them- maybe add more of a crisp and seasoning for these to shine more). Overall - a solid, quick bite at reasonable prices. The burrito was $6-7 (insert middle school laughter) and filling.

So how did a Seattle or Portland quality coffee shop end up in Crystal Lake? I don't know and I don't care. This place is the real deal. Good product, good baristas, some innovative twists (think ube white chocolate mocha as one of the current specials), this place would perform well up and down the I-5 corridor. They are LGBTQ+ friendly. That's not necessarily common in this area, so kudos to them. Again, a good fit along much of the I-5 corridor. But, of course, I can't take them back home. At least I have a quality coffee stop nearby when visiting family here. Thanks, sis, for introducing me to this place.

Their chai is seriously good. To some extent I wish they were closer so I could have a taste a bit more often--but I'm not driving up to Palatine (which is the closest location). But... they're kind of expensive so maybe I wouldn't visit that often anyway. Or the large is, anyway--it was $9 for a large chai. And it was a weird price jump, because the price of a small to medium is a 65 cent increase, and from medium to large is almost $1.50... that seems very odd. Anyway, while the chai was great, I'll probably try somewhere else to save a bit of money next time.

More dessert options, more coffee options, and a great place to sit and enjoy. I love the decor here. The soft Latin music was just the right speed to relax to and enjoy dessert and conversation. The staff is also as friendly as ever, patient and warm as we took some time to decide. This time, we shared a Fruity Churro, which was just the right portion for an after meal treat. And at $6 it's good on the wallet too. We will definitely continue to support this local business and you should too!

I went back because I really wanted to try their Korean Fried chicken wings. 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.

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!

When they first opened, they were super generous and upbeat when building your bowl. I think over time it became too much with people asking to add more and more, because she didn't really encourage and kept a stoic look. So I didn't press. The bowls priced here are comparable to other local places... $14-$16. They have burritos and those are $15+. The appetizers are like $7+, so it's a little more expensive than fast food, but I would argue that it's much healthier and worth the added cost. They also have a punch card, so buy 10 bowls and get the 11th free. This time, my wife and I both got a spicy salmon bowl and it was great as usual. We will be back.
