Solid coffee shop…read more Breakfast sandwich (sausage), Cortada, black coffee is my go-to. My wife gets the: royal milk tea and or matcha green tea with lavender cold foam. We enjoy the drinks and coffee without a doubt! Service is great and exceptionally fast. I have had some weird service experiences in the past but usually they get corrected quickly. My wife has also and I won't go into that. The place is pretty well kept.

I ordered myself 2 drinks because I just couldn't decide. I ordered the midnight moon lemonade, and…read morethe café au lait. The midnight moon lemonade lasted oks absolutely beautiful. The coffee is my favorite basic coffee drink. Definitely a win in both choices. The staff greeted us upon arrival didn't take long to take an order and promptly started making our drink drinks My husband ordered a the peanut butter mocha hot and he didn't even share so it must have been good!

Came in today, first time in a long time…read more I got the cortada and a pour over black coffee. I absolutely loved my drinks. I also got the king salmon I believe and that was solid. Place was huge and many seats open again being there at 9am. Majority of the plugs are on one side of the wall but honestly wasn't really looking for one just noticed it. Folks are nice and seems like they were quite happy doing what they do! I highly recommend if you're in the area.

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.

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.

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!
