Delicious coffee, tea and lemonade drinks with free wi-fi and outdoor seating that's pet friendly. Drive thru or dine inside or outside in good weather. Locally owned franchise. Friendly staff. Very clean. Adore their Iced Cinnamon Latte. read more

The biggest highlight was definitely their signature wood-fired coffee, which gives the drinks a unique flavor and sets them apart from your typical coffee shop. The Moon Milk adds a sweet, creamy touch that pairs really well with the coffee, though it can be a little on the sweeter side depending on your preference. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a warm café feel that makes it a nice place to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done. The space has a comfortable, laid-back vibe that fits the brand well. The drinks were well made and consistent, and I appreciated that they offer something a little different from the usual coffee options. read more

It's an amazing coffee shop has a cozy environment. I liked it. I didn't really try much over there, but I like the ambience what I tried was signature medium roasted coffee with cream and sugar. It was good but something like this in Questo Lake. I definitely would go back to try it again with more options. They have the menu was pretty good and they had some bakery items and a lot of merch as well. read more

Not a bad coffee shop in Crystal Lake. They have pretty much a standard coffee menu, with a few extras that are more unique to their own company. I picked up one of their Strawberry Refreshers, which has green tea and some strawberry added. It was good and, yes, very refreshing. I appreciate that they have something more than just a chai latte or hot chocolate for non-coffee drinkers, especially now that the warmer months are upon us. There's a parking lot here, fairly large, though there are other businesses here as well. There's also a drive through, which was a little confusing to get to since you can't enter it from the parking lot in front of the place. read more

Summer Moon is a gem. The convenience of the drive thru is a major selling point. However, you should also make it a point it get inside to see the charming interior. Lots of seating, big windows that let in a ton of natural light, and a large menu selection including allergy friendly selections. I ordered and picked up my coffee quickly and was on my way. My iced coffee was everything I needed it to be. Smooth and strong. read more

I absolutely love Summer Moon coffee! The flavor of the coffee is something like I've never had. The coffee taste like it was cooked over a bonfire or something similar. I can't quite explain it, but I highly recommend it. I've even purchased some of their mugs because I love it so much. read more

This is a beautifully decorated local coffee shop in Crystal Lake that is located in a smaller plaza next to Menards and behind the Regal Cinema. I was so appreciative of the dairy free options and ability to still get their special moon lattes. We loved our drinks, which were also made quickly. In the morning on a weekend they had at least 8 staff working. The inside is so cozy, with nice sitting areas and tables and a small outdoor patio. Recommend supporting this local cafe! read more

Absolutely love their coffee and moon milk! Never disappointed! Your staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and I love the ambience of your place! read more

This is one of the best coffee shops in Chicagoland. For starters, the quality of drinks far exceeds the prices you pay. I'd take this over Starbucks, Peet's, or Blue Bottle any day. The shop is also super homey. I love their autumn decorations and merch! It's always been busy when I've visited, but I've never had to wait more than ten minutes for my drink. The baristas are nice. Even during peak hours, it usually isn't difficult to find a place to sit. This is an ideal study/remote work/hang out spot. Plenty of free parking. The Metra station is a ten-minute walk. read more

Stopped by Summer Moon's Crystal Lake location after hearing very positive reviews about the coffee. The inside is very nicely designed with tons of natural light, pattered tiles, warm woods, pops of green, and modern lights. There was quite a bit of seating based on the overall size of the shop. Also, one could order inside or they had a drive through! The menu offered a variety of hot/cold coffee drinks with many syrup flavors to add. They also had some tea and breakfast/bakery food options. The staff member recommended the Blue Moon to me when I said I was interested in lavender. This had portions of espresso, skim milk, and their known "moon milk" but also lavender flavoring. My partner got their spiced chai tea option and we shared a warm chocolate croissant. The chai was very tasty but still sweet for it being a spiced option. My Blue Moon Latte was good but the coffee had a slight burnt taste it; I did not pick up much of the lavender either. The croissant was flaky and fresh but could have had a bit more chocolate inside. Overall, this is a great coffee option when in the Crystal Lake area but would not be a destination to go out of my way to drive out to. read more

Papa may have found a new fav. Summer Moon Coffee's drip alone makes it stellar. Oak-roasted coffee sounds enticing but can sound a bit intimidating to some. Please know that the oak flavor is but a subtle, balanced note. These are premium beans friends. Their Velvet Blaze espresso is the nucleus to their creations and shines as a shot on it's own. If I'm not drinking coffee black, I absolutely love their Nitro Sweet Steamer. Get the Blue Moon Latte and thank me later. It has the perfect amount of sweetness from Moon Milk and a beautiful lavender fragrance. Moon Milk is magical. Not only do they serve Cortados here, they also have Moontados, which is their own, sweeter version of a Cortado. I love that Summer Moon serves fresh, locally-made pastries and other baked treats, that is awesome! You can ask questions, even in the drive thru, and someone will be more than happy to provide details to you. Service is always with an inviting smile. This is a great coffee place. read more

I love summer moon! They add moon milk to their coffee and it makes them so sweet and creamy. My favorite is matcha moon, blue moon(lavender), mocha moon. I add 3/4 of moon milk to my drinks because I love my drinks on the sweet side. Their food items are okay. read more

What a great spot! I happened to be leaving a meeting and had a 45 minute drive ahead of me so I was on the search for some coffee and am so glad I found Summer Moon!

Summer Moon Coffee - 1/2 Summer Moon Latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Crystal Lake, Illinois

What a cute coffee shop! We visited on our way to a local orchard and decided to get some seasonal beverages. I ended up trying an iced pumpkin chai. We had the ability to select how sweet we wanted it to be, I decided to get it at 50% and that was still a tad too much for me. I think next time I'm going to get it at 25% as the pumpkin did add quite a bit of sweetness too. We also ordered a scone, but unfortunately we never got it before we left (totally our mistake!) So next time we go, we definitely have to try it. All in all, if you're looking for a local coffee shop with great coffee and a variety of cute merch, you've found it! read more

I been to the Kenosha location and love it. When I heard they opened one in Crystal lake, I got excited. Not close to home but I happened to be in the area at the time and I got a chance to grab something. My favorite is the iced blue moon latte. Love the lavender flavor in coffee. It's been my go-to lately. I used the drive thru for this visit. It wasn't too busy at 730am so didn't have to wait that long. Will always come back to summer moon. Next time I plan to buy the k-pods to have at home. read more

Sunday wandering led to looking for coffee. We found Summer Moon Coffee which meant our wandering could then be described as happy wandering, We both got an Autumn Moon latte which was a perfect spiced drink for the day and season. An added nice touch was a small red maple leaf on the cup top. Hello Autumn! read more

The hubby and I stopped in here before a doctor's appointment nearby. He ordered a peppermint mocha and I ordered a hot tea. I had a sip of his coffee and thought it was pretty good (I love the smell of peppermint but I don't really like the taste of peppermint)... his coffee did not have that burnt taste that we often taste when we drink coffee from a different coffee place. My tea was HOT... which is perfect because I like my coffee/tea temperature to be around the same as hot lava. Such a cute little coffee shop and the service was great. Everyone working there had a smile on their face and they were super helpful when I was choosing my tea flavor. We will be back! read more

I always love trying new coffee shops and when I did a search while dog sitting for my aunt, this was the first place that popped up. Coming in, I dug the aesthetic and chill ambiance of the location. Since it's summer, I couldn't resist trying the Espresso Milkshake and it was absolutely delicious! If you're not into overly sweet drinks, this wouldn't be for you. The staff were all smiles and friendly. They accommodated my request for my glass tumbler to be used immediately for my drink! Also, I visited when they were training a new employee. I liked how they obviously cared about the quality of how the drinks were made. The interaction between the senior barista and newbie was very nice. Also, they gave away the drinks that were made for practice for free for those who wanted them and ofc, I couldn't resist, haha! Will definitely come back! read more

Tried out the new Summer Moon coffee shop in Crystal lake and let me tell you this is a great addition to the Crystal lake coffee scene. It's a friendly and welcoming coffee spot serving delicious coffees and baked goods. Love the interiors of this place, really chic. I love that they have a drive thru as well. I tried the iced mocha moon latte and the drip coffee. Both were excellent. I need to go back and try their coke brew. They also have cute personalized memorabilia for purchase and also roasted coffee. Check out this new coffee spot and enjoy delicious coffee, service, and vibe. read more

Just recently discovered Summer Moon. I initially discovered this at Kenosha and was excited that there was a location closer to home at Crystal Lake. The shop is smaller compared to the one in Kenosha but the service and atmosphere is exactly the same. The baristas were super helpful in understanding the different lattes. I got the blue moon latte with 3/4 moon milk( that's really sweet- just the way I like it). We got croissants for us and cake pops for the kids. The variety wasn't much at Crystal Lake, but still good for coffee and snack. It's a great place to chill with kids with games and coloring to occupy kiddos. I'm a coffee shop explorer and this is the one of best latte I have had- the other one would be in Kansas City, MO read more

I really enjoy their coffee and the moon milk. I typically get a hot latte. But the past 2 times I got an iced latte with the added cold foam which is an up charge of $1.35. The first time I got a 16 oz and the cold foam was very non existent, very superficial so I figured it was due to it being a smaller cup. Today I got a 20oz and again chose cold foam and AGAIN it was barely there. It seems like they purposely only add a tbsp of it and by the time I get to my car and it's swishing around in the coffee it almost disappears. Just sad that after paying the extra charge for it I still get skimmed on it. I would understand if it was free then ok be miserable with it but not when I'm paying for it. read more

Summer moon is new to our area and my wife and I enjoy checking out new establishments once our kids are off to school or summer camp for the day. We saw this place close by and decided to try it out a few times through the drive thru and weren't disappointed. My wife loves sweeter drinks and I prefer nitro cold brew. Summer moon had a drink for each of us! My wife got the Blue moon latte iced and I got the 16 oz. Nitro moon. Each drink uses their creation of something called moon milk. It's a sweetened creamer of sorts that is fantastic! Notes of cinnamon, brown sugar and other wonderful flavors come through. We highly recommend this place. The crew is nice and engaging, the indoor atmosphere is wonderful, yet small. Go check it out! read more
