Croissants are a bit overpriced at $6.99; I pay less for better quality in Chicago. Four trips to the bar for two coffees, a sandwich and croissant was three too many.

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.

Their menu always has something new and fun to try, and their food items are very healthy and fresh.

There was so much to choose from between black, green, and herbal teas. This was my 1st time buying loose leaf tea and I purchased a breakfast blend, oolong, and rooibos tea. I was compelled to get a small tea infuser and my breakfast tea has been so good that I'm never going back to premade tea bags again. It's all smooth with none of the harsh or bitter taste from the tea leaves that I am well familiar with that accompanies tea bags. The tea seems to be of good quality and you can reuse the tea leaves a few times for several robust cups of tea. This place is pricey right down to the candles. Lots of spice blends here I could do myself, but some are very creative. Expect to see salts, peppers, rubs, honeys, and different sugar mixtures.
