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.

Riverbottom Ice Cream Co. is a little hidden gem located in downtown Algonquin. The ice cream is…read moremade in very small batches and is some of the best around the area! There's a small seating area inside but plenty outside. Parking is on the street and nearby lot. I tried the coffee toffee crunch and it was really good. Not too sweet and a good amount of toffee. The portion size is generous. They specialize as a coffee barista and also sell fresh roasted coffee bean as well. It's well worth the drive in my opinion to enjoy REAL ice cream!

One of my best friends and I decided to come here after getting tattoos. This place is adorable and…read morethe staff is super friendly! I love the homey feel and I love the unique offerings they have for ice cream flavors! I know the flavors rotate so in the pictures that I will be sharing those were the flavors at the time! I am absolutely going to be going back to see what some of their holiday offerings will be! However if you do go there and they have the raspberry habanero, it's definitely at least worth a taste! I will say that the heat does build! I will say that the heat does build while you are eating it, but it was delicious! In addition to fun flavors they also have fun ice cream cone options as well! Great place to take the kiddos! So if you're looking to support a cute, delicious, and sweet (pun intended) small business definitely check them out!

I got one of their winter menu items, which was the Snow Day Cold Coffee. The maple cinnamon cold foam was delicious. For food, I got the ricotta chili crisp toast and the flavors of honey, chili and creamy ricotta paired with the crunchy toast was perfect. I also tried their vegan chocolate glazed old-fashioned donut. Great spot for meeting with friends or doing work. They have a huge collection of board games to play as well!

Came here on a rainy day. I've been to many areas of West Dundee, but not here. It's nice because…read morethere's a rear parking lot and rear entrance. It's a decent size coffee shop with a couch and many tables. I ordered their house coffee and a butter pecan scone thing. The coffee was okay. I like the scone flavor but it was pretty dry. If it warmer, moist, and maybe some sugar sprinkled on top, it would have been perfect.

I have mixed feelings. I used to enjoy a smoothie from OR but I agree with the reviews about the…read morepoor service times and staff being TOO "chill." Most visits take far too long, especially if there is more than one customer. The employees act as though they believe that the customers have unlimited time so they will chit chat or lallygag. This is a service based business so there needs to be a balance between "friendliness" and timeliness. I realize it's not a fast food joint but no one wants to wait 10-15 minutes for a smoothie or to simply pay for stocked items. This is the reason I don't shop here frequently anymore.

I'm usually the last person to complain about service but it's legitimately bizarre here. Last time…read morewe went in it wasn't even clear who was working, people in street clothes kept going behind the counter to make themselves drinks and despite confirming we were waiting, nobody would take our order, the only actual customers in the store, for about 10 minutes, then the one thing that needed to be made took another 10 minutes while we watched them mostly just talk and make their own drinks. It feels like they're recording a sitcom about friends who work at a cute little shop and you're intruding.

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.

It has a comfortable local coffee shop feel rather than feeling like a typical chain. The coffee was good and thoughtfully made. You can tell they put care into their drinks, and the quality was consistent. The menu had a nice variety of options, making it easy to find something whether you prefer classic coffee drinks or something a little different. Service was friendly and the overall experience was enjoyable. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that while everything was good, I didn't have a single drink or item that completely stood out as unforgettable.

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.
