    Great ambiance and easy ordering process on an iPad. The drinks are hand crafted and tasty. I wish they had more shack options. It's more go to place for boba while in Rockford.

    I love gentrification and hispters, no I'm not being sarcastic. This place has both. But don't let that alarm you if you're an ostrich who's afraid of change! This place is unique! I love it! Order at an iPad, mobile pay or swipe, and booooom! Out comes my fantastic drink. Whaaaaaaat?! Fast! This is how all restaurants should operate for to-go/carry-out orders. Seriously. I built my own shake. Vanilla base, added chocolate, caramel, and cookies and cream. It was that kind of a day.

    Ever since candy cloud opened i've loved going there and getting their drinks with boba. There is always very amazing workers and service, whom show patients and respect for all customers! They are very quick to work even during rush hour, giving everyone a wonderful taste of boba, coffee, ice cream, and carmel at in one !

    Candy Cloud is here to stay. LOVE IT!!! Located in Rockford , Illinois this coffee shop is a must visit for refreshing iced coffee, boba drinks with ice cream, and gluten free/vegan drinks!! Walked in and the place was buzzing, steady line at the self order counter but the line moves fast and the drinks appear quick. We ordered the Blueberry Açaí , Shaken Espresso, Brown Sugar Boba Ice Cream, and StarBerry. Each of the drinks were refreshing , tasty and the perfect thirst quencher. Everything is fresh and made in house. The staff is friendly and nice . Love the fun vibe of this place. They also have candy cloud merchandise for purchase at the store. Check out this place ASAP! Highly recommend!

    Candy Cloud started out as a food truck and opened up a storefront this year! It's always a happening place when I go. I love the updated concept of ordering your drinks on the iPad. My favorite drink so far is a special they have only for a limited time called Purple Potion which is taro, sweet cream, brown sugar and boba! They should keep this on their daily menu. I've also tried the strawberry matcha, brown sugar boba, the strawberry lemonade and the ice cream! Everything is so good. During fall they had an apple cider hot drink that was so delish! I hope they bring back the hot drinks! Great place since we don't have many options for good boba drinks in the area!

    This place is pretty good. The way they serve is pretty nice where you digitally put it in on the iPad they have in the store and the decorations and the whole field of this place is pretty cool. The food was OK but really wasn't up to expectations with the price overall good.

    Moving from Florida we were definitely looking for a boba place in the area so we found this place and it's so delicious! They have menus where you can self-build your drink so that was awesome! Nice place will come again

    What a fun place to visit! A Rockford original makes it extra special too! Their drinks are out of this world- whether you want something fruity, a coffee, something indulgent, or a shake - there's many choices. Also it's the first place I've been to that is completely digital ordering. There are no registers or cashiers and completely cashless. When you walk in there are two iPads and you place your order on the touchscreen (or you can order ahead on their website). It's completely state of the art! The ambiance is warm and sleek. The packaging is one of a kind too- your own "pop can" that you get to pop open! It's a completely new concept. I love their blended iced coffee with brown sugar boba - omg so good. The flavor combos are endless.

    Pretzel bites
    Fawn M.

    Such a fun creative caffeine experience!!!!! Highly recommend going to check this shop out. We loved the pretzel bites, the cheese to dip in was AMAZING! We also got their horchata, matcha, and blueberry açaí drinks and wow so yummy and such GREAT prices! This stop really surprised us!

    This place is perfect, with the lack of boba places in the area you wouldn't think that you would find on like this, the environment itself is very peaceful, there is music in the background bar top tables, and a nice couch. From the time you order your drink it does not take long for it to get to you even when it is a bit crowded. The drinks are just as good as the other components of Candy Cloud if not better, you get new seasonal drinks every month and I can't wait to try each of them if I can, they are so creative with the flavors and the names of them, the names and flavors are usually unique to holidays or importance in the month.

    Great menu and prices are reasonable. They do not take cash and no one takes orders. It is all done on a touch screen order pad. The drinks were good but too sweet.

    Blueberry donut ice cream, ice latte, blueberry acai
    Reed S.

    Cool cups, good drinks, and fast service! This place is new, very popular, and has a cool atmosphere. You order on a tablet, they make your order and you pick it up at the counter. The drinks were somewhat pricey but you're paying for the experience as well. The blueberry acai drink is not too sweet and has a unique flavor. The coffee was also good but nothing that you couldn't get anywhere else. (Granted I did not get any drizzle or crazy flavors) overall good branding and cool place. Definitely exciting to have something like this in Rockford

    Chocolate cake ice cream

    Had to go back this summer and check this place out again because it is just AWESOME!! I LOVE IT. I can't just sip these especially if it's a hot summer day!!!! You have to check it out even if you don't live in the area!!! A MUST GO IN THE SUMMER! Go early. The kiddos love this place as well and it will get busy my little Yelp bees! Like late morning around 11:30 am!!! Quick in and out! Not kidding! My go to is the ICED CHAI, half sugar as opposed to full sugar (I don't think I'm wording it correctly, sorry:( with the caramel drizzle. Another favorite is the HORCHATA! Yum!!!

    Stopped by Almoka and ended up trying a matcha pistachio drink. I wasn't sure what to expect, but…read moreit was really good. The matcha was smooth and not too earthy, and the pistachio flavor added just the right amount of sweetness without tasting artificial. The café itself has a nice atmosphere and felt like a great place to sit and catch up with a friend or get some work done. Everything looked clean and well put together, and the staff was friendly when taking my order. I appreciate when coffee shops offer unique drinks that are different from the usual menu, and this one definitely stood out. I'll be back to try some of their other specialty drinks next time I'm in the area. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something a little different from the big chain coffee shops.

I usually ask for a shot of dark chocolate syrup to make it a chocolate chai, so I did for this occasion. The barista made as requested, however, she did give me a heads up that their chai is unique and might not go well with chocolate. She did offer to remake it without the chocolate if I didn't like it. I do taste the difference, but was fine with it as is. If we stop in here again, I will try it without the chocolate because I want to experience the full chai flavor. Jim was going to order their Mufawar specialty coffee, but got sidetracked by the seasonal offerings. He had the salted brown butter latte instead. We both enjoyed our order and would return here again. I like their location too. Easy in and out.

    Power down, robot…read more While driving to Wisconsin, I needed some caffeine and was quickly approaching Rockford. I decided to see if there were any cool local coffeehouses to drop in and get my usual americano and Velvet Robot won me over with the unique name. Knowing nothing else about the place, I set GPS and took a detour for caffeine. I headed in and went straight to the counter. The barista was chilling out on a couch and watching a movie since no one else was in there. We made some odd small talk while I ordered my usual americano. That's when things got weird. He asked if I wanted steamed milk in mine despite me ordering it just black. He seemed confused as I was telling him that they are usually just water and espresso shots. As he was putting my drink together, I noticed he used the handwashing faucet to add the water to my drink. I thought that was really really odd and if not a bit unsettling. Surely they have an actual tap for adding water to drinks? After my drink was made, I went on the hunt for the bathroom. The building that houses Velvet Robot is massive. It almost feels like a mall or a convention center. It was seriously a 1.5-2 minute walk to the bathroom and along the way, it was wide open spaces filled with a church and some offices. As for Velvet Robot itself, it honestly feels like the kind of coffeehouse I would've designed in my early teens. It had cool aesthetics, there was a small arcade corner, stickers adorned the coffee counter, and skateboards with sick art along the walls. I really dug the feel and vibe of the interior. Sadly, when I got to my car and started sipping on my americano, I knew this robot fizzled out. The americano tasted like it was made with drip coffee instead of espresso. Which is weird since I saw the barista make my drink. On top of that, having to explain to the barista what and how to make an americano was a head-scratcher for me. So, while I loved the aesthetics and vibe of Velvet Robot, the disappointment in ordering and taste of my drink has me leaving one of the lowest scores I've ever given to a coffeehouse. Definitely a 5/5 for vibe but 1/5 for coffee and ordering. Maybe if the future allows me to revisit Velvet Robot again, I would gladly give it another shot (no pun intended). But, I don't see myself trying it again until I've had a few of the other places in Rockford first.

It has a beautiful fireplace with variety of games and books you can read. It offers plenty of seating area, with large couch. Including a large Quiet Room. The Quiet Room can be reserved/rented for larger groups in advance. Otherwise you can use the Quiet Room for working, studying, reading or just to sit and enjoy peace and quiet.
