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 got the turkey panini with mayo, lettuce, tomato and cheese - it was delicious. I wished I got another panini because half of the panini was not enough for me.

Alll of the breads are baked locally by TURANO BAKING COMPANY from Chicago and use locally grown produce by KLEIN'S FARM & GARDEN from Burlington and use local honey from SUNNY HILL FARMS from Harvard and jams from SOSINSKI PRODUCE from Antioch.

It was a great place to set up shop to get some work done and have local coffee/ food. I love supporting local shops who also support other local groups. The breakfast and lunch options were always great, the coffee was on point every time and the staff were friendly and always having a good time behind the counter. It was also a heartwarming sight to see that 75% of the staff and customers knew each other on a personal level. It ALMOST makes me miss living in the area.

Out of curiously I searched to see if there was one in the area and found Coco Rolls. Since we were on the town, we decided to stop in and check it out before they closed. First I will say that they are located in a strip mall, but in a part of it that makes it hard to find. We drove past it a couple of times before we realized they were in a nook on a courtyard area. You do have to look to find it as you will not see it from the road easily. Upon entering we found a fun little shop. There's not a lot of seating, but I feel like most of their customers are an order and go crowd. When we entered there were no other customers, we ordered our rolled ice cream and sat at the table they had to eat. While eating others came in, but ordered and left. I had the Oreo and Nutella rolls my lady had the caramel. Both were delicious. Overall, we were pleased. I wish they were closer to where we lived, but it will be a nice occasional visit. I can't comment on the Boba as we didn't order any, but maybe next time.

Hot Taro tea with boba was ordered- not hot at all, it was just warmed to room temperature. Taro powder mix is not mixed well and i could feel texture all the time I was trying to drink. Flavor was decent. But I think they need to use mixer to have more uniform mix than just stirring it with spoon. They have plenty of cake and icecream options and have mini squishy vending machines.

As far as farmers markets in the area, this one is kinda my fav. I've been many times and most…read morerecently a few weeks ago. Altho the brick street may be a bit challenging for someone with difficulty getting around, it all around the Woodstock square(park) on the street. What I like about it as far as farmers markets go, it all seems to be local vendors. Local as within a 60 or so mile radius. I also like that there's more than fruits and veggies. There was a pierogis vendor, a taco or quesadilla vendor, and a bakery vendor. There's honey, soaps, (which are very monitoring and smell good) as well as very fresh breads and of course lots of veggie and fruit(apples in Fall) choices. I also like that there's a Tues and Sat with Tuesday obviously being less crowded. Usually parking can be found easily if you are not there at too peak of times and it's not too big or small that it feels crowded and takes forever to get in and out of, like some. As I said it's my favorite.

I try to mix it up a little when it comes to coffee shops, I usually drink Dunkin' but I'll have a Starbucks here and there, as you can see from my past reviews here on Yelp. The service here was over the top, very quick for a Dunkin' location and, best of all even in McHenry County, they were serving coffee and with a tray for even more social distancing. Kaci? was very helpful and knew the items very well, this is the kind of experience I wish I could get at every Dunkin' location. The next time you're in Crystal Lake and craving Dunkin, give this location a try!
