Starbucks - Front of the Building. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Crystal Lake, Illinois

Found a Starbucks in downtown Crystal Lake, so I decided to come here for breakfast before heading to the airport for my flight to Fort Wayne, Indiana. I always loved the vibe of Starbucks and it was empty enough to where I could secure a seat after purchasing my trenta black tea lemonade. I arrived here on a brisk Monday late April 2024 morning at around 6:15am, after my friend dropped me off before she headed to work. It was nice and warm, when the weather was chill outside. There was a couple of people ahead of me, so I waited my time to order up a trenta black tea lemonade. Starbucks is known for their coffees and frappuchinos, but I ended up getting their handcrafted ice teas. While Starbucks can be expensive, it's a lifestyle for most people who live for this stuff, myself included. The ambiance of this Starbucks, like many standalone stores, is an oasis for many. I love the fact that you can enjoy your purchase and hang out or work on your mobile device online with wifi. The place is clean and typical of what you'd find at a Starbucks store. For myself though, I had brought my leftovers from dinner the night before and paired it with the aforementioned trenta black tea for an ideal pairing for breakfast. I probably spent about 1 1/2 hours here just enjoying the small town ambiance Crystal Lake provides before calling an Uber to take me to Chicago O Hare that morning. I enjoyed every bit of the experience here. Wish more experiences was like that, but then again, I'd have to sit at Starbucks more. The overall experience here at this Starbucks in downtown Crystal Lake, Illinois was very pleasant. I sat near the entrance, so it was close to the parking lot for my Uber pick up spot. Plus, the restroom facilities were on that side of the building as well. The baristas were friendly and courteous, so that's always good, especially on the mornings. The entire ordering process took about 5 minutes from ordering to pick up, which was quite fast. The entire Starbucks was clean and very immaculate. I would definitely recommend coming to this Starbucks, if they are in the area or just passing thru. This just might be the only Starbucks location in Crystal Lake, Illinois, but I am not sure. I am thankful that they are here, since I usually try to find one on every trip. The wifi was pretty strong that morning, so I got some things done while I was there, including downloading my boarding pass on my mobile device and other whimsical things like being updated on the local and national news of the day. With that in mind, Starbucks is usually a daily thing for me and vacationing in Crystal Lake, Illinois is included. Thankfully I found one wandering around the day before, so I could come here the next day for my daily fix. If you are in the area and need your daily fix, consider this Starbucks in downtown Crystal Lake. This Starbucks store is located in downtown Crystal Lake, Illinois. It's physically located at 40 N Williams Street, Crystal Lake, Illinois. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, there's a generous parking options near by, so that's a good thing, especially in the morning. I was dropped off by my friend who lives in Crystal Lake and picked up by an Uber that morning. The prices here were pretty good, compared to my hometown of Honolulu, so I saved a little bit, but not by much. Their menu is mostly drinks, which isn't surprising, but they always have baked goods to compliment your drink(s) of choice. For the most part though, it was nice to come here to have leftovers from last night and indulge in my Starbucks drink of choice. Relax in the delicious ambiance that Starbucks provides and you'll be good with what life throws at you. Most of the time at least. My time here at this Starbucks was enjoyable and hope yours will be too. 4.5 stars for the overall experience. 3.5 stars for the pricing but everything else was 5.0 stars. Support local!

Thank you, Starbucks for the most amazing lavender lattes ad cinnamon, coffee, cake! I just wish you could find a way to make them low-calorie. read more

Worst coffee I've ever had they screwed something up I've always ordered an iced doppio with vanilla sweet cold foam and when I tasted this one I was gagging the whole time. I feel like maybe what I had must've been expired it tasted bad and something was off read more

The service. The woman taking my order was very rude. My daughter went with her friends and went inside but they were talking and saying how they should probably check out this other place first just in case, but when they came back she gave my daughter a lot of attitude and kept glaring at them. The barista name was Amy or something! We don't plan to come back there read more

My favorite Starbucks around! I come here almost daily since this location opened. The most friendly Starbucks team I have ever experienced and drinks and food are always made the right way and most important quickly. These days have been tough with covid but I truly appreciate their personal touch and the fact they always go out of there way to make life a little more normal by striking up a conversation. It's Starbucks... but everyone hear is friends in my book. You can't god wrong at this Starbucks. Not the case in a few other stores nearby. read more

I loved this place! Jane was working today and was being VERY nice to me and my friend, i like how nice and calming it is, but i do wish they had more seating. It was busy but they got orders done fast read more

Starbucks - a bagel with frosting and a cup of coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Crystal Lake, Illinois

I love Starbucks food and coffee, but they keep sending me copies that are 3 inches from the top. I just think that's in really poor taste to short us that much on coffee when you're charging seven dollars a cup anyways. As much as I love Starbucks I think I'm going to find another source for my coffee and bakery items because I'm tired of feeling ripped off by you. It's a really expensive cup of coffee anyways, and when it's only 2/3 of the way filled up, I just feel ripped off. read more

So disappointed with tonight's service. The young lady working , "Employed there" Well needless to say, Monday I'll stop by to see the manager, But I won't be doing Starbucks anytime soon. read more

Nice location all the Baristas are Super! My only complaint is they need to update the furniture and the hours have changed, they close very early now but then again I noticed that all of downtown Crystal Lake closes early except the Bars everything is all closed up no one's there that's why I prefer going to Woodstock there's more people around. read more

Starbucks - The Hours are wrong on Yelp, here is a photo of the correct open times for this Starbucks. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Crystal Lake, Illinois

This location has GREAT staff. Brandon was the nicest, and quickest, employee that's ever helped me. He was done with my drink before I even made it down to the pick up counter. I was shocked that someone could move that fast! I'll definitely be coming back! read more

What can I say about Starbucks that any other coffee drinker doesn't already know? I'm not a huge fan of their coffee because it tastes fairly burned and flat, not to mention that they serve up desserts in a cardboard cup that masquerade as "coffee" drinks. I do appreciate their cold tea/juice drinks as well as their hot coffee and their caramel apple cider, which is what really keeps me coming back for more. What's great about Starbucks, and this location in particular, is the friendly customer service. Now I know it's part of their company culture, but the baristas genuinely seem to be having fun and to enjoy working. When I'm bleary eyed from a late night of shushing and soothing a screaming infant, it's great to know that there's a smiling face serving me some coffee. It's infectious and almost as potent as the caffeine itself. read more

The coffee is, of course, amazing. I usually get a plain latte and I love it every time. The only thing that I do not like about this location is that it gets quite busy (I get that, it's a local meeting place) and that seating is quite sparse. On Saturday, I touched one of the tables before I went to put my cup down and it was extremely uneven and wobbled. Sad faces were exchanged. The staff was friendly and great. I just think that with 3 locations in Crystal Lake that this would not be as crowded as it was when it was the ONLY location in Crystal Lake. Just a thought read more

Today at 12:09pm a lady with glasses and bangs was taking orders and right when we walked in she was yelling at a old man accidentally picking us someone else's order.also the old Order for TWO bagels and paid for two then they said they only have one so the old man got mad and left. When I got up to ask her if she has Carmel apple spice she proceeded to say " yeah what about it" with so much sass literally left me speechless. read more

First off: there is a Clover machine here so the reserve blends are available. Very pleasant and engaging staff in a tad small facility. This store tends to get very busy and overcrowded when school lets out. Very good amount of outdoor seating available and close to downtown shopping, restaurants and the Metra Northwest Line. read more

It use to be called a Vivano, now they just call I a Smoothy, but try the chocolate & banana with a shot of espresso. Awesome...

The best starbucks I've been to! My friend and I were working on homework for several hours and one of the workers gave us both a free drink! Definitely will be coming back here! read more

Always a pleasure! I work near this location so I'm a regular and i appreciate that they recognize that. Always friendly, are starting to get my order down, good vibes to the environment ! read more

Pretentious baristas. I just watched a female barista give this couple (man & woman) the continuous stink eye for a prolonged duration that it was blatantly obvious. She then continued to offer me a fake smile as she handed me my Clover-brewed coffee. Customers are not as bright either. I was at the creamer area and the woman kept dumping her coffee to add more half & half. Dissatisfied with her results, I watched her do this twice. I am guessing she's a regular that doesn't know how to say, "with room." All issues aside, it was just another Starbucks. read more

We like this Starbucks over the one on the main drag because it has clover coffee and a book shelf with books to share. It seems very comfortable. Staff are very friendly. read more

Bad Starbucks, bad Starbucks! I grew up in Seattle when Starbucks was a funky little coffee shop in Pike Street Market. Now they have gotten too big for their britches offering product that is horrifically unhealthy, have you read the levels of sugar in these "drinks" not to mention the outrageous pricing that keeps going up and up? I cold press the best coffee at home which will not put me into a diabetic coma, add an additional 20 pounds, and I save a Ton of tenners! read more

Fantastic location, right in the heart of thriving Crystal Lake. The staff makes the burden of sitting and reading physics for hours much more bearable, and the Peach Tranquility is heaven-sent. The decaf is pretty killer as well. Definitely recommend this location. P.S. I also hear tossing a shot of espresso in a peanut-butter/banana smoothie is a top notch beverage as well. read more

Thank you for completing my mornings with a perfect venti caramel iced macchiato! I LOVE the location! keep up the great work guys!

I live closer to the city in Chicago and let me tell you this is the best Starbucks I have been to in Illinois. I normally never write reviews for Starbucks, but this Starbucks has exceptional customer service. They were friendly, attentive, and very flexible when it came to custom drinks. Great Starbucks! I want to give it 10 stars! read more

I LOVE this Starbucks :) I've been in so many different locations, but this one has consistently fantastic drinks and by far the friendliest baristas! I'm amazed that every visit they always are smiling and dong such a great job even though they have a constant stream of customers. Definitely my favorite Starbucks :) read more
