Biggby Coffee in Carpentersville is a solid stop when you're craving something a little sweet and…read morefun. I tried the Iced Spotted Owl and really enjoyed it--definitely on the sweeter side, but as a hazelnut fan, it hit the spot. The lemon coffee cake bites were a great add-on. Not too heavy, just the right portion for a quick treat alongside a drink. Huge bonus for me: they have a drive-thru, which makes it super convenient when you're on the go. The service was also great: friendly, quick, and made the whole experience even better. And extra points for being dog-friendly! Their pup cup was huge and such a fun surprise. Always love seeing places go the extra mile for customers with pups.

What can I say? Good location, sick beats, good hot and cold drinks, a decent reward system. They make me Roxbury in my car. Memories of extra crispy buckets still linger, but you can just drink your greasy Kernel Sanders thoughts away and drive off into the sunset traffic jam on Route 14. So arm yourselves with a drink of endless combinations, smile, and go get your Crystal Lake errands done.

I visited the Algonquin 7 Brew location on Saturday to take advantage of the BOGO promotion, and…read moreunfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. The first issue was the drive-thru line. There was construction happening in the parking lot, and employees were directing traffic. The car directly in front of me was allowed to enter the drive-thru, but I was instructed to drive all the way around the parking lot and follow the cones. What made it frustrating was that I later watched other vehicles being directed straight into the line. The process seemed inconsistent and unnecessarily confusing. Once I finally got into line, there were several employees standing near the entrance talking while customers waited. It took a while before anyone approached my vehicle to take my order. When an employee did come over, I asked about one of the promotional drinks. He wasn't familiar with what was in it and had to leave and ask someone else. While I understand employees are still learning, I expected a little more familiarity with the menu and promotion. The biggest issue was at the payment window. The music was so loud that I could barely hear the employee speaking. I had to repeatedly ask her to repeat herself and eventually found myself raising my voice just to communicate. It made the interaction frustrating and unnecessary. Another disappointment was the pricing. One of the reasons I originally chose 7 Brew over other coffee chains was the value. When I first started going about eight months ago, my large drink with cold foam was around $7 and change. Now that same drink is over $9. I understand prices increase, but when you're paying more, you also expect consistency. The cold foam in my drink was minimal, especially considering it is an additional charge. I've visited this location three separate times and have had similar experiences each time. I kept giving it another chance because it's only about seven minutes from my house, but this visit was the final straw. At this point, I'd rather drive the extra 20+ minutes to the Huntley or Lake Zurich locations than return to the Algonquin location. Between the inconsistent traffic direction, employees standing around while customers waited in the lot, lack of product knowledge, excessively loud music, and disappointing drink execution, this location has lost my business.

So extremely happy that there's a 7 Brew in town! I had my first one in Bentonville, Arkansas and I…read morewas hooked. I had a co-worker who ordered me a Carmel Macchiato, blended half caff with coconut milk and it was out of this world. So I ordered the same thing and it was incredible! My wife got the Sugar Cookie Chai Tea and enjoyed it, though she didn't realize you can change the sweetness level, so she would've reduced it. My daughter got the Star Gazer and it was super duper good! The staff was super positive and polite, even given the snowy and cold weather. Since it was swag day, we got a free shirt for every large drink. We actually came back a second time! BTW, the prices are comparable to the other places and even a little less depending on item. Now I have to come back to try the other iced drinks and sodas. It's a nice break from the standard coffee joints that have saturated the market. So many flavors, options, and styles... it's almost overwhelming. My only complaint (don't call me an old man) was that the music through the speakers was way too loud. Not bad since it was a big marketing event, but I hope it's not this loud in a few months when the traffic settles. Either way, I'll be back, for sure!
