“Delicious, fresh, healthy smoothies on a hot day were absolutely perfect. William made our daughter a minion milkshake (and secretly made it healthy without her knowing, which was perfect for our very picky eater), and our son enjoyed a taro boba tea with popping mango boba. Such a great find, and fabulous owner!“

“Delicious coffee with a wide variety of choices. My wife and I got an Oreo ice coffee and an iced honey latte. We will definitely be going back.“

“I’m so glad there is a Summer Moon that I don’t have to travel outside of Illinois for ~ their coffee is probably my MOST favorite. I always order the moon milk lattes. Everything here is smooth, rich, and never bitter. The Moon Milk takes every drink to another level. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, love the interior decor, and overall perfect whether you’re grabbing a quick cup in the drive thru or hanging out for a while. Friendly staff, consistent quality, and coffee that actually feels crafted. If you’re a true coffee lover, this place is a MUST.“

“First time at the Conscious Cup with my sister on Mother's Day. Upon entering, welcomed by the best barista ever Uriel who immediately made us feel supported in our beverage decisions. He inquisitively asked some warm, conversational questions and directed us toward the best choice for our preferences and moods for the day. My sister has also noted (prior to learning his name this day) that she had actually stopped coming for a time as she was not enjoying her drinks until one day Uriel made hers and now she is pleased every time she stops in and he's working. Please consider giving Uriel some gold stars, having him train other employees, and a pay raise because he deserves it and we will definitely be back.“

“I just went there to have a meeting with a coworker and absolutely loved the service and the atmosphere. The empanada was still frozen when they served it to me but the server was so kind and gentle and immediately gave me another one that was well cooked and didn’t charge me for the wait and inconvenience. I call that consideration and good business practice! Will be back again!!“

“This is by far the best Starbucks in the area bar none . Everyone from the top management to the baristas are kind, friendly, caring and efficient. I’ve never had an attitude from any of them no matter how complicated my beverage order is. They keep the place clean and safe also. Unfortunately, the Starbucks in Algonquin by the movie theater, and also the one on Randall by Kohl’s has some of the rudest employees. In fact, the one by Kohl’s mopped the floors without squeezing out the mop and there were large puddles of soapy water all over, and I almost fell, even though I was walking extremely slowly. Putting a sign down does not excuse them from liability, but they didn’t seem to care at all about me, or anyone for that matter , and when I expressed my concern that someone can fall, they just rolled their eyes up at me. I am grateful that the Starbucks closest to my home on Algonquin Road and Ryan is Friendly professional and efficient unlike the other ones.“

“Me gusta mucho este lugar y lo mejor que esta cerca de donde vivo y muy buen servicio …😊☕️“

“Stopped in this morning on a quick target run. I would like to mention how friendly the barista was not just to me but all the customers ahead and after me. I didn’t catch her name, but she had pretty blue/teal hair. I must say, my shaken espresso was PERFECT! Her ratios were spot on, other locations have made it too milky, she absolutely nailed it. She definitely put me in a good mood for the rest of the day. And once again, the drink was D E L I C I O U S!!! Thank you for the good service and splendid drink!“

“Today I went to Starbucks where, my daughter, Rachel worked so I could hand out dry floral pendants (flowers from her funeral to her Starbucks family! I know that Starbucks has had it’s fair share of scrutiny lately, but they have been nothing short of amazing through this. They have set a memorial table up in Rachel’s honor. They also called in grief counselors and pulled in shift support from other stores so that people who knew Rachel could take time to grieve individually as well attend her service.“

“Great experience at this Dunkin! The coffee was fresh and exactly what I needed to start the day. The shop was clean, the service was fast, and the staff were very friendly. Stephanie especially stood out—she was welcoming, helpful, and clearly cares about giving customers a great experience. It’s always nice to see someone take pride in their work. I’ll definitely stop here again next time I’m in the area. ☕“

“Garrett kelly and Lindsey great people know my order just by my car love them and this location ❤❤“

“Annie and the entire crew there are absolutely amazing. My wife and I have been to several different Starbucks, and hands down, this is the best location. They always strive for the best of everything, from service to drinks, and they deliver every time. Always a very special treat to visit here, as we both know we'll get the best they have to offer every time.“

“I came into this location a few days ago and had the best experience ever. Kristen was helping me at the time. I gave her a lot of drinks to make but she was quick and efficient. She started a conversation with me, smiles, and is very happy with her job. I am so impressed by her and how quick she is. I will continue to come back to this location all the time now because of her. Thank you Kristen for making this experience so great. You deserve the best!“
