Coffee Shops near Island Lake

“Cute updated play area...“

“Amazing people with healing smile and excellent customer service. Highly higly recommended to all. Five star place and seevice. Jacky is the best!“

“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!“

“I stayed in the ADORABLE little rental above the coffee shop and the whole place smelled like coffee when we checked in. (huge win to me) If they were still open I would have gone down to get some coffee immediately. I went down first thing the next morning and ordered a frosted cranberry latte and it was so delicious. 100% made me want to stay another night but we had to head home. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable and the coffee is amazing.“

“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.“

I did not get the male employees name, but WOW, super knowledgeable, engaging and helpful. I was so impressed with my overall experience. Keep up the GREAT work. Outstanding customer service.“

“Great coffee and excellent sandwiches, but I had to leave prematurely because I found it hard to focus from how loud some of the employees are. They’re all very nice but some are very chatty and I found myself getting annoyed. Good place to go to if you aren’t focused on getting work done.“

“Friendly atmosphere with live music this morning“

“The sweet owner walked across the tracks this morning to give my daughter an avocado egg sandwich before taking the train to Chicago. He heard my daughter wanted one and he was so kind to Bring her one. Btw my daughter enjoyed it on the train! Thank you again for your hospitality!“

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!!“

“Love the Boosted Teas!! I try to stop as often as I can and I try to get my friends to try them.“

“Great quality french pastries. Excellent service . Highly recommended“

“Conscious Cup is our go-to coffee spot, and all of the people who work at the Cary location consistently go above and beyond. They know our drink order by heart and are always kind, courteous, welcoming, and friendly. The quality of the coffee and tea here is also far superior to anything around. We love it!“

“I have been coming here recently and am blown away by how good it is. Recently came in and wanted lunch but they didn't have lunch on Sunday, but it is koffee kup after all not lunch during the church rush. That was the only bummer I have ever had coming here and I have been here 5+ times in like 2-3 weeks for breakfast and I live 20 minutes away.“

Thanks Whisk Bakery!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I absolutely LOVE the Lakemoor Starbucks!

I used to avoid Starbucks because I thought it was too pricey — but after receiving a gift card and giving it a try, I was instantly HOOKED. Now, I regularly order ahead using the Starbucks app and pick up, either in-store or through the drive-thru, from this location. Every single visit has been a pleasure. The staff are always friendly, upbeat, and genuinely welcoming — and my order is always ready and accurate. That consistency keeps me coming back.

Here are just a few of the menu items I’ve tried and loved from this location:

🥚🥔 Potato, Cheddar & Chive Bakes
Golden and crispy on the outside, soft and savory on the inside — these are the perfect comfort-food bites. The blend of Yukon Gold potatoes, aged cheddar, and fresh chives blended with cage-free eggs and baked to golden perfection makes each bite rich, cheesy, and satisfying. It’s impossible to stop at just one — which is fine, because you get two!

🥚🥬Spinach, Feta & Egg White Wrap
Light yet full of flavor, this wrap really wraps you in goodness. Fluffy cage-free egg whites, vibrant baby spinach, and crumbles of tangy feta cheese, come together in a warm whole wheat wrap that is lightly grilled to crispy perfection. The feta adds a creamy, salty punch that plays perfectly against the freshness of the spinach, while the wrap itself has a toasty, nutty flavor. It's a wholesome, protein-packed option that feels indulgent — perfect fuel for whatever your day holds.

🥚🌿 Egg, Pesto & Mozzarella Sandwich
The basil pesto is the star here! Paired with creamy mozzarella and fluffy cage-free eggs on a toasted artisan ciabatta roll, this sandwich is savory and flavorful without being too heavy. It’s my go-to morning pick-me-up.

🧀 Crispy Grilled Cheese on Sourdough
Pure comfort food. Thick slices of sourdough are topped with Parmesan butter and toasted until golden and crunchy on the outside. That comes together with the gooey melted white cheddar and mozzarella inside so that every bite is a balance of crispy edges, buttery richness, and melty, cheesy satisfaction. It's nostalgic and delicious.

🍅🌿 Mozzarella & Tomato on Focaccia
Soft, creamy slices of fresh mozzarella, juicy, vine-ripened tomatoes, and fragrant, herby, basil pesto — all layered on herbed focaccia. It’s like a cozy Italian café experience, tucked into a handheld delight—warm and satisfying.

🐉 Starbucks Dragon Drink
The delicious Dragon Drink with mango, dragonfruit, and creamy coconut milk tastes exotic, fruity, and refreshing, with just the right amount of bold. Plus, the bits of real dragonfruit make every sip fun and flavorful.

🍓 Starbucks Pink Drink
This isn't just a drink — it’s a beautiful sip of summer in a cup. The Pink Drink blends creamy coconut milk with the sweet-tart refreshment of strawberry açaí, swirled together with real strawberry slices for a burst of fruit in every sip. It's cool, light, refreshing, and impossible to put down.

The Lakemoor Starbucks has become one of my favorite places to grab a quick breakfast, brunch, lunch, or refreshing drink. The service is always excellent, the food consistently fresh and tasty, and the whole experience is just easy and enjoyable.

Highly recommend — 5 stars all the way!“

“Last Thursday my friend and I stopped in for a cup of tea. This was my first visit. We had a chance to sit and chat while we sipped our tea. There was a comfortable sitting area. Our service was very good! It was easy to park our cars. All in all a place to relax, visit and enjoy a cup of delicious tea!“

“I was blown away.“

“I went today and this was by far the best experience I’ve had at a Dunkin! The gentlemen working was very kind and worked quickly. He made the best oat milk shaken espresso I’ve had and filled it with a very appropriate amount of ice which I really appreciate (other Dunkins always fill it to the brim with ice, leaving very little room for the actual drink). Highly recommend.“

“I always enjoy my experience at rusty malts! They have great ice cream and shakes! Staff is always super nice and helpful! 10/10 will always go here!“

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

“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 …😊☕️“

“Elizabeth R. in Target Starbucks at Lake Zurich is always so nice and welcoming. She is always a smile in her voice when she greets me at the store . Elizabeth R. has such a professional and friendly demeanor ,she always has a smile and friendly hello. She knows how to make a good coffee.Svitlana“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“
