I can’t recommend them enough!!“

I came in for my usual nitro cold brew, and the women working were incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely welcoming. Their energy set such a positive tone for the day — it’s the kind of warmth and attentiveness that makes a simple coffee run feel special.

Thank you for the great coffee and even better people behind the counter. You’ve definitely earned a loyal customer! ☕💛“

“The inside was very clean, tables were kept well and there were plenty of places to sit. Coffee and tea were amazing, we got a green tea and nitro cold brew and they exceeded expectations. We got a ham and cheese sandwich and a spicy avocado bacon sandwich and those also exceeded expectations. Everything was served in a timely manner and the baristas were friendly and welcoming. Will return even though we don't live close, and would recommend. 10/10“

I call that consideration and good business practice! Will be back again!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!“

“Calibrè Coffee never disappoints! I tried their Ube Matcha and Ube Coffee, and both were amazing--creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The baristas are super friendly, and the cafe has such a cozy vibe. Definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for unique, delicious drinks!

Support small Filipino businesses--this one is a must-visit!“

“I was blown away.“

“4th Update (Sept 3, 2025)
I’ve ordered four different crepe mille cakes now and each cake as pretty and delicious as ever.
——————————
Update: A few months later, I ordered an 8” Mille crepe cake with passionfruit filling and asked for a custom design of poppy flowers because the birthday girl loves poppies. The cake was so fresh and tasted divine! The party guests were super super impressed and asked me where I bought the cake, what kind cake is it, what flavor?
———————————
Absolutely delicious Mille crepe cake!! I decided to order a birthday cake and some mini cakes without tasting anything first. My friends were blown away by how good the passion fruit flavor was!! The owner was also super easy to work with. She texted me pictures of different designs she can do. She’s so creative!!!“

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

“Good service! DELICIOUS Cheese Danish... Orgasmic.“

“I went into target and decided to grab a coffee to start my day and I was greeted by Jessica! She was very efficient and made sure to confirm my order and then made likely the best coffee I’ve had in a long time! I come to Starbucks daily, and her ratio of exactly my request was perfect! Thank you, Jessica, and Starbucks for making my day!“

“Just like a second home! The staff is great very nice people“

“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!“

“Thank you so much, Duck Donuts for making 100 plus donuts fresh to order for our amazing homeowners at Aloha Construction, Inc. Our families enjoyed getting your warm and delicious donuts delivered this evening on this cold night. Also, Maulesh thank you for making Evelyn her special donut while we got to enjoy watching you make our special order and getting Thank You's wrote.🥳🍩🙌“

“So many delicious drinks to choose from & they are always quick! ☺️“

“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.“

“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“
