“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 crepes and paninis!! Fresh ingredients made to order! Very nice location! Definitely recommend!“

“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 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!!“

“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.“

“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!“
