50 Best Coffee Shops near Lakemoor

“Bella was the best!! On one of the most busiest days and a holiday, Bella greeted us with a smile and cheerful attitude. I hope everyone tipped because they worked their tails off making sure everyone was taken care of. Go see Bella!! We will!“

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

“This Starbucks location has some of the kindest and considerate workers. They are always happy to remake a drink or ask me in advance if something has too much cream in it. I have been told by the Volo location that “maybe they’re not the right coffee house” when I finally brought up the barista who always makes the drinks with a lack of effort and how there is often attitude and confusion when a drink is asked to be made with less cream. I will continue to go out of my way to go to Lakemoor location!“

“best coffee shop around :)“

“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.“

“great specialty coffee and a lovely setting. You won't be disappointed!“

“I moved away from the area and was visiting. I needed to get my daily cup of coffee so I searched where I could get a good cup of coffee. Summer Moon came up with a 4.8 rating, so I tried it. I just bought a medium house blend and added my own Nutpods half and half. It was SO delicious! It was good and strong and very flavorful. The barista said it was a medium, but it's more like a medium/dark, which I like. I was sitting in my car drinking it, but before I left, I went back in with my travel mug and got another coffee for the road! This was the best coffee I've had from a coffee shop in a long time. I was also pleased that they also had a variety of gluten free bakery items from a local bakery. Not many places have this. When I'm in town again, I'll be back!“

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

“This place is amazing, they have wonderful coffee and amazing breakfast sandwiches! Highly recommended, we have been here twice within 4 days, second time we brought the kids and they loved it as well. What really perked my ears was the fresh green pepper on a breakfast sandwich with ham omg it was so good. We will be back.“

“Great Place! Super chill, lots of natural sunlight with their huge windows. Quite possibly the best spots in Mchenry County. Not Chicago Pretentious. Just a cool, chill, CLEAN place!!! Can't go wrong!!“

“Top donut shop in the US.“

“Terrific vibe. The owner cares.“

“I went here for the first time this weekend & it was absolutely delicious, such a relaxing & cozy atmosphere. I can’t wait to go back, it was worth the little drive there!“

“Love the food, love the staff. Always served with a smile. Best place around!!“

“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!!“

“The sweetest team/family, the best cannolis and focaccia bread I’ve ever had 🫶“

“This is a unique and amazing coffee shop, not just because it's a sober bar, because it has expert baristas, fun events, and meeting space for art, meetings and community gatherings. The staff is downright amazing! So is the coffee ☕“

“Cary Out Coffee is the best thing to happen to this town .. Everyone should support this wonderful business“

“we love these healthy treats!“

“Hands down, the friendliest staff serving THE best coffee in town!“

“Very cute coffee shop. It’s an easy place to work from or meet a friend. It’s laptop friendly and quiet.

I had a chai and gluten free muffin, and both were great.

Plenty of people came in and out while I was there, and it seemed like a popular place for lunch. The menu has numerous sandwiches options, and they had pasties as well.

It was an added bonus that not only were their muffins gluten free, but also vegan (dairy free) ao I could certainly call them allergy-friendly.

There is plenty of two-hour parking around the area, at least at mid-day when I arrived.

I did try to get their attention for about 5 mins when I walked in but everyone was in the back talking. It was a bit of a long time to be standing waiting to order. Maybe a camera or someone always up front would help. That part was uncontrollable but other than that, it was a nice visit.“

“Had my daughter’s baby shower cake made here. Julie was so easy to work with and gave me great advice. I had several guests who needed gluten free and Julie and her staff were able to make the whole cake gluten free. It was so delicious that my guests thought it was the best they’ve had. Thanks Whisk Bakery!!“

“I've been coming here since they opened and the drinks are always consistent, lines move quickly. But yesterday I had such a good experience with alex. He was so incredibly sweet and charming. I slhung back for a bit just to chat. Give this man a raise, his customer service skills are banging!“

I think the manager is Kristin and you can tell she creates a great work place environment because her team seems genuinely happy to be there and help customers.“

“I love this Starbucks!!!! There are three, Jacob, Hannah, and a tall dark haired guy with glasses that are super friendly and always in a great mood! They ALWAYS make my coffee to perfection. I stopped going to the mchenry location because they could never make my coffee right :( thank you for hiring such awesome 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!“

“Best.Coffee.Ever! Yummy breakfast sandwich too. Great job, Dave!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Our favorite Dunkin’ around! They say all Dunkin’ drinks are the same, but this Dunkin’ is by far the best and they always get it right! It’s also a great way to get the kids out of the house for school quickly!! 😂 🍩“

“I went here for my grandma, She was admitted to the ICU on Wednesday to Northwestern Mchenry hospital. Today she had surgery at 1 and after the surgery all she wanted was a White mocha from starbucks, so I went and got one and told them about it, and they were so nice and the wrote a sweet message on the cup for her! It made her day and she was so so happy, whoever was on staff today (6/19/26) around 4:10 thank you!“
