8 Best Coffee Shops near Elgin

“We enjoy PJ’s pecan coffee but they are regularly out. Went by today to see if the pecan coffee was available and was treated rudely. Cashier was not helpful and rude and the music playing in the store was so loud you couldn’t hear the conversation.“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to leave one for this! They were a little slow, but it was about 8am, so it was expected. I ordered the new Wicked Drink, and the barista who made it for me was super nice (she was darker skinned with brown curly braids). They all looked super stressed, so I felt like I’d give her the deserved props. Tense work environment, but the drink was good and the employee put that to the side and was friendly with me as were a good bit of the employees, she just stood out a bit more :).“

“Drinks are always great. Staff is friendly and well trained.“

“I had the pleasure of trying canal coffee for the first time yesterday and i’m so glad i did! First of all, the barista was super friendly and mega skilled! Best latte i’ve ever had! Great selection of flavors, not overly sweet, perfectly balanced. They even have a separate drive through for mobile pickups!! Highly recommend this shop! Can’t wait to try some of their non coffee options as well!“

“we have hosted our Lake Carolina book club there for the last 2 months. The treats and drinks have been amazing. The staff is so wonderful! they were helpful, friendly and quick. I can't wait to host more meetings at Light house“

“I live off of the peanut butter power protein smoothie! Customer service is on point!They are always quick and friendly!“

“I have visited this location during 7 AM visits. I usually get Cheese pesto egg sandwich and tall cappuccino with 1 raw sugar sachet in it. They make my drink perfect with 1 raw sugar added and blended into my cappuccino taking away my time of opening the lid, tearing and pouring and stirring sugar.
However, TWICE I ordered Egg Pesto cheese sandwich and TWICE it came COLD from CENTER area. When they hand it to me, the packet and bread is warm. But always center part is ICE COLD..! Either their machine is not working as per the standards OR Starbucks Headquarters whoever has decided on warming this sandwich for say example 1 minute has not tasted this sandwich to know it remains cold. So Starbucks headquarters Food Quality control employees should have known this and address the concern. They had sent out survey when 1st time I had this issue. I explained in survey so I thought by now the headquarters would have called this location or sent their Quality Control technician to check food and machine but no. Nothing is done yet and I keep getting same cold sandwich!“

“I recently had a fantastic dining experience at [Pho Viet] that I can't stop raving about. I ordered the chicken pho with yellow noodles, and it was simply exquisite. The broth was rich and flavorful, perfectly complemented by tender chicken and fresh herbs. The yellow noodles added a delightful twist that made the dish stand out.

To top it off, I enjoyed a refreshing mango boba tea, which was both vibrant and satisfying.

Ramon, my waitress, truly elevated my experience. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and radiated genuine warmth, making sure I had everything I needed. His recommendations were spot-on, and his service was impeccable.“
