★★★★★ 5.0 Eric G · Dec 2025

Been coming here for a few years now and I love it everytime. The effort that goes into the unique menu items is impeccable which reflects how delicious the coffee and matcha is. The vibe is always chill, great decorations, and the people are so nice. Easy to tell how much the owner cares about the business and the community. Best coffee shop in Waukegan!!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Omar · May 2025

Cool vibe, good coffee, and a great spot to support local! I grabbed a large vanilla latte for $7.50—yeah, a bit on the pricey side, but honestly worth it for the quality and the atmosphere. Way better than giving that money to a big chain. Definitely recommend checking them out if you’re in the area.

*** Edit: So the response from the coffee shop shows they don’t value customers. As a diabetic, I cannot just simply enjoy coffee with the “natural sweeteners” which is why I ask for a sugar free option. I’m glad you were unable to serve me, as I don’t think you deserve my business! I was really excited to come and try some of their coffee, however, they did not offer any sugar free options. When I asked if they had any, they tried to offer honey or agave, neither option is sugar free. I left without getting coffee, which was disappointing. Their menu looks delicious tho.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jeanette Alvarez · Nov 2025

Coming to this coffee shop is always such a treat. The customer service is fantastic, everyone is so kind and welcoming. The coffee is excellent, and I’m also a big fan of their matcha. I love the creative flavor ideas they come up with and always look forward to their seasonal specials, while still appreciating the classics they keep year-round. I also enjoy browsing their sticker selection every time I visit. Plus, they genuinely care about their community, and that’s a wonderful bonus!
