“I really enjoyed Krak! Came here to celebrate with friends, and was surprised and tickled at the card theme of the shop. Each table had a deck of cards! The boba was a little sweet, so I definitely recommend ordering a lower percentage of sugar. The staff were also super nice and we got our drinks pretty quickly considering how busy the shop was! Would definitely return, it's a great, unique little hangout spot more so than a study boba spot and we had a blast playing BS while sipping away at our drinks :)“
“This is the 1ST time trying the coffee place out Peet's and must say the vanilla latte tasted good like they really took the time to make it right and the blueberry muffin was nice and fluffy and tasted rich in flavor definitely recommend this placeYou know I came back again today for the second time and walking in and been able to enjoy a relax environment in the morning is nice verses other places“
“My son recently started liking boba and I’m so glad we found a good place that’s close to home. Went here this weekend and he got a passion fruit drink and I got the house coffee. Both were SO GOOD. They have board games so we even got to play a game while we waited for our drinks.“

“Under new ownership. Been here a few times now and it has the best coffee and best breakfast food in Lake Forest. They have some amazing Deli sandwiches made with fresh veggies. Honestly the best sandwich in Lake Forest that I can remember. The shop is super classic cafe style. It used to be a Starbucks, and now has super friendly touch of customer service. The portions are massive so I haven't had the space to try out their fresh pastries. They are a bakery at heart and bake fresh every morning. Their breakfast sandwiches are made with the best bread selection. Flaky croissants melty cheese. The eggs in there sandwiches are unbelievably fluffy. Definitely recommend this place to all locals. Oh and they have boba, Frappuccino too“
“Just wanted to give a shout out to Claire! (Hope I spelled it right)! Thanks for being so patient with us and answering all of our questions. Also went beyond and made suggestions/recommendations for us. Customer service is 10/10! Thank you again! Happy holidays!“
“The food and drinks here are outstanding. I have eaten here a bunch of time. I've tried a lot of things on the menu and everything has been great every single time. The service is amazing and the people that work there are always kind. They are always better than Panera's even before they changed their menu. The ambiance is great and they price out the food very reasonably. This is a hidden gem that is a must if you're in Lake forest.“
“This is the only Starbucks in the area that has my order ready when the app says it will be ready. This is also the only store in the area that consistently doesn't burn my espresso. Everyone there is just consistently awesome.Extra kudos to everyone working this morning. I wasn't late to work and my coffee was legendary as always. Thanks!“
“After lunch, we boba! I think I've only had Presotea once before, so I wasn't very familiar with their menu offerings. However, they have self-ordering kiosks so that you can take your time viewing the menu and pick whatever your heart desires.I wanted something fruity, light and cold since I had some numbing noodles next door. I was already hot from lunch, so I needed something to cool me off. I decided to go with the Strawberry Cloud with pudding. It was blended to almost an ice cream consistency and the pudding was a nice complement.Highly recommend and would definitely get again.“
“I have to give this coffee place a solid 4 to start. Hear me out. I've read the negative reviews and yeah maybe the coffee is inconsistent in flavor. Maybe they lack a bit in management (I've personally never experienced this) but according to the reviews I read. But you know what. They are also open when you need them the most! Christmas Eve OPEN, New year's Eve, OPEN, New Year's Day, OPEN, Easter, OPEN! They are consistent in a way that If I were these negative comments, I would overlook that. Just saying. This place has always had my back and kept my addiction to caffeine going. Thank you for having my back when most coffee places are closed. YOU ARE THE REAL MVP, ALL the workers here are! Great place also to work and study. I've gone inside, a lot space, a lot room, and my favorite MANY outlets.“
“The service at this Starbucks is legitimately the best I’ve experienced in all of OC. Kota was SO kind and patient with my indecisiveness and answering questions and with my 2 crazy kids, and Kaylie made me the best matcha (with ART ?) I’ve ever had!“
“I drove by this Starbucks thousands of times then it happened. I actually come in for a couple of Joe while waiting for my car being serviced. Its location is kind of nice, next to a hotel and many auto shops. It's inside a strip mall so traffic is not affected by people waiting in the drive thru line.Its service is fast and efficient as it has 3 baristas plus the kitchen team. It only has 3 tables outdoors but plenty of seats inside. It offers all-day breakfast items like other Starbucks locations. The difference for me is it opens early (4:30am/5:30am) and closes at 7:00pm. Yeah This might become my neighborhood Starbucks place.“
“We waited over 20 minutes for a honey mint tea and a pumpkin spice latte. After 20 minutes, my name was called, and there was only 1 drink. I showed her my other drink, and she responded,'You already picked it up.' EXCUSE ME?I've been standing here waiting. Are you accusing me of lying? She said, 'Well, I guess I will make another one.' ..... then I get to my truck and the tea wasn't even made right!Now I remember why we don't come to this location. Next time I will wait until I get to Target.“
“Really love this bakery. It’s self serve for the pastries and cake and coffees behind the counter. They always have seasonal themed items. Love the mochi donuts and anything with fruit like the strawberry cream croissant and lemon cream cronut. Lots of savory as well that I haven’t tried yet. Coffees are yum and they always have a special flavor like cookie butter or nutella.“
“One older lady didn't realize her voice was carrying through the entire cafe, so everyone heard her conversation about post partum issues her younger relative had, unfortunately. There are very few outlets for laptops, so if you're planning to work/study, come with your laptop fully charged and be prepared to leave your device plugged in next to someone else. Coffee was good and staff were very friendly and kind.“
