Triple Play

Pumpkin, and apple, and chai -- oh my! A triple play of fall favorites, available at both our cafe locations. 

We are currently featuring our Salted Caramel Pumpkin Spice Latte creation -- a unique, delicious combination of salty and sweet with a touch of spice.

And what would autumn be without crisp apple flavor? Our Caramel Apple Cider will satisfy your craving, undoubtedly.

Lastly, our homemade Chai Tea Latte has been quite the hit this fall season! Warm up with this tasty blend of frothy milk, black tea, and classic chai spices.

Season of the Pumpkin

Season of the Pumpkin

As the seasons cycle, we've brought our real pumpkin, real spice lattes back on line. So, you could just savor our pumpkin spice latte, made with real pumpkin and fresh spices. But, why not step up the flavor with our salted-caramel pumpkin spice latte? Now that's really grand.

Oh, while we're at it, we've introduced our own scratch-made Chai. Our Chai follows traditional recipes using ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, chili powder and cloves blended into rich black tea served with frothed-to-order milk. A special thanks is due to the Verma family from Crystal Lake for sharing their favorite recipes with us.

Chai is served hot or over ice. An off-menu dirty Chai adds espresso.

But, as summer wanes, we've bid adieu to our sublime, scratch-made lavender syrup. Feel comforted that lavender will be back late Spring 2016 to pair with honey or white chocolate.

What you're seeing evolve at Conscious Cup Coffee Roasters and Cook Street is our emphasis on freshly made products. Of course, that starts with specialty grade coffee roasted each week in Crystal Lake. But, every morning in the hours before we open, we're baking fresh muffins, croissants and Goldies scones.

Weekly we're whipping up chocolate, white chocolate and caramel sauces, and vanilla syrup for our contemporary espresso drinks. 

Please enjoy the differences of our fresh, hand-made delights make to your day.   

Sincerely,
Jack Shipley
Conscious Cup Coffee Roasters

Why We Threw Out Our Expensive Home Coffee "Maker"

Yes, we threw away our expensive home coffee maker. Oh, we have so many reasons.

But first, you might think that owning a coffee shop means we have easy access to the fanciest machines on the market. Well, our commercial machines are great but we’ve gone simple at home.
