I’ve lived in Crystal Lake for about 5 years now, and Breaking Bread has my favorite rueben, hands-down. Meat and kraut are what you’d expect, but this place really shines with the cheese and bread. Delicious melty swiss and fluffy rye with a nice, exterior crunch. The 80s dad-rock playlist is a plus for me, and my gluten-free partner highly recommends their celiac-safe options. Crystal lake staple.
Cozy little place in Crystal Lake. First time going there and I'll definitely be going back.
I had a pumpkin chai tea that was very tasty and a gluten free oatmeal creme sandwich. There were many gluten free options which is rare for coffee shops!
One of my favorite coffee shops in the area! No matter how busy they are, my drinks always come out fantastic and I never have to wait long. The staff is always super friendly and welcoming every time I come in. Also as someone with a dairy allergy, I’m very happy to see they carry Rosie’s Gluten Free Treats (which not all, but a good majority of products are dairy free).
This just might be my new favorite coffee place! The pumpkin spice latte was absolutely amazing! They have gluten-free items, and the staff was so so sweet!!
