I've gotten coffee and pastries here a few times. I can't help but get the caramel vanilla iced latte every time because it is PERFECT.

I did buy a few drinks for friends and they liked them too. One tried the salted cold brew and his eyes almost bugged out of his head. 😂 He said that one was really well balanced too.

Their menu offers a variety of hot and cold coffees and teas as well as delicious pastries, desserts, and sandwiches.

The food offerings include gluten free and vegetarian options--there truly is something for EVERYONE. The drive-thru is a bonus as is the ample free parking. Thanks for always making me feel welcome, Sue. I've visited your stands at farmer's markets and am thrilled to have your new location so...
Read moreMy spouse and I had an hour to kill in Wheaton before an appointment so we swung by Activitea and we're so glad we did. A friendly barista recommended lavender lattes (photo). Delicious, light, and fragrant, I love that these environmentally-friendly, non-wasteful, cozy ceramic mugs are available upon request. Activitea has ten times the unique, local personality than bland global chains that treat you like a number. The inviting atmosphere is the kind of place you want to linger, breathe deep, and chill. Activitea tastefully features interesting local art without being overdone or cluttered. The perfect place to cozy up with a warm beverage, relax into a rich, satisfying, uninterrupted conversation with a loved one, and savor the happy pleasure of good...
