Summer Moon Coffee Bar

Great staff, iced coffee was delicious. Store was comfortable and cool. Plenty of seats. Good wi-​fi

Awesome customer service, amazing coffee, and to top it off they carry Taco Deli Tacos.

The parking is pretty good and the location is very convenient. The coffee options are quite good… IF YOU GET IT TO GO!
I have been in here probably a dozen times and each time, their music selection is obnoxious, to put it mildly. First, the volume level of the music is always extremely LOUD. Second, the music selection sounds like very angry grunge metal rock: Screaming singers over the top of aggressive and wailing guitar riffs. A girl can hardly have a conversation not to mention hear herself think about what she might like to order. It is totally offensive to the ears!!! Add to the mix, a stampede of people during their coffee rush hours and the ambiance is totally loud and unenjoyable.
Unless you are actually at a concert, or a honky tonk bar, music is supposed to ‘season’ an atmosphere – not become the atmosphere and certainly NOT OVERWHELM IT as at this Summer Moon!
If I were the owner of this place and I walked in and heard their music selection and the volume to which were subjecting my customers, it would be a firing offense because it would be negatively affecting my business!
Set the dial on a nice downtempo/​chill/​jazz station at a low enough volume to be AMBIENT and simply season your atmosphere – then, glue the volume knob in place so the youngsters slinging the coffee don’t change it back to blaring grunge metal and crank it up.
Let your amazing coffee and the people enjoying it be the atmosphere – NOT the blaring, angry, grunge rock!!!
Pour mine in a paper cup and I’ll take it on the road… or, pop into a different café in the area for peace and calm to have a conversation I can actually hear…

The coffee was so so. My benchmark is Starbucks. A substantially higher price, that didn’t deliver. I did enjoy the TacoDeli breakfast tacos they had on hand, but also a bit pricy for a microwaved taco. That said, it’s location is convenient, the store is well kept and changes the scenery from a typical Starbucks experience.

I’m not sure if I’m happy or sad… Or scared! Lol You see, Summermoon is my all time favorite coffee shop. Ever. All over. It is a little taste of, well, paradise. They have (well, had, now) a location in Buda, which is where I went when I couldn’t take it anymore and had to have my fix… And there is one on Congress, I believe (South part of downtown… I’m not exactly a city girl, so I avoid this area). Then the strangest thing happened yesterday, though… I PASSED RIGHT BESIDE MY JOB and there sat… You guessed it… Summermoon… Seriously? This Is a joke, right? Nope. Not a joke. Not at all. This is the happy part. I stopped in here this morning and grabbed me a few goodies… Ahhh, pure heaven. Yes. It was. I asked how long they have been here… The response I received seemed impossible… DECEMBER. DECEMBER. How is this possible? This is the sad part. I’ve been desperately yearning for that wood-​fire coffee and moon-​milk or driving aaaalllll the way down to Buda to satisfy that desire. Lol. Dang. Ok. I know, now. That’s the scary part! Lmao.
So, now… In the words of Felicia Day… «LATER BITCHES» I’m going to get another refill! Ha.

Everyone there is so nice! I custom order drinks all the time and they get it on the spot. Moon milk is amazing! The moon Raker will have you up for days.

Decent location. Shared parking. The inside is absolutely unique and genius. Staff was nice. Menu was a little big for me, so it took a minute to understand and gather my thoughts as to what I wanted. After I chose, it was all gravy after that. Took a couple mins for my drink to be made. Grabbed a high seat at the tall table and enjoyed my $ 4 Mocha Late. Heads up, either you like it or you don’t (Starbucks addicts)

I’ve been here about 5 times. Recently to work and buy beans.
When I check out a real coffee shop I always order an espresso or a macchiato. No sugar. Just pure strong espresso.
It’s balanced and consistent. Crowd is good during the day. Lots of seating options. Leather chair, bar stools, tables with chars, whatever you want. When busy they do a great job of getting folks out the door.

My first time here & I love it! Definitely my favorite Summermoon location. I tried the 007 and my only regret was that I didn’t get a bigger size.
They have a ton of different pastries, too many to try at once. SIGH… I guess I’ll have to come back.

Seriously? Coffee has changed for me forever. Nowadays, I waltz into my kitchen on weekend mornings, order up a summer moon and then my husband looks at me like I’m totally bonkers.
I’ve been there about 3 times now, the breads are ridiculously delicious. Have I mentioned the coffee? No? The coffee is like playing with kittens inside of a rainbow. There’s nothing else to think about. Just go get your own

Perfect. Wood-​roasted coffee beans? O.M.G. I am ruined after having three different types of coffee drinks at Summer Moon on Burnet.
Oh, with the hot days coming up, you MUST try the Espresso Milkshake!

This new location is great! I’ve been to the original location on 1^st several times, but it can be hard to find a seat/​I find it kind of dark. This location is better lit and while the storefront is smaller, the layout is more open and I feel like there’s more breathing room. Level of noise is good — not too quiet so you can’t have a conversation but not too loud so you can get work done if you need to!
For drinks, my go-​to order is the half moon. Next time, I’ll try the quarter moon — if you have a sweet tooth, even a half moon may be plenty sweet! I like it both iced and hot.

Oh. Em. Gee. I think I finally found my favorite coffee shop. What is this moon milk medley that you have created?! I know it’s a secret so I won’t keep prying, but whatever this heavenly nectar is that you’ve concocted it’s amazing. I saw on Unilocal people rave reviewing about their summer moon latte so I had to try it. My bf and I snagged one each and I was totally blown away; it’s sweet, creamy, and actually ‘velvety,’ if a latte could ever be compared to that of a fancy plush couch.
I could handle drinking a summer moon latte everyday, but the friendly and helpful barista said that the half moon latte is pretty popular for those that don’t want so much sweetness.
The interior is cute and simple, it’s going for a ‘cool coffee shop’ vibe but is actually cool about it. So cool in fact that every single seat was occupied but someone on their laptop… maybe some more tables are in order.
Go order a summer moon latte.

My buddy Eory was in the mood for some coffee after lunch at Shake Shack, and he recommended this place. Knowing I’m quite a coffee fiend he knew I’d take the bait.
The place looks like a cool contemporary coffee spot, which is very nice. It sets them apart from your typical «too cool to look contemporary cool» coffee joints.
The staff behind the bar was very kind and gave great suggestions for what I was wanting to try. The hooked me up with an Espresso ConPanna and an iced coffee blended with their in house sweetened milk creamer.
The espresso was dynamite! A nice bitter sweet dragon punch to my tastebuds finished off with just enough sweetness to calm it down. Loved it!
The iced coffee was also a great surprise. It was bold but not acidic and the sweet milk cream did an amazing job of thickening it without making it too sweet. My buddy and I spent the next hour just chillin talkin while sippin our iced coffees. Normally I put these away quickly but it was too good to not enjoy slowly.
The mood of the place is mellow and relaxed. Definitely a place I’d like to visit again.
Best of all was the price! Normally for two premium drinks like that I’d pay over $ 8 at most other coffee spots but here it was just over $ 5 and that is one hell of a bang for your buck!
Highly recommend you check it out if you’re in the mood for a mellow place to enjoy premium coffee at a great price!

I love this place.
Delicious coffees of all kinds. I’m particularly fond of the winter half moon, which I inhale as if I had been wandering in the dessert for months/​starving to death/​dieting for a year. Rich and smooth and delicious. Even if you get it with soy, it doesn’t detract from the taste at all. I also really enjoyed the rich drip coffee. And all the baked goods, but especially that banana bread. Just take my money please.
I think the difference comes down to their beans. When you have well roasted beans and good baristas/​technique, you really can’t go wrong.
But really, staff is nice and work very hard. They never stop moving (I once watched them from the bar for pretty much an entire day…) and are excellent at what they do. The orders come out quickly and well made. I also love the décor. I love how plentiful outlets and chairs are.
Everything is great! Come here! Or actually, please don’t, lest this place becomes well known and I can’t easily waltz in and get my favorite coffee and sit in my favorite chair.

So, so happy that one of my favorite coffee shops has come North!
I love the mocha moon and now I don’t have to drive twenty five minutes to go get it :-)
I’ve had great experiences with all the staff I’ve dealt with. I love the design of the interior as well.
Welcome to the neighborhood, I’m so glad you’re here.

Stopped in just to grab coffee. The waitstaff was friendly and quick to help us, and were able to ask menu questions.
The regular coffee was good, the mocha latte was excellent.

I only spent about 5 minutes in this place waiting for a coffee, so I can’t yet give it 5 stars like I’d like to but it reserves a good review because it’s such a quality coffee shop.
5 Stars for Uniqueness… I ordered a Half WinterMoon which was sweet and delicious… Although I don’t know what Moon Milk is; I certainly like the theme ;-)
It looks like this is a new location (a second location) and very popular already. Most of the tables were full with people on their computers. I noticed not only the coffee bar (love that it’s a «bar») but also lots of yummies that I’m guessing some are gluten-free/vegan…They also had t-​shirts for sale. So the brand is a really cute idea.
I love the vibe and I would definitely come back.

Love the atmosphere of this coffee shop! I would love to sit down, relax, and enjoy a book here.
The first time I went, I got the winter moon with soy moon milk. The barista told me an extra shot with the 20 oz was free so I opted for another shot. It was tasty, but a little sweeter than I like my coffee to be. Glad I got the extra shot or else it would’ve been even sweeter. I think they have an option to add less moon milk to reduce the sweetness. Gotta opt for that next time!
I went with two girlfriends from work and didn’t have to wait long for our coffee. Awesome!
The second visit was only two days later. (This place is really close to work!) I didn’t want coffee so I got the tropical tea with two shots of sweetener. Very tasty.
I really like this place and happy that it’s near work!

What I really like about this place is their name. Cows say moo, but add that «n» and everything changes — moonlight, feels right, moon river, silver moon sparkling. And it’ll still be a marvelous night for a moondance, under a summer moon.
I don’t dislike the South 1^st location, it’s just tricky to park there and often feels cramped & claustro, in that «Keep Austin Weird» kind of way. But these are not issues at the new Domain location. And with a new Chi’lantro opening next door and a small step to that new Kor 180, what we have here is one giant leap for Millennials.
The menu seems the same, try something with the fabled «moon milk» at least once (it strikes me as really sweet condensed milk), and then let me know how you like the coffee. Sometimes I think I taste the wood-​fired process, but most times I don’t. What makes me a fan here is it’s consistently hot & black, along with a cool staff and my fifteen-​minutes of uninterrupted social media time. Oh yeah, under a summer moon.

Couldn’t be happier that Summer Moon has a location in my neck of woods in North Austin!
Easily in my top 3 local Austin coffee shops. It’s cleaner/​newer/​more spacious than their original location in South Austin – all pros in my book. If this is your first time here, have them add moon milk to your drink – you won’t regret it especially if you have a sweet tooth. Be sure to also pick up a breakfast taco if you are there in the morning.

If you like coffee and tacos and other baked goods go here. It’s the same as the south location, but newer and larger. Way more sitting space, and just space in general. They also have bathrooms inside, unlike the south location.
The moon milk coffee is a thing of legend in Austin and it’s finally available in north Austin. The tacos are brought in from outside, but they are delicious. The baristas are also a lot friendlier here than the south location.
Get a coffee here and you won’t regret it!
