Mornin’ Moonshine

Of course — nothing but the best from the people who brought you Tuck shop! Fantastically subtle and flavorful infused coffee. Such a great addition to downtown NOT just another coffeeshop! SHOUT OUT TO LAURA — YOU ROCK!

Great spot for a quick coffee, latte, cap, and of course Japanese style cold brew. Good selection of pastries and snacks. Right in the heart of downtown PHX, they even have a lovely patio to enjoy your morning starter.

Was killin’ myself @ Cartel a couple blocks over, trying without success to figure out a coffee style that really clicked for me. Full disclosure: I’d just as soon drink Circle K coffee as the fancy stuff. Don’t get me wrong — I really enjoy the fancy stuff. But, if I’m gonna pay premium dollars for premium brews, it better darn taste premium.
Which brings us full circle to Mornin’ Moonshine. Decided I just couldn’t find the right fit at Cartel, so I stumbled in here one morning. Hot diggity dog, I was Goldi-​friggin-​locks, this was just right! Excellent balance and flavor out of their cold brew coffee, which you can see dutifully brewing away on the back counter behind the register. (The Cowboy Moon blend is my personal fave — a touch smoky, but still smooth, no crazy/​distracting Taste-​the-​Rainbow of acidic notes.) If you wanna get real crazy, they often have some cool cold brew infusions going on – orange and ginger, jalapeño and lemon, etc.
Look, it’s fancy coffee — it ain’t cheap. Sometimes my cheapskate self can dig that; sometimes I’m hittin’ Circle K. A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. But, for those mornings when you wanna #treatyoself, Mornin’ Moonshine will take care of you right good.

Cold brew with caramel is where it’s at! Soo good! Also, the bagels are the best bagels ever and you have a variety of options in regards to cream cheese.

Nice little place, great ambiance, coffee was great, pastries were fresh, and I was pleasantly surprised by the price (especially with free refills.) 5 stars.

Very good tasting coffee but it’s also a bit pricey for my taste. I paid $ 6 for a 20oz iced coffee. Nothing special just iced coffee with cream. They do have Almond milk for those who have lactose issues.

I really wanted to like this place better — cool vibe, downtown location, the barista was awesome, but… the espresso was ok, and… paper cups — no real cups. Seeing as it was National Donut Day, we got donuts (brought in from Rainbow Donuts) — they were just ok, too. I think if they got some real cups… and changed beans… they’d have a good shot a 4 star.

Outstanding coffee and a friendly place. Best coffee shop in all of downtown. Cold brew coffee is delicious and of course I always enjoy their standard espresso drinks. Regular brew coffee is darn good too. Love the design and friendly staff. Great meeting spot for downtown – just grab a cup and linger in the 111 W. Monroe building lobby or outside.

DAMN IT, Mornin’ Moonshine! I have many, MANY vices as anyone can tell by the number of bars of reviewed. The problem is that I am surrounded by enablers who make me drink, and smoke, and drink coffee. And now here you are, on the first floor of my building, enabling my coffee habit.
That’s right, all I have to do now is hop on the lift down to the first floor and there you are. Make no bones about it, I am thrilled as hell, and Sydney and the rest of the girls are a hoot. It’s always such a nice way to start the day with their smiling faces and of course, the coffee.
They served the same cold-​brewed coffee that is served at Vovomeena, so fans working downtown need now walk only a few blocks. I cannot bring myself to drink cold coffee. Even when it’s 120 degrees out I will drink my coffee hot. While I might have to bite the bullet and give it a try, for the time being I’m happy with my Americano.
Anyway, these guys have just opened up but so far they’ve given me what I want without a hitch. It’s worth checking these guys out in the newly designed 111 Tower.
