Summer Moon Coffee (South 1st)

Great customer service, great coffee, and great space. Simple as that!

Coffee was ok. May be just my experience, but the barista was kind of rude when I picked up my coffee from the counter. Unsure why, maybe they had a bad day, I don’t know. There’s too many coffee shops on Austin to have to deal with that, so this was my first and last time.

Love Summer Moon Coffee hate this location its small, dingy and dirty. Staff seemed annoyed and not welcoming, so unlike your other locations. Retrain and renovate please.

No matter what summer moon I go to, I am always extremely satisfied. Great service great coffee.

The manager or team lead for the day was awfully rude white mid aged woman wearing no mask and tone of voice was very disrespectful when I was picking up mobile order. I would never come back to this location because of their timing and also the unprofessional staff working here. When I have a name to follow up I will let y’all know it’s a Tue morning. Go to any other location but here.

Pros:
Super Nice Staff
Relaxing Feel
Music adds a Nice Touch
Has the 80’s Feel - dim lighting - not modern
They have Free Internet
They have tables with plugs
Overall great vibe
Overall seating arrangement is nice

Drink Quality:
Same quality of Spicey Chai as the Summer Moon on Burnet - Good but not as good as Whole Foods Spicey Chai. I order soy in mine just not as spicy as I like - little flat. I have been eating a lot of Indian Food in the past months that could be a factor.

Improvements:
Pump up the lighting on the bar side with some neon lighting - move more towards a bar vibe with warm light like a yellow or orange. Darken the rest of the area - maybe even paint the ceiling black. When you walk in you get more of a summer moon feel...light blue neon lighting? Oh and add a bengal tiger 🐅.

Remember this is just one person’s opinion 😉

It has a cool vibe, nice place to start a morning when you have friends in town. OH and if any of the decision makers are reading this more merch with black on black or black with dark gray, like the hat with the patch. A QR code under your WiFi sign for ordering said merch. It might be on your site let me check...it is hidden under the main nav. You don’t have to have the logo blasted white on black sometimes subtle has power. Especially in the design community. Nice place!

Coming back to Austin after 5 years of not having a Summer Moon Latte, Summer Moon is still my #1 favorite, probably in all the states! There's really nothing that compares to the smooth smokey flavor of the Velvet Blaze... which is their signature blend, and my particular favorite of all the beans they sell. I am so in love with their coffee beans. I can get them shipped to my home when I am not in Austin so that keep me happy. I would be much happier though, if I had some Moon-milk! ☕ 🥛

Amazing little coffee shop. Small parking lot. Friendly staff. Wide selection on the menu. Had the autumn latte and it was amazing. $2 for a tea, about $5 for a medium latte. Reasonably priced. They do have free WiFi and a fair amount of seating. Credit cards only at this time.

Coffee the best! Drive through line is always slow!!!! slowest drive through anytime and ever ever anytime!!! I wish people that would order more than three drinks or three things to eat would walk inside I think that’s the biggest problem is people with huge orders still go through drive-through‘s and it holds the drive-through’s app drive-through‘s are supposed to be for very quick orders. Do we not all agree if you have time to get 10 orders you should have time to walk inside and wait for them

My first true love. Get the 1/4 oat moon milk latte. Or the whisper moon of you’re feeling sexy
