Summer Moon Coffee

So good! I have no idea what makes the signature "moon milk" so good but it's amazing... It might be crack lol.

Seriously though, Summer Moon is a delight. They have great vegan options. Personally, I love the oat "moon milk" and vegan pumpkin muffins. The vegan hand pies are also very good.

I found this place a couple of months ago and things were great…until my visit today.

To start, I recently healed from a bad bout with Covid and pneumonia. I’m not the guy telling you to wear a mask or not. I do, because I almost died, but I don’t force my views on anyone.

My visit at this location today is part of a weekly tradition my family and I started recently. We go, every Saturday morning, to what my four year old son calls “Summer Moonwalk”. We get the same thing every time and sit outside and prepare for our weekend. I do wear a mask inside and I’ve always seen the same from the employees. They are handling food, so I’m hoping it’s both courtesy and common sense.

Today, as my son and I waited for my coffee, another man and his infant paid and left. The man was masked, but try putting a mask on an infant. I’ll give you a hint…it doesn’t work. So, as I stood and waited, I watched the unmasked young man making my coffee begin to ridicule the man for his mask and the choice not to mask his infant. The other girls chimed in, most wearing masks themselves, and they all continued to discuss the stupidity of masks. Mind you, I just survived a bad bout, so I was standing there in a mask out of choice, not because “the man” told me to do so. However, as representatives of a business, all of the employees engaging in the unprofessional conversation sounded horrible. Keep it to yourselves, but other customers are listening.
I too am tired of wearing it, but the anti vaxers and the anti maskers who keep spiking the numbers higher and pushing Travis County into a Stage 5 level are the reason I still choose to wear one. So, Summer Moon staff…your shaming of customers has lost this one. I’ll go elsewhere from now on.

My favorite brand in Austin area!
Try Quatermoon hot!!!

Tried the winter moon (an iced super moon) at the drive thru and thought it was absolutely delicious. The employee said that there is a secret 7-ingredient recipe and we suspect that the drink is composed of various creamers because of the similar viscosity. It was incredibly sweet.

Also had a taste of the mocha moon, which was less thick in consistency. I preferred this lighter, chocolates alternative and will probably opt for either the mocha or a half moon next time (a super moon thinned out with skim milk).

Love the coffee! Very clean place. Friendly staff. My coffeecake was good but it was very cold. I also noticed baristas have their long hair down.

Great coffee place to grab and go or just hang. Today they were off their game a bit which is why I took off a star.

Great coffee, and location. Improvements I would like to see: shorter wait time at the drive through, to get your Total at the speaker instead of waiting until the window (for us exact change lovers), and patio order/drop off service for those sitting outside with their dogs.
Highly recommend stopping by though.

I’ve always loved summer moon. The drive through was fast and team members are thoughtful to ask if you need a drink carrier if you order more than 2. The tacos were also wonderful (you can’t go wrong with taco deli for breakfast)

I love the coffee here and so does my wife. The moon milk is the best concoction for coffee ever made and you can buy it separate to put in your home brew

We absolutely love Summer Moon! DELICIOUS, unique, and plentiful drink options for everyone- including those with dietary restrictions. Plus they serve TacoDeli tacos in the morning!!! There is a drive-thru option and the staff is wonderful. For those who don't "feel too safe" when going inside and see customers seated and not wearing masks like they are permitted to do so, use the drive-thru. We are glad this business has remained open and we can continue to enjoy their amazing beverages.
