Moonwake Coffee Roasters

I recently visited the new coffee shop on Saratoga Ave and was impressed! The location is convenient, though parking is limited on the plaza but plenty of street parking. Once inside, I loved the spacious, airy interior filled with natural light and lush plants—perfect for a relaxing coffee break. I tried the cardamom orange latte ($8.20 with almond milk), which was tasty, though a bit on the sweet side—but I expected that given the flavor profile. The pastries looked amazing, though we didn’t try them this time. Prices are comparable to other small, specialty coffee spots. One downside was the wait; we stood in line for about 10-15 minutes, but that’s to be expected for a popular new place. Another minor issue is the restroom—it could use more attention from staff, and a hook for bags or purses would be a helpful addition. Overall, I’d rate it 4.5 stars. It’s a solid spot, and I definitely recommend checking it out!

I came here on a Sunday morning before 9 am and there was plenty of space to seat. The place has beautiful interior design. I ordered a seasonal latte with marzipan and other ingredients since it sounded special, but my friend and I thought the berry sauce masked the other flavors. I also tried the drip coffee and it was good. But the really great coffee was from the fancy espresso bar. You could really taste the flavors in the description. So I’m giving them 5 stars for this espresso shots and for the savory pastries! The savory pull apart bread was amazing and the mushroom tart was also really good. The guava pastry was ok, but the other ones were so good that I’ll definitely wanna come back. They sell sell coffee beans for around $23/ bag. We hung out here with friends for a while and really enjoyed it. But I would recommend coming here early and on a day when you have time. It started getting pretty busy after 9:30 am and the line was long. Also don’t come here in a rush because they take their time, but it’s worth it.

Love their coffee. They roast their own beans. For espresso drinks, they offer different beans. I hope more coffee shops in the US start offering this!! I love that they have ceramic cups for dine in. Their pastries are also delicious. They are constantly busy! About 10-15min wait to order. But drinks are ready pretty quickly. They have a parking lot. The interior of the shop is modern and welcoming.

One of my favorite coffee shops in the Bay Area is this place. The baristas are expert artisans when it comes to coffee; they brew their own, and it really shows in the taste! They are also wonderful people. The atmosphere is great, offering plenty of room and comfortable lighting to work, read, chat, or just relax. If you love coffee, you’re going to love this spot!

This is one happening place. Be prepared for long lines but they service their customers very quickly. Coffee is excellent which is why the long lines. Interior is upscale with actual coffee plants in the middle of their shop. They roast on-site and you can see them roasting behind glass windows. Parking is difficult. Staff is very friendly. Definitely will come back again.

Pictures and a written review don’t do Moonwake Coffee Roasters enough justice, but I’ll make an attempt. Upon entering, you’re met with extremely pleasing aesthetic. The colors are calming, the vibes are modern, and there are cool people inside. I love what they’ve done with their space - it’s very clear they had the interests of their customers in mind when they designed it because it feels like you belong already. The chair I sat in was so comfy, and the owners came to say hello to me. There’s even a set of more shallow furniture for the little ones you might bring along. Now to the drinks purchased. I got their seasonal drink, Squash Spice Latte and my better half, an iced Americano. Both drinks smashed it out of the park. I loved that my latte wasn’t too overly sweet or spice-y and I could taste the espresso. They even made an iced chocolate milk for my daughter who isn’t of coffee-drinking age, she loved it. I didn’t get a chance to pick up any of their pastries this time around, but I know I’ll be back. Until next time Moonwake 🌖! PS- the bathroom is also extremely aesthetic and large!

I absolutely love Moonwake Coffee Roasters! Their coffee is exceptional, and I’m particularly fond of their iced pour-over—it's a rare find and they do it brilliantly. I highly recommend giving it a try! Another great thing is that their pour-over coffee is very consistent, always delivering the same great taste each time.😋

Hands down this coffee spot is the best in the bay! I am a sucker for quality coffee and small coffee shops. The ambiance, great coffee and flakiness of their pastries is superb. The cardamon latte and winter latte is amazing. The way they froth their milk or oat milk is what gets me lol. My previous favorite coffee place was Sue's cafe in Saratoga, Voyager and Blue bottle in SR but now it's Moonwake! Actually I think we're going their now, because I believe their open today :).

I had a great experience at the pour-over coffee bar. While there was a nonstop line for coffee drinks, the gem here is spending 1:1 time with the knowledgeable barista at the coffee bar to nerd out on coffee culture and equipment. You also learn about Moonwake's start as a coffee roaster. I noted they used Kinto mugs and an Akebono Sangyo coffee server. The price might be steep for a single-origin pour-over compared to other 3rd-wave+ coffee shops, but it is unsurprising given South Bay leasing prices. Ambiance is clean, modern, & pleasant, with a direct view into their coffee roaster in a separate room. Seating might be a challenge given the constant foot traffic. Worth a visit if you're nearby.

I always love finding new cute local coffee shops to hang out or do a little bit of work. The ambiance in here is so cute and I love the aesthetics. Very open and bright with lots of plants and greenery. Parking was readily available and there were a lot of seatings and tables if you want to sit for a bit. Though, the guest wifi was as bit slow. Nothing loaded for me so I just had to use my hotspot. I liked like the menu has a little bit of everything for everyone from pour over to lattes to matcha if you're not a coffee drinker. They also have a menu outside for you to look over if you're waiting in line. I wanted to be adventurous and went for one of the signature lattes - winter marzipan latte. It was interesting and the freeze dried raspberry on top really threw me off. The sourness didn't quite go well with the latte in my opinion. My cousin got the classic vanilla latte and everything croissant and he enjoyed both. Maybe I'll stick to the classic next time.

Great place to catch up with friends or get some work done! A lot of places aren't necessarily laptop friendly which I completely get because they are trying to foster a sense of community, but it's also nice to have a change of scene when trying to be productive so I appreciate Moon for having great working fengshui. Tons of tables, music wasn't too loud, and the crowd was pretty calm despite there being a line out the door past 10 am (it was a Sunday so makes sense). GET THE MILO MOCHA. I'm Malaysian so this was a no brainer for me but milo is similar to ovaltine so it made for a nice, not too sweet bev that definitely caffeinated me. I also got the mushroom tart, something I've had previously and enjoyed both times. The last time I came I had the cardamom orange latte and that was equally bomb. They take their craft seriously and it's one of my favorite cafes in this part of San Jose. Very conveniently located next to Mitsuwa so you can grab lunch there after. The makings of a perfect Sunday!

I've had my eye on this cafe for a while, so I decided to do some work and catch up with a friend her. The ambiance is really chill, and the natural lighting makes it feel warm and inviting. Seating tends to get limited around 10-11 am, though. What I ordered: - Cardamom Orange Latte (oat milk): This drink was light and refreshing. At first sip, you'll taste the espresso, followed with a subtle hint of the orange blossom aftertaste. - Everything Stuffed Croissant: Pretty flaky! I'm a fan of anything with cream cheese, so I enjoyed this. While the pastry itself is pretty straightforward and doesn't have any wow factor, it's definitely filling and satisfying.

Very chique and modern looking place, serves great tasting coffee, unfortunately I had to be probably the one bad experience they gave out that day, and I didn't do anything wrong besides showing up to patron the business. I ordered a regular latte and they print out the label and place it on the empty cup then move it along the counter like a conveyor belt. 5 minutes past, my name doesn't come up, 10 minutes past, still nothing, 12 minutes past, at this point I'm seeing people virtually parking, getting in line, ordering, then getting their drinks and leaving before I get my drink. A little bit after 15 minutes, I realize my cup got shoved behind a carafe by the people working there and it was out of sight of the barista, so they never saw it and never made it. I would have not caught this had I not been sitting on their counter seating area on the left where you can watch baristas front and center making coffee, and actually leaned over to inspect what was going on. I wave one of the baristas down to let them know that they managed to let my drink slip up. You cannot expect the customers to manage whatever is behind the counter, it should be a more orderly process so you're forgetting orders. Plain and simple. They did not apologize nor offer to comp me, wasting +15 minutes of my time. Also, I laugh at anyone trying to bring their laptop to do school/work here. Ain't no way you're concentrating/being productive on anything here, it's like a nightclub.

Sip Happens What started out as a covid lockdown side project has (relatively) quickly turned into a way of life for a reformed tech worker husband and wife team. They've gone all in on their home roasting and farmers market coffee operation into a full-fledged roastery and café in San José's Westside at the former longstanding 7-11® (RiP?). The Good: *Baked goods from SF's Neighbor Bakehouse (https://yelp.to/tXWUFbexw3) *Shared private lot, as well as street parking. *There's a Holder's Country Inn in the same strip mall so if you want to get some good ol' American 2k+/kcal breakfast after coffee then that's a decent spot. *Still appearing at the Cupertino De Anza College Farmers' Market every Sun 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. *Great vibe and ambiance, with simple modern décor and a buzz of jazzy lo-fi vibes in the background. *All coffees are roasted in house on the premises. *The flavors of the drinks were just OK. Nothing too sweet, which is good, but the flavors were kinda muddled. I wouldn't have minded more cardamom in my Cardamom Orange Latte, as I could barely taste it. The Meh: *50¢ oat milk tax =( *If you like your coffees tepid (at best!) then this is the place for you. Admittedly, I don't like it as hot as my beloved--who loves it lava hot!--but even my tender baby mouth could easily handle this room temp brew. *The employee at the register misheard me (slip off the finger?) and ordered the wrong pastry, as I wanted the Savory Pull-apart Bread, but ended up with Pistachio Berry Croissant. Which was whatever, I don't like to make a fuss, but they forgot about the order and I had to stand there for five minutes staring at the top of the barista's head as I was trying to get their attention. *Place gets very busy, especially on weekends, as we were there just a few minutes after opening and within twenty minutes the place was filled. The Ugly: *Speaking of the Baristas, the two I dealt with were very too-cool-for-school, which frankly kinda goes with the hoity nature of the business. Lots of berets and skinny jeans in the audience, if you follow my meaning. Conclusion: I get what they're trying to go for here, but something about it just seems a bit off. We've been to many great coffee shops around the country, and, sadly, this ain't one of them. Soft pass, but I might be back to try their matcha.

Excellent coffee, vibes, and service! I have had single origin Colombian pour overs hundreds of times at shops around the country, but this was shockingly good. I was hesitant at first since is was ~$12 for a cup and everywhere else charges ~$6 for a pour over. However, after I checked out and left to find a seat to work at, the barista came up and asked me if I wanted to smell the grinds. It was then smelling the aromas that I knew I was in for a really good cup of coffee. I have never tasted so many coffee notes so transparently before. I'll say in confidence that this was one of the best cup of coffees I've had. I bought a bag to take back home that was anaerobic washed lemongrass. They explained the process to me but I don't remember haha, but it was really good. I wanted to make sure I brewed it to their specs at home and they were kind enough to give me a little guide to bring home. There are outlets around the shop and the wifi was reliable, but not extremely fast or anything. I'll definitely be back, I'd say this is my new favorite coffee shop in the South Bay!

A cute spot to study. The interior design is really organic and makes for great Instagram photos. The drinks are delicious as well. I ordered a matcha latte and the matcha powder they use tastes like high quality. It does great fairly crowded though and some of the tables are quite small. I don't see myself coming here to study for a long amount of time or to work from home. For me, the stools, crowds, noises, and limited seating are uncomfortable. I came on a Friday morning, so maybe I will need to return on a less popular weekday and try their pastries.

Came on a Saturday morning around 9:30am and it was about a 10 min wait before we were able to order. We saw the line getting longer as time went on so recommend coming earlier. The interior is nicely decorated and has a great ambience for studying or catching up with friends. It has tables and seats inside and outside but spots fill up quickly. It's also pet friendly! I ordered the matcha latte and it was pretty good but thought the price was a bit steep compared to other places. I also ordered a mushroom tart which they heated up for me and it was delicious. I wanted to try their coffees too so I went back for another drink and ordered the winter marzipan latte. It wasn't bad but I wasn't a big fan of spices. Overall really lovely cafe!

Came here on a holiday and it was packed. The line was out the door and it was pretty chaotic in the cafe. Everyone was walking around waiting around for an open table/seat. It was a little stressful to find a seat. I ordered their orange cardamom latte which was okay. I did really enjoy their pastries though. The pistachio pastry with berry filling was really yummy. The curry one was also delicious. I want to try their pour overs instead of the latte next time.

4.5 stars! Moonwake is a beautiful establishment with great service and unique food & drink options. It's a bit more cramped than I thought but I was able to find seating pretty quickly at 10AM on a Tuesday. FOOD [4.5/5] =========== + Winter Marzipan Latte (4/5) When the raspberry fully melted in, it kind of ruined the drink for me because it became too fruity. I liked the presentation but wish I had realized to mix it in earlier so that it didn't overwhelm the latte at the end. + Potato Curry Borek (4.5/5) I really liked the taste of this! The pastry is super buttery and flaky. It was just a tad bit too oily. I also wanted a mushie pastry but alas they were out of stock. :"( SERVICE [5/5] =========== Very friendly, attentive, and quick!

+Food: The sarsprorilla (iced) is delicious and creamy with subtle sarsaparilla flavor. The pull apart bread hit the spot for a light breakfast. The mocha and pain au chocolat were satisfying and well executed. +Service: Efficient and friendly. The line was short, and we got our food in 6 minutes, even on a bustling Friday morning. +Ambiance: The cafe was busy when we arrived, but we managed to find seats at the large communal table. Love the wood on the table! The decor is sleek and stylish. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more items on their menu!

Super modern and sleek cafe. Inside is quite large and decorated nicely with plants for a serene environment. People come to work, study, and relax. We ordered the orange cardamom latte and winter marzipan latte. I enjoyed the marzipan latte which had a subtle nutty flavor. The orange cardamom was a little watered down.

I recently visited the new coffee shop on Saratoga Ave and was impressed! The location is convenient, though parking is limited. Once inside, I loved the spacious, airy interior filled with natural light and lush plants--perfect for a relaxing coffee break. I tried the cardamom orange latte ($8.20 with almond milk), which was tasty, though a bit on the sweet side--but I expected that given the flavor profile.

One downside was the wait; we stood in line for about 10-15 minutes, but that's to be expected for a popular new place. Another minor issue is the restroom--it could use more attention from staff, and a hook for bags or purses would be a helpful addition. Overall, I'd rate it 4.5 stars. It's a solid spot, and I definitely recommend checking it out!

Hot new coffee place in the bay! On weekends, definitely come early or there will be a crowd and likely no seating (unless you stalk someone til they leave). Their coffee is delicious and they have lovely seasonal flavors, but their stuff is definitely pricey. There's no real "food" here, but they have an assortment of pastries - both sweet and savory. Every pastry we tried so far was tasty and we enjoyed them all, but the mushroom tart really wowed me since mushroom can be a pretty strong flavor, but it was just enough savory to bread ratio and very filling. Definitely recommend this one, as well as the savory pull apart bread -- both very tasty. I personally prefer savory pastries to sweet, but the strawberry guava pastelito, honey financier, and pistachio berry croissant were also solid. I've tried a few of the lattes now and they were all tasty, but not too strong of a coffee flavor for the price, so opt for their pour overs if you want just coffee. Overall, Moonwake is a lovely and clean hangout spot for coffee but I definitely wouldn't come here to wait in a line that was more than 5-10 minutes long. Parking should be decent given its in a shared lot, but may fill up when they are busy. Some nearby residential streets should be fine for parking as well.

I have been so excited to try this new cafe and I definitely think it's worth checking out. We got 2 iced matcha lattes, a savory pull apart bread, and an everything croissant. I'm familiar with these pastries since a couple other cafes have the same food vendor but that just means I know it's delicious! The space is a decent size but it can get crowded so finding seating can be difficult. We got lucky and found a table when another group left after placing our order. The matcha latte was good but I think it's a bit expensive. It's $7 for about 12oz. Not sure if I would come frequently due to the price but it is a nice spot to go every now and then.

A very popular coffee shop that people like to get some work done or even hang out! I tried their iced vanilla latte and it was decent. Nothing stood out too much. I am interested in trying their hot matcha latte! Get here early in the morning to beat the crowds and get seats. It was packed on a Saturday afternoon.

Happy New Year! Hands down this coffee spot is the best in the bay! I am a sucker for quality coffee and small coffee shops. The ambiance, great coffee and flakiness of their pastries is superb. The cardamon latte and winter latte is amazing. The way they froth their milk or oat milk is what gets me lol. My previous favorite coffee place was Sue's cafe in Saratoga, Voyager and Blue bottle in SR but now it's Moonwake! Actually I think we're going their now, because I believe their open today :).

Highlights: & Crowded Sunday afternoon & Relaxing ambiance & Good croissant & Will be back again! Food: Maybe I didn't see it in time, though I checked the website to see what food they had on the menu. I didn't see food listed, but they definitely have some baked goods. I don't know how it's listed on the menu at the store (if there is one), but we got a square croissant with a savory curry filling. This was pretty good. The decaf mocha was good too. Overall good/drink is a good 4 stars. Ambiance: Really we went to this coffee shop to hang out and it delivered on ambiance. It was expectedly crowded since it was a weekend, tho we were able to find a seat. Most folks seemed to take their coffee to go, so whole there continued to be a steady line, the seats slowly opened up. Customers were generally courteous of each other and it made for a great environment. One thing I appreciated was that the music was not loud at all. At times I listened to the ambient noise of the crowd. There was a positive vibe so it was fine. Later I put in my basic headphones (the kind that does NOT have noise cancellation) and I was able to hear my music. Service: Service was all around good. They had great staffing levels especially given the crowd. The only yellow flag I noticed was that I got a "clean" fork from the staff (who had to go to the back to refill silverware) and the knife I received still had residue. My guess was that this was because they were so busy. Context: First time here

Such an aesthetically pleasing coffee shop! I have heard so many good things about the matcha at this location. I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk. I'm very picky when it comes to matcha, and this spot met my standards, the matcha flavor is definitely there. However I wish I added extra simple syrup as I like my matcha on the sweeter side. It was still enjoyable. I grabbed a mushroom tart and that was phenomenal! I loved how the flavor of the mushroom, cheese, and green onion blended well together with the flakiness of the pastry. The service here was very quick and baristas were very friendly. The uniqueness of their menu makes them stand out from any other coffee shop in the area!

Bustling cafe with a nice, spacious interior and great variety of drinks! I loved how fragrant the cardamom and dried orange were in my latte. The marzipan one was kind of plain in comparison but the sprinkle of freeze dried raspberries was a nice touch. The mushroom danish was really good, with a thick layer of mushrooms and cheese in the center. The potato curry croissant was also tasty but with a bit of a soggy interior. We went around 11am so I'm thinking that the moisture from the curry had soaked into the pastry. The curry itself was pretty mellow. I really liked the interior decor, with nice furniture, ceramics, and glassware. We got to sit at the bar where they do the pour overs and it was cool to see their process on display. Shout out Aiden. Next time I want to get an iced pour over!

I've been meaning to come here for ages, but finally got the chance Christmas Eve. I checked their Instagram and was happy they posted their Holiday Hours there. It wasn't too crowded around 10am, but after getting our coffees and sitting down, a short line started forming. I loved the orange cardamom latte! The decor is super cute as well.

I'm going to be honest, I came to this place because of TikTok. Upon entering, it was super busy where the lines were out the door. Theres some seating outside but definitely lots of seating inside. I will say coming on a weekend around 12pm, all the seats were taken and the atmosphere was super loud. For those who are looking for a place to study, this place is good but limited outlets. It seemed like the outlets were more on the far left side near the walls. They offered a variety of coffee and pastries which is cool. My husband tried the cardamom orange latte and he said it was delicious. The drink itself reminded him of like a Philz drink where it was really creamy and sweet. I tried the vanilla latte and it was good. The vanilla wasn't a strong taste so it tasted more like a regular latte. Overall, I think the vibe of the coffee shop is cool, but maybe a little too over hyped because of tik tok.

I really loved this place. I came in today to get some work done and the ambiance is beautiful. The owners did a great job establishing this space. Everything about it is perfect. I tried their seasonal latte, it was a winter marzipan latte and it was great! I would definitely recommend trying it hot. I also got their potato curry croissant and that was delicious as well. It was very filling and flavorful. My only feedback would be that there isn't a lot of outlets and it is pretty loud. So while it's great to get some work done I wouldn't recommend if you have a meeting. It's perfect to catch up with some friends. I think they're set up is really unique, they had a pour over coffee bar and you also get to see them as they grind their coffee in house

Came here to catch up with a friend and was pleasantly surprised to see they source their baked goods from Neighbor Bakehouse. It's one of my favorite bakeries in SF, so when I saw the items, I had to snag them! I wanna gate keep so bad, but the best items are the financier and borek (you're welcome)! I ordered a vanilla latte and it was satisfactory. They do have seating; however, if you're coming to study, I would try to come earlier to grab a spot that has an outlet/ample space to set up. But to simply grab coffee and spend quality time with a friend, it's the perfect spot! We arrived on a Tuesday during lunch hour and had no line and the business was about half-full. I heard it gets pretty packed on the weekends though. Parking is pretty chill on a weekday. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for coffee on a weekday!

I visited Moonwake during soft opening & both times I've gone, the service was amazing! The baristas were nice and welcoming, and gave different drink recommendations that were great! The orange cardamom latte was great! Super delicious with just the right amount of sweetness and the warmth of the spice. I wanted to write this review after soft opening ended--both times I ordered the matcha latte, but the taste had completely changed for me. Not too sure if it was because of different preparations or new workers, but because I was expecting the same quality from soft opening, I didn't expect what the current matcha latte looked or tasted like! I also wanted to note that I ordered in for my second time around and out (take away cup) during soft opening. I think the matcha ratio was stronger during soft opening, which I loved! I could really taste the matcha flavor with just a little hint of sweetness, which was perfect for me! The color was also great & the picture below reflects that. However the second time I ordered this, the color was a bit more yellow than expected in comparison to my first time. I noticed that the matcha preparation was done in a bottle rather than hand whisked, which is just something to keep in mind if hand whisked is something you expected. I definitely understand the store was super popular and busy in the mornings, so I totally get the prep work. Personally I would rather wait a couple more minutes for my drinks to have the same quality & consistency as it did during soft opening. I loved Moonwake and wanted to come back for that matcha latte I had the first time around during soft opening! Not too sure if this was just a change of preparation or just a one off thing, but it would be nice to be more consistent in the ratio and quality of the drink! Overall a lovely place with a beautiful interior and busy atmosphere, but it would be nice to have a bit more consistency with the drinks! :)

New coffee shop in the area and the aesthetic looks pretty good, with decent amount of sitting. Their latte was pretty good! Rich and very fragrant! Even the place was quite busy on a Sunday morning, there's plenty parking places by the street. The coffee also came out fast. I would recommend checking it out!

Our first time trying this wonderful new coffee shop on Saratoga Avenue. The setting is modern and has a great vibe, was packed with people when we arrived there midday on a Saturday. We ordered an Americano and a latte along with savory and sweet rolls. It was a little packed and difficult to find a seat right away, but we were able to manage and find a table within five minutes. The coffee was perfectly prepared, and the beans were definitely high quality. The rolls were extremely tasty and we will try different ones in future.

First time coming here! It was so busy and full of life. I love the vibe and all the plants and the layout in general. The service is great as well (Chris helped me and he's wonderful)! They have really good pastries and their coffee is good (next time I'll try to the dark roast) and I got their mushroom pastry which is really good! However, they didn't have any vegan options for the pastries which I hope they can include in the future. 10/10 recommend this place.

Modern, aesthetic cafe with a line out the door on a Wednesday - it must be good! (Granted, it's the day before Thanksgiving so it's possible many people have the day off) Ordered a super basic drink - vanilla latte with oat milk. The drink itself was much smaller than the average latte at a cafe, and for $7.66 I was a bit disappointed. However the flavor profile and quality is solid so I guess that makes up for it.

I was recommended Moonwake Coffee by a friend, so I had high expectations. I made a mistake of coming Sunday after lunch -- parking took some time to find since the lot is shared with other stores. though the line wasn't long, but it moved slowly. the workers are passionate for coffee so when they explain their coffee and the process it took longer than expected. Then place was packed! It was hard finding seats and it was too loud to have a conversation. The coffee itself was excellent. I would come again but it'll probably be to-go unless I come at an off hour.

Moonwake is so cute! Great ambiance to meet friends or get some work done. This is my friends' favorite place to get coffee in South Bay. Sarsprorilla float is a nice creamy coffee once mixed. I really enjoyed mine. Also loved the curry potato bourek pastry. Tried some of my friend's everything stuffed croissant and it was good as well. She enjoyed her pour over a lot.

Super cute space with beautiful interior design! Love the display shelf of different v60 setups behind the counter. This is a great place to catch up with friends, a first date, or getting some work done. Got the fall squash latte and my mom got the lager typica (peach notes!). Also tried the mushroom tart (think savory danish). Employees are super respectful, friendly, and accommodating. The barista asked if I wanted to smell the freshly ground beans which was a pleasant surprise! I was expecting just a mug for the pourover, but they served it on a tray with a separate mug with a laminated card of the beans. The latte art was also beautiful for my drink. Definitely want to come back to try more of their pastries and drinks!

All together a nice place . Me and daughter #2 wanted to try out their coffee so we drove over on a Saturday afternoon . Lots of pie pops in that place . Decor is nice and people seem to go crazy for the matcha - we tried the americano (was ok 3.7/5) and ice mocha which was also ok(3.5/5). Pastries were looking interesting but the variety is quite small . Maybe next time , if they have the guava pastry (they were sold out of it)

Ever since this place opened, it has become a favorite spot for coffee! Great space to work or hangout, easy parking, unique specialty lattes and great service. My favorites are Cardamom Orange Latte and Fall Spice Latte. They are great roasters too. Friendly baristas, great coffee shop, definitely recommend it.

Experience (4/5 stars): *Drinks: Espresso tonic was refreshing! Saw mixed reviews on the Fall Squash Spiced Latte so was kind of nervous. It ended up tasting fine, on the lighter side in terms of sweetness and flavor *Price: ~ $7 *Ambiance: spacious inside but gets crowded Overall, I'd recommend coming here for coffee! Make sure to come early if you're looking to get some pastries.

What I got : Cardamom Orange Latte : 3/5 Butter Croissant :4/5 I felt like the latte had a strong cardamom flavor but was missing the orange. I feel like there was an acidity at the end of the coffee though. But i'm not sure if that was because of a coffee or because of the orange. Croissant was good, better than a Costco croissant so I guess it was worth the price? I don't know lol Me and my friends came in at 1pm, they ran out of pour overs! Also, the way that they have the entrance set up kind of annoys me because it's like the line to go in blocks the entrance because one doors used for exit the other ones used for entrance. Interior looks nice though, but I wish there was more seating.They at least have outdoor seating.

Really busy on a weekend morning, hard to find parking so I recommend coming early or after the crowds die down a bit! The line did go by really quickly and the service was friendly! Honestly the coffee was just okay (and a bit pricey for the size). Would be willing to give it another try if I'm in the area, and there were seats available (there's actually a ton of seating but every single seat was taken!)

The coffee is very reasonably priced for the quality and care you get. I usually judge the quality by a , Cap or pour over. My boyfriend got a plain black coffee and I got a cap. The milk and espresso was an incredibly smooth blend and the pour really allowed the sweetness of the milk to shine through the flavorful espresso. +1 for the super cute latte art added on I hope the quality and care stays consistent long term. In my opinion, this is one of the best specialty coffee spots in the bay right now.

(Ryan Reynolds voiceover) The vibe is super mega bustling cafe! Kei warmly greeted us. He recommended the Cardamom Orange Latte. Light flloral notes make it soooo good and gourmet! The orange garnish...wow! The Winter Marzipan Latte. Creamy. Dreamy. And the Raspberry! The Raspberry is the artisan key! Strawberry Guava Pastelito. I cannot get enough of this fabulous pastry! The Pastelito is fabuloso! Savory Pull Apart Bread. This is the absolute most fabulous pull apart bread I have ever had! And yes, ladies I have had many. This one has savory bits and poppy seeds deep inside. And the flavors are AMAZING! The artisan coffee creations, the warm service, the fabulous pastries, and the aesthetics are soooo spot on! Moonwake! Hoorah! Will be back! Thanks, Kei! Woohoo!

Came here around 12:30 on a Saturday. It was busy but there were a couple tables open. I ordered the sarsaparilla float and it came out quickly. The sarsaparilla flavor was quite light, and I mostly enjoyed how creamy the drink was. I will say it was a tad loud in the cafe - not to the point where I had trouble hearing my friend, but it may be distracting if you are trying to work.

The interior design is beautiful, the pour over cups behind the counter is very appealing too and it shows they're focused on their craft! At the back of the coffee shop is a transparent window where you can watch them process and weigh their coffee beans. They source some top notch coffee beans which may be important to a lot of coffee enthusiasts. Their menu may be small, but I'm guessing it's to emphasize quality. I ordered their seasonal iced spiced squash latte which tasted amazing. I should've ordered it hot because I enjoyed every little sip of it. I didn't like the iced milo mocha that much because the milo was subtle and I could hardly taste it. Overall there's plenty of parking, but I heard it gets hella busy in the morning. The reception is good, but they also provide you with free Wi-Fi! I'll come back to try their pastries, I haven't had the chance to try them as they were sold out (I came around 2pm).

Great place to WFH if you come before the morning rush - limited amount of outlets so come with your appliances fully charged. Wifi is good/standard, can be kind of slow at times - but otherwise, reliable. There's plenty of seating, mostly for pairs - so if you're a group, come early to grab a couple of spots. There is an available restroom in the back for customers. I got the Fall Squash Spiced Latte with Almond Milk (alternative milk was an additional 50¢ - for oat/almond), and while I enjoyed the coffee taste, it wasn't my favorite drink. The butter croissant was warmed up, perfectly buttery and flaky. Both were a bit overpriced, in particular the drink (for the amount you get), however if you're spending a good extended amount of time at the cafe shop, I can see how it's worth it. My friends also got their Cardamon latte (iced and cold), but we weren't a fan either. The shop itself is in a small plaza, with ample parking. The place is really nice and the service is GREAT. I'd love to come back to try out their other drinks.

I'm super late to the party! Moonwake is an amazing coffee shop with a beautiful, unique interior and bold, nutty coffee flavors. I ordered a latte with almond milk, and it was fantastic. Pricing is competitive to the other specialty coffee shops in the area. It's definitely a place I'd return to. Conveniently, it's located next to a strip mall with plenty of parking. I'll have to check in again before giving it a 5 star review.

MY NEW FAVORITE IN BAY! This is perfect for both coffee lovers and remote workers looking for a cozy, productive spot. I tried the mocha and cardamom orange latte, and both were perfectly balanced--rich, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The real showstopper was the sesame croissant--flaky, buttery, and so uniquely delicious that we almost ordered a second one after the first bite!

Came here for a meeting with a colleague. Offer was great and so was the atmosphere. Wasn't as loud as it usually is. They roast their coffee on site too which is great bc I love the smell!

A great addition to San Jose! I have only tried their matcha, and it was delicious. I wish they had bigger cup sizes, because I definitely would love MORE of it. The lines are pretty long, but service is pretty quick. There's a good amount of seating, but on weekends, the store is usually full, even in the morning! Will definitely be coming back.

NEW COFFEE SPOT YAY! I had heard that Moonwake transitioned from a farmers market pop-up to a brick and mortar and was super excited to try!!!! The interior is relatively spacious and has a variety of different seating options/work spaces. It feels very hip hahaha! My drink also came out very fast despite the place seeming so busy. I ordered the seasonal squash spiced latte. Basically their take on a pumpkin spiced latte but with butternut squash i guess. I got it iced and with oat milk. The flavor was great and I love the creativity of butternut squash puree in a latte. Such earthy flavors and not overly sweetened. However I think the only downside is the drink just seemed so expensive for how much there was. I know I got oat milk and that does always add to the price, but wow I think this was a strong reminder of how expensive coffee has become... Paying over $7 for a latte is insane - even specialty :( But again, I know it's just normalized now and it really is a nice space and a good drink so I may come back to try other seasonal drinks eventually.

I was surprised by how busy and loud this cafe was at all times during the weekend. I came here to have a catch up session with my girlfriend only to find out that it wasn't exactly the vibe I like. It was so loud that I felt like I had to talk over someone to have a normal conversation. This has everything to do with the customers and not the cafe itself. I like the decor but I could find trash everywhere. Again, this had to do with the fact that customers were not cleaning up after themselves. The pastries were all almost all sold out by 2:30pm with only the plain croissant and chocolate croissant left. The coffee was good and the latte art was impeccable. I hope the crowd dies down eventually so it will have a better ambiance.
