Summer Moon Coffee

UPDATE: The manager from this location called me on the same day to speak to me about my experience. She was very kind and apologetic. I was offered a complimentary replacement for my next visit. The Blue Moon was perfect! I really do appreciate businesses that go above and beyond with customer service to “make things right” when mishaps happen. Thank you to Summer Moon for your prompt attention to the issue. I look forward to visiting again soon. :) I wanted to share my disappointment with the coffee I ordered this morning 7/1/25. I ordered a Blue Moon this morning on my way to work and was completely disgusted when I tried it. The coffee tasted old. The lavender taste that I look forward to in the Blue Moon was missing. The drink even developed a “milk skin” by the time I looked at it when I got to work. I am attaching a picture below so you understand my concern. I typically love Summer Moon and visit the Richmond location. This was my first experience at the Katy location, and I am disappointed, to say the least. I trust that this matter will be resolved quickly and appropriately, and I look forward to choosing your location as my preferred location near my workplace in the future.

This is one of my favorite coffee shops! They have so many good options and they usually will have seasonal flavors too. The moon milk is amazing! Usually will do half so it's not too sweet. They have lots of seating and a nice patio, it gets VERY cold in there sometimes so bring a jacket if you plan on staying long!

My wife and I decided to stop by to check some quick coffee and we stumbled upon this place. She ordered an Iced Blueberry Crisp Latte Full Moon and I ordered an Iced Apple crisp. My first drink wasn’t sweet enough and they happily mad e me a New drink. Overall wonderful Experience and great coffee and Drinks. I would definitely recommend this place and come here again !!!

Great spot! The workers are always super friendly, and the coffee is excellent; smooth, flavorful, and consistently well-made. It’s also just a nice place to relax and hang out, whether you’re working or catching up with a friend. One small suggestion: it would be great if they offered caramel as a flavor option. I noticed several people (including myself) asked for it, so it seems to be in demand. Still, that’s a minor thing, but certainly listen to the customers! Definitely recommend!

Wow! We had the autumn moon late, 1/4 moon for me and 1/2 moon for my wife. Excellent!!! Full moon for those with extreme sweet tooth…. The carrot cake and the almond croissant delicious!!! Will be back for sure! Baristas are friendly and helpful

You can’t go wrong with summer moon coffee and moon milk! Best latte you’ll ever try! I chose the full sweet option, but you can do reduced if you prefer.

Love the coffee and pastry . I have Been coming here for a few years now, but I have noticed lately that some of the staff is very unfriendly and unwelcoming . I was there this morning. I greeted the girl at the counter she looked me over didn’t even say anything, and I said to her again good morning for to even acknowledge me . The feeling that I got was like what do you want? I don’t have all day. . I think when you work at the counter you should automatically know how to greet customers. Overall, good coffee, but horrible customer service

I really like this coffee shop for their food, drink and atmosphere. It’s a really nice with a great vibe, music is not too loud and I have always been able to find a seat. Coffee is great too, I would agree with some of the other comments, the moon milk is a bit sweet. If you get one of their custom lattes with moon milk, you can choose the amount with ‘full moon’, ‘half moon’, ‘quarter moon’. Half moon is equivalent to a typical flavored Starbucks latte. The flavor is great but I couldn’t imagine going past half moon. The food choices are your typical pastry options but they are home made, large portion and honestly the best croissant I have had in awhile.

Summer Moon coffee is definitely on my top 5 places to go get coffee. There are so many coffee shops and cafes all over the Houston area, but nothing can beat the ones from Summer Moon. From their selection of Wintermoons and Summermoon drinks, I enjoy both kinds of drinks, whether hot or cold! Coffee is one of those drinks just like water, you can have it anywhere at anytime at your reach! I was first introduced to Summer Moon in Austin, and I was questioning at first if the locations in Houston is going to keep the same quality as when I had it in college. And they kept it all the same! Nothing changed and I still get to enjoy my wonderful selection of coffee from Summer Moon. Recently on a few visits with my girlfriend, we would get drinks like Quarter Winter Moon, Summer Moon and even the Moontado. We enjoy every drink and can't wait to get some more once again!

Summer moon coffee is what got me through living in Austin. I came here with a friend on Saturday morning and it was packed!! I ordered the half moon and it was good. The place is small and the seating is limited but there are tables outside. If you don't want to wait in a long line I would suggest ordering online since it's a lot quicker.

I absolutely love Summer Moon, to me they beat out Starbucks any day of the week. Whenever I'm in the needed for coffee I always search for Summer Moon. I haven't been to this location in a while, but I was in the area. The service was okay. There were only two young ladies working, one making the orders and the other taking the orders. They needed one more to take care of the rush that was coming in between 2p - 3p. They were doing a good job handling the line, though. I would mention, where the muffins and croissants were, there were a bunch of gnats swarming around in the container. It was gross. And to see them not even pay attention to it. I couldn't get a pic of the gnats on the food, but believe me when I say, they were there. And it was disgusting. If it was one, okay, but it was a lot. Needless to say, just stick with the coffee. If you are in need of the food, inspect it to be sure there is nothing flying around in there.

I have been eyeing this place, every time I drive by. From the outside, my significant other thought it was a coal, grilled pizza restaurant until we got inside (sorry honey). Interior looks cool and gave me an instant Austin vibe. Ordering was moderate speed but service is quite slow. I don't know who they decide get their coffee first. A girl ordered after me got her drink rather quickly while there was about 5 other people ahead of me still waiting for theirs. It took about half an hour before I got my half wintermoon. Mine you, the girl who ordered after me got the same drink as me so I don't understand why her name was called first, especially since there was 5 people ahead of me. Once I got my drink, I was rather disappointed. Am I missing something? It taste like regular milk with no expresso. It's the very few times in my lifetime, that I tried to drink it but end up tossing the whole thing away. It's not cheap either. Majority of the tables were dirty with limited parking spaces. This cafe looks like a cool place to hang out with friends or even do light homework or chill outside. Honestly, that's about it.

The iced blue moon latte is one of my favorite drinks now!! If you're not feeling coffee, definitely try this drink out. So smooth and creamy. The lavender flavor is just perfect! The drinks are reasonably priced, and the service is always consistent. This is a place I'd just come in and out of bc it is a bit small on the inside.

This was such a cute coffee shop! There was tons of seats inside and lots of parking spots. I got an iced spiced chai with oat milk and a butter croissant. They heated the croissant for me which was nice and it was tasty. The iced spice chai was delicious as well, you can definitely taste the spice! The service was quick and efficient, lots of staff members which was great. I would come back again!

Going to college in Austin, Summer Moon was a staple and trusty coffee shop for studying and delicious drinks. I'm so happy they opened locations here in Houston! I stopped by while visiting family for the holidays and needing a spot to get some work done. Ordered the Christmas cookie latte (1/4 moon milk) and it was fantastic. Chef's kiss. Service was also fantastic. Lots of tables to sit at. Music wasn't too loud. Overall great drinks and great vibes!

First time visiting a Summer Moon! Looks like a relaxing vibe to study or meet up with friends! The barista let me try the moon milk and then gave me a run down of the menu! And then gave me recommendations in what to get! The coffee was so yummy and came out so fast. We got the Blue Moon iced latte which had lavender, Summer moon latte which is a hot latte sweetened with their moon milk, and a kids hot chocolate. Happily pleased with everything!! I want to come earlier and try some of the pastries they offer.

Summer moon is addicting. I'm convinced moon milk is melted ice cream. I believe the blue moon is their lavender latte and it was lovely. The regular moon lattes are great too, with full or half going by how much moon milk is in it. Aesthetic is pleasant, tables available to study or meet up. Not in my top of aesthetically pleasing shops, but my no means is it shabby at all inside. Very nice, just not cozy, luxy, etc.

Went in for the first time recently. They were redoing the menu so I'm not sure as to how their variety is regularly. So I went to straight to the barista and let them know I needed recommendations since I had never been in. I just knew I wanted a coffee. They told me about their moon milk and how I could get different levels of it. I got a caramel blue moon. I liked the flavor of it, but I didn't taste the uniqueness of the moon milk in it. The prices were typical of coffee places like Starbucks and such. Think I paid $6 for my coffee. The place is well lit and clean, saw quite a few people in their with their laptops. So it could be a good spot to study or work from. This place was recommended to me by others, and they had told me about how they were offered samples of the moon milk on their first visit so they could get an idea of what it would taste like. I wasn't offered a sample so maybe that's why I couldn't pin point what moon milk would really taste like without the caramel flavoring.

I came to Summer Moon on a weekday afternoon because I needed a place to work for a bit before an appointment I had in the area. It's located in a small shopping area. Parking is a little hard there because it is such a small lot. Even at 10am on a Wednesday, the small lot was pretty packed. The cafe itself is actually pretty roomy and there was plenty of seating and easy access to outlets. There a a few 2-3 person tables lining one side of the cafe near the counter, and some larger tables that could seat 4-6 near the front entrance and by the back as well. I had read some reviews about their "Moon Milk" drinks and thought I would try one. I ordered a matcha latte with 25% Moon Milk. The girl who took my order had told me that the matcha latte was pretty "earthy" and if the drink with 25% Moon Milk wasn't sweet enough for me, she could add extra. I am SO glad I only got 25% because I think if I had gone any higher, it would have been way too sweet and nearly undrinkable for me. If I could have ordered it with 10% Moon Milk, I would have. The Moon Milk tasted like melted vanilla ice cream to me. It was very creamy, but also VERY sweet. I usually don't drink super sweet drinks so my palate may have just been very sensitized to the amount of sugar in the Moon Milk, or maybe it would have been balanced out better with an espresso drink (maybe a Moon Milk latte next time - with espresso - and not matcha). I didn't think their matcha latte tasted that earthy at all, and the sugary sweetness of the Moon Milk really masked the umami flavor of the matcha. I did like the ambiance of Summer Moon and it's a great place to get some work done because it's not very loud. But beware of their Moon Milk lattes if you don't do sweet drinks. Or at least start with a 25% and go from there. I've read other reviews that stated that the customer was offered a sample of Moon Milk. I wasn't offered one, but maybe if you ask they'll get you a sample and you can decide for yourself if you want to try a Moon Milk Latte or just go with a more traditional drink. I still think Summer Moon is 5 stars because the space was great, baristas were all super friendly, the service was quick, and they have a great selection of drinks and baked goods.

Austin helped me out today when there was issues with my card. I really appreciate the kindness and service of the staff at SummerMoon & i'll forever be a customer

The spiced chai is to die for! Delicious and probably the best I've ever tasted. Super nice people working there too!

Cool space. The customer service is cool and the coffee is good. I just wish they didn't sell out of pastries so quick lol. I'd come back here again though.

Fast service friendly staff, have great suggestions on what to try. The coffee was absolutely delicious it taste like a sweet treat. The environment was chill and relaxing. A great place for studying or a coffee date.

Went in on Sunday at around 530 and my mom wanted drip coffee, we were told they turn the machine off at 5(they close at 8) I wanted a matcha latte...they had no matcha. The place was dirty, counters and floors.

The first time I tried this coffee shop was when I was in Forth Worth back in 2018. This was before their Houston locations opened up. I love how their coffee taste so good. It's much better than any Starbucks coffee out there (you heard me!). I'm glad that we have had several locations in Houston for more than two years now where I don't have to drive to Austin or DFW to taste this amazing brewed coffee. The shop's ambiance is super cozy; you can study there for hours! It is that conducing to your studies here. The staff is friendly, and the service is fast. You don't need to wait that long for your orders! I recommend ordering either the summer moon or the winter moon coffee, depending on your preference, either iced or hot coffee.

The staff was super nice and very helpful. I told them it was my first time, and the barista at the register asked if I wanted to sample the moon milk they had, she said it was dairy based, I think. It was nice, creamy and sweet. So I decided to get the Winter Moon Latte, since I like really creamy and sweet coffee drinks. The coffee is super strong tasting, but the moon milk takes the bitterness away. I really enjoyed it. The inside is super cute. There were tons of people sitting at tables in their laptops. I really loved the vibes. I'll definitely be back!

Summer moon coffee is a prime spot to get your morning joe. Its a bustling place especially on the weekends so parking could be limited. The coffee spread is pretty impressive and there are your normal list of styles, and some signature blends and drinks. I also stick to their seasonal lattes. Pricing is decent and good for what you get. You'll also notice that they sell more than just coffee, but other memorabilia too like shirts and hats. Interesting for a coffee shop. They have plenty of spaces to do work or study but it can get rather loud in there. Their BEST asset they have is their AIR CONDITIONING. Its always blasting! AC is a must in this crazy Houston heat and this place does not skimp out. Its always sub 75 degrees in there and you'll probably need a jacket even tho its 100+ outside. Its SO COLD that the windows have condensation dripping on it from the outside. If you don't care much for coffee, this place is still enjoyable thanks to their AIR CONDITIONING to beat the heat!

One of my favorite coffee places. Great place to set up if you want to work in a coffee shop. Service is always great, I don't think I've ever had a bad experience.

The moon milk they put in their lattes is awesome. I've also had a moontado and regular cortado. The regular cortado was certainly my least favorite. I normally love cortados, but the cortado I received had way too much milk foam and it was really hot (cortados are supposed to be less hot than lattes). The ambiance is nice. I love the lighting and the interior design. The service is always great. The baristas are so nice. One time I even got a latte art heart on my to-go summer moon latte.

Gourmet pastry delivered every morning from local bakery Very instagrammable spot with aesthetic lattes Try the 1/2 moon. It's a latte with their house made sweet cream exclusive to summermoon like a secret syrup recipe

Finally came in to check this place out and it's amazing!!! The baristas are nice, wait time was fair, and coffee tastes amazing. The ambiance is really nice, plenty of seating inside and outside, but loud. I'm not sure I would sit down and work here without losing focus. Price is the typical coffee joints. $6.15-$6.55 for a large latte. I ordered the 3/4 summer moon latte and it was very sweet. I will try 1/2 summer moon latte next time. The moon milk in it is very creamy. I really enjoyed it but it's what makes the latte sweet so get less of it if you don't like your coffee as sweet and want to taste the espresso more. My husband got the blue moon latte and it was also good. The lavender taste is definitely there but it's not overpowering and doesn't taste like soap like when I make my own lavender lattes, ha! I would totally come back here!!!

The coffee is really good when they get my order right, which is only about 50% of the time. The baristas frequently forget to add syrup or the extra shot even when I order it and it's on my receipt. Generally the coffee tastes good which is why I continue coming here

Vibes = ohhhh yeeaaahhhhh Great little spot that I found today! Somehow, GM hadn't shown me this little gem on previous searches!?!?! Atmosphere at Summer Moon was spot on! The staff was extremely knowledgeable and provided sufficient assistance informing me of the offerings in the category of Ice+coffee+delicious. Typically I prefer something in the Americano realm for mid afternoon, or maybe a Matcha Latte if I'm in a rollicking spirit. Today I opted for the Americano, but was informed of "moon milk." So, there's no way I can order something without this new "moon milk" once informed..... Well, that was an excellent decision! Not too sweet, not too creamy. Absolutely perfect for that nice muggy HOU afternoon with abundant humidity! Coffee Aficionado that WILL be returning to Summer Moon. Check em' out!

Bring your winter coat...the employees wear sweaters and warm gear...it's inhospitable on the best day...

The quality of coffee is on par with other generic coffee, and this may be my personal opinion only.

The service was great! Very nice inside, and has a very chill vibe. Unfortunately, I did not like my Wintermoon iced latte 1/2 moon add shot expresso. It was extremelyy sweet and tasted nothing like coffee more like melted vanilla ice cream.

I was able to stop by here a few times after class with some friends and my first experience wasn't so great but the second time was a little bit better. I really liked the interior of this coffee shop. There is a lot of seating options and tables where people were studying at and I think I could see myself studying here as well (: The first time I came I asked what the difference between the Matcha Moon and the Regular Matcha was and it was "Moon milk" lol I think they put vanilla into their milk for the moon milk or something. So I got the Matcha Moon but I didn't want it too sweet so I asked for vanilla syrup but only half the amount they usually put and then for Soy milk. They don't carry soy but all other non dairy for some reason which sucks :( I went with Oat milk and omg I know Oat milk is an upcharge but my total was almost $8 for a 16 oz.. yikes starbucks isn't even that much :( I finally got my drink and it was very underwhelming. It tasted like watered down milk with a hint of matcha. I don't think the oat milk was shaken before pouring? idk anymore.. I didn't think I would come back after this but I decided to give it another try. Second visit- I came back to try something different that my friend got the first time and said she really liked- Espresso Milkshake. Okay that sounds good! I did remember it coming with chocolate sauce in it so I asked for only 1 pump of chocolate and it was pretty good! I didn't taste that much espresso but it was okay because it was a blended ice drink. The drink was a good consistency and I was happy that I found something that I liked the second time I came.

We've been here a few times and thought I'd already done a review......Wood fire roasted coffee beans...yes please! Picked up another bag of their awesome beans, glowing ember...guatemala medium roast beans, oak roasted.....great beans. I've started a bean list for all the places i've bought beans from, that way I can try all of them. Summer moon's list is en fuego, velvet blaze, inferno.....i'm starting to sense a theme. All of them have been amazing. Wifey always gets a frozen blended coffee drink and the baristas do an awesome job, I enjoyed a hot cappuccino. We'll be back for more.

Seating is very limited. Too many people using their computers and occupying all the indoor seating. They also have a very limited selection of items on their menu.

All the staff are young and doesn't know what's going on apparently? But I ordered a coffee and kolache which was so disappointing. They were doing more talking then working the table were very unsanitary. Then I opened my bag for a bite of my kolache and it was hard as a rock I told the front politely and right in my face one of the girl said "hard?" Took it out of the bag and felt how hard it was started whispering to another staff member about how cold and hard it was instead of instantly remaking the one kolache. The girl who made it look and me with instant regret. Of course again I tipped I don't know why. Won't be back

Really great quality for their coffee and food, very nice environment with good service and usually fast.

First time visiting Summer Moon and we loved it! If you are in the area definitely make it a point to stop by. We had a half moon latte, a cortado, and a nitro cold brew with moon milk. Everything was amazing!!! The half moon was a touch sweet for my liking but still tasty and enjoyable. To eat we got jalapeño sausage kolaches and a cinnamon roll, both were delicious! Cannot wait to visit again!

Parking is limited but I would still stop for the coffee. The service is great. The staff is friendly and attentive. I love the ambiance and color scheme of this coffee shop. It's so chic! I ordered a muffin and the summer moon coffee. I love the coffee! The muffin was good too!

I finally got around to trying this place after hearing all the hype when they moved to town however long ago, and man am I sad that I missed out this long. This place immediately rocketed to be one of my favorite coffee spots in town, especially for iced lattes. Their Wintermoon Latte is out of this world good - whatever is in that secret moon milk is beyond me and completely sets this place apart as somewhere that must be tried by all. As others mention, you can adjust the sweetness of your drink by opting for 1/4, 1/2, or full moon milk - for my first time, I went all the way with full and loved it, but can see where toning it back a little to 1/2 or 1/4 would take some of the guilty away, especially if this is your regular coffee spot. Since this was a trek and a treat for me, YOLO was the way to go. I also tried their Nitro Moon with moon milk, so that is a good option if you want a stronger coffee flavor with a subtle creaminess added not just from the nitro pour but also the milk. Excellent, friendly staff; good pastries; clean and inviting space....what more could you ask for? Oh, I know: please open a location in the Loop so I can indulge more!

Loved the iced Moon matcha and BEC Danish. Price point was reasonable , ambiance and customer service was great! I'll be back.

Top tier coffee shop! Not overly crowded though it did have a mid-day rush on a Friday. I went in to get some work done, and the ambiance was about a 50/50 split of people working and people chatting. Plenty of outlets. The barista was super friendly and explained all of their specials + their special moon milk with patience. I would come here again!

Went here twice already just to make sure! Had the Blue Moon which had a hint of lavender and the Autumn Moon which had "fall" spices. Both were good. Staff is nice and they don't over ice your drinks like some places. Cuppo Coffee should take some notes.

First visit tried the iced cold brew. The cold brew itself seemed fine with exception of too much cream. The price for a 20oz is 4.65 which is a bit overpriced when there are locations that are more volume at a lesser rate. However, I think this is a private establishment so i get it. Overall it's okay. I don't think will be my "go-to" but it's a once a quarter type thing.

The service as this local coffee shop was really good and the vibe was very laid back and friendly. I could tell they have some new people working, but they were friendly and eager to learn. I brought my boss visiting here from SoCal so we could do some work while drinking something fun yet different. We ordered the sweet and refreshing lavender-infused Summer Moon latte. We were both impressed! I would definitely come back here.

For years, I've favored other coffee spots until I was told about Summer Moon. A friend kept mentioning Summer Moon and their "moon milk". After deciding to try them, I was sold. I must say, it is the moon milk for me. I've purchased the moon milk itself and I can drink it straight. The moon milk is their version of creamer and sweetener (all in one). When you order coffee, you have options such as half moon or full moon. FULL MOON for me.

Came in looking for something sweet, but ended up getting a mixture of things. The overall atmosphere of the coffee shop was very nice, I can see it being a good studying environment. They have access to Wi-Fi which makes things easier and the workers are really nice and understanding. I decided on the Half Wintermoon Iced and a Blackberry tea of sorts (I can't remember the name). But in my opinion, it was very good and refreshing coffee. I can sometimes find coffee to be 'too sweet' but this coffee made me think very similar to a Vietnamese iced coffee and tasted really good. If I am in the area, I will definitely come by whether I need to study, need a place to relax, or if I just want to hang out and talk with a friend.

If you love coffee and want to support a local coffeeshop, you need to come here. The wood-fired coffee is so unique, love the aroma and flavor of the coffee, combined with the creamy & dreamy moon milk...oh my, you are in for a treat! They can also make the moon milk non-dairy with oat milk, this is definitely a plus! The barista is super friendly and helpful, greeted us with a big smile and warm good morning, gave us a sample of the moon milk to try (since it was our first time here), explained the menu and gave us recommendations, and checked in with us afterwards as well. What a pleasant experience! Made my day.

Ordered through the app two days in a row this week and both times my drink tasted a little off. Had already left and driven off when I had my first sip so couldn't get it fixed. First order was 1/4 wintermoon latte with almond milk. The barista had mixed up my order (gave me a hot latte) and had to remake it. Usually 1/4 is sweet enough for me, however could barely taste any moon milk. Todays order was 1/4 wintermoon latte and again, could barely taste any moon milk. I've had summer moon many times before. In Austin, at the Richmond store, at this one, and I always order 1/4 wintermoon lattes and have not had this issue before until now. It's just disappointing that I'm spending $8 and the drink doesn't taste good.

This was once easily the best coffee in Katy/Cinco Ranch area. However my last 3 visits have proven that, like many great starts, it's now only a shadow of its former glory. The once very well pulled latte is now ultra sickly sweet ala Starbucks. The once friendly and pleasant to talk to staff is now annoyed to be there, and certainly not interested in a friendly chat. As a bonus grievence, they have now taken to following the unfortunate trend of injecting politics into their decor. I know personally I've had enough politics for a life time in the last 4 years, and I'd just like a coffee without having more politics shoved into the mix. Suffice it to say we are now regrettably looking for a new coffee spot. Very sad.

Good place to swing by in the morning, has plenty of space and an outdoor seating part with gender neutral bathrooms. Great coffee with a ton of variety on the menu, great atmosphere, and great service.

So happy Summer Moon Coffee finally made its was to Houston from Austin. It's still a drive for me busy so worth it when I'm in the moon for some sweet coffee.

What a great addition to the Katy area. We made a special trip from League City just for a cup of coffee. We first started going to Summer Moon when we were visiting Austin on a regular basis. We quickly fell in love with the taste of their coffee. They wood-fire their beans. I do not understand the process but I do know that they taste delicious. Their "Moon Milk" is what makes their in-store coffee so delicious. We typically order the half moon because it is less sweet. You can actually order a full moon, three-quarter moon, half moon, or one-quarter moon. It depends on how sweet you want your coffee to taste. They also sell their coffee in 1 pound bags. Most of it is around $10 or $12 per bag. Velvet Blaze is one of our favorites. They also have pastries and breakfast tacos that are available for purchase throughout the day. If you fall in love with the place, you can buy T-shirts, cups, hats etc. Bottom line-An absolute wonderful coffee shop that gives proprietors a different option than Starbucks. In my opinion, the coffee is much better. If you have not tried Summer Moon as of yet, you should quit reading this review and go. Bon appétit.
