Got the: Paramore - Honey Walnut Matcha with Brown Butter Salt Foam - and wow this was amazing. Suppose to originally be made with hojicha but they told me they got a bad batch of hojicha and said the matcha verison would be a good alternative. I can't even imagine how much I would have loved the hojicha version (hojicha is one of my favorites). Really made my morning when I got this! Sopapilla Latte - honey, vanilla, cinnamon - my 2nd latte I ended up getting when I was in the area again ha. Was great I don't think my research for some of the best coffee in town was wrong coming here. Interior was much larger then I thought. From outside it seems like a small shop in Mckinney. Only street parking available and definitely didn't help with whatever event was in town when I came with half the streets shut down with detours but you will still be able to find parking somewhere near I enjoyed this place quite a bit and would definitely come back!

The cafe was busier than anticipated and they were nice enough to open up their back room for us to meet in. I think you usually have to reserve it ahead of time, maybe at a cost (not sure), but they were so accommodating of us. It was my first time there so I had a few questions and wanted recommendations and the barista who helped me was so nice. She answered all my questions and didn't make it feel like she was put out. A lot of places give you the most basic, unhelpful answers when you as for recommendations. I ended up getting one of their fall sesame matcha drinks and a blueberry (?) bar. Bother were delicious. On top of that, it was complimentary because it was my first time. I will definitely be back because we like to make coffee runs on the weekend and Starbucks is not it!

Also nice that they carry quality flower. That is all located in the back. The front has offerings of coffee, tea, refreshers, shakes, and smoothies. I ordered the Pineapple Express refresher and added blue lotus mushrooms and delta 9. It tasted amazing. You can also add kava to your drinks as well! Would love to go back maybe earlier in the day next time and try their Rose Gold coffee. It sounded amazing!

They've carved out cozy seating nooks, tucked-in corners, and little pockets of personality everywhere you look. Think indie coffeehouse meets game night: puzzles on tables, interactive games within arm's reach, and an atmosphere that basically invites you to stay longer than you planned. I've only sampled the coffee so far, but wow--there's a huge lineup of signature drinks, and the one I picked was prepared to perfection and served with a smile. A fun, creative little gem...a must try!

Add in a small bookstore or bakery as well, and you're probably talking about 90% of a young girl's fantasy. Maybe it was just me... Yeah, what's not to like? Good coffee, a zillion plants, friendly employees, and a nice open seating area. Good place to meet up with a friend or have a solo study session like me. If this place was closer, I'd be here a lot more often. I ordered the cold brew with coconut cold foam (suggested by the barista) and it was good. So good, I ordered two of them and ended up standing in my car, vibrating all the way home.

The girls behind the counter were friendly and very helpful. After being told they don't have caramel, they explained they make all their sauces / flavorings. Intrigued, I ordered an iced mocha. It was very good!! I loved the straw being shaped like a heart. Little things like that, I absolutely appreciate. The entire shop in filled with flowers and plants. It's very relaxing and inviting atmosphere. This is a beautiful location to read a book, enjoy a cup of coffee, and their pastries. (( I didn't have any )).

This company needs to get people that actually want to work with sincerity because the people currently working there are going to put their company down the drain. The young girl with the pixie haircut was VERY RUDE & gave nothing but 'RBF" upon entering and while I was asking questions. I came in with the intention of buying a full pie but after the service that was given I walked out with nothing in hand and I don't regret it. NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN. !!!MY RECOMMENDATION: I ended up going to an ice cream shop located in the downtown shops as well that sells boozy ice cream (I believe it was called boozy cocktail) which I recommend for your sweet treat in downtown instead! This ice cream shop was far superior in service than the pie place could ever be. PLUS ITS ICE CREAM! Who doesn't love that more than pies!

We went in to see their pastry selection & they had a nice variety. I ordered a cinnamon roll & blueberry muffin. The blueberry muffin was moist and delicious per my husband & the cinnamon roll was super tasty! The coffee shop was clean and aesthetically pleasing. There's a drive through & patio area. The bad: we weren't greeted upon entering or at all really. The employees seemed to be in a blah mood. Maybe they too needed coffee? Idk. Idk that I will go back.

It's the perfect balance of creamy, spicy, and refreshing! And when I'm feeling a little extra spicy, adding a shot (or two!) of espresso takes it to a whole new level without losing that signature smoothness. My kids are obsessed with the Moon Glacier (no espresso, of course), and it's become their little treat every time we go. My husband usually goes for an Americano or their cold brew, and both are consistently bold, clean, and delicious -- exactly what he loves. Summer Moon just has that warm, inviting vibe that makes every visit feel like a small moment of joy. Great drinks, great energy, and something for everyone in the family. It's one of those places you look forward to returning to again and again!

Ordering is super easy using the self-service kiosk or by scanning the QR code, which takes you directly to the menu. This cute placed is owned by an incredibly sweet and young Korean couple.
