    Great pastries and such an authentic Middle East atmosphere! The space is huge, the decor is adorable, and it really feels like a fun place to sit and enjoy a treat. The baklava is very tasty! The energy drink has Red Bull in it btw but delicious. The only downside is that it's very popular, so it gets crowded and parking can be a challenge. Unless you get lucky like I did! Most of the spots are street parking, so knowing how to parallel park definitely comes in handy. Overall, it's worth the visit if you don't mind a little parking adventure! It's also very expensive! $20 for a pastry and a small drink

    I've had Laymoon Cafe on my list for a while and finally made my way in May. I arrived early, around 8:00 am and was able to find parking right in front. The staff greeted me as soon as I entered. Wow, the interior is stunning! The details are incredible. I love the mix of modern and traditional. The staff was great in helping me decide what to order. I ordered the following: Baklava latte $8 Spiced zaatar avo toast $15 Baklava $6 Everything was delicious! Though the tiramisu latte is their most popular, they use house-made syrup for the baklava latte and that's music to my ears. It wasn't too sweet either. The spiced zaatar avo toast comes with zaatar, feta, lemon, olive oil, and pomegranate seeds. The flavor was nice and light. I would have liked more avocado, especially for the $15 price tag. The baklava was phenomenal. I savored every bite.

    Strawberry Matcha, Caramelized Fig & Vanilla Matcha

    This cafe is so cute! There were so many tables that even though it was pretty busy when we went, we found a table no problem. Service was quick and we got our drinks within 10 minutes. We ordered a strawberry matcha and a caramelized fig & vanilla matcha. Both were yummy! The matcha isn't super strong but the fig flavor was really good so I didn't mind too much. Rating Caramelized fig matcha: 4/5

    Beautiful restaurant with great drinks. Comfortable vibe and loved the diverse clientele and Palestine items for sale. Great hangout for students to study or who don't want to go to the Bars. We ordered the rose cardamom latte (delicious), mint lemonade (fantastic), and lebneh toast. Wish they had more food. The lebneh toast was good but a bit overpriced ($12) for a slice of regular toast. Will return!

    WOW the ambience and decor here is immaculate!! I especially love the rugs on the ceiling and the curved seating booth nooks. They also sell some jewelry and other merchandise here. I wanted to try their signature drink so I ordered the caramelized fig matcha. It was delicious and ready pretty quickly despite the line. The interior is very spacious with lots of seating options. I would definitely come back here!

    Immediately go!!!! The cutest place EVER. I love it inside; the vibe and decor really transport you to a middle eastern cafe. Very kind staff and quick to make drinks and food even when busy. It's a large space with lots of tables and booths, and a little market area with jewelry, and other items to buy. Every single drink, matcha and espresso, sounded delicious. I ordered the iced tiramisu latte and zaatar spiced avocado toast. Both were soooo tasty and I would get the both again next visit. Beautiful place, great food and drinks, and Palestinian owned. Go support local and check it out!

    Laymoon has been on my list since its grand opening, and I've been waiting for the right time to give it a visit! When you step in, you see a community of people seated all around you. There are study groups, young and older couples, families, individuals working, etc. it feels very coworking-friendly, which is super ideal to me! Gorgeous interior and furniture with middle eastern accents. You walk through some boutique and local merchandise as you find the counter to order. I ordered myself a mango guava matcha. The matcha color was PERRRRRFECT and at first taste, you can tell it was going to be a good one. Once stirred, I got all the flavors, and it was actually heaven, you get mango guava summer goodness, and flavorful matcha to balance. For working: there's a variety of seating and plenty of outlets everywhere. Water station is by the counter. I'd come back again to work!!

    Laymoon Cafe is a fantastic spot; very spacious layout, plenty of seating , vibrant, welcoming environment. The attention to detail is evident, custom cups and free stickers. Although the drinks are a premium cost, you definitely get a premium product provided, making it a place I highly recommend to anyone looking for a sit down place to meet/ catch up with people

    I was visiting AZ last weekend and came across Laymoon Cafe. We only ordered Lattes but they were so delicious! We had to get another one on the way back to CA. The honey vanilla cinnamon latte with vanilla cold foam and oat milk is perfect! All 3 of us agree this is the best latte we've ever had. We will definitely be back!

    We came in as a spur of the moment stop while we, as locals, just walked around Tempe. The university is out, so maybe it was less crowded than other reviews, however we only waited behind one group to place our order. The flavors on the menu are a little more unique. Which, for me is fabulous. I went for iced vanilla, honey and cinnamon. Which was delicious. My husband ordered the salted caramel. When his name was called the drink was pink. He looked at the label. It's his name. He looked around, he didn't just grab someone else's drink. So, he says to the barista, I think this incorrect. Barista says with a smile, nope definitely not salted caramel. Let me get that remade! I'm not sure where the order went wrong but the barista just handled the mix up like a pro. It was so nice to not be questioned on what/where things went wrong. They just fixed it!

    Unique coffee shop with a calming atmosphere. I do recommend checking out this shop outside of the school year. During the school year, the lines are long and you will be waiting potentially 20 minutes or more for what you ordered. I got the rose cardamom latte with oatmilk and it was a fun unique coffee, I have not had anything like it before. The spice is perfectly balanced with the floral taste, and the drink itself is beautiful. I would recommend checking it out if you want something unique. I also got the pistachio Baklava. The baklava was perfectly coated with honey and had a great ratio of pistachio. It was so good I almost went back and ordered another one. I also got the Honeycomb, it was great and the honey ratio was perfect! Recommend checking out Laymoon Cafe!

    Mango & passionfruit refresher, lemon & mint lemonade, chocolate croissant
    Haneen O.

    Yay finally got to try out Laymoon! I love how their name is a play on words: laymoon means lemon in Arabic and I appreciate the nod to the moon, a symbol of Islam. Def wanted to come here earlier, during their grand opening, but never made it out to Tempe. I came from Friday prayers at the masjid next door, so I was already parked in the garage and didn't have to worry about that aspect. There was only two pairs ahead of me in line when I visited in the afternoon. The barista taking my order was friendly and efficient as I ordered a mango passion fruit refresher and their laymoon & mint lemonade. I checked out their pastry case and they didn't have too much left since it was already afternoon, but they had a few options to choose from. I got their chocolate croissant, which I've tried from JL Patisserie, and I know it's good. They asked if I wanted it heated up, and I said yes please. I entered my phone number at the register so I could join their rewards program. Prices are on the higher side ($8 for the croissant, $6.50 for 16oz drinks) just as an fyi. The cafe itself is spacious and beautiful. I've seen lots of photos so I already knew what it looked like. It was pretty busy too; lots of folks hanging out, Muslim and not. They have lots of stuff on sale and a bunch of free stickers, so I grabbed some. My drinks and croissant took a few minutes to be ready and I grabbed some lids at the counter. I really like their cups: recyclable and they're rounded at the bottom so they feel nice in your hands. They have a good amount of seating outside and a decent sized patio, which would be lovely during mild weather. I loved my warmed chocolate croissant, just what I wanted. My lemon & mint drink was refreshing and I really appreciate the strong mint flavors, tastes so natural. I tried the mango passionfruit refresher and it was nice as well. Would def come back to support this Syrian & Palestinian owned small business! I wish them much success.

    I came here with friends during one of Tempe's festivals. It was crowded, and the line was about a 15 minute wait. And there was another 10 minute wait for our food and drinks. So I don't recommend coming here super hungry. People weren't hogging seats, so we didn't have to search for too long to get seats. The pastries were delicious and the coffee yummy. Chefs kiss all around. But the presentation could have been better. Some of our pastries were packed to go and others were on pretty plates, even though we said we were going to eat there. It was messy to eat my pastry on a paper bag. It would have been better to eat it off a plate. It would have made the experience better, and I think it would have been more cost effective for the owners. The decor was lovely. It reminded me of the cafes in Jordan. The carpets on the ceiling, the arched nooks for group seating, it all resemble Arabic decor. So beautiful! If the food presentation was better (pastries on plates not bags), I would have felt like I was in an exotic land where the coffee are strong, the food and decore are beautiful, and the hospitality is friendly.

    Is this still owned by the previous business owners of the spot ? Or is it new owners and it got a remodel?

    All I know is that it is owned by two siblings. I assume new owners

I had their regular cold brew with a splash of cream and a Sunrise Sandwich- both were so good! The cold brew had a lovely aftertaste that in my opinion, reminded me of dark chocolate and whiskey. Service was also fantastic- the lovely barista was thorough in her explanations of each cold coffee option to help me find what I was looking for! My sandwich was also lovely- the Sunrise Sandwich on an Everything Bagel is easily my favorite breakfast sandwich in Tempe. The Basil Pesto adds a bit of freshness to an otherwise very rich sandwich. Also stopped in a few more times on my evening walks for a Lavender Haze (seasonal earl grey sage honey drink: EXCELLENT!) and their seasonal energy drink- it was a Sunset Spritz (energy with grapefruit pink cordial): both delicious. Happy to say service has improved greatly. Employees are on task and happy to answer my questions. The drinks on the seasonal menu are very good, and their classics are also great. If you're going to go soon, I'm a big fan of the Sage honey and a big fan of the cordial syrup on the 2026 Spring Menu. Will definitely be hitting Infusion up for some future study sessions. Glad to see Infusion takes customer feedback seriously.

There is plenty of seating that can accommodate different size groups. I went with a pour-over, Brazil at the recommendation of the barista. It did not disappoint, great flavor. The rest of our group were happy with their drink selections. The pastries were a good accompaniment. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. I will be visiting again.

Completely understand, since the CC companies charge small businesses a fee. So, just make sure to bring some cash with you if you want to avoid the fee. Not a big deal.

I even mixed it at the bottom with a straw hoping there was more flavor and sweetness, but the bitterness was more intense. I apologized to the front and said I'm sorry to have to ask, but if they could remake it for something else. They wanted to know what was wrong and I explained. The lady gave me a snarky comment and said, "yeah you got Vietnamese coffee, that's what it will taste like". That's definitely not true, I've had Vietnamese coffee plenty of times and it was delicious. The gentlemen who was making the coffee was nice and said he would look into their supply. He remade my coffee for their salted caramel. It was very mild, wish the flavor had been more pronounced. But overall it wasn't a bad drink. Overall this place has become a pass for me.

When I first moved here, I stopped in out of curiosity, and I still remember how genuinely kind and welcoming every employee was. As someone who was new to the area, that first impression meant a lot. Three years later, the same warm atmosphere keeps me coming back. Their hours have always worked perfectly with my schedule, giving me a comfortable place to study after work. There is plenty of seating, and best of all, lots of outlets, which has been a lifesaver for someone like me with an ancient laptop that seems to lose battery the moment I turn it on! Beyond the amazing coffee and cozy ambiance, what really sets this place apart is its commitment to the community. They regularly host events that are open to the public and even keep an event calendar posted so customers can stay informed. I've also seen them partner with organizations like Prisma HealthCare to offer free health screenings, which speaks volumes about how much they care about the people they serve. This isn't just a coffee shop. It's a place where you feel welcomed, supported, and connected. Between the wonderful employees, delicious coffee, inviting atmosphere, and genuine sense of community, it's easy to see why I've been a loyal customer for so long. Thank you for creating such a special place. You've made Arizona feel a little more like home.

Among my friends I'm known as the coffee guy and the baker, and not only is their coffee excellent but they've got unbelievably good gluten free and vegan pastries.

The folks that work there are so friendly, after just two visits they were already treating me like a regular. The shop is inviting, cozy, and built for you to spend time there. They aim to build community and they are very forward with their beliefs, so you know the folks there are going to have the same values as you. Happy Pride! Love you Brick Road.
