    I love this coffee shop! If you're looking to support a Palestinian owned coffee shop this is the one! The staff was friendly and amazing and they serve the best matcha and avocado toast, mine had pomegranates and it was such an interesting taste but so delicious. The service was fast and we didn't wait long. They also sell cute handbags, clips and other cute things. The coffee shop is decorated with hanging rugs and mirrors and makes for a beautiful aesthetic and so cozy. I will definitely be coming back.

    I'm glad I got to try this spot. After all the hype the line wasn't even bad. The service was so friendly and dedicated me on the menu. I ordered a golden matcha. It's very sweet so if that's something you like then it's worth a try. I also tried the rose coffee which was good. The lemonade is yummy too! Lots of seating inside and out as well as all gender bathrooms. The place is decorated so cute with jewelry and other accessories sold. Worth a visit especially for a picturesque spot.

    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.

    I really don't see what the hype is all about. Ambiance is cool, but I found it very crowded and somewhat overpriced. Parking is also very difficult near the cafe. Additionally, there's a side door entrance/exit that is locked. Someone should put a sign on both the outside and inside that says not an exit. I was there for an hour and must have seen over 30 people try to exit or enter via the locked door. Also, I saw tables that were reserved with just one person at them. Mind you- these are large round booth tables that could seat 6 people. Not sure what their reservation policy is- but I found it annoying to see that.

    So beautiful! Decor is very thoughtful and really showcases the beauty of Laymoon's culture. The high arches, rugs on the ceiling, and mirrors are SO elegant. Their drinks are also excellent. I prefer a smaller size matcha here in order to get the matcha/flavor ratio right. The caramelized fig matcha is EXCELLENT and very unique. One thing I appreciate about Laymoon is that the syrups are flavorful without being overpowering- I have found that in many specialty matcha lattes, two flavors cannot coexist. I have not had this experience at Laymoon. Their tiramisu latte (not pictured) is also delicious. I personally haven't tried the refreshers, but my friend and partner both liked theirs. A great place to study with plenty of outlets- sometimes there are busy hours with lots of foot traffic. During my first visit (around their opening), the line was about 20 minutes long. However, don't let this discourage you! My drink only took 5 minutes to come out. Staff are friendly and efficient. They also have a variety of cute jewelries, hair clips, and other merchandise items from a pop-up called NOMINAL inside. I'd recommend visiting Laymoon- it's a wonderful experience.

    I'm not sure how Laymoon Cafe became so popular before they even opened but all the hype really raised expectations I think in an unrealistic way. I was fortunate that the two times I went to Laymoon Cafe I didn't have to wait in line at all. I was told it was because it was "spring break" though my two visits were a couple weeks apart. I'm from Houston, one of the top most diverse large cities in the country - I love this concept and appreciate the opportunity to interact with the diverse staff and indulge in such diverse cuisine. I've tried the Sim Sim Latte and Baklava Latte - both of which didn't have as strong of flavor as I had hoped for. I also tried the honeycomb, GF banana chai muffin, and zaatar bagel - all of which I thoroughly enjoyed and had a seasoning/spice level I was hoping for. The staff is patient and friendly and happy to answer questions. The decor and ambiance feels like you're not in Phoenix and I love that another culture/heritage is celebrated here.

    I've been wanting to try this place out for a while and finally got to go last month. I don't really love going to the downtown Tempe area as it's pretty busy and always construction, but I would say it's worth it to try this spot! So many good sounding drink options, but I decided to get a chai latte with fig syrup and it was really good! We also tried a few food items, like the bubble bread with cream cheese, I guess it's one of their more cultural specialty foods. To me it tasted like a pretzel with cream cheese. We also tried a brown sugar pop tart and baklava. The pop tart wasn't that good, baklava was better. The atmosphere is really nice, they have a lot of seating and nice decor, even some retail items for sale. Beautifully decorated inside. Would definitely like to come back and try more!

    Tiramisu latte
    Kelley C.

    Overall not bad for a cafe near Tempe ASU campus! Love how they are open super late and have a lot of seating. Their drinks are not bad especially their coffee. Their matcha improved since they first opened! Only complaint is that it is a bit on the pricey side. ( recommend tiramisu latte and golden cloud matcha)

    Banana Date Matcha!!
    Mike D.

    I heard all the buzz about the "new" coffee shop in town and I got excited. And I also heard about the long lines when they opened... so I waited until those lines died down a bit, lol. Well, Laymoon Cafe is worth all that buzz! On my first visit, I had a lot of questions about all the delicious sounding drinks... and the staff was friendly and helpful for me in deciding upon my drink order! I wanted to order a pastry too, but they did not have any gluten-free options available when I visited (toward the mid-afternoon on a weekday). Have you ever had a Banana Date Matcha? I have and it is spectacular! PRO TIP: order it less sweet because the banana and date add some natural sweetness. There are tons of comfy seats and tables... some smaller and others better for larger groups! Lots of available outlets too... so bring that laptop and get your studying or work done while enjoying one (or more) of their yummy drinks! Overall rating: *****FIVE STARS***** Gluten-free rating: ***THREE STARS***

    *Late post* My friend and I went a few days after grand opening on a Monday, and boy oh boy was it busy! Parking was stressful with all of the construction, but thankfully we got a street parking and paid with the Park Mobile app after circling for 10 minutes. We waited in line for about 45 minutes to order, and by the time we got to the front, all of the special drinks and bakery items were gone. The only thing I was able to secure was a slice of baklava. *whew* I didn't feel like coffee that day, so I went for a lime refresher, which worked really well with the baklava. My friend ordered a coffee with cinnamon. While we were waiting in line, we were entertained by the jewelry and their merch items, but we didn't get any. I would like to go back soon when it's not as packed, and when all of the menu items are available. Seems not fair to give it a 5-star when I couldn't experience its full potential.

    This coffee shop is new and owned by a brother-sister duo, who showcase their Palestinian and Syrian heritage throughout the shop. The flavors of the different drinks reflect their heritage as well as the gorgeous interior. They also have many pastries which are sourced through local businesses as well. As for our drinks, the matchas are definitely their best drinks! The lattes are good but if you are someone who likes their coffee sweet, I would recommend adding an extra pump of syrup. They also have classic syrup available at the counter where the lids and napkins are. The zaatar bagel was a 10/10 and you can get it with labneh or cream cheese. I enjoyed it both ways! Their baklava is to die for and I can't wait to try more items. The lack of parking is the only challenge with coming here. The coffee shop is located directly next to the ASU Tempe campus and so there's limited street parking and one paid lot around the corner. Other than that, I would highly recommend.

    Such a cute place to grab a bite and drink. I went with my friends and we sat at a little booth it was very vibey, and comfortable. There was a long line but it moved pretty fast, I ordered the Pom lime energy it was very refreshing and an amazing recommendation from the cashier.

    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

My daughter reminded me that I don't like prickly pear, but Hunter kindly let me sample it anyway.

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.
