Used to hang out with college friends a few years ago, food & drinks were not always great! I decided to try it again a few days ago and I'm still disappointed with the drinks :(( the McAllen location has a funky smell; might try the new location! Overall customer service is always great! read more

MoonBeans Coffee - Strawberry-Lavender drink - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Edinburg, Texas

I went to a DHR event and felt bad not ordering anything and decided to order a coffee. When I heard my name I went to go get it and the order was different from what i ordered so I asked if it was under my name and then said i had ordered a iced coffee and got told "OK THEN PUT IT BACK, ITS NOT YOURS" in a very rude tone. read more

Pros Local coffee shop that's not a Starbucks. Coffee is pretty good, nice and strong. Carrot cake is good. Large store with nice outdoor seating. Fair service. "Safe space". Cons The smell of this place is just off putting, smells like mold and sewage, I guess it use to be an old bar or something, I would recommend seating outside. Furniture is old and wobbly. Poor lighting, which I like sometimes but it's just too dark and dungeny to read anything. read more

MoonBeans Coffee - Store front - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Edinburg, Texas

The coffee doesn't taste how it used to. I had not been in over a year and it is nothing how it was. I couldn't even finish it. I got so disappointed since this used to be one of my favorite coffee shops read more

First time coming here. This place is most recognized by college students and family. The espresso was so good especially the mocha. I'll come again at this place! read more

We are exploring coffee shops in town, have driven by this place numerous times, never could tell if it was open. The brown on brown on brown paint is dreary and not welcoming. The whole place needs a cleaning and pick me up. Well past its prime. The outdoor area has potential but the tables need to be wiped down and ashtrays emptied. Planters were falling apart, fence art not finished. The inside was dark and dreary and old feeling. A younger crowd. Maybe going for the dark and cozy, but missed the mark. The counter also was not welcoming area. Also tired and basic. Not welcoming. I'm not a fan of touch screen ordering, first the hygiene aspect and very impersonal. A large menu on the wall feels cozier and friendlier. The only positive was the barrista, very friendly and sweet and took our verbal order. We ordered hot Americana's. Not our favorite roast, and even though we ordered an extra shot, still tasted weak. I would not bring a visitor or business acquaintance here. read more

Nice , comfortable and spacious cafe both indoor and outdoors with plenty of shade . Baristas were nice and attentive and with their help decided to order a blueberry muffin that was delicious and flaky along with a mud latte ( I forgot what I ordered ) that's a go to as per the barista! Now for me it was a bit to sweet but was tasty and creamy ! Then ordered a cold brew with was delicious and flavorful. Will come back if I were in town ! Also know they have a lot of art nights and activities which is where I heard of them ! read more

Quality, as well as ambiance, has been tanking severely. Once a place to order a coffee made with love from cool baristas, has become replaced by a dull miserable kiosk with no personality. One can't sit down for 5 minutes before ordering without being bothered by the bald man telling you to order something. What a way to ruin the mood! On top of that, you must order something every 2 hours to stay connected to the wifi... not cool. Also, i can taste the emotions of the people who make my coffee, and the coffee here tastes SAD! Just goes to show how the employees are treated inside their glass box. I know that people should be for small businesses, but this small business is not for the people. You're better off at a Starbucks. Hope the quality will improve, thanks. read more

Always great strong coffee service is usually quick and reliable we been going since before the latest relocation a while back always a good time at this location ! read more

1 star only because the outdoor area looks nice and the place looks like they support artists. I can't believe other reviews have 5 stars, this place is dark, dirty and smelly. It's been a while since they moved to this new location (that used to be a bar or club or something) and they haven't fixed anything. They have things lying around everywhere, the restrooms are straight out of a horror movie, everything is broken, the floor tiles are broken, the staff seem like they don't care and it's always packed! Why do people come here? And why does it always smell like that?? Also I'm 50/50 for the tables they have, on one part it's nice that people can connect through art but on the other it just makes the place look worse. This doesn't look like a coffee shop at all. read more

Yesterday was my first time at this coffee shop, and it went well. I stayed for about two hours working on my journal. The baristas were friendly, the furniture was so adorable, and they even provide free samples to indecisive people like me. I didn't originally believe I'd be able to do work there but I did two full pages! The only problem I had was the lighting. I'm not a big fan of it if I'm there for studying/journaling, but if I am there to relax, chat, sit, the lighting is cute. This also goes for the music. They had awesome songs playing but it was too loud for my liking. The drink I chose was the Oreo Orbit, after hearing so many positive reviews about it. Well...it was good. It was definitely too sweet on a regular basis, but for my first time, it was tasty! Attached is a photo of coffee-loving Bulbasaur. read more

MoonBeans Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Edinburg, Texas

Stopped in for the first time. The entrance sign is a banner that was not visible until I walked up closer to it. It's also a bit of a weird entrance, covered and looked abandoned. Once I walked through the entrance area I realized it is the entrance to the outdoor patio area and door to the cafe is a bit further in. The outside patio area is very large, for a cafe. Once inside I enjoyed the low lighting and multiple tables. It was a bit busy as it kind of sounded more like a cafeteria than a cafe. I ordered the Oreo drink and had to get a larger size or choose the size without a lid. The drink was good but I'm not sure where the Oreos were. Overall, I know Covid has set back a lot of businesses but I think they're rolling along. A couple tweaks to get things right and on track are needed but I would definitely return. read more

I was visiting family a month ago and my sisters took me here as we enjoy good coffee and a nice patio. It was the nicest coffee shop I've been to down there and I really enjoyed my ice chai. The carrot cake was pretty great as well, amazing frosting that tasted in house. Sitting outside with the plants and nice weather was lovely and I liked the interior as well. I would definitely visit again next time I'm in town! read more

coffee taste bland just meh, not the best. The teas are the only thing I go for but other than that, that's it. The outside is great but the indoor area smells "weird". It's hip and a "good vibe", but overall would just go for the tea. read more

They have a new location, and I was at their old location not having any idea of where they had moved since there was nothing posted as to what their new address was. They are now across the street next to the driving school. Once I did find out where their new location was, I did enjoy the atmosphere, their coffee, a breakfast sandwich, and the service of the employees. The only thing that has me giving them four stars was trying to find out where they moved to. read more

The first time I ordered from MoonBeans I ordered through their app. I was under the impression they'd bring it out to my car since I figured the point of ordering through the app was for curbside pickup. They never brought it out so I had to go in. When I went in, my oat milk had been sitting for so long that they seemed to pull it out of some sort of cabinet below the cash register where it was waiting. I asked if it was still hot. The girl said it was. She said if it wasn't hot to bring it back and they could warm it. What?? I went back the second time to give them a second chance. I talked about what type of oat milk they use with the girl who took my order. They use Pacifica Oat Milk. She then called out to the patio to have the barista come inside to make my latte. Really? I didn't feel the passion for the craft from the staff. Couldn't taste it either. If you want a good latte, go over to Semilla. If you want a trendy atmosphere with space to gather, stay at MoonBeans. read more

Really cool hipster coffee shop!! The coffee was delicious. I need to go back and try the whole menu (it was that good) I hope more people try this place out because it really is a chill, farmhouse style local coffee shop. Excellent!!! read more

First off, the guy at the front was patient and very nice! He knows his stuff! I wanted something hot and sweet, with coffee, and the BIG DIPPER WAS PERFECT! Very affordable place. I came to study and I love it! I always travel to places and want a study spot in between my traveling! It's nice soft music playing in the background, not too distracting! They also have bench seating as well! Hey now!! read more

The new location sucks. I recently went at least 5x within a two week time frame and here are the bad things that really stand out. - the no outside drinks or food signs are excessive!!! Do you really need a sign on every door and at every booth to get the message across? There are at least a total of 10 paper signs throughout the shop. - the outlets are out of reach high up on the wall and are a safety hazard. I saw Customers standing on the booths to plug in their devices. - the prices announced are false and are more expensive. The drink I ordered was about $1.50 more than advertised on the drink menu board. - the booths and tables are in bad condition. I got multiple tables which were very wobbly. - they are always out of stock on something. The first few times, out of Oreo bits. The 5th time, no whip cream. - they don't have the proper lids at the coffee bar. I had to go back to the cashier to get a proper fitting cup lid. - expect loud grinding of coffee. The big grinding machine is on the same open floor and really loud. I was unable to take any calls or concentrate. More than half of the times they were grinding for 30min or so. I'm only here because of the Oreo Orbit drink and will take my business to the new Reserva spot when it opens. read more

Even though they became very corporate, I still like their coffee. If you do not want caffeine, you can order the Oreo orbit which is just crushed Oreos with milk( if you like coffee just add an expresso shot or even 2). Some of the baristas seem like they do not want to be there or are having a bad day. When asked what they would recommend they seem to not want to help you by giving recommendations; This in my opinion makes your visit a little bit bad. Service used to be better before they remodeled and made the coffee shop more cooperate. It was better when it was more of a mom and pop coffee shop with the vintage sofas and chairs. The majority of the clientele are students. read more

MoonBeans Coffee - Oreo orbit ( one with 2 shots of expresó) - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Edinburg, Texas

Such a shame! Great new place, nice sitting room. Nice outdoor sitting. BUT they have a rule that if you drink your coffee inside, you HAVE to wear your mask all the time . Apparently you sip, put mask up. Put mask down. Sip. Put mask up. This is AFTER Abbot changed the mandate for masks. I (we- there were 4 of us at the time) certainly respect his right to asks for masks on while ordering.... but drinking and eating? Between the 4 of us, we've tried dozens of eating/coffee establishments - none had such a silly, non-sense rule. We won't be back - yes, things will get better, but dumb stays forever. ( I might add that the other 15 people that were there and run outside felt the same as we did) If he runs his business this stupidly- Then I'm sure there are other things inherent in the shop that are done irrationally as well. Too bad, it was a nice place. read more

I LOvE this coffee place. They always give the best recommendations and usually have healthy snacks. It's a great place for me to stop between customer meetings and to get on the laptop. read more

MoonBeans Coffee - Raspberry latte. Yummo! - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Edinburg, Texas

When it comes to local coffee houses, there aren't many options in McAllen. Fortunately, MoonBeans is the local standout amongst all the Starbucks and McCafes. Staff is upbeat, coffee selection is good, tea selection is decent - they even have almond milk. Free wi-fi, plenty of seating, pastries baked in house ... it's the perfect spot to study, host meetings or just hang out on the patio. read more

I really like that you guys added the qr codes but its also super easy to swap out those qr codes with fake qr codes that go to a fake website that looks a lot like the page where you guys take orders. You should tape the paper holders closed so no one can just slide those things out and replace them. read more

Went in on one of the coldest days of the year to escape the weather. Less than 40 degree weather, a warm ambience, and coffee might seem to be the perfect unison, but this seemingly beautiful idea was shattered when the barista, who I later found out was named "Amy", felt the need to prop the door open with a chair despite customers sitting near the entrance. When asked if we could close the door, Amy stated that no, we were not allowed to close it because she was hot in the back with a condescending attitude. How this is acceptable is beyond me, given that her coworkers seemed to agree with the customers who felt this was unreasonable, while making no effort for restitution. I hope that MoonBeans will take the proper steps to train their staff in customer service, or review their requirements for hiring, as it has become quite evident that the wrong people are interacting with customers. People like Amy represent the company on the front end, yet I do not believe this behavior exemplifies the values that MoonBeans does. When I called to speak to a manager about this experience, she had the audacity to pretend to be the manager, and proceeded to belliger me over the phone about my own behavior and how we spoke to her and her colleague, in a defensive manner that she will no-doubt use when she brings this up to her actual upper-management to cast down this review as lies. To reiterate, this entire escapade ensued over multiple polite requests to close the door on a freezing night. MoonBeans has been our go-to location to relax and unwind. I'll only be back when the proper action is taken. read more

MoonBeans Coffee - Why would a door be left open on a night like this? Coffee shops are supposed to be cozy places to unwind with warm drinks. Ridiculous. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Edinburg, Texas

Their coffees are delicious! Their teas are amazing, their pastries are on point and the vibe this coffee shop has is fantastic! I have noticed that Monday's are a bit busy, so if you want a quiet place to study, Monday's may not be too quiet! Otherwise, MoonBeans is a great place to study, the atmosphere is really relaxed, and the smell of coffee makes it a great environment! I always come here on weekends to study for exams. They have a large table that runs across the store and booths for you to sit in to study. The booths have outlets where you can charge your electronics. Overall, MoonBeans is a fantastic place! Staff is very welcoming and friendly. Coffees and teas are delicious! Environment is relaxing and a great place to study! highly recommend this location! read more

Warning; to be fair, we were visiting family from out of town and we live in Seattle so are used to ~superior~ coffee. Service was prompt and friendly. Drinks could have definitely been better! I ordered something chocolatey and cold (can't remember the name!) because it was hot AF. I expected to get something similar to an iced overly sweetened coffee from Starbucks but whatever it was that i ordered came out of a LARGE PLASTIC CONTAINER BECAUSE IT WAS PRE-MADE----WTF! Yeah it tasted fine, very reminiscent of premade coffee/chocolate milk but NOT what i wanted coming from a COFFEE SHOP! I mean that's not why you go in one right? I would have gone to the gas station and gotten a Monster coffee energy drink if i was going to get something premade. Interior and atmosphere is cute and almost hipster-y--- they definitely tried. This place has potential! read more

When I travel I love local coffee shops! I quickly learned that coffee is just different in the South than the North. They taste like drinks with shots of expresso. Nothing wrong with them, just not my flavor. The "barista" here couldn't answer any of my questions, he didn't seem to know what was in the coffee. The drink was premade/premixed iced "frio" coffee, and it tasted ok. I wanted more sugar but was told it's not possible since it's premade. Ok! read more

I'm always on the lookout for a great local coffee spot that's better than visiting the nearby Siren establishment and MoonBeans definitely fits the bill. On my first visit here, I was pleasantly surprised to see the space is big and perfect for getting work done. I typically work from home and this is the ideal place to cure my cabin fever. Plus, the staff is very friendly. When my guy and I mentioned that we had just moved to the area, the girl at the register was offering us a ton of suggestions on places to go. I always appreciate a helping hand, especially when moving over 1000 miles away from home. The coffee menu is relatively small, however there are a lot of customization options (dairy free, syrup add ins). So far, I've tried an iced coffee and a vanilla almond milk latte. The iced coffee was ok, a little too watery in my opinion. I honestly think they should incorporate coffee ice cubes, it would improve my typical favorite drink X1000. The latte was good and I was very happy with the free syrup you get when checking in on Yelp. Honestly, this place would for sure be a five star if they just improved a smidgen on some of their drinks. I love supporting local businesses and I'm really glad to have a coffee place like this close to my new home. read more

The line was long, the new building is old and has a bad odor and the bathrooms were dirty. The evening manager was oblivious to the need to help behind the counter. The coffee is good and the 2 girls were hustling but still took us 45 min to get half of our order......too bad. read more

This has to be the best thing to ever happen to me since I've discovered it. Fantastically friendly, helpful staff that know the menu. So far my favorite drink to order is the London Fog! Delicious drinks, great pastries, amazing location, and an absolute must try if you are tired of giving your money to the overpriced Starbucks chains. Go local! read more

This place is a freaking joke. I ordered ttwo drinks and they were gritty and I asked for them to please remake them as the taste and quality was poor, just like their customer service. The incompetent people behind the counter refused to remake our order and said they drinks were "made" like that! Bull****! if we did not like the drinks we had to pay for new ones. Then this tool of a manager or whatever he was, goes on a power trip telling me to wear my mask regardless of sitting at a table,WTF! stay away, customer service is horrible and drinks are lack luster and the employees know absolutely nothing about customer service. read more

Fantastic customer service and delicious drip coffee.m, IMO. The coffee cake was delicious, but it could have used some whipped creme on the side. They also were out of almond and soy milk at the time of our visit. read more

I'm new to McAllen and I was happy to stumble upon this little coffee shop. Actually had breakfast here the very first day I was in town while I was waiting for the movers. I've been back several times and I will gladly spend my money here. The cold brew is delicious and the toasted almond scone is magnificent!! Love the crew here too! Everyone is always friendly and they seem like they enjoy their job! Not only does MoonBeans have wonderful coffee and food but it must be a great place to work too! read more

I hadn't been to this Moonbeans location in at least 2 years and the look has changed so much! Definitely an upgrade. There's a lot more seating available in general and for bigger groups too. They also offer outdoor seating as well. There is always 1 or 2 people there that just ruin the mood for me every time I have gone; that's where the headphones come in handy. I will say the internet was lagging a lot. Something to keep in mind. I went one day after another and the second day was the worst. After a couple employees finished their shift, they proceeded to sit at a table near me with a customer they knew all to talk crap about some other employees that had just gotten to work. They, and the customer, were cussing aloud and sharing inappropriate stories (considering children were around) and using vulgar language. It was so hard to focus on my studies with these people talking so loud and rudely. I'm a big tea drinker, hot or cold, and I was unimpressed with the selection they had to offer. They had sleepy-time teas and herbal teas which if you're at a coffee shop, chances are you don't want to think of sleep just yet. I was also disappointed that they didn't have a regular black unsweet tea to offer, as they had run out for the day apparently. I went back the next day and they still did not have black tea. It's so simple to make, not sure what the problem was. I finally decided on an Orange & Spice iced tea with nothing added to it. I was surprised to like it as much as I did the first day. It did already have a mild sweetness to it without adding anything. However, when I had it the next day it didn't taste the same at all and was not very good. Still a little confused about that one. Before my second day of trying this place again recently I for sure would've been back, but now I know I'll just stick to the Starbucks down the street and get free refills on the black tea. Since it's local to the Valley I'd at least give it a try. Maybe you'll have a better experience than I did. read more

MoonBeans Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Edinburg, Texas

Super friendly, but it kinda smelt like weed. The coffee is great, but a little overpriced

Kudos to being open during COVID. Employees courteous and curbside service was better than I expected

You need to come here and sit outside between 9 and 10pm on weekday nights. Why, you ask? Some douchebag in an Escalade or some other ghettofied, expensive SUV cruises by slowly multiple times with loud jazz music (my friend said he actually heard the Pink Panther theme once) with his Pomeranian hanging out the front window, blocking the douchebag's face. It's very, very amusing...yet sad. If I were to be picked up by a guy with a dog...it would DEFINITELY NOT be an effing Pomeranian. Does anyone know what the deuce he's thinking?! Douchebag!!! Moonbeans is a quaint, neighborhood coffee shop...not unlike some of the small neighborhood coffee shops in Austin. They have their original drinks and they roast their own coffee. There's local art on the walls, soft music in the background (perfect for studying or chit chatting), and really cool baristas. The crowd that hangs out here is relatively douchebag free...the Pomeranian guy just cruises around. I had a new drink that they just started offering, but I'm blanking on the name of it. It was quite tasty...and quick, too! They have also, since the last time I was here, started serving beer. And it's beer that makes my inner beer snob proud...not just the typical AB beers, but beers with class and style! You should visit if you're ever in McAllen...even if it's just to laugh at the Pomeranian douchebag! read more
