Came here with a friend in the late afternoon to catch up 2 hours before closing. The store was PACKED. There was a mix of people studying, working, and chatting with friends; it's a very lively community spot. Despite how chaotic it was, the space was generally clean and the service was great. The cashier made sure to get our names and address us by them. The decor is beautiful, feeling intentionally designed. I thought it was really cool that they have a slow coffee bar area specifically for pour overs (I think) where tech isn't allowed, so people are just supposed to sit and enjoy their coffee. I've never seen that before in a coffee shop. The menu is extensive. Since it was later in the day, the baked goods were half off, which was a nice surprise. I got a blueberry latte and an Asian fusion focaccia bread. Blueberry latte - I liked this! The blueberry flavor was subtle and not overly sweet or artificial tasting. It added a light fruity note to the coffee without overpowering it. Fusion focaccia bread - This was tasty, but I felt the original price was steep ($12). My piece was around 6" x 3". The shiitake mushroom flavor was strong and I loved the addition of scallions and Chinese sausage sprinkled throughout the bread. Overall, this is such a cool addition to coffee culture in the South Bay. It feels like shop from a big city like SF, NYC, or Chicago instead of little ol' SJ. The ambiance and options are solid, and it has a vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. You can be a casual coffee drinker or a coffee snob and it will be a satisfying experience. read more

There was a line when I went, but the food/drinks rolled out in a timely manner. Solid spot for coffee and unique fusion pastries! - BlackBerry toasted coconut latte hot : Not my fav combo. Taste like sour coffee with coconut shavings. - Cardamom orange latte hot: Surprisingly good like a creamy orange coffee. - Egg sando: I like the added trout caviar, adds a nice pop of color and flavor. - Shio pan: Very good crispy outside and soft inside. I will say the black salt on the top was a lil strong. I didn't realize and took one huge bite of salt and ended up having to scrape some off the rest of the bread - Gochujang corn cheese scallion focaccia: Very big, generous slice. I would like more corn cheese throughout the bread. Good service, nice space with seating, but can get busy. Please do clean up after yourself if you decided to sit. read more

One of our friends from solidcore suggested visiting Moonwake coffee roasters. She highly recommended to get there early because there could be a line out the door.

There's always a line every time I come to this spot. Fortunately the line moves at a good pace. I really enjoy their drink and bake goods offerings. Seemed like there's a rotation on their menu. E.g the corn cream coffee I had last time is no longer on the menu. For such popular/decent size cafe I wish they have more than one bathroom. Definitely enjoy coming here if wasn't for the constant crowd this place has and how busy it is. read more

Oh my gosh - this place is phenomenal. Awesome coffee - rich, tasty beverages that pair well either pastry offerings. Ask for a recommendation. You can't go wrong. Spent two hours here enjoying my vanilla bean latte with oat milk (no upcharge for alternative milk) and a pineapple puff pastry. Thank you for a beautiful morning yesterday; looking forward to my next adventure here! No teenagers here which is a huge plus for enjoying a lazy morning over an excellent cup of coffee, nice conversation and comfortable seats. Alternatively, if you're here to work on your laptop for work or school...this might be a good spot :-) This cafe deserves a 10 - it's that good because of its impeccable service, lovely ambiance and awesome food. Think Japanese coffee culture and here is Moonwake Roasters! read more

I ordered the Iced marzipan latte Iced Matcha latte the marzipan latte had fun red dried toppings and the latte had good espresso and the marzipan itself wasn't as strong. It blended into a nice drink although I'd like to try their regular iced latte next time. Matcha latte wasn't anything special and it came more watered down than strong. The ambiance however was very fresh and modern. I enjoyed the sit down vibe and how you could work or chill there. read more

Pretty place, I liked the inside. And workers were nice too. We got two lattes and two pastries. The lattes were Matcha and Milo Mocha. My fav was the two pastries over the drinks. The turnover was sweet and good. The savory pull apart bread was also yum. Both drinks were on the bitter side though. I think for the price I rather get coffee elsewhere but after adding some sugar, it tasted better. Inside was busy. Private lot in front read more

My daughter treated me to coffee and snacks here this morning and it was great! I am normally a "burnt offerings" kind of coffee guy (think, Peet's dark roast) but I have to admit there is merit to being able to taste subtlety in your drink and that is what this place is all about. We had pour overs (speedy), a banana toast with black sesame spread under the bananas, and a Japanese croissant-like pastry called a "shioko-pan". Pastries were great! They have a large selection. We thought both of our choices were excellent. The selection of pour overs changes all the time. It is like wine tasting - they give you a lot of descriptions and there is a pre-purchase decision tasting station that has small paper cups and small pitchers of sample coffee to help you figure out what you want. In addition, they have more normally priced espresso drinks, including Americano, that span the gamut of froth, milk, no-milk, etc. Real barista stuff, including artwork. I am lactose intolerant, so we went with the pour overs The pour over selections were complex in flavor. They are more lightly roasted and carefully brewed than I am used to. Lots of fruity notes and other things happening. I would write more about my selection, but since they turn them over all the time, you will just need to evaluate what is happening that day. They have complete information on sourcing, tasting notes, etc. All really top shelf as an experience. In fact, if you are out just looking for a caffeine and bounce, this is not the place for that. It's really a nice place to just chat and sip. They have some noise treatments on the walls and ceiling to keep it from being crazy noisy. It's not the library, but you can carry on a conversation, which is a nice change. So, our outing probably cost as much as lunch somewhere but it was really fun. The barista who did the pour over was super precise and answered by questions about what he was doing. You should see the ritual - it's all got purpose. There is careful temperature control, modulated sprinkling of the hot water over the grounds, etc. It felt sort of of "Japanese teahouse" in a way. Anyways, great experience, great food, nice coffee! read more

Already one of my two favorite slow bar experiences in the Bay Area! Staff was amazing and their whole shop is a tribute to speciality coffee. They have a wall of drippers and even roast their own beans. I tried their Sidra and Batian coffees. I would say they're light roast and fruity/balanced coffees. They also let people try their whole selection before choosing one to drink which I thought was genius. Matt, Mabel, Sam and Joel were rockstars. Will come back soon read more

This is one review I've been hesitant to write for a very selfish reason. I've finally gotten over my greedy desire to gatekeep this place. Everyone already knows Moonwake is a great coffee shop, the lines in the morning, especially on the weekends, are clear evidence of this. Even some regulars affectionally call it "Moon Wait" because of the queues. But this place and, more importantly, the people who work here, deserved to be recognized. Moonwake is a bright spot for some great dark coffee! There, I said it. The place is welcoming and has a great vibe. Sometimes you just know when a place feels right. Whether it's the plants all over the shop, the friendly staff dedicated to their craft, the comfortable interior, the amazing pastries (I highly recommend the shoi pan, or salt roll, and the mushroom tart), the bright airy atmosphere, the attentive and inviting pour-over bar, or the great playlists, this place is something special. Additionally, Moonwake welcomes everyone, especially our four-legged kids who are almost always greeted by the staff and our pups somehow find other dog lovers amongst the Moonwake community to greet or share kisses. Go here, share with friends, and save me a seat, better yet, save me a spot in line and say hi to our pups! read more

What a beautiful cafe in an unassuming strip mall, behind a fabric shop. The cafe is bright and airy with live plants everywhere and a beautiful tree taking center stage. The view of the roastery and collection of tea cups adds to the ambience. At my first visit, I asked the staff for recommendations and they did not disappoint. They knew the drinks so well like a coffee sommelier or Q grader. I was impressed by staff, the beautiful drink and the food. I'll definitely be back! Tip: Be aware of where you park since part of the lot is for other businesses. read more

Very tasty coffee, a lovely vibe, and great service! The staff was friendly, offered excellent recommendations, and shared helpful details about the tasting notes in the pour-over. We ordered two lattes -- orange cardamom and vanilla. The orange cardamom was my favorite: super unique and absolutely delicious. I'd definitely love to buy beans from here next time -- such great coffee! read more

Came here due to a friend's recommendation! I tried their orange cardamom latte and it was really good! The flavor combo was unique and something that I personally really vibed with. I will say it was a smidge too sweet for me personally and it's quite pricey too. Not a lot of space and outlets to do any work. Their food looks good but I didn't get to try, if I come back I'll definitely try again. read more

Moonwake is my favorite cafe in south bay! From the fragrant teas to the ever-evolving menu, every experience i've had here has been a treat. The service is very fast, even if the line is long. The interior is beautifully decorated with coffee and tea-making tools. There is a bar area where people can watch the tea making process happen. Seating can get a little tricky, would definitely recommend going there during off-hours. They serve the typical pastries alongside some unique ones, like a gochujang corn cheese focaccia. I love an opportunity to try something new! read more

Came here with one of my friends for a much needed catch up who recommended this place. We ordered some of the pastries and the egg sando as well as the lattes as well. I ordered a plain latte and I really enjoyed the fragrance and flavor: not too bitter and well balanced by the milk. The egg sando was delicious: bread is soft and fluffy and the egg salad filling is seasoned just right. I enjoyed the pistachio and berry croissant as well too. Lots of seating inside with a variety of tables and chairs. Not too loud inside either, so definitely somewhere you can get some work done or catch up with a friend without having to yell. Our order came out very quickly and the staff were very kind. Great experience overall! read more

I really enjoyed coming to Moonwake Coffee Roasters. Although the line was long the baristas were super speedy we got our drinks so fast and the cashier was also great at providing recommendations and telling us the details of the items we asked about. The inside was very modern with a cement circle in the middle and a baby tree in the middle which is a vibe. You can also see where they roast the beans too which is pretty cool. We ordered for a group the cryo-cortado, espresso tonic, marzipan latte with oat milk, vanilla with oat milk, and cardamom orange latte. I took a sip of each hehe. My favorite was the espresso tonic as it was very refreshing and I got slightly fruity vibes which I really enjoy. The cryo-cortado was very interesting it was extremely creamy and coated the tongue was a little salty. The lattes were good and nothing super crazy imo my least favorite was the marzipan one I think I'm just not an almond syrup fan. For a snack we got the black sesame banana toast heated up and it was phenomenal, I'd highly recommend trying it. Overall, I'd recommend trying Moonwake and I really wanna try their other pastries and various pour overs. The black sesame banana toast really did it for me it really was so good. I also feel like the espresso tonic is done with pretty light roast beans and it was just so good. read more

This place is located on a corner and can get pretty packed. even with the amount of seats that they have! I like how they offered asian fusion baked goods which is what we got. For drinks I got the matcha latte iced with oatmilk which was good and not overly sweet and my dad got the marzipan latte with came with freeze dried raspberries on top. The egg sando was good but found out that they ran out of the roe that comes with it which was too bad. read more

The best in the South Bay Area by far. I usually get a pour over by Matt and a creative tasty pastry.

I was super excited to try this coffee spot as the reviews were super encouraging. I just swung by and was not very impressed. We got a gf chocolate pistachio mochi brownie donut. The donut was our fav part. It was super rich and we split it and it was the perfect amount. I couldn't eat a whole one. For my drink, I ordered a hot decaf blackberry toasted coconut latte with oat milk. Honestly, it was just okay. I didn't really get much blackberry or coconut. I almost choked on the coconut bits a couple times. The temperate was lukewarm which was a turn off for me. The worker taking our order wasn't very nice to us after hearing him talk to two women in front of us for almost 5 minutes. Not sure what the hype is about this place, but don't think we will be back unfortunately. read more

An expensive, trendy experience. If you're really into coffee, I would recommend checking this place out. They have a variety of fancy coffees with different flavors and high price points. If you're a casual coffee drinker, this place is a skip. Since I am a casual coffee enjoyer, I didn't think this coffee shop was exceptional. However, my friend (who is an avid coffee fan) really enjoyed this experience, so clearly there is merit to this spot. I visited on a holiday, and it was absolutely packed. The line was out the door and moved quite slowly. We waited for around 15 minutes to order. The interior is chicly decorated, with lots of coffee on display and gorgeous furniture. There was a lot of natural light in the store, which really enhanced the decor. It was extremely loud and crowded inside, as expected. I saw a couple tables of people studying/reading, but this does not seem like the most productive study spot given the chaos all around you. The drinks quickly arrived after ordering, which was impressive given the line. The baristas clearly knew what they were doing, and the latte art was stunning. I tried the cardamom orange latte, and both the cardamom and orange flavors were extremely faint. It was a solid latte but nothing exceptional (minus the pretty latte art). My friend tried a pour-over coffee that he really enjoyed, which was supposed to have notes of honeysuckle and kumquat? I didn't particularly enjoy it nor did I taste the honeysuckle/kumquat, but I'm also not a coffee enthusiast. I was excited to try the miso browned butter pumpkin bread. It was a decent price but not remarkable. The bread was moist and good, but I'm not sure the miso and browned butter really enhanced it. I enjoyed this experience, but I'm not sure I would come back given the crowds and notable prices. That being said, if you're a coffee lover, there are a variety of fancy pour-overs you may appreciate. read more

Overhyped imo. It's a good coffee shop, don't get me wrong, but I've had better. The lattes and the pastries were very creative and tasty, but nothing that blew my mind. I personally think it's pretty standard fare for a pretty good coffee shop -- maybe I'm spoiled! I will say the vibes for working are pretty good. It's loud and crowded, but there's enough people grinding to get you motivated. It's also very aesthetically pleasing so definitely not a bad way to spend a weekday afternoon -- I really enjoy all the plants they have throughout the shop. read more

Moonwake Coffee Roasters - Cardamom & orange latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - San Jose, California

As a lead parent for my child's grade, we host monthly coffee chats for parents to come together and connect. While most grade levels tend to go to a Starbucks, which is fine, I wanted something different and unique. A friend suggested Moonwake, and at my next personal friend coffee date, I decided to make this establishment our spot so I could scout it out. And let me tell you, it was love at first sight, we knew we had to make this our parent meetup spot for the academic year. The ambiance felt very cozy and welcoming, there's even a raised seating tree well with small trees, which is something I've not seen in a coffee shop before. There's lots of tables of various sizes, and in the back there's also a long bar-stool height table that easily houses 15+ people. I tend to come a little earlier at opening to try and grab a third or half of the table before our crowd comes. The menu has quite the assortment, many of them asian inspired. They have both delicious food (the egg salad sando with fish roe on top is A+) along with the drinks. I try something new every time, and nothing has disappointed yet. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. They were so patient as I ask questions or let me decide what to choose for the day. The clientele have also all been quite pleasant and accommodating, and sometimes we have a polite and friendly chat to pass the time. Overall, we've been so happy with our choice of locale to host our group regularly - parents often tell me how delicious and tasty it is, and we have built a much stronger community, with Moonwake as our foundation. Thank you so much! Can't wait for our next visit and my next new item to try! read more

Moonwake is a trendy spot serving specialty coffee along with seasonal sweet treats. The interior features mostly small tables with the addition of a community table. The menu offers some seasonal drinks, but also staple drinks they serve year round. The pastry and food selection is small but has a good variety of both sweet and savory options. Service is okay. The workers seem sort of superficial and give off the feeling that they are just trying to get through their shift. Our drinks were ready within 10 minutes or so. * Egg salad sandwich - pretty small serving for the price tag. Egg salad is heavy on the mayo so its quite creamy and rich. The bread is soft and pillowy. The fish roe on top is unique touch and adds a briny finish to the palate. * Pumpkin squash latte - This was a unique approach to the beloved PSL. The pumpkin spice flavor was strong yet not overwhelming. The latte itself was creamy and slightly sweet. This drink was quite comforting on a rainy weekend afternoon. * Tiramisu- Probably one of the best tiramisus I've had in a while. The ladyfingers were perfectly saturated in the espresso essence without being soggy. The mascarpone cream was light and complemented the ladyfingers well. * matcha latte hot- This was one of the worst matcha lattes I've ever had. The matcha tasted poor in quality and quite bland. I would not recommend. If you're looking for specialty coffee and willing to brave the lines, Moonwake Coffee will be up your alley. read more

I was meeting a friend for coffee and she is a bit of a tiktok matcha connoisseur. I wouldn't have known about this place otherwise. The line never stopped but the service is quick. It is a bustling space inside in an otherwise quiet strip of other businesses. Parking is free on the street & lot but when we left at 10:30 am, it was packed. If you arrive after 9:30, be prepared to sit outside. I had the mocha with oat milk and my friend had the iced matcha and egg sando with caviar. At over $7 per drink, I wasn't super impressed. It was solid but nothing spectacular. I was also disappointed at the uncomfortable seating. It's quite loud so if you are solo, don't forget the noise cancelling headphones! read more

Moonwake Coffee Roasters - Menu Jan 2026 - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - San Jose, California

All of the pastries we tried were good, but overall a bit too sweet for my Asian palate. The twice-baked berry pistachio croissant could have used more tartness to balance out the sweetness, and the fruit and pistachio flavors weren't as pronounced as I expected. The miso brown butter pumpkin bread was probably our favorite. We really enjoyed the subtle saltiness, which helped enhance the sweetness, though with slightly less sugar, it would have been perfect. The cardamom bun, on the other hand, was very cardamom-forward and a bit overpowering for me (and not as good as La Cabra's). That said, if you're a big cardamom fan, you'd probably enjoy it. For drinks, they offer some cool pour-over options and even let you smell the coffee grounds before brewing, which was a nice touch. I ordered the hot matcha with extra matcha and half sweetness. It was good, but not worth waiting in a long line if matcha is all you're there for. We went on a Saturday around noon and waited about 15 minutes. There always seems to be a line out the door, but it moves fairly quickly. read more

I loved this place as a coffee shop. It's ideal to get some work done or catch up with a friend. The lighting is great to keep me productive and noise wise people may be chattering but isn't overly distracting. The person taking my order was also super patient when I couldn't decide what I wanted and gave me suggestions on what I may like. The place is clean and also has a parking lot in the plaza. The coffee felt like good quality. I got the Milo mocha which was flavorful and gave me more of a caffeine boost than mochas from other places. I'm also Cantonese so loved mix of bringing the Asian nostalgia into a coffee. You can taste the quality of their coffee beans too. The only thing is that it's a bit more on the pricer side for coffee but I would still go there for meet ups and to get work done since the quality was good and is a great space to do work. read more

We heard about Moonwake Coffee Roasters and went to buy a bag of coffee for a gift. The line was long on a Saturday right before noon. We placed our order to go, and it was all ready in a few minutes. Everything was delicious. Coffee quality is good as I tried the drip coffee, and daughter had the cardamom orange latte. Egg sando was yummy but a bit pricey for its size. My daughter would get it without caviar. We especially liked the sesame banana bostock which was not too sweet. Employees are very nice and helpful. The store was crowded but there were still seats available with various seating options. There was a steady line out the door when we were leaving. Overall, it was a nice experience for the aesthetics and for me it's always fun to check out coffee places. read more

Moonwake is a great cafe! The general vibe on a weekday pertains people taking remote days of work at the cafe. I often meet my friends here to talk over coffee or tea and every experience has been consistently great! I've been visiting Moonwake pretty often now, and I have had the ability to try a variety of their teas and other drinks. I have gotten the wild tree yunnan red tea, and the snow jasmine (hot). They have been really solid and soothing options, especially on a cool fall/winter day. The staff are always super friendly and the seating areas are pretty tidy. I have never had a bad experience coming here. I would highly recommend! read more

This has become my favorite cafe and my go-to. All the baristas are incredibly busy but always so nice and patient with all of the patrons. If you want to rush in and out and chug your coffee, then this place isnt necessarily for you. But if you want to slow down and enjoy something really good made with care by people who really care about the product, quality and taste, then you have to try Moonwake. The quality of everything I've had here is top notch and now they have in-house pastries that are mind blowing good. My favorite are the LBG (radish cake) foccacia with chinese sausage, mushroom and green onion and their take on a cardamom bun. My biggest complaint about cardamom treats here is that they are generally too sweet and not cardamom enough for me. This is likely the best Ive had, not too sweet slightly crispy and very cardamom-y in the best way possible. I think their in-house baked goods are currently available only from Thur-Sunday, so check first to avoid disappointment. But I love that their constantly expanding the menu. Many great cafes dont have enough savory options, so I love I can get both savory and sweet treats here to go with my drink. read more

We randomly decided to come here since it was the nearest coffee shop to us (found on maps). We had noooo idea that this was such a hot spot. The line was out the door! That was when we knew we came to the right spot. Inside was crowded and loud. There were people having conversations and studying. It was a nice atmosphere. As for the food and drinks, I really liked all the options they offered. The food sounded amazingggg, but I did not get it this visit. We ended up ordering an Aerocano and yunnan tree red tea. The aerocano was super good. It could be a bit stronger but if you drink coffee purely for the taste of it, it was very much worth. The yunnan red tea was good and refreshing. I thought they would fill up the cup with tea, but I guess they don't here? Probably because it was loose leaf . For both drinks, we paid around $13. Price is decent. Overall, I would come back to try other drinks and definitely try that miso brown butter pumpkin bread (it sounded and looked delicious!). read more

I didn't believe the hype, so I decided to go for the first time. This is one of your favorite barista's favorite coffee shops. It's well known within the bay area industry and local coffee shops that the best of the best baristas are at Moonwake. I can confidently say that this is so frickin' true! We were greeted by two employees immediately, and seriously welcomed with open arms. That Michael guy with the sick 'stache on bar pulled me one of the most pleasant and balanced espressos I've had in months. We ordered the Chocolate Pistachio Mochi Doughnut, the egg sando, a couple matchas, and a shot of espresso. I accidentally ordered to go, but in seconds I had a beautiful set up in my hands, because the barista on bar read his customer and knew how they wanted things prepared. Too often, I get my craft coffee from an angry and disgruntled coffee "master" who doesn't give two cents if the pull time was 20 seconds over dial and in a melting wax cup. This is not that kind of place. Perfect ambiance, outstanding customer service, and I will definitely be talking about my new favorite shop to everyone. Ya got me, guys. Give Michael a raise. read more

I've been to Moonwake several times now, and I absolutely love it every single time. I have loved everything I ordered. Their signature drinks are so yummy; I really liked the recent Sweet Potato Latte that they had for fall. I also love their Vanilla Orange Latte and Matcha Latte, as well as their espresso tonics! Basically, everything I've ever tried was a hit. An additional benefit is that they source their pastries from Neighbor Bakehouse, one of my favorite SF bakeries! I always end up caving and getting a sweet treat along my drink. Other than loving the food and drinks, I adore the space. There are a lot of different seating options and it's very brightly lit inside. It's a great place to get work done, but it does fill up super quickly! I'm usually able to snag a table somehow, but I think I've just been lucky. The baristas are also super friendly--they are incredibly knowledgeable about coffee and are also just really pleasant people. Overall, I'm a huge fan of Moonwake and will return again and again. read more

Excellent spot in an unassuming strip mall. A line for coffee on Sunday early afternoon took me 25 minutes from line to placing order. Interior is clean aesthetic with a window to the roasting equipment. Purchased an iced Cafe Chicheme, which was fun to have dehydrated corn kernels and a sweet corn cream foam. I usually stick to more straightforward options like double espresso but this was a nice switch up. I purchased whole beans and brewed in a French press. It makes a smooth, medium cup with a touch of sweetness. Again, a nice switch up from my usual dark roasts. read more
