Mixed Fruit Tart $10.25. Beautiful and the fruit was fresh, but a little too sweet for me. I couldn't finish it. Their pastries are on the expensive side, but the quality is good, they have quiche, ham and cheese croissants, coconut macaroons, and so many tempting drinks! Some interesting drinks I spotted: Raspberry White Chocolate Matcha & Espresso Con Panna. There were so many things I wanted to try.

This one was done nearly perfectly. It's a black sesame orange blossom latte topped with a coconut and cream cold foam. The cold foam was great, light, creamy, and properly sweetened but honestly, I would've loved the latte even without it. The balance of black sesame is excellent. You can actually taste it, while the orange blossom complements ut well. Definitely coming back here. The service was great too. I got to chat with two of the workers for a while about coffee, and they were both incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. My only complaint is that in comparison to other coffee shops the space is very limited. There is a bit of bar style seating against the wall inside and a few chairs in the middle but no tables. Outside you do have I believe four small circle tables with two chairs at each.

It was a bit pricey compared to other flavored lattes in Austin but I do think they are very creative and original.

They transformed this place into a lovely spot: to grab a brew, do homework, or even bring the kiddos. I saw a mom early this morning with three of them in tow- all in their jammies! :) I love that they have a board for orders. They tell you that it's been: received, in progress, or done. I think they hit the done button too quickly as it said mine was done but then it was another five or so minutes until it was actually done. They were slammed with orders so perhaps it was just a busy time. I will definitely be back when I'm in the neighborhood. I doubt that I'll be back on a work day as the traffic is already horrendous with all of the construction. You would have to give yourself plenty of wiggle room for time and getting to your destination. Ordering ahead would be the way to go. The outside space leaves a little to be desired. It seemed pretty barren and things needed to be wiped down. The baristas were friendly and they were taking good care of keeping their work spaces tidy.

Sometimes the barista is very kind and respectful but other times (like today) the barista on duty seems to hate everyone and everything. I don't like feeling punished for being friendly, tipping well, and doing nothing wrong except choosing to get coffee here instead of the dozens of other cafes in the area. It's off putting to be greeted with a scowl and the barista glaring constantly as they take my order. Everyone has bad days at work but I hate playing barista roulette when I come here. Otherwise, such a cute vibe to hangout and chat with friends!

The matcha cloud was bitter and creamy - tasted reminiscent of a matcha pocky. The sweet potato latte is phenomenal. They use real sweet potato which adds tiny chunks of sweet potato with each sip.

I did not taste any of the food items, but I did go in and order a chestnut latte and it was much more like flavored syrup and milk than it was coffee. The customer service was great, both of the girls were really sweet and very inviting to everyone that walked through the doors, but the coffee itself did not quite meet my expectation. And being that I felt super sleepy right away. Let me know that it really didn't have too much coffee in it. I was driving back home to San Antonio and had to pull over and get coffee from somewhere else. I would say that it would be good for an afternoon coffee, where you don't necessarily need the caffeine but as my morning coffee, this did not quite meet the need. Next time I'm in Austin I might try one of their other beverage options and some of their food options because everything looked really good and it looked like they had some regulars that walked in that morning so they are definitely doing something right.

My friend Alyssa absolutely loves Summer Moon, it's her favorite place. For my recent birthday, she bought me a Summer Moon gift card. On 9/4/26, thanks to her I was able to see for myself why she loves it so much. The coffee is organically grown and roasted in an open flame brick roaster. Wow. You can totally taste that uniqueness in the blends. Holy poo, that Moon Milk is something else! It's a signature sweet cream that's like the icing on the liquid cake. Kinda literally. I ordered the Winter Moon Latte (iced): Velvet Blaze Espresso topped with Moon Milk. Absolutely delicious. Next time I'm going to check out another location to try the seasonal Iced Pumpkin Moon Latte. What I didn't realize until my visit is that it's a chain with locations in places like Arkansas, Kansas, Florida, and a few other states. Even though it's a chain, each one is locally owned. The outdoor patio is dog-friendly and that means the world to me. The interior design is modern and welcoming. Service is professional and friendly. Thanks, Alyssa!

The area it is in is gorgeous and was not expecting to feel like I was in a different world. Appetizers that were supplied for the wedding were great, but I thought the main meal was kind of lacking and kind of inconsistent. I understand it's hard to cater for that many guests though. Most staff were pleasant and welcoming but had a couple of experiences where we felt very rushed and herded around the property. Despite my concerns this is definitely a special place to get married and a gem on this side of Austin! Lalala, Bob B.

I made a reservation over a week ahead of time to celebrate the birthday of one of my friends and…read morepaid the $25 deposit to hold the reservation. Our reservation was on June 11th at 7:30. We arrived at 7:32. When our party of four arrived, we were told there was no table for us. Even though there were two tables available in the dining room. We were told that those tables were reserved for someone else and we could not sit at that table. We were told that it was another reservation for 730. We were not offered any accommodation, even though there were four barstools at the bar open, except to sit outside on the patio in the 90° heat. We refused and decided to find a different place to eat. It was very shocking that they treated us in this manner as I have been a guest at the Wayback multiple times and never had this experience. It was almost like it was a prank. We went back to the car to find another restaurant to celebrate my friend's birthday. While we are making arrangements for that, I realized that I had paid $25 for this reservation that they were not honoring and I wanted to make sure I requested that be returned. I went back into the dining room at 7:50 and the table for four that they refused to sit us at was still available. Amy, the young lady who said she was "like a manager", treated us as though we had done something wrong. When I went back in and requested my $25 back from her she made some comment regarding my refund tied to whether we gave them a bad review for the incident (one of my friends as we walked out of the dining room, said she would be leaving a review). I called the main number the following day and spoke with Vicky. Vicky told me she wanted to look into the situation and figure out what had happened. I told her the intention of my call was to get my the deposit refunded. She called me back a few hours later explaining it was their fault. She said that there was another person in the restaurant that had my same name and they wanted to move from the patio to the dining room and the staff gave away our reservation to that party. Understandable. She was apologetic and told me she would take care of the refund and also offered to send me $50 gift card through Toast. I'm not even really sure how that works or what that is, but I really just wanted to close out the whole deal. No refund or Gift Card ever showed up. I know sometimes that can take a little bit of time so I waited until the 25th and called back. No one answered. I left a message and did not get a returned call. I called again at about 11 AM on the 26th again no answer. I did not leave another message. I called again around 4pm. Amy, the young lady we dealt with on the evening of the event, answered the phone. She said the people in the office had already left for the day and she would take my phone number and name and somebody would call me on Monday. She called me back about 30 minutes later telling me she needed the card number that the reservation was made under. I didn't really feel comfortable giving that to her so I just said I would wait to hear from the office staff on Monday. Well no one called on Monday. No one called on Tuesday either. I called in on Wednesday and spoke with Vicky again. She said she had gone out of town and doesn't know why the refund was not taken care of. She said she was needed some time to look into it. I asked her to call me back when she had some resolution. I did not hear back from Vicky but today I got an email from toast that a $25 refund to my credit card had been run.... and I never provided my card number to have that refund issued. I do not take any pleasure in writing a bad review for a business. I waited to write this review until there had been full resolution so I gave them plenty of opportunities to communicate clearly and make this situation right. It kept getting fumbled which leaves me with the impression that they don't care about customer service.

With such a variety of dishes comprised of equally diverse flavors, colors, and textures, it puts the average bento box to shame.

There are tons of lovely little bites, too. Onigiri are possibly their signature snack, and for good reason. Both the pickled vegetable and avocado varieties were beautifully formed and deceptively simple, letting the quality of each ingredient shine.

The staff was friendly and I really liked the vibe/decor inside, and that you can get food, ice cream, coffee, or a beer! Whatever you are in the mood for! We wanted some finger food so we got a variety of onigiri, some potstickers, chicken karaage, and spicy edamame. There was a short wait past the time quoted but it wasn't long, the staff was very communicative about it, and the food was fresh and hot when I received it. I'd rather have hot food a little late than lukewarm food any day! When we got to karaoke and dug in everything was still hot and delicious. I think my favorite were the potstickers but those are just one of my favorite things anyways lol, the onigiri was great, chicken was juicy, and the edamame just a little bit spicy.
