I love stopping in for a Turkish coffee or pistachio latte. The Turkish coffee is rich, aromatic, and pleasantly intense, while the pistachio latte is smooth and creamy with just enough nutty sweetness to keep it from feeling overly sugary. The shop is always clean, bright, and welcoming, and the staff are consistently friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and genuinely good service. And honestly, once you've had a Turkish coffee or pistachio latte here, Starbucks starts feeling a little... pedestrian.

I recently visited Qmaria Yemeni Coffee on Westbrook Drive and had a wonderful experience. The…read moreplace has a cozy and welcoming vibe, with a warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee .The staff was friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. I decided to try The Mufawaar that had a deep rich flavor with just the right balance of spices . It had a unique twist compared to regular coffee. It felt smooth and comforting, something that stands out from the usual coffee shop drinks. But the presentation was good . Along with the coffee , I ordered a Ferrero Tiramisu pastry, which was a real treat. It was soft, layered beautifully, and had just the right touch of sweetness without being heavy. The chocolate and hazelnut flavors paired perfectly with the coffee, making it a delightful combination. I liked the coffee mugs they used I really liked about this place is how it blends traditional Yemeni coffee culture with a modern café feel. This place is spacious enough to sit and relax.

At first I was skeptical because this wasn't a Mexican restaurant and those places usually have the best Horchata. I was pleasantly surprised, the Horchata from Candy Cloud was outstanding. My daughter and her friend each ordered some sort of coconut lemonade drinks which they added boba and cold foam to. They said they loved their drinks as well. Service was fast and friendly. I'll definitely return and maybe try out a coffee drink next time.

Great drink options and decent snacks too but I haven't landed on something I really like just yet…read more First time I stopped in I got the Golden Hour Breve and it was pretty good but still a little bit too much on the sweet side for me. On my second trip I brought my nieces along who were super excited because they had seen some of the drinks on TikTok. One got a golden hour breve which she really enjoyed except that she went against my advice and asked for extra drizzle and vanilla bean cold foam so the bottom of the drink was just like concentrated sweetness. The other one got an iced milk tea with the brown sugar boba and vanilla bean cold foam and was "in heaven" with how good the drink was according to her. I got the seasonal horchata latte for myself and it was a decent take on the drink and worth trying but I think I preferred the golden hour breve. My nieces also tried the chocolate chip cookie and cinnamon sugar donut bites with caramel sauce. They liked the cookies but thought they'd be more warm/fresh out of the oven. They loved the donut bites with that tasty caramel sauce though. I think I might give the pretzel bites option a try next time I stop in. The shop has a really clean look and feel. It's pretty hands off with kiosk ordering and digital menus but when the staff did interact with customers they were friendly. Unless you're going to be downing your drink quickly I would suggest ordering extra ice when it's warmer out. Both times I ordered I noticed my ice was gone pretty quickly. I know it's a normal thing that happens when you have hot coffee or boba syrup mixing with iced elements but just thought I'd mention it to give a heads up to others.

Okay... I get the hype!…read more First time at Summer Moon Coffee and I'm officially obsessed! The Matcha Moon Latte was so good; creamy, smooth, perfectly sweet, and just the right amount of matcha. I'm convinced their Moon Milk is the secret sauce because it really takes this latte to another level! The ambiance is just as cute as the drinks. It's a small, cozy coffee shop with a really relaxed atmosphere, games you can play while hanging out, and plenty of cute little spots that are basically made for an Instagram photo. Definitely feels like a place you could easily spend some time catching up with friends or getting some work done. It was a busy Sunday morning with a pretty long wait, but the line moved along quickly. The staff were friendly and everyone was hustling at their ordering stations, so the wait didn't feel too painful. Funny little moment: they somehow got my name wrong, so we were trying to figure out where my drinks were... only to discover they had been made under my alter ego, Allie Now I'm excited to work my way through the rest of their menu because there are SO many drinks I want to try. But let's be honest... there's a very good chance I'll just order the Matcha Moon Latte again. Definitely a new coffee shop favorite!

First of all, I am obsessed with the space itself. The sleek navy blue and white hexagonal tiles, exposed brick wall, and gold decor touches give the coffee shop a modern industrial chic vibe. There is ample seating, with tables for two, larger groups, as well as plush lounge chairs. The staff at the counter are very friendly and informative. The first time I visited, I did not understand the moon concept. They kindly explained that Moon Milk is their blend of an ultra-creamy sweet cream mixture used in place of typical dairy options in their drinks. There is a poster by the menu that explains the ratio of Moon Milk to expresso in each drink. The staff was very patient each time I went with someone new, to explain this. Alright, time for the drinks and food. The cold brew is bold and smooth in flavor. My parents have had the Mocha Moon Latte and said it is absolutely delicious. My boyfriend, his uncle and I all ordered the iced S'mores latte another time and loved it. The ham and cheese croissant was a yummy savory option if you are looking to grab a bite to eat. Summer Moon Coffee is a wonderful additional to Wheaton! It is the perfect spot to catch up and hang out with friends or get some work done.

It was impossible to cut and whatever mixture was in the middle was too sweet. I'll come back to try another latte and maybe a specialty cheesecake slice. They had plenty of cheesecake options!
