You can tell they truly care about quality and craft. The homemade pastries are incredible--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with intention. Their house-made syrups take every drink to the next level and make even a simple latte feel special. The space itself is efficient and thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to relax or get some work done without feeling cramped. On top of all that, the staff is super welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, which makes every visit feel like home. If you're looking for a café that nails coffee, food, atmosphere, and service--this is it.

Nice and smooth like I wanted and it was refreshing on this warm 86 degree day! Staff was friendly and efficient.

If Starry Moon isn't already on your radar, it should be. This spot is easy to overlook--but…read moreabsolutely worth a second look. From the moment you walk in, the vibe pulls you in: quirky, playful, and full of personality. The decor alone feels like a conversation starter. Where else are you going to see two kiwis watching a sloth and a teddy bear play for real cash? Exactly. The drinks hold their own, too. The dirty chai with boba hit that perfect afternoon reset--smooth, energizing, and just indulgent enough. The Thai tea is another standout, whether you go classic or add boba for a little extra texture. Bottom line: fun atmosphere, memorable details, and drinks that deliver. Starry Moon isn't just a stop--it's an experience.

Not too sweet. The Thai tea didn't look like it had any milk in it. It was very strong. The black milk tea was ok but nothing to write home about. And I was disappointed they had no chai tea or spiced tea. The service was fine and answered our questions. It's a cute shop. Asian themed. I'm not sure we will be back.

Ordered the entire family delivery from here as it was near our Airbnb while staying in town for…read morethe week. We tried a plethora of various entrees. (French dip sandwich, stewpot chicken, dinner Mac n Cheese, Tofu Buddha bowl, Tomato Soup, Bacon Cheeseburger). The food arrived hot and tasted good enough, it was like a small diner vs a sit down restaurant vibe taste wise. One complaint: The French dip sandwich arrived with no jus dipping sauce that it was supposed to come with, which left that sandwich dry and boring. I enjoyed the stewpot chicken which is similar to a pot pie, the most out of everything I tried. It tasted rich and french inspired, like the gravy had a roux mixed in it. And a biscuit instead of a crust top.

There was so much thought put into the coordination of the products. The coffee itself was delicious! I got the valentines day flight- 3 tasty coffees paired with 3 bite sized chocolates. My favorite of the 3 was the caramel pecan- it was nutty and sweet without being overpowering. I was impressed with the size of the flight. Every employee I encountered was kind and made me feel welcome. Not only is this an adorable place to shop but there are enough tables that it would be the perfect place to meet a friend for coffee or set up for the afternoon with a book. I was impressed overall with my visit and ill be back!

Decided to try the human being this morning and I started with a blackberry and lavender Italian…read moresoda with oat milk. The bottom was filled with blackberry sauce and they didn't bother mixing the drink, but I got it stirred up and tried it and it was barely edible. No offense to the person who made it, but it was horrible drink. I move onto the frosted Snowberry snowy which was pretty much the same a glass of blueberry sauce in the bottom and like coffee on top. It was extremely sweet and was not in the least bit balanced, so that drink also got tossed.. I got the kicking chicken with the jalapeño biscuit which was better than the drinks by far. The chicken was tasty and moist and the biscuit was dry. Just had to add some hot sauce to it to make it decent. I had really had high hopes of a good experience here and I'm sorry to say it was not but the staff was helpful and polite so that was a plus. Maybe someday I'll try this place again and hope for a better result.

The marzipan drink isn't as sweet as I thought it would be, and the baristas made the espresso drink to fit the full cup. The pandan matcha was super good & a bit "sweeter" so I enjoyed that too.

The coffee here is pretty good, and it's a large bright open space. Servers are kind as well! Just give me some sugar too please!
