The waiting is long around Saturday brunch hours - I hope they will improve after a few weeks know their traffic. We tried four drinks all with no sweet, but somehow the Adeni Chai was still sweet; Yemeni latte was good but I would prefer not sipping too much leaves when I was down to last 15% of the cup; cortado was ok, and Turkish coffee was sour. Overall the quality was not as impressive as I read from the Texas store, I will give its matcha line a try the next time just to make sure I do not miss all its star items.

What made it even better was the Snoopy memorabilia everywhere! It gave the space such a fun personality and made it uniquely charming compared to your typical coffee stop. The menu here is delightfully creative, with a mix of classics and signature house drinks -- from lattes to seasonal specials like the Cinnamon Roll (a brown sugar latte with cream cheese cold foam!) to the Lavender Matcha and crowd-favorite Poppy Latte. Customer service here deserves a special shout-out. The staff was genuinely warm, attentive, and happy to chat a bit -- which made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. If you love cozy vibes, friendly service, and a quirky theme (Snoopy fans especially ), you have to check this place out. It's one of those coffee shops that feels like a hidden gem -- perfect for solo coffee dates, casual hangs, or just a comforting caffeine break. Would absolutely return!

Staff is always super friendly and they even offer a student discount with your ID. Really should be gatekeeping this spot but have to give them their flowers.

My sister and I stopped by Merit so I can try and rate the cortado for my silly little cortado review series. I also ordered the Purple Haze Latte and a poptart (courtesy of Bakery Lorraine). The cortado was surprisingly good. I say surprisingly because normally Merit's coffee is too fruity (and a bit funky) for me, but this was bold and right and made my ears tingle. Nice and creamy, and not watery. A very top notch standard cortado. The purple haze tasted like relaxing on the beach. It even had little bits of dried ube on top, like a little purple sandy beach. I'm pretty glad Merit's making me re-think their beans. That cortado is something I still think about, even though it's been about a month since my visit.

Last weekend, I decided to wait in the line and it went by much faster than I thought it would. We ordered the iced cookie butter matcha with an almond croissant. This might've been one of the best almond croissants I've had too, it was flaky on the outside and soft, sweet. I'm for all things cookie butter and this one did NOT disappoint. It was a perfect balance of sweet with still that lovely matcha flavor. I went with a friend who doesn't like matcha and even he was enjoying it. The second time I went is when they were running a matcha promo that they announced on their instagram (definitely follow the there!) and so I went for my midday pickup and there was a small line of about 7 people. It went by pretty fast. We were intrigued by the horchata milk and the employee let us try a bit and we were convinced that was the one. We got the horchata matcha and the banana matcha with banana cream. I definitely loved both of them but if I had to pick a favorite, it would def be that banana matcha. Perfect balance of that real tasting banana flavor (I dislike any of the artificial fruit flavorings) with the well-balanced matcha. The employees were all super friendly as they even encouraged us to ask for modifications after we got our drinks. Overall, i'll definitely be back and I 1000% get the hype now!!

I forgot the exact flavors I got, but I remember trying pistachio, Dubai chocolate, and one other flavor. They were all really good. Since I was hungry, I also grabbed a chocolate croissant, which was delicious as well. I forgot to ask them to heat it up, but it was still very enjoyable. On the side, I tried their ice cream, and it was honestly some of the best ice cream I've had in San Antonio. I believe I got pistachio, taro, and coffee on the bottom, and they were all great. At the end, I also got Turkish coffee just out of curiosity. It's not in the picture because I purchased it after I finished my dessert. The coffee was very strong, with a unique flavor that made it fun to try. One small suggestion: the coffee was very very hot and nearly overflowed the small cup, so it might be helpful to add a "cup sleeve", use a slightly bigger cup, or offer an option to make it a bit cooler (adding an ice or two). Overall, this is definitely a cool place to hang out, especially if you enjoy sweets, coffee, and trying different flavors. Highly recommended and will be back for more!

This was my first time at this Summer Moon location. I've been to the Tri-Point location several…read moretimes and never been disappointed. I went on a Monday afternoon to the Medical Drive location. It was quiet, with only a couple of other patrons. I ordered a double Chai which confused the server as he thought I wanted a double espresso shot in the chai, not an uncommon mistake. Chai can be so variable. Most places just use a pre-made syrup (usually Tazo) but what makes the difference is the heat of the milk. I've had them from faux-bucks and it was barely room temp. This was piping hot and even though it was served in a to-go style cup stayed hot for the 40 mins it took me to drink it. The seating is a mix of high tables, couches and comfy chairs. Which makes it the perfect spot for me when I want to get away from the house to read. Overall a very good experience and I'd recommend this Summer Moon.

Review Update: The best Summer Moon visit I've had…read more Coffee shop and specialty shop barista here! I've been to a couple of Summer Moon locations and have never really been a fan. My last experience with this one on the other hand was very pleasant. The baristas were super friendly and swift with our order, the cafe itself was clean despite a decent sized crowd, and our order was pretty satisfying. We ordered a Matcha Moon Latte with Lavender, another Matcha Moon Latte with Hazelnut, a Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin, and a Mixed Berry Poptart. Our Matcha Moons were both pretty good; while the lavender was rather subtle and melded well with the moon milk, the hazelnut was in fact a little heavy in flavor. The Poptart was very sweet and yummy, though I admittedly didn't eat all of the crust, and the Muffin was an equal blend of chocolate and banana, rich and moist, and was absolutely delicious overall. If I'm ever in the mood for Summer Moon I will most definitely go out of my way to visit this location. This trip definitely changed my view of Summer Moon in its favor!

Summer Moon Coffee is great and this location is no exception. They specialize in sweeter, calorically dense, caffeinated beverages, with their signature Moon Milk being a stand out and my usual go to. They offer varying levels of sweetness, so everyone has the opportunity to dial in the beverage to their liking. They offer all the traditional coffee house staples as well, but I haven't personally tried any of those and can't speak to their quality. Prices are comparable to other coffee chains in the area. Ambient noise level inside the cafe was low and would be a well suited location to get some work done or study, several patrons seemed to be doing so. They offer WiFi, and the Verizon 5G signal was very strong inside. This location is a part of the Tripoint complex, shared with the D.R. Semmes Family YMCA and Trinity Baptist Church. Definitely worth stopping by for your caffeine fix after a workout if you're already in the area, but probably not a location I would come to for just the coffee. Things worth knowing ahead of time: They offer a drive through in you're in a hurry or stopping by on your way to work. Their restrooms are located just outside of the cafe area and shared by the church they share the building with.

I stopped in recently with a group of friends for brunch and I already know it won't be our last visit.

You do go inside to a counter to order (conveniently located by the pastry case) and take a number and wait for your yummy food to be brought out to you. I opted to go with Chilaquiles with pork belly and it was soooooo good. Highly recommend. It's a very generous serving also and I wasn't able to completely finish my plate. Everyone else at my table absolutely raved about their dishes too so I don't think any option you go with will be a bad one. Check them out for your next brunch or lunch outing!
