Service was great! The coffee was so delicious! The cafe was welcoming and great for a friend hangout

I had a craving for a matcha latte and so I picked the nearest place in the area and this place didn't disappoint! I was a bit thrown off by the overhead sign that read "Oak Roasted Coffee", but looking below on the door I saw Summer Moon Coffee. I walked in and I wouldn't have pictured this place the way it was set up in my mind, it wasn't your average coffee shop. It was chic, stylish, and modern and gave home decor, which I loved. The guy that helped me with my order was very patient and pleasant as I asked him for his recommendation on how to order a semi sweet matcha latte. We landed on the "1/2 Moon Matcha latte" and it was perfect. Not too sweet but also not bitter. There was a good balance and the drink was made pretty quickly read more

I really enjoyed my visit to summer moon coffee. The ambiance is very much cozy coffee shop but also bright and inviting. You can sit by the fireplace and read, listen to music or catch up with a friend or you can sit by the windows and be a bit more lively. I was a tad bit confused about ordering and what the moon lattes were but the barista really helped to explain things to me, as a first time visitor it would have been great to have something that really broke that down a bit more so I could order the best drink for me, but I "researched" on tik tok and left with a delicious coffee! read more

Summer Moon Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

This coffee spot is a cute shop! I really love the atmosphere here. Summer Moon Coffee is welcoming and provides great service. I got their iced Summer Moon latte. It was pretty good, to say the least. I will say that the coffee was a bit bitter for my liking; I could tell it had a hint of lavender in it, and I'm not the biggest lavender fanatic, but other than that, everything was great. I will definitely give this place a try if you're looking for cute coffee shops around the Raleigh/Wake Forest area. read more

First, the location is great, plenty of parking. It's the perfect size, cozy yet spacious. There was a nice crowd of people when I arrived, but I wasn't in line too long. I asked a couple of questions about the pastries and then decided to order their seasonal Autumn Moon Latte w/ Oat Milk and a Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffin!!! While I waited, I sat in one of the very comfy big leather chairs near the front at the fireplace. There are several tables throughout as well. It was love at first sip!!! It literally tasted like a beautiful fall day. The muffin was so fresh and delicious. The service was great might I add. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

Summer Moon Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

I'm a regular at this coffee shop so it's clearly one of my favorites. Every time you walk in they make a point to say hello before you even get to the register. The workers also make a point to remember my name and my order. I bring my laptop and work at the tables. It's such a warm and inviting coffee shop. There's even a fireplace. My go-to order is a chai tea latte and it's my favorite. I don't live super close but I make the trip for it. This place is my second office. I love it. And there's a rewards program which is always a plus. read more

How there are only two of these in existence is beyond me !!! This is best kept secret in the area! The classic moon milk drinks are truly the best coffee I've ever had. 1/4-1/2 moon milk is my suggestion depending on how sweet and creamy you like your coffee. I take all of my new-to-town or visitors here and they're all equally obsessed! read more

As a Seattle-ite, We love a good strong cup of coffee, and have been enjoying finding the local companies and cafes around to break free from "- buks" We informed the young lady we have never been here before and were unaware of how the ordering goes. She did not help up figure out the menu at all. Just stared us down waiting for us to order. We finally order and the coffees were a bit too sweet and too strong. Tasting almost burnt. After getting our coffee we thought it was a nice place to sit for a bit but found the staff and patrons to be a bit awkward and a tad uncomfortable with our presence . Really got the air that they didn't want "US" in there. (And if I'm honest as I frequent the area for Italian ice next door. I never see "US" in there). So we took our coffee and pastries and left. Safe to say we won't be returning. Best of luck to ya. read more

After I was frustrated at being served an iced coffee instead of regular, the owner reached out to my wife to refund the price of her order along with wishing to speak with her for more information. I really appreciate that kind of great customer service and follow-up! read more

Came in thenother day and someone had swipped my drinks! The staff was amazing and made them fresh again. A++++ service and coffee!

We love your store, great coffee, service and atmosphere. But your chairs, the black ones are hard and uncomfortabl. You have to get cushions it detracts from all of the above. We support you and come often but the few cushioned spots are always taken. Please fix and let us forget it. read more

Stopped here on our way home after watching our granddaughter play three soccer games in Wake Forest. I didn't have a clue of what to order but the young lady working that afternoon (12/14) was very helpful and recommended their Quarter Moon Latter with their sweet cream. It was really good coffee. The atmosphere is casual. Two small coffees cost around $11. We will definitely stop by again when we are in the area read more

I have to honestly say that Summer Moon Coffee is the best coffee I have ever had! This was my first visit and it definitely won't be the last. The cafe is cute and welcoming, decorated with the warmth of rustic and mixed with a little bit of "grandma's southern kitchen" charm. The deep-blue walls, leather chairs, glowing fireplace, and bright tiled walls give a sense of comfort and happiness. The staff were all friendly and very quick making the coffee. I ordered the S'more's Latte (iced) and it was the smoothest and most decadent coffee I've ever had without being too sweet. It was perfectly made and I savored every sip. I would absolutely buy their ground coffee to be able to enjoy the wood-fired flavor every morning and I will be back in the cafe for more. Wake Forest officially has the perfect coffee shop! read more

I'm not a coffee guy but my wife is a big fan. Tried out this new-ish spot in a bustling strip mall in WF. The vibe is Starbucks-esque as are the prices. My strawberry refresher was just that... Strawberry syrup and lemonade. It's sweet! Iced Chai with a shot of espresso is an eye-opener. I'm told it was delicious. Not my cup of tea. (Haha - see what I did there?) Cool place... Convenient. And definitely less hectic than SB's. read more

Not a great concept The story is this is a Texas style roast coffee and moon milk. When you walk in it is devoted like a doll house for the opposite effect. Very bad coffee and lattes And end up throwing drink away Safe you cash read more

Summer Moon Coffee - Vanilla Chai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

Excellent customer service and great drinks! Needing a caffeine and chocolate fix, I stopped by Summer Moon Coffee around lunch time. Although the place was busy, the line moved faster than anticipated. I ordered an iced matcha latte made with oat milk and a chocolate croissant. The employees were all friendly and they fulfilled orders quickly. My order was ready soon after placing it. The matcha latte was room temp, but delicious. It had a medium strength matcha flavor. The chocolate croissant was good, but definitely needed to be warmed up. The chocolate inside had hardened. I took my order to-go, however, they have indoor and outdoor seating available. The menu is a little pricy. The interior is nice, modern, and bright. Overall, I had a good experience here and recommend it to others! read more

Food- shut your mouth pastries! Moon milk- sort of like sweet cream but their own spin! So fabulous! Perfectly seasonal drinks and of course your standard go tos too! Service- first time here so of course I asked all the questions and the girls were great! Patient. And explained the roots of Summer Moon Coffee. The baristas took the time to help me pick the perfect drink! Ambiance- so so so cute! Warm. Friendly. Less commercial feel. Think fire place. Comfy chairs. & warm smiling faces! What a fun place to catch up with a friend, get some work done or just relax after some holiday shopping! read more

Summer Moon Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

I was super excited to try out Summer Moon after all the social media buzz! I was surprised how few things were open in this part of the shopping center and was a bit thrown off the signage was Oak Roasters and not Summer Moon. Lovely place and it was bustling on a Saturday morning. I ordered a basic latte and was a bit surprised at how expensive it was even compared to other locally owned shops. It was a great latte, but not sure it was worth the extra especially since I wasn't staying to enjoy the cozy environment. The staff was kind but didn't go out of their way to make conversation or connection. Nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable to draw me back in a hurry. read more

When walk in I felt very uncomfortable not a very friendly environment however I am ok with that I came here to enjoy the experience just like everyone else and I must say the blueberry crisp latte did not disappoint I will return I returned the next day the staff was a little more nicer however I bought my blueberry latte again in hot & cold sooo good read more

I absolutely love coming to Summer Moon! You get a premium drink with first class service all the way! The staff and owners are very welcoming and kind, it makes you feel right at home! My favorite drink is the Espresso Milkshake, you can't go wrong with that! The atmosphere is great, I'm a fan of the art deco design and the internet is pretty fast too which makes it great for me to work on Lightroom photo edits while enjoying a drink. The price is on point as well for the quality of what you get, it's going to taste better than something like a Starbucks which is always burnt and never tastes quite right to me. All in all, this is the place to be in Wake Forest for a cup of coffee! read more

Summer Moon Coffee - Espresso Milkshake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

Tried this coffee shop today of all days, during the big thunderstorm. It didn't have enough sitting area, so we had to run back to our car during the storm. Perhaps if people didn't take up a 6-person table for their party of 2...we ordered a cold brew and a hot mocha moon latte with the pecan croissant and cinnamon pull. No complaints, but also no great reviews. With the new coffee/cafes in the area, it was ok. read more

I'm still sitting here drinking my coffee and felt the need to write review right now of how much I enjoyed the taste of the coffee. This place is sooo cute! My usual to go place is Jubala but because it's a drive from Wake Forest I decided to give this new coffee house a try. It was so beautifully done and decorated to perfection and their own sweet cream is a great way to stand out from other coffee spots in town. I ordered the Iced Blue Moon Latte which was nicely done and refreshing. The employee taking the order was really pleasant and since it was my first time in she really did a nice job explaining the menu. The only thing I would say is that there is not much seating. It might be better to have smaller tables to allow more people to sit as some people stay longer. Other than that, this is going to be one of my go tos from now on. Congrats on the new place ! read more

Coffee has been great.

Love this much needed new coffee shop in Wake Forest. The interior is very cozy when you walk-in. Love how they Oak Roast their coffee and adds their "Moon Milk" sweet cream. We loved their Half Moon Lattes and their pastries. I got the Winter Moon Latte and my friend got the Summer Moon Latte and both were great. Def a must try for coffee if you're in WF. Staff was really nice and helpful. They also have nitro brew on tap which is really cool. Check out @raleating on Instagram & TikTok for recommendations on Triangle food spots! read more

Following the initial review, I did have the opportunity to speak with the owner regarding the concerns from our first visit. The owner was kind, understanding and seems genuinely concerned with wanting to provide a great quality of service at this shop. It does sound as if they are truly working hard to address concerns and to correct them. I feel this goes a long way. We were happy to give them another shot this past weekend and as always, the coffee was great! We had no customer service issues and the staff was friendly and accommodating! read more

I'm having a hard time understanding these negative reviews . I've been obsessed with Summer Moon since it opened. Their velvet blaze blend is amazing! I keep it stocked at home. And I love, love, love the blue moon latte! Don't listen to the neigh-sayers... their coffee is fantastic and the atmosphere is inviting and well-decorated. read more

Such a cute little coffee shop. I had the blue moon latte (lavender flavor) perfectly balanced sometimes floral flavors taste like soap but it was really good. I'll definitely come back again read more

I give the place 5 stars for a gracious staff and clean well lighted place. Great for work with WiFi and outlets at each table. But - I am done with places that charge $1 for substituting oat milk for regular milk. No, no, no, the oat milk is not that much more expensive. I've priced high quality barista endorsed oat milk bought in bulk. It works out to costing at most (did I mention AT MOST) $2.00 per half gallon more than milk. So 2 cappuccinos to cover the full cost of a half gallon price difference? As a coffee snob, and I admit to being snobbier than most - I didn't love the coffee here, and I miss real cups. read more

Wonderful little cafe! The atmosphere is lovely. Baristas are very helpful and friendly. I had some questions about the menu and they were happy to answer. Ended up selecting the lightly sweet "whisper" latte and it was perfect. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

The interior is very cute and modern and as much as I wanted to love this shop, I think I'm too much of a coffee snob I tried the smallest amount they offered of their creamer in my coffee and it was sickly sweet to the point that I couldn't drink it. Great if you like syrupy Starbucks type coffee, but not for my taste. Everyone has been friendly and wonderful so I do give 3 stars for that but as far as the coffee goes, I'm not a fan. The inside is much nicer than other places, but there are just other local roasters/coffee shops that have much better coffee. read more

Best coffee in the Raleigh area. We've tried dozens of places, and this is our go to. We moved from Phoenix and it's been hard to find what we like. If you're into solid, regular espresso this should fit the bill. We don't enjoy citrusy espresso, so this has been a welcome coffee shop. Definitely recommend. read more

Service was good. Coffee - I dunno. The whole "moon milk" thing is gunna take some time to figure out the combination that I like. I wish there were more flavorings...I'm used to paying $11-12 for two lattes. The price here was $14-15 for 2... I know it's opening day, but the music was a little loud for a coffee shop...wasn't giving me the "normal" coffee shop vibe. A bunch of kids running around...That could be a good thing for some.... But not my jam. Would I go back? Probably...eventually...if I were in the direct vicinity. read more

Summer Moon Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

I have been waiting for a coffee shop just like this to come to Wake Forest, and we are lucky to have Summer Moon in the neighborhood. The quarter moon latte is my go-to - just sweet enough without being a calorie and sugar bomb. The atmosphere is really nice with cool tones and a fireplace. You can tell they wanted to make an inviting and comfortable space. The only thing I don't like is the $1.00 service charge that is automatically applied for every mobile order. I guess it is a "convenience fee" but seems out of step with the competition - a labor savings like me placing my own order shouldn't have a cost associated for the customer. read more
