    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.

    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.

    1/4 Moon Milk

    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!

    Candles, coffee cups, and coffee bags for purchase.

    Cute little coffee shop. Gingerbread latte was delicious. Friendly staff. I will definitely be back.

    All coffee is made iced, whether you order it or not.

    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!

    This shop is total #vibes. Although it's a chain coffee shop it feels like a local shop with great taste in design. The barista quickly took my order and was very bubbly. I ordered a quad shaken moon which was perfect for helping me get through a hectic work day!

    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

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Beautiful Bar Area

    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.

I've been here many times and there's always something new to try. This visit I ordered the special Lovers Latte, with raspberry flavors. It was not overly sweet but just right.

It's clean, parking is fairly easy and there's seating indoors and outside. They even have a coffee bag vending machine out front now. That's pretty cool.

Whether you're wanting a great cup of coffee at their cafe or want to brew your own at home, it doesn't get any better than this! I recently bought a bag of Esteban Zamora and it was one of the most amazing cups of coffee I've ever brewed. Imagine a great cup of coffee with hints of cinnamon and apple pie but without being sweet and beautifully enhancing that warm, roasted goodness. I love the downtown Raleigh location too. They have a great courtyard patio to hang out and enjoy a cup of coffee when the weather is nice.

When I was told, I looked around for a tip jar. There was no tip jar! This place was HOPPING with people, all enjoying their free açaí bowls and smoothies...and no tip jar. Come on Wake Forest...do better! So, they created a tip jar and I gave them $20 because I was not prepared to come in and get free açaí bowls.

You guys. Playa Bowls is where it's at!!! The bowls are fairly large, not overly sweet, and I feel like I'm making a healthier decision over fast food. No other place nearby has goji berries, which is an obsession of mine. Huge bonus points! Playa Bowls is now my go-to. So happy this place opened!
