“ Overall this place has a great vibe and is fast and consistent. But PLEASE teach the baristas to not steam the living you know what out of the milk . I’m not going to specifically call out the morning barista who does this but sometimes, even when ordering “less hot”, I still cant drink my coffee for over half an hour. ”
“ Oh. My. God. The other reviewers and Austin-Ians are NOT lying when they say this is the most incredible coffee ever. The moon milk they use is magical indeed I sorely regret getting the special fall pumpkin spice latte instead of the cold brew with the cream foam. That was purely divine and so smooth. They also have bakery items and some gifts, etc. The breakfast tacos are only available until 11 so we just missed them! You HAVE to go here! ”
“ Wow. Honestly, the coffee here was amazing. I am glad I stopped in when I was visiting Austin. The beans are roasted well. Flavor profiles are off the charts, and their "Moon Milk" is actually delicious. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back next time I am in town. You have got to check this place out! ”
“ I have thoroughly enjoyed this location, which I believe, is where Summer Moon started many "moons" ago <3 I lived across the street and always enjoyed their delicious coffee and friendly service, and to this day that remains true - over a decade later. I see now they have many locations all the way out to Kyle. Well deserved success! Much love back at ya''ll. ”
“ I travel a ton and I’ve been to a LOT of coffee shops, this place is truly unique, the vibe is about what you see everywhere, staff is nice enough….but the oak roasted coffee at summer moon is incredible. I don’t know if it’s the moon milk, or the roasting process itself, but I’ve had other oak roasted coffee and this stuff is special. I will 100% be back and asap. I don’t think I’ll be getting coffee anywhere else in Austin for the foreseeable future. ”
“ Summer Moon Coffee Bar: Oak-Infused Bliss on 1st Street Ticking the original Summer Moon Coffee Bar off my coffee bucket list felt like summiting Everest in flip-flops. Nestled on 1st Street in Austin, Texas, this place is a caffeine cathedral. I swaggered in and ordered a 20 oz hot latte with an extra shot, bracing for impact. That first sip? Pure coffee nirvana—like my taste buds threw a rave and invited oak-roasted angels. My home coffee bar, where I play mad scientist with beans and brews, now worships Summer Moon’s Velvet Blaze Oak Roasted whole bean. Oak flavor’s my jam—give me oak-smoked brisket, oak-aged whiskey, heck, oak-roasted socks, and I’m sold. This coffee’s a classic, like a smoky campfire in a cup. My wife’s hooked on their Moon Milk, a creamy wizardry that makes her latte taste like it was kissed by unicorns. The baristas? They’re not just slinging drinks—they’re coffee therapists, ensuring every cup’s a hug in liquid form. The vibe’s cozy, like your favorite broken-in boots, and the service is so spot-on it’s like they read your coffee mind. Every Summer Moon I’ve hit nails this, but the 1st Street original? It’s the oak-roasted cherry on top. My only regret: not ordering a second latte to chug in the parking lot. ”
“ Excellent coffee and Gluten free baked goods. Had the oat milk latte and the coffee was of high quality and the donut was a nice accompaniment. If in the area, this would be my go-to coffee place. ”
