🌙 Summer Moon Coffee｜McKinney Branch Experience Notes

The much‑hyped "Moon Coffee" I'd been hearing about from friends—I finally found it at a corner in McKinney's historic district. The wooden barn‑style exterior and neon moon sign create a quirky contrast. The moment you open the door, you’re wrapped in the rich aroma of roasting beans—but sadly, the signature Winter Moon Latte was as sweet as a melted caramel waterfall. ☕ Honest Review 🔸 Winter Moon Latte: Sweetness warning: ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ (default syrup level feels like drinking straight maple syrup) Secret order phrase: "Half sweet, extra shot, oat milk" (half sugar + extra espresso + oat milk) Mysterious black "moon powder" at the bottom (actually a mix of cocoa and spices) 🔸 Worth Trying Instead: ✅ Half Moon (half‑sweet version) ✅ Dark Moon (dark chocolate blended with espresso, balanced bittersweetness) ✅ Seasonal Special: Texas Pecan Latte (topped with crushed pecans) 🌗 Vibe Highlights Back patio with hanging woven hammocks, perfect for sunbathing and reading Every Wednesday "Heartbreak Care Day": buy a coffee, get a handwritten anonymous comfort card Coffee beans sourced from the family's own estate; packaging printed with moon phase charts ⚠️ Tips to Avoid Disappointment All "Moon Series" drinks are extremely sweet by default—always ask for less sugar The pastry case often sells out after 3 PM; try to grab a lemon poppy seed muffin by 10 AM Parking note: only 6 spots behind the shop, but you can park across the street at the courthouse square 📝 Local's Little Secret "Truthfully, Summer Moon at 7 AM is the real deal—freshly baked apple pie paired with decaf coffee, sweet enough to gently wake up a Texas dawn." #SummerMoonCoffee #McKinneyCoffeeShop #MoonLatte#McKinney#McKinneylfe#McKinneycoffee#Texas
