Summer Moon Coffee (South 1st) — Restaurant in Austin

MOON MILK IS LIQUID GOLD. SERIOUSLY.

Summermoon is my new safe haven. My old roommate is obsessed with Summermoon and I finally tried it out this year, and I'm so glad I did. It's such a cute and comfortable coffee shop with an ample amount of inside seating and also an outdoor patio for beautiful days like today. It's a great place to get some work done and practically hibernate for six hours, but also a great place to relax, read a book, catch up with friends, or even grab a drink and go. Whatever suits your fancy, Summermoon is perfect, in every way.

The coffee and espresso drinks are delicious, as they should be. They are the only place that I know of that serves wood-fired coffee which actually makes a difference in the taste. Their black coffee is delicious, but when I'm here, I more so gravitate to any drink that contains even a teaspoon of moon milk - it makes everything so heavenly. I still have no idea exactly what it is - some sort of sweet, white cream - but whatever it is I want it. All of it. It's mine. And no sharing.

The Half Wintermoon is my favorite drink as the Wintermoon (which contains twice the amount of moon milk) is a bit too sweet for me. When it comes to hot drinks, I prefer their warm counterparts - the Half Moon Latte over the Summermoon Latte. The Chai Vanilla Latte is another one of my favorites and beats out any other Chai Latte I've ever had, and I think I'm a pretty tough critic when it comes to chai lattes. The Moon Glacier (you can choose Vanilla, Java Chip, or Heath Bar) is also really good, but is definitely more of a milkshake rather than a more liquid drink which I wasn't really prepared for. Even so, I can't complain about it at all - it's delicious. I haven't tried anything that I haven't liked so close your eyes, play eenie meenie miney mo, and take your pick! Also, for all you non-coffee drinkers, they have a great selection of Mighty Leaf teas, which are great since they are a full-leaf tea.

Their snack and food options are also good and range from pastries to empanadas from Mmmpanadas which is great for some sustenance when camping out for a while. And believe me, you will be camping out for a while - there's free wifi, tons of outlets, tons of seating, and it's overall a great atmosphere - great lighting, cute lamps, and interesting decor. The fact that there is parking lot in the front and in the back makes it stress-free to come and go. So definitely...

I have been going to Summermoon for a while now and love the recipes and have had good experiences in the past. I recently discovered the Keto Bravo due to my diet restrictions and prefer to have it on ice.

Today I went in to order the Keto Bravo on ice, and the manager named Sarah was running the register. She made a huge deal about the fact that it was on ice, saying that corporate was strict about following rules and that drink is not supposed to be made that way, and there are absolutely no exceptions for "custom drinks". She was waving her index finger around and pointing at the other employees, raising her voice, saying that they aren't supposed to be adding ice to the drink and that she is going to have a correctional meeting with them to ensure that I am unable to ever order that drink again with ice. She stated that this time she will allow it, but not to expect it again. Than proceeded to rudely thank me for alerting her of the problem. Dismissing my concern and projecting a negative attitude and tone, clearly upset. I did not feel welcome.

This experience was so abrasive to my friend that came with me for the first time, upsetting her and never wanting to go back to this place, for how we were treated. I also don't appreciate being treated this way when asking to add ice to a drink.

I wanted to bring light to this particular manager, and have a resolution. I mainly want to have a Keto Bravo on ice, it taste so good! Though if my business is not appreciated, i will take...

I have been a regular at Summer Moon Burnet for a while and have always been impressed. HOWEVER, I was incredibly disappointed with my experience at Summer Moon on 1st Street. To start, the girl at the cash register was extremely unpleasant. I understand that 6:30 in the morning is early, but do not take an early morning job if you cannot put on a smile and at least pretend to be nice. To worsen the experience, I had an allergy concern that the employees/management did not even pretend to care about. I purchased a half moon latte for a coworker. After taking a sip, she started showing signs of an allergic reaction (I learned at that point she was allergic to tree nuts). When I called the shop to ask about an allergen list or if there was any form of nuts in the coffee, the girl on the phone refused to help me, stating that she couldn’t tell me because “the recipe is a secret.” I was not asking for a step by step process or full list of ingredients, I just needed to know whether or not there were any nut products in the coffee. When I asked to speak to the manager, he was apparently too busy and said he would call me back. He never did. I am very disappointed in my experience. I will continue to go to the location on Burnet, but I will not be returning to the 1st Street location which is a shame since it is so...
