Moon Rise Cafe
6020 Main St SW, Lakewood, WA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Lakewood neighborhood gem pulls in devoted regulars with genuinely generous portions and fair prices that feel almost refreshingly honest in today's coffee shop landscape. The drip coffee hits the mark, but what really sets Moon Rise apart is the warmth of the place itself—from the friendly staff who'll problem-solve on the fly (like swapping in vegan sausage when they're out of tofu) to the full breakfast and light food offerings that go beyond typical cafe fare, all served in a cozy space that's perfect for lingering with friends or family, even if you might need to call ahead for seating during their popular hours.”

If your debating on checking this place out, just go. There portions are huge and prices fair. Very good drip coffee. Everyone there is so friendly. Service and food is top notch. My new favorite breakfast spot. I love the "bar" seating it is so cute. Truly reminds me of a small neighborhood friendly café. Makes me happy!
This was such a wonderful discovery in Lakewood, WA. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous portions of both the delicious drinks and the vegan options, which were well-priced. The coffee tastes delicious, and you have a very nice selection to try. Definitely a must-visit if you are in the Lakewood area! I especially enjoyed the lavender latte and the vegan scramble with English muffins & hash browns for brunch💜
Great restaurant! The food is delightful and the portions are huge. I would recommend calling ahead to get on the wait list before arriving, since there's extremely limited seating and it's a super popular brunch spot in the area. The wait can be pretty long on weekends, but the food and drinks are worth it!
Pretty solid little cafe. Stopped here for breakfast — ordered the tofu scramble, they were out of tofu but offered me some vegan sausage instead which was great. Killer hash browns too.
Update 9/24/25: My husband and I have been back a number of times since my original review. This cafe has great hometown taste cooking with fairly decent pricing. We LOVE the hash browns!!! They are grated thin and fried up nicely crispy. ( My husband twirls them around his fork like spaghetti! ). We have ordered the Eggs Benedict Platter, Meat Lovers Omelet and Waffles. ( If I order the waffle , I usually add bacon and hash browns ala carte). Great selection of teas and coffees. Really delicious!! Highly recommend. Weekends are SUPER busy, so come early or be prepared to wait. This is a cozy little cafe. (There are 9 tables and 5 bar stools chairs at the counter)
