Summer Moon Coffee
11010 Slide Rd Suite, Lubbock, TX
Crema's Take
“Summer Moon Coffee is a laid-back, college-friendly spot that's earned devoted fans with its signature moon milk—a sweet, creamy addition that transforms their drinks into something distinctly their own. Beyond the signature drinks, they're experimenting with creative innovations like the Nitro Moon Steamer and pairing them with genuinely excellent pastries (their chocolate chip cookies are apparently legendary). Fair warning: if you're a third wave coffee purist seeking subtlety, this isn't your place, but if you appreciate bold flavors, a relaxed atmosphere, and baristas who actually seem to enjoy what they do, you'll find plenty to love here.”

This was my second visit to this location, and unfortunately both experiences were disappointing due to customer service. I walked in with no line, grabbed the two bags of coffee I wanted, and stood at the counter while a worker looked directly at me and continued doing something else without acknowledging me. Another employee eventually greeted me, but the interaction felt rushed and unwelcoming, like she was trying to get me out of there as quickly as possible. My card hadn’t even finished processing before she walked away. It’s frustrating because I genuinely like the coffee, but the service alone is enough that I won’t return to this location. I’d rather drive across town and try a different one.
Excellent, modern shop. The "moon milk" in everything is a really nice, sweet creamer. Good spot, doesn't fill up too fast, and extremely kind, cool staff. Frequented mostly by college-age folks and young adults. Kolaches are pretty good!
Not a place to go if you like real coffee. It's geared to its signature sweet cream. I don't like a sugary flavoured drink called coffee. Definitely not a Third Wave coffee experience. But may folk love their "coffee" disguised with all sorts of flavors and things. Not for me. The black coffee was bitter. I'm guessing the staff are not trained in how not to under or over extract a coffee shot... anyway enough rambling. Nice place but far too noisy to hold a conversation... music was interfering and the acoustics make all noise louder. I'll pass next time.
Our first time here and we loved it! One of the BEST chocolate chip cookies we’ve ever had! Delicious coffee (I got an iced maple praline latte and hubby got an iced latte with 1/4 moon milk and SF vanilla syrup). Very popular spot and we almost didn’t get a place to sit down. Friendly and helpful staff when we asked questions about the menu. For those that are looking for sugar free options, you have hazelnut and vanilla to choose from. Would definitely come back again!
I had high expectations and they lived up to them! I tried their Nitro Moon Steamer, a steamed nitro cold brew, which I've never seen another coffee shop do before. I was skeptical but it was SO good! I also got their croissant - muffin pastry which was sinfully sugary but undeniably delicious. Music choice was comfy indie music and the volume was appropriate for the space. The staff were all super friendly but not overbearing and everyone seemed pleasant and happy to be there. I'll definitely be coming back.
