Moonlight Cafe
200 W Lake St, Minneapolis, MN
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside Karmel Mall, this café is a serene oasis for focused work or unhurried meetings, with an especially magical quiet that descends in early mornings and late evenings. Their matcha drinks are the real star—whether you're ordering a strawberry matcha, ube matcha, or vanilla matcha—and they nail the balance of sweetness across their entire menu, from Spanish lattes to creative signature drinks like their pistachio tres leches. The beautifully designed space and genuinely attentive service make it feel like a hidden gem worth seeking out.”

My favorite mall spot. It’s very quiet in the early morning and late evening, perfect for studying, working, or meetings. Plus, the service is absolutely amazing!
Very hard to find but WOW so worth it! I got the Ube Matcha and my friend got the Spanish Latte and both are amazing. The service was so great and I love the atmosphere too! They even have a girls only room 💗
The service was amazing! I ordered a pumpkin chai latte and spanish latte and it was delicious, it was perfectly sweet but not TOO sweet. Would recommend to everyone 👍🏽😆 and they have a private room in the back for the girlys!
actually my favorite café ever. no drink has ever failed me, whether it’s the strawberry matcha, vanilla matcha, cookie butter latte, or white chocolate mocha. their pistachio trés leches is so delicious! the place itself is so cute, there’s a separated (but still very aesthetic!) nook for women enclosed with a sliding door, which is my favorite part of course. and they have games to play with your friends!! i’ve played checkers and mancala with some of my girls here, but they also have chess and uno. and being inside a mall, there’s not a ton of foot traffic! plus service is incredible. seriously the best spot 💗
So I stepped into this beautiful new cafe that opened up inside the Karmel mall today and I was pleasantly surprised by the aesthetics. It was very beautifully designed. I ordered a strawberry matcha and I enjoyed it. If you are a seasoned matcha individual you might want to ask for more match powder and less on the sweetness. But for the beginner matcha connoisseur, (ie. Myself) it was perfectly made! 10/10. Definitely recommend to all. Stop by. To study. To meet. To socialize. Just stop by.
