Summer Moon Coffee (South 1st)
3115 S 1st St #1b, Austin, TX
Crema's Take
“This Austin hotspot has earned serious devotion from traveling coffee enthusiasts with its distinctive oak-roasted coffee that sets it apart from the typical specialty coffee scene. Their signature creations like the Moon Shaker (a shaken espresso with a pleasantly bold bite) and inventive drinks such as their Moon Milk affogato-style creation showcase a willingness to experiment beyond standard offerings, while their early opening hours and quality gluten-free pastries make it an ideal stop whether you're chasing that perfect espresso or settling in for a leisurely morning. The cool interior vibe and genuinely nice staff create the kind of place that earns a spot on serious coffee lovers' bucket lists.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. Pastries on the menu. Opens early.
