The cardamon orange latte is exceptional and the vibe is on point.

Great little place. Very Zen. Reminds me of a little cafe in Japan! Good egg sandwich and the latte was perfect!

So we had heard about this place and I have to say that from the moment we walked in we were not dissapointed. The first thing we noticed was was how quickly we were greeted by the friendly barrista team at the counter. Interior wise, the open concept is striking, refreshingly ornamented with plenty of natures emerald that lines the edges of the entire space. This place even on a weekday was busy but in a vibrant and uplifting way.

We ordered the cryo-milk cortado which if you’ve been living under a rock takes whole milk and dehydrates it so that liquid whole milk can then be used to re-hydrate it leaving only the yummiest elements of the milk in the flavour profile. We also got the orange cardamom latte half sweet along with their egg sando and their regular croissant warmed up. The person at the counter was lovely and took us through what each item that we were curious about was, making fair recommendations and it was evident that he’s passionate about what he does!

I loved that the food and coffee came out super quick and that they say your name with each item enthusiastically and wait for you to come collect your item which is a lost art just because of the demand of output. You can see the guy through a huge glass wall in the back roasting the beans and another guy on laptops doing other work. It’s very unique. Lots of outlets novel reading clientele.

The sando was phenomenal. Yum. The croissant was devoured quickly. Despite it not being super flaky, if you’re an “inside crab claw of the croissant” person, you’re in for a treat because that was really buttery. The latte flavour was solid and I would get an extra shot of espresso with 1/3 sweet next time. The cortado was very high quality and the cryogenically modified whole milk was worth the try, although if you’re not a fan of fruity notes you can opt for the earthier tones sometimes as they have three varying roasts. They also had a roast from China which was a first! Highly recommend for the vibes and you cannot go wrong with the coffee. Also the latte art was impeccable.

Awesome drinks and service. Plus there’s plenty of places to sit. Nice decoration and good WiFi if you want to work. Only complaint is that it can get a little loud.

Lovely spot with a perfect cappuccino for coffee lovers! 😊 It gets busy on weekends, but I still managed to find a seat. The espresso is bold and strong — just right if that’s your preference.

The coffee, pastry, and people are great. I’ve had the Americano (medium and dark), vanilla latte and matcha lattes. I came back multiple times for the Americano and latte. Egg sando and the everything croissant are 👌🏻.

Moonwake is such a local gem, and I'm so thrilled they opened in our neighborhood. The owners are so knowledgeable and passionate about coffee roasting and creating the best product.

I love their orange cardamom latte and savory pastries. The team is always so friendly and welcoming - it's really a unique sense of community that is hard to find in Silicon Valley coffee shops.

The interior is so bright and modern - love working from here and sitting among the plants. Plenty of tables, but seats do fill up fast since it's such a greay place to meet and work. All in all, a fantastic coffee stop.

Easily the best coffee shop in the south bay, and it is internationally renowned as a roaster. Their pour over game is top notch; why not stay for a $10 pour over that will probably change your mind about what coffee even is?

Don’t let the line out the door scare you away! Their service is quick and the coffee is great! You can taste the flavor notes in the pour over coffee and the vanilla latte was awesome.
