What went well? Everything You are seriously doing a disservice if you don't step foot in this establishment. Food is delicious and prepared in a timely manner. Coffee is some of the best in appleton. But the ambiance takes the center stage. you wont feel cozier anywhere else. I think this is my coffee spot now! read more

Food and drinks are good, but pricey. The environment is very nice and cozy. Nice place to have coffee and catch up with a friend.

Excellent Chai on a hot day! Shade to enjoy conversation with one of my besties! Food looked and smelled amazing. Menu is variety of delicious items. And the vibe is cool. Neat mugs, earrings, cards and art! A must stop! read more

Terrible heavy grill smoke so bad you could not breathe. Food was good. Staff grungy and no customer service skills. Went home and clothes freaked of food smell. read more

Cute place with delicious food and a friendly staff. We had the breakfast sandwich, quiche and one of the best scones we've had in quite awhile. They don't have espresso drinks however their coffee is good. We'll definitely return. read more

Such a cute place! We were the only people in the cafe and the vibes were just perfect. And then we got our food and that just made it even better! I ordered an iced oatmilk chai. Not a whole lot of chai flavor, but the oatmilk they used was delicious. I also had the chicken salad sandwich. DELICIOUS. The bread was a highlight of the meal (I believe it's from Breadsmith?) Appleton really needs more places like this. Such a cozy cafe with very nice people working! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed this cafe a bit off the beaten path from downtown Appleton which makes parking free & a breeze. We checked the menu out before deciding to try it out & it totally lured us in... so many choices. Quaint decor with very friendly staff. Meal came very quickly for my cousin & I. I had the grilled cheese & cup of soup which was very good. read more

Great food, service, and atmosphere. The sweet potato hash with added bacon was absolutely fantastic - all fresh ingredients.

Relaxing space with good coffee and interesting food. Short walk from downtown. Next to Jacobs Meat Market.

I want to keep this little place to myself but it is too good. You should stop in for some refreshing iced tea with orange. Paired with the turkey sandwich it was the perfect lunch. What a little gem this place is. read more

I frequent this place often, it's lovely. The food and drinks/ coffee is so good and made so well. The people that work there are so amazing and kind all the time read more

My new favorite place in town. This is quintessential Appleton that has character in all of the right ways. The staff is kind, respectful, and lovely. I can't speak to the coffee as I ordered a dirty chai but that was outstanding. I will be getting very familiar with their outdoor porch area this summer because they also serve beer and wine. A+ establishment in my opinion! read more

I passed this place many times before my friend challenged me to pick a new place for lunch. Even after I found positive reviews, I didn't connect it with the place I often passed--and then I chose it for lunch. It was fantastic! I ordered the 1/2 Sweet Potato sandwich with Tomato soup. My friend ordered the Pear Flatbread Pizza. The flavors were unique, fresh, complementary and savory. We treasured every mouthful! We topped off our delectable lunch with homemade Italian sodas. So good! The atmosphere is funky and the staff is friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our adventure! read more

I really liked my experience at Moon Water Cafe! Small, cute, coffee shot with great options and prices. I enjoyed a chai tea latte and my friend enjoyed an iced coffee. The baked goods were delicious as well. If you are in the Appleton area and want an intimate coffee shop I recommend Moon Water Cafe! :) read more

A must see neighborhood coffee shop featuring local sourced foods and beer. They also had a wine selection that caught my eye. Soup and sandwich was delicious. Will go back again. read more

For a quaint, fresh, warm cafe this local spot is all about being custom. From the scratch made bread, scones, galette and treats to the customized mugs made from the potter next door, there's nothing of food chain in this place. Everything's delightful, calm, and inviting. Looking for a peaceful spot to unwind? Gotta check it out. read more

Adorable, inviting, delicious, friendly and cozy. What a hidden gem. You'll want to support this local business!!!

First time there last week, amazing food & wine selection at very reasonable prices. Seating is very limited, but no worries. The patrons were kind of geriatric hipsters as well as senior hippies, hipsters and other. This is not meant as a negative, just my observation. Check it out; well worth it! read more

Awesome cafe with great coffee and good selection of bakery items. Staff are friendly and there is parking located in the back of the building. If you've never been to this cafe yet it is worth the stop! read more

Really fantastic food at a great price. I had the Turkey wrap which was perfect. My father had the chicken curry soup and loved it. My 3 year old had the grilled cheese and it must have been pretty good because she destroyed it. Atmosphere was very nice. Beer selection was delightful. The Moon Cafe is the kind of local place to strive to find and give your money to. Loved it. read more

New favorite coffee shop!! Very home like, comforting but still vibrant and aesthetic. Very kind and welcoming staff!

Super amazing tiny cafe that has the best food and drinks. I will say it is VERY intimate so be prepared to be treated like you're popping in to someones personal kitchen which means you might arrive and all of the tables and chairs are filled - but it's quite like being part of a family. - Support this cafe for sure! read more

Beautiful cafe and very helpful, friendly staff. Best grilled cheese ever and they were even able to make one of the sandwiches gluten-free. I wish we weren't just passing through this town so we could stop by often. read more
