Welcome!

Moonwalker Café operates on the principle that each cup of coffee and every bite of food has a story to share. Beyond being a venue for a swift drink, our café is a haven for connoisseurs, food enthusiasts, and community members. We take immense pride in our meticulously sourced coffee beans, freshly baked pastries, and made-to-order sandwiches.

Our philosophy

Our scratch kitchen is rooted in quality. From Dark Matter Coffee to Vital Farms eggs, we source from local farmers, Michelin-star bakeries, and top-tier partners to ensure every item is fresh, seasonal, and crafted with care. We make our own syrups, and smoke and roast our meats in-house.

Our values

  • Community is at our core. We host pop-ups, share our kitchen, and support neighbors through food, space, and local partnerships.
  • Quality and inclusivity matter. We offer Gluten-Free and Vegan options, source from top local producers, and use ingredients we’re proud of.
  • We care about impact. We cook fresh, minimize waste, and give back—supporting schools, artists, and nonprofits that lift our city.
