Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the cooked breakfast, with diners describing the full breakfast, eggs Florentine with spinach and sourdough, and avocado with poached eggs on sourdough as fresh, hot and full of flavour. Coffee comes close behind, with cappuccino, flat white and lattes described as well balanced and lovely, and one reviewer noting you can taste the coffee rather than just milk. Also mentioned are omelettes with generous portions of well garnished salad, a biscoff espresso milkshake, a mango smoothie, and homemade chocolates and cookies. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, and the family run feel comes up more than once. In one visit a heater was set beside a chilly customer, and in another the staff remembered a diabetic customer's almond milk request from an earlier visit. Several mention good value and a calm, relaxed room, and one dog walker found it dog friendly. No reviewer raises a complaint.

“Excellent venue for breakfast and brunch (or lunch - have only been in for breakfast and brunch so far). The decor is smart and inviting, the owners are polite and accommodating and they do a lovely cooked breakfast. There is flexibility in the menu should you wish to have something other than a full breakfast. Good value, food is nice, they also do milkshakes - particular favourite is the biscoff espresso shake! An easy recommendation to make”

“The best cooked breakfast Ive had in a long time. Everything was so well cooked. Mango smoothie is banging. Delicious! Very quick service, everything was nice and clean 10/10!”

“Moon Cafe is a lovely newly opened, family run cafe (around 3 months ago) that has quickly become a great addition to Whitchurch Road. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel very welcome. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, with a real personal touch that makes it feel inviting. We had a cappuccino and a flat white, both of which were excellent, you can actually taste the coffee rather than just milk or foam, especially in the cappuccino, which was really well balanced. For breakfast, we had the eggs Florentine with spinach and sourdough, and the second dish was eggs with avocado, feta, tomatoes, and balsamic vinegar, served with pickled cabbage and salad leaves. Both dishes were beautifully presented and very enjoyable, fresh, well cooked, and full of flavour. Overall, a really positive experience. Definitely recommend this cafe, and we will absolutely be returning.”
