Copper Moon Bar & Grill in McAllen

Best coffee shop in town when it comes to variety. Have it made any way you like. It's always made to perfection and super affordable when you compare it to the "other guys". You'll want to try everything on the menu at least once.

Their iced coffee is strong and super smooth - the best and cheapest in the city. I'm also in love with their Lavender Lemonade. Definitely a hidden gem.

Handcrafted drinks to your specifications - made especially for you with you in mind. He takes his time to make sure you get what you're craving - including the sweetness level and caffeine or "crack" need. This is not a snooty coffee shop atmosphere - this is a little gem with a friendly face that loves (and is good at) what he does.

Always so friendly and never get the same thing twice james is so creative and the ice cream is TO DIE FOR!!!

Best tasting coffee in town. It's a blast watching people's facial expressions when giving them directions and I arrive at "then walk into the apartment building."

This is quite possibly the best coffee experience I've ever had. After showing up for only about a week, James knows who I am and speaks to me like an old friend. The coffee is incredible, too - just as good, if not better, than Pour Cleveland just down the road. If you can track down his counter, it's WELL WORTH the stop. And if you have the time to wait for it, get a cafe au lait. :)

To answer the first question, yes, the coffe is great. But that's not why you go to Copper Moon. You go to Copper Moon because James has personality. From your time waiting in line, until you start drinking what greatness you are about to drink, you are engaged in great conversation. My only regret when walking in, is that I have to go back to work, and can't just hang out.

Had a good experience. Was a little nervous about ordering because of how simple a menu they had and how picky of a coffee drinker I tend to be, but I loved what I ordered and it was lovely drinking it while wandering around the shops of the area.

Been a year since I posted my review, so here's an update. I visit this place weekly and I rarely order the same thing twice. I have yet to be disappointed by my drink. Attached an image of my Mocha I got today; it has a German chocolate swirl and a caramel swirl along with some house made whip cream (which should be considered the ambrosia of whip creams, so freaking GOOD!). Flavor profile was sweet, smooth, and extremely satisfying. If you can resist the primal urge to devour the whip cream topping like the savage rat-race-warrior that you are, within a few minutes it will melt adding another level of taste bud ecstasy to your morning beverage. The shop front was recently moved to a different area of the building they reside in, so if you haven't been there for a while you should go back and check, chat, and get a drink.

The coffee is fantastic, the service is even better. Its a tiny shop but perfect for grabbin jo to go! Very affordable as well!Great coffee, great smoothies, and a ton of heart put in to their beverages. What more could you want?

Great small coffee shop. Well worth going to .

James is the best !

My wife and I are quite picky about coffee. We usually drink chains such as, Dunkin, Speedway, Starbucks. This place has great coffee and the guy that works there is really nice as well.

Just amazing coffee at an amazing price. James clearly loves what he does and is not only knowledgeable but just wonderful to talk to. As a person who claims to be a coffee snob Copper Moon stands out from the pack. Do yourself a favor and wander in. You'll never go anywhere else.

Hands down the best coffee in the greater Cleveland area. James is the best.

I come from Alaska where coffee is a big deal and since I've relocated to Ohio I have not found a good place to have coffee. I was looking around and saw this place online and thought I'd give it a try since I work in the area. I don't say this often but the Copper Moon gave me a cup of coffee that was almost as good as what I get back home. The prices are amazing and the staff is super friendly. I ordered my normal 6 shot iced Mocha and aside from a little astonishment at the fact I was drinking 6 shots of espresso, the staff made it for me without complaint. They even gave it to me in 2 glasses so as to keep the ratios right. I will be coming back to this shop every time I have an excuse to be in Cleveland.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! staff is very nice and helpful, prices are amazing and coffee is delicious! definitely recommend

Nice folks. Good luck in North Carolina...

What a wonderful find! My only wish was that I found this place sooner! The coffee shop is just as cute as can be but keep note this isn’t where all of the college kids hang out, I mean they can but there’s two chairs in the whole place. James was the amazing barista that took care of me. I didn’t know what I wanted and he started asking questions and with a flip of a coin (literally) he came up with the most delicious cup of coffee! I had the White Girl Latte and it was delicious and not bitter! I loved that he gave me a college discount (paid for my parking ticket I got for being a minute late—another story). The prices was not Starbucks prices at all, I got my medium coffee for $3.25. Seriously, how great is that?! I’m very happy with this coffee and I’ll be back for sure! I’ve told everyone I’ve met about how amazing the coffee is! Don’t believe me, well now it’s your turn to try it!

Favorite place to go for coffee in downtown Cleveland! Great coffee and reasonable prices!

The coffee here is simply amazing. I was unsure of what I wanted to order and the owner asked me a line of questions to craft a perfect beverage. It was the perfect blend of taste, smoothness, and caffeine.

The barista was helpful and patient and offered suggestions when I wasn't sure what I wanted. Coffee tasted fresh and strong despite the later hour I arrived.

Great coffee and service!

James is the man! He is personable and loves what he does for a living. Great coffee too! Worth the wait!

The best coffee in northeast Ohio!

James (the owner) is awesome! Sometimes you have to wait for a while but it's worth it. This guy is passionate about coffee and you can tell. In the summer grab some tasty lemonade with a little crack, or some ice cream.

Hard to find for a tourist, but worth it. Super friendly people and the coffee and home made granola were great . Pricey

I was driving from Nebraska to New Hampshire. The Copper Moon made my stop in Cleveland totally worth it! Great coffee made by a great barista, and in a surprisingly low price. I had probably one of my best pour overs there.

James is a true artisan. He can make any drink happen. From coffee, tea and even milkshakes they can do it all here. My favorite drink is the banas foster. It can take a hot minute since each drink is handcrafted by one to two people. If you're worried about time look at the app Ritual and it can order before you arrive.They have a really unique atmosphere, just enough seats for two people. The drinks are amazing. Go there!

Fantastic coffee. Excellent prices. I'd give it 10 out of 5 stars if i could.

Great, hand crafted coffee drinks, and super friendly service. The owner knows regulars by name, and creates their own special menu items for them. Love the counter top made out of pennies, too!

I couldn't ask for a better place to start my morning. The coffee is phenomenal and the service is even better. James, his team and the coffee are worth coming back every day to!

Amazing coffee and espresso done right

Freezing today. Needed coffee. Found this on yelp. So good! The Vanilla bean macchiato, to die for! Peach green tea really good too. Prices reasonable! Coffee shop is inside the building, when I didn't see it from the street, I thought it had closed down. The person behind the counter super nice and really fast. Will be back tomorrow!

Small coffee shop serving delicious coffee ☕️

Great coffee/espresso and owner. Very helpful, can make anything however you want or help decide on an option. L

James is the best. Hands down. No questions. If you want a great coffee done perfectly Copper Moon is the only place downtown to go. Also, James and those he hires are amazing people who genuinely care about every customer.

Excellent small coffee shop. The barista, James, was very friendly. Wasn't sure what I wanted, so he asked me a few questions, and then brewed me a coffee! It was excellent (a Cuban americano I believe). Very easy to talk to; told me a little about the city since I'm from out of state. Highly recommend!

I love the coffee, lattes, and hot chocolate.

Literally the best coffee & coffee related drinks I have ever had in my life.

Wow. If you like coffee and don’t need to sit down then this is the place for you. It’s tiny and I mean tiny. Don’t come thinking you’ll get the ‘coffee shop experience’ with comfy chairs etc. do come if you like coffee made by guys that known what they are doing. It’s not expensive either. No food available.

Genuinely enjoy this coffee shop. The owner makes great lattes, and is very good with suggestions. The shop is a little out of the way, but very worth the stop.

Really great coffee and an amazing owner. James is a really good guy that loves his craft , is passionate about coffee, and makes friends with everyone he meets. This is my favorite coffee shop in Cleveland and I can not recommend it enough.

James is the best high fiver around!

The barista there was very friendly and as soon as we walked in the atmosphere was very inviting. Great coffee and a must see if you’re in cleveland!

Really good drinks that are very well priced. Great spot to wet the whistle that really seems to be "going places." You can buy your friends a drink without going broke!

This place is like none other and second to none! If you haven't been you should! It's like Heaven in a cup!

Best Espresso bar on the planet.

My absolute favorite coffee in Cle!! They definitely know what they're doing, never skimp on quality, and their prices are extremely reasonable! I typically get a medium americano and it is the only place where it doesn't seem watery (without asking for additional espresso shots...) and the actual flavor of the espresso is incredible. Don't see what you want? Just ask for it!! They'll be able to make it for you. There are always seasonal options too! Don't skip the whipped cream... they make it themselves! Definitely worth the calories, if you're worried about that kind of thing.The milkshakes and smoothies are also delicious!! During prime time (after lunch) it can get crowded and take a while (there are usually 2 baristas) so plan for that! The wait is worth it though! I typically try to go during off times if I can. 10/10 reccomend!!
