Moon River Cafe is a unique spot. The decor inside is fascinating like a museum. There are many books and also they have an array of board games, and a piano. They have several nights of live music to attend. For the coffee they offer milk alternatives and vegetarian sandwich options. I really appreciate the welcoming and calm atmosphere. The owners are really nice people and their staff are respectful. If you’re visiting downtown Melbourne, this is a unique must-see establishment.

Wow, what an incredible experience! I had breakfast with my friends and from the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed. They even opened the door a few minutes early when they saw us waiting outside, which set the tone right away. The seating area is beautiful, the art is amazing, and the atmosphere truly feels like being in Europe. The food was fresh and delicious, and the coffee had such a unique, wonderful flavor. Overall, it was a beautiful experience that made us feel right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to all my friends and family!

Only swung by for a coffee and catch up on my writing– and what a perfect spot to let creativity flow! Everywhere you look is something unique and detailed. The staff was friendly and the coffee was delightful with plenty of sugar free flavor options and alt milks. Think maximalist meets royalty. Its welcoming and mismatched yet somehow on theme and flows well. I’ll definitely be back to try their food next time!

First of all.. I walked past this place a few months ago and knew I wanted to go, but never made time for it. I could see inside and it is so pretty and just has a wonderful atmosphere.. But I finally went today, and I am disappointed I didn’t go sooner! I got the Belgian waffle with Nutella. Oh my god. It was so delicious, definitely the best waffle I’ve ever had!! I also got an iced coffee with a bunch of vanilla syrup, that was so yummy too. Besides this, the employees were so kind and I got my food fairly quick! It was pretty busy so I was impressed, especially since they were short-staffed. Also, they have a bunch of cool things to buy in there! Definitely will be coming regularly.

This could be an awesome place or it already is depending on why you go. It has a wonderful relaxing atmomosphere. It’s quiet and a great place for a pleasant sedate conversation with friends. Don’t go for the food and don’t expect a pot of tea even though they have a big list of teas. Our food (sandwiches) was very disappointing, tasteless and bland. The Madeline shaped cake didn’t taste at all like a Madeline and had chocolate in it (surprise!). I ordered a coffee and an Earl Grey tea. The type of tea seemed to confuse the servers and what I ended up with tasted like ordinary breakfast tea. The servers are very nice if somewhat befuddled. If the food improves and they expand the menu some, this could be a favorite place. Whoever decorated did a great job.

I had the Belgian waffle and iced chai latte, which were delicious and served with a smile! But this is so much more than a cafe! The decor is captivating. It features a variety of comfortable seating options. It would be perfect for a date, an interview, or doing your school or remote work. There is soft music playing, and a section of it is an art gallery. Some pieces are for sale. There is a beautiful section in the back that is available to rent for private events. They even host special events like poetry nights. Moon River is a true gem in the heart of Downtown Melbourne.

Very eclectic vibe!
A great place to catch up with a friend over a cup of tea/coffee. ☕️
I love that they have couches and plenty of seating options. We got the mascarpone toast with strawberries and it was delicious! Would love to see them using bread from local vendors though. I also wish they would play music in the background, as it feels like something is missing and I think music would tie the whole vibe together.
Definitely recommend you try this place out! Support local businesses!!

There is a reason Kate B.’s Moon River Cafe and Curiosities is ranked as Brevard County’s #1 place for coffee. First, let’s talk about the relaxed atmosphere crafted by Kate’s own artwork and hand selected furniture and decor.
It is an incredible and spacious place that makes luxury accessible to anyone. Next, the Lavaza coffee and decadent cookies made for a relaxing and tasty snack. Lastly, the service is excellent, where everyone is warmly greeted and engaged., which made me want to visit again the next time I am downtown.
Moon River is an ideal place to relax downtown, after a show, dining, or shopping. Some people even find the environment a great place for a little off site work too. This would be a great place for private events too.
