Enjoyed an oat milk Carmel latte and the Works Crepe. The latte was absolutely perfect as was the crepe. If you are wondering if this coffee shop, located in the basement, is worth the stop, it certainly is. While you wait for your perfectly crafted beverage, you can walk around to check out some local artist’s work or just appreciate the architecture inside Crescent Moon.

Cinnamon rolls and specialty drinks for the days you feel like more than the coffee grinds of the day. Fun to see the local artwork on display!

The coffee is always excellent by I was surprised at how great their crepes are! They have a lot of fun options to try so I plan on coming back. I highly recommend you check them out for breakfast or lunch. You wont regret it.

My favorite coffee shop in Lincoln! The baristas are so friendly and know how to make excellent drinks. Crescent Moons atmosphere is inclusive and relaxing. If youre coming to get some work done, this place is perfect. If you want some excitement, check out the live events they have.I will always hold this place near and dear to my heart.

I adore Crescent Moon! They have such unique and creative beverages, the most wonderful staff, and the perfect cozy atmosphere. The best place in Lincoln to curl up with a book and enjoy a tasty crepe.

I LOVE this place. I havent been going out much due to the pandemic, but I wanted to try a new coffee place and Crescent Moon is absolutely adorable. They are reasonably priced, the employees are really sweet and the service is great, and the food and coffee is awesome. They also have some of the best pandemic precautions Ive seen in Lincoln, everyone was wearing a mask correctly, they have order and pick up windows instead of full dine-in (but they do have two tables set up that you can eat at if you choose) and plexiglass barriers for the employees. Plus its just a really lovely location and building. Great experience.

One of my favorite places to go in Lincoln. They have the kindest and most helpful baristas. Some of the best sandwiches you can get.

I’ve loved everything I’ve ever gotten here. Of course the coffee is great, but the crepes and paninis are amazing too. I’ve appreciated how they’ve cared for their employees and the community during covid, too!

Quiet setting to drink tea while reading.We enjoyed 2 scones, chocolate and orange cranberry, as well as British breakfast tea latte and a iced matcha latte. This was by far the best British blend breakfast tea latte, Ive had in Lincoln.

Rude baristas - I’ve been to this coffee shop many times and there are a few very rude baristas. I’ve decided to officially find somewhere else to go. There are plenty of other coffee shops with nice baristas like the Mill across the street.

Review №31

The exposed wall and the wide space made this a favorite. Its an underground coffee shop so you dont get any sun light unless you sit close to the door, but it gets cold there in the winter. Theres plenty of light inside to read. Find a cozy armchair and enjoy some quiet moments, away from the door. The donuts were kind of average but it was a good experience overall.

Review №38

Triple Chochlate mocha was great. Would have scored higher but we ordered a cinnamon roll and it took us asking two times to get it. The second time the guy just handed it to us not warmed up at all because he forgot about. He was talking/flirting with one of the other workers while the third seemed to be doing most of the work herself.Environment is quiet and very relaxed. If I worked in the Haymarket more I would return.

This is by far my favorite coffee shop in Lincoln! I stop here a few times a week, they make an amazing iced latte, not too sweet, very smooth and creamy. The decor and ambiance is great too, so unique and fitting the setting. The girls down there are great, always nice, and quick service. The crepes are awesome too, every once in a while I treat myself to those.

This coffee shop is amazing. The vibe is completely different from other coffee shops in Lincoln. Staff is very friendly and down-to-earth and clients are friendly as well.The drinks I’ve had are great, too. Staff comes up with fun seasonal ideas. Espresso is always on point. Overall my favorite spot in Lincoln.

Such a great atmosphere! It took us a minute to find it because we didnt realize it was on the lower level of the building but once we were inside we were amazed at the space! The coffee was great as well.

Review №55

I went here on a date night with my wife and loved it. The atmosphere is cozy and fun. Its in an old building so the exposed brick and beams are really cool. They also have a little stage where live music and comedy can happen. This would be a great spot to check out downtown in the Haymarket.

Very good service and atmosphere for work and socializing. We ordered banana crepe but it was a little dry and hard to cut. So we didnt much like it. I like the coffee though.

Live music, coffee, comfortable chairs. It’s all underground in a cozy room which seems made for relaxing and drinking coffee at all hours of the day.

I like it. The crepes were good and the coffee was okay. I like the atmosphere. My boyfriend and I went for labor day and it was pretty busy for only one person to be working. Finally a coworker came to help. We noticed other people were getting their food before us and we did not like that at all.

My Thursday morning place for a triple mocha ( they are outstanding) and quiet conversation with my mentee.Great, comfortable atmosphere. Friendly and efficient staff.The pastries look and smell great. Sadly, my waistline doesnt need that right now ... But one day I will cave in.This place is truly a hidden gem in Lincolns historic Haymarket.

Review №74

This is great place to spend an evening if you want to find a relaxed concert or poetry reading. There are events almost every night. Coffee tastes good but coffee plus alcohol is better and that is a unique part of crescent moon. Good atmosphere, but smaller inside than you would think. During especially popular shows they can run out of seating.

Great atmosphere and staff, and most importantly, coffee. Some of the best that Ive had in a while, I even got a free extra shot to make things better. The price is about right compared to other coffee shops around. They also sell pastries and other goods, but I have not tried them.

Review №81

Personally this is one of my favorite coffee shops in Lincoln, it has a great atmosphere and doesnt compare to the other coffee shops you can find here in the Haymarket or in Lincoln. From weekly performances to seasonal specials this cozy place always has something new to offer, not to mention the notebooks and books you can write in and read. The coffee here always taste great and even if that isnt your thing they also offer alcohol, soda, juice, and tea. If scooters just isnt giving you that kick you need in the morning stop by crescent moon for a great pick me up or if youre just in the mood to go see a free performance and have some delicious drinks while youre at it crescent moon is a must.

Great local spot that supports local talent! Local artists are always featured, plus open mic poetry Monday nights and open mic singer/songwriter thursdays, then live music Friday and Saturday nights! Excellent coffee (also local), friendly people, and the perfect study space.

Good place to enjoy a cup of coffee or chai. Theres lots of options but those are what I get. The people are always friendly and sometimes there is live music. This place is great for meeting friends or just hanging out and reading.

Review №88

This is a hidden gem, and I hesitate to talk about it, lest it become trendy and crowded! If youre looking for a quiet, calm, moodily-lit place to study or enjoy and afternoon date, try Crescent Moon. Its the anti-Mill (not knocking The Mill, I love that place, but its wayyyyyy too busy and loud). They offer all the coffee and lattes you want (coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk, suagr-free, etc.etc.etc.) and cocktails, too! An awesome place to chill.

The Chailo Ren was freakishly delicious and perfectly punny. Crescent Moon always has new creative drinks Im glad to indulge in, whereas at most coffee shops I just get a boring old drip coffee.

This coffee shop has a really nice atmosphere. It is underground and is sort of a brick bunker. The coffee is great, but the live music is even better. This little place is definitely worth the trip.

Their lattes were well put together, but their filter coffee is under-extracted and just generally disappointing.

This place has great coffee and great food. Im a fan of the darker, more intimate setting. Also the tip jars are super fun to vote for.
