Food & Drink Summer Moon Cappuccino Review *Finding the perfect balance in Frisco’s coffee scene* 3 Drinks Tested ~7.5 Rating 1 Frisco Location Section I The Coffee Experience I've really grown to appreciate Summer Moon for their cappuccinos, which I believe are among the best in Frisco. This time, I decided to branch out a bit and tried their signature Summer Moon and Half Moon drinks.   Drink Choices → Summer Moon — I found this one to be too sweet for my taste. → Half Moon — This option was much better, with a less sweet profile that I preferred.

However, when there’s a skilled barista on duty and the wait isn’t too long, the experience can be fantastic.

Food & Drink Fairgrounds Coffee Review A Tale of Two Cafes in the Dallas Area 2 Cafes Visited 2 Drinks Sampled 5/10 Cappuccino Rating Section I Coffee Crawl Overview I decided to switch things up this week and visited Fairgrounds in Knox Henderson, Dallas, while also stopping by Summer Moon in Frisco for some familiarity.   Fairgrounds Experience At Fairgrounds, I tried both an Espresso and a Cappuccino. → Cappuccino — Unfortunately, the cappuccino fell flat for me. It seemed like they might have used soy or skim milk instead of whole milk, which affected the creaminess and overall texture. → Espresso — On the bright side, the espresso was good! I’m optimistic that ordering the cappuccino with whole milk next time will yield a better result. The weather was typical for Texas—hot—but sitting in the shade with a nice breeze made it enjoyable to be outside. I’m glad I tried Fairgrounds, and I look forward to giving it another shot.
