Summer Moon Coffee Opens League City, Brings Oak-Roasted Beans and Moon Milk

Summer Moon Coffee is opening a Tuscan Lakes location at 1340 E. League City Parkway, Unit 100, League City, Texas 77573, with a grand opening set for Saturday, March 14, 2026, at 7:00 a.m., and a soft opening planned the day before. Franchise owner Andrea Trabanino said, “The grand opening is next Saturday March 14th … We will open at 7 a.m. and from 7 to 12 there are raffles and we’ll be sampling all of our pastries. We’ll be sampling our moon milk that everyone falls in love with.”

The chain’s pitch is literal smoke and wood: Summer Moon, founded in Austin by the Karnes and Terry families in 2002, roasts beans over an open fire using Texas post oak, a technique the company markets as producing “less bitter, richly flavored coffee.” Moon Milk, the shop’s sweet, creamy blend with “secret ingredients,” will be on pour during opening weekend and sold across the menu.

Menu and amenity details published for the League City shop include hot and cold coffee drinks such as the Summer Moon Latte, Blue Moon Latte and Winter Moon Latte, plus pastries, breakfast sandwiches and bags of beans with a choice among more than 10 subtle flavors. The store will feature a drive‑thru, online order ahead via the brand’s ordering site, free Wi‑Fi and outdoor seating. Reported hours list weekdays 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and weekends 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with the location open every day.

Trabanino, who owns Summer Moon locations in Friendswood and Nassau Bay, framed the League City opening as a neighborhood fit. “I live here I sang the national anthem at Clear Creek High School and I went to Clearbrook and I taught at Clearbrook and I went to church right around our Nassau Bay location so for me this is very much a local,” she said, adding the drive‑thru was a feature she and customers would value. Trabanino has told local outlets she plans to expand into more cities across the broader Houston area from her current stores.

Timeline reporting shifted as the project progressed: earlier updates listed a late‑February target and an internal opening date of February 28, with Trabanino noting, “We are set for the end of February, but our construction team is moving quickly and it may get moved up a week or two.” Later public notices established the March 14 grand opening and the soft opening the day prior.

Opening promotions for March 14 include raffles, pastry and Moon Milk sampling from 7:00 a.m. to noon, exclusive discounts and a chance to win a year’s supply of coffee. Local reporting lists the League City shop as the third Summer Moon in the Southeast Bay Area and cites two different totals for the chain’s footprint, with some accounts saying “more than 60 shops” and others stating the brand is “reaching 72 locations in total.” The League City location will accept order ahead via the company’s ordering system and join the brand’s Texas post‑oak roast offerings in the Houston market.
