MOONDAY COFFEE

Moonday Coffee is a small espresso bar known for its espresso, masala chai made in-house from scratch in the traditional manner, and a selection of fine teas. It started in summer 2021 as a mobile espresso cart on a grassy promenade overlooking the ocean, and it now operates from a repurposed shipping container. The coffee comes from Speckled Ax, a Portland roaster that uses wood-fired roasting.

The shop sits on Washington Avenue at The Black Box, sharing the container with Thicket Jewelry and Mari: A Mini Bakery, whose handmade pastries are sold from the case. Moonday is open Thursday through Sunday, with morning and afternoon hours, and it closes for a few days in mid-October. Gift cards are available, and Mari takes pre-orders through her own website.
