Laymoon Cafe open in Downtown Tempe

Category NEW IN TOWN

Downtown Tempe has a new café and it is the kind of place where the space tells a story.

Laymoon Cafe is a locally owned, Palestinian Syrian-owned, Middle Eastern-inspired café created by siblings Noor and Akram. Their vision blends heritage, hospitality, and community into a warm gathering spot designed for lingering. Meet a friend, settle in, and stay awhile.

A space designed for connection

From the moment you walk in, Laymoon feels curated and intentional. Layered textiles, thoughtful details, cozy seating, and an inviting energy come together to create a setting that feels transportive without trying too hard. It is welcoming in the way great neighborhood cafés are, the kind you want to return to again and again.

Coffee, tea, and baked goods worth coming back for

The menu features a mix of hot and iced coffee and espresso drinks, tea selections, and fresh baked goods that pair perfectly with a slow morning or an evening meet-up.

Here are a few items we tried and would happily order again:

  • Pistachio baklava
  • Pistachio chocolate croissant
  • Olive oil lemon bread
  • Caramelized fig and vanilla matcha
  • Upside-down strawberry matcha
  • Cortado
