Neon Moon Coffee
Founded by native Texan’s, we have been around the world drinking some really fantastic coffees and some not so fantastic. In 2009, the coffee bug hit us and the drive to educate, learn and gain wisdom from other roasters and purveyors of great coffee has been a drive that has led us to starting Neon Moon Coffee.
Neon Moon Coffee is in love with freshly roasted coffee. Here at Neon Moon Coffee we roast to order so the coffee being received by delivery, mail or in-store pickup, will always be roasted within a few days before you open it. We work with several Green Coffee Bean importers and insure we are providing the highest grade of bean available for our Specialty Coffees.
Los Cabos Mexican Grill & Steakhouse
Los Cabos isn’t just great Mexican food – we also have American favorites, including a large salad bar! We have plenty of space for parties or meetings, bar seating, and a large parking lot to accommodate buses. One large room can seat 150 people or split the room up for a smaller gathering! Groups can arrange buffet-style meal or order off the menu.
