Pick your stop
Want the easiest match? Choose Luna's Sunday Cafe for a sit-down meetup and matcha, Deadbeet Coffee if the coffee itself is the point, or Tres Cafe for a weekday daytime cup on Sunnymead. Hours change, so call or check social pages before heading out.
1. Luna's Sunday Cafe
For a mall meetup and a matcha
Luna's started as Sunday pop-ups run from the owner's home kitchen and grew into a full storefront in the Moreno Valley Mall, on the lower level across from Cinnabon. Its site leads with matcha alongside coffee, and the shop's whole pitch is community - it was built, literally, one Sunday crowd at a time. See its MoVal Living listing.
Find it at 22500 Town Circle, Suite 1099 (Moreno Valley Mall, lower level), Moreno Valley, CA 92553
Listed hours: its site shows 7 am-7 pm; call to confirm
Call (951) 867-9009
2. Deadbeet Coffee
For a craft cup on a weekend afternoon
Deadbeet is a small roastery and coffee bar founded in 2025, operating inside Chiquito Picoso Kitchen on Ironwood Ave. It roasts its own coffee, makes its syrups in-house (miso caramel, lavender, brown sugar), and skips dairy entirely - oat and soy are the milks. The catch: listed hours are weekend afternoons only, and its own channels say hours can vary, so check before you go. See its MoVal Living listing.
Find it at 23960 Ironwood Ave (inside Chiquito Picoso Kitchen), Moreno Valley, CA 92557
Listed hours: Fri 1-6 pm, Sat 12-6 pm, Sun 1-6 pm; closed Mon-Thu (third-party listing; check its site or socials first)
No phone listed - deadbeetcoffee.com
3. Tres Cafe
For a weekday daytime cup on Sunnymead
Tres Cafe is an independent spot on the Sunnymead corridor, listed as a coffee shop with matcha creations alongside the usual espresso drinks. Listings put its hours in the morning-to-afternoon window, which makes it the natural weekday pick of the three. See its MoVal Living listing.
Find it at 24578 Sunnymead Blvd, Moreno Valley, CA 92553
Listed hours: around 8 am-4 pm (listings differ; call first)
Call (951) 489-6637
How to choose
Want a place to sit and meet someone?
Luna's is the meetup spot: mall location, lower level, and a room built for lingering. It is also the matcha stop of the three.
Care most about what is in the cup?
Deadbeet roasts its own beans and builds its syrups in-house, and the menu is fully dairy-free. Plan around its weekend-afternoon hours.
Need a weekday morning or lunch-hour stop?
Tres Cafe keeps daytime hours on Sunnymead Blvd. Deadbeet is closed Monday through Thursday, so weekdays point to Tres or Luna's.
