This coffee’s journey didn’t begin in a galaxy far, far away—it started right here in a space that was once grounded in fun. Our roastery’s building was a moonwalk party complex with brightly colored walls, glow-in-the-dark carpet, and two “party rooms” that now house our breakroom and quality-control room.

Moonwalk is the lightest blend in our lineup and is a beautiful combination of African and South American washed coffees.

A Surprisingly Flavorful Light Roast That Outshines My Daily Dunkin’ Coffee

I’ve been a longtime Dunkin’ Original Blend drinker, so I wasn’t sure what to expect from a lighter roast. After brewing Atomic Coffee Roasters’ Moonwalk, I can honestly say this has become one of my favorite light roasts.

The roast is exactly what a light roast should be—bright and light in color without tasting weak or watery. It’s incredibly flavorful from the first sip to the last. Atomic lists the tasting notes as apricot, vanilla, and pastry crust. I’ve never been great at identifying individual tasting notes in coffee, but whatever combination they’ve created works extremely well. The cup has a pleasant sweetness, smooth finish, and much more depth of flavor than I expected from such a light roast.

For anyone interested in my brewing method, here’s what produced an outstanding cup:

* Brewer: AeroPress (inverted method)
* Coffee: 30 grams
* Water: 500 grams
* Water Temperature: 202°F
* Grind: Breville Smart Grinder Pro, setting 40
* Total Brew Time: Approximately 2 minutes 45 seconds

I slowly poured the water over the grounds, attached the filter cap, flipped the AeroPress onto my server, gave it a gentle swirl, and finished with a slow, even press.

Compared to Dunkin’ Original Blend—which I’d consider a very light medium roast—Moonwalk is slightly lighter but somehow delivers even more flavor and complexity. It’s smooth, easy to drink, and never bitter.

If you’re already a fan of light roasts, I think you’ll love this coffee. And if you’re someone like me who normally drinks a medium roast but wants to explore lighter coffees without sacrificing flavor, Moonwalk is an excellent place to start.

★★★★★ Highly recommended.

Great light roast find - suuuuuper yummy!!!!

I was sent this through my Trade Coffee subscription and so happy to get it! I try lots of different coffees from all across this world and this is up there as one of my favs! I’m a light roast fan all the way and this one is suuuuuper tasty (through my chemex). Looking forward to checking more of their coffee out!

My favorite coffee

I've been ordering Moonwalk coffee for over a year now and it's become the thing I look forward to most each morning. It has such good notes and a bright flavor that I never get tired of. My favorite coffee!

Moonwalk

This is our new favorite. We like lighter roasts and do Hario pour-overs. Once we dialed it in to our personal preference ratios and water at 205° it was really good!

Very smooth. Excellent coffee

Pretty good flavor for being a light roast

Pretty good flavor for being a light roast. Maybe a little less flavorful than I’d prefer, but I’ll try a medium next. Overall shipped quickly and smells great!

Great coffee

In my fuller review I accidentally called this "Moonstruck". Right or wrong name, it's still a very enjoyable coffee.

Excellent flavor and so fresh!

Tried something new very happy with this roast

Tried something new very happy with this roast.

Coffee Novice trying out freshly roasted beans for the very first time

Just started on my home barista journey. The vanilla apricot beans came out really well rounded. Glad to see the roast date on the package. Considering subscribing for timed deliveries and shaving off the extra 5 bucks from the price!

Sweet, Smooth, and Delicious

A delicious way to start your day. Sweet and smooth with a pleasant, balanced acidity. Looking forward to the summer so I can enjoy it over ice!

Love this roast so much,that its our daily brew!

Smooooooth

Such a great light roast!!

A full flavored lighter roast. It has been our every day coffee for a few months!

Love this coffe company!
This roast is so good i switched it to my regular subscription roast!!

Great Flavors and Consistent Quality!

This is a wonderful coffee. I drink an americano as part of my morning regimen and I’m very finicky about the flavors I appreciate so early. I like something light roast, with patisserie undertones, and a nice acidity. This checks all of those boxes and the consistency and quality of the different batches is top notch. The flavors are very reliable which is what I’m after for a daily drinker.

Highly recommend Cabot Street!

Nice Daily

In looking for a year-round available daily drinker, I landed on this after trying ~10 other roasts, including 2 others from Atomic. Roast level was a big part of that - this drinks, to me, like a nice medium-light roast. As a note on brewing as V60 pourover, I’m brewing this on quite a fine grind setting that’d normally only be used for something very light. Draws down quickly still and I don’t get any astringency or unwanted bitterness. 42.5 on DF64 II (chirp at -1, DLC burrs), 30g coffee, 500g water. ~90g bloom 45sec, WWDT, remaining water in two high-agitation pours, full drawdown between pours, swirl after each pour, 3:30ish total time.

Great customer service! Excellent coffee

Delicious coffee at a reasonable price. Can't go wrong with this blend from Atomic Coffee Roasters.

Great value!

Best tasting coffee I...

Best tasting coffee I have had in a long time.😋

Flavor

Definitely a really good light roast that gets across a nice flavor without being overwhelmingly strong.

A Great Coffee Experience!

It was very tasting! I got all of the flavors that were listed on the tasting notes. I was so excited to try it I did a Youtube Review on it!

Love it!

We have been loving Cabot Street. To the point we are buying it 2 lbs at a time! Delicious easy-drinking coffee. We also love that it shows up to our door roasted within the last day or two. Can’t beat that.
