Moon Reader Manga Café is a specialty reading lounge in the heart of Ithaca — a place where a quick read can become a three-hour adventure.

01/ our why
A better way to find your next favorite.
Following a handful of manga series can get expensive fast. Bookstores sell the volume; cafés sell the moment. Moon Reader brings the two together — with a curated library, comfortable reading spaces, and a community that gets excited when you say, “you have to read this.”
Founded by Donnie Cason II, a hospitality professional and lifelong anime and manga enthusiast, the café is designed to feel collected, not corporate. A little unexpected. Easy to return to.
