Moonsong Bar & Cafe
710 E Jefferson St, Louisville, KY
Crema's Take
“Moonsong Bar & Cafe is a hotel cafe housed inside the Tempo by Hilton where espresso, drip coffee, and cold brew are executed with genuine care by consistently warm staff. The shop draws loyal regulars who appreciate solid, straightforward coffee and the genuine kindness of the team, though the experience can be uneven depending on timing and who's behind the counter. It's the kind of place where the barista remembers you and the coffee is honest—perfect for a quick, quality grab if you catch them on a good day.”

We were guests at the Tempo and came down to order food a half hour before the kitchen closed.... they have signs everywhere saying they were open till 10. The guy was super kind took our order everything Went well. Then the lady bar tender proceeded to shame us for taking her way from the guests to cook because their cook had left. If it had been an issue we would have walked somewhere else quitely and not been upset. But to order then wait 25 plus minutes for our food and hear her complaining in a super loud volume to all of the lobby. It was embarrassing and we didn't even want to sit and eat after she had shamed us to all the guest around us. Just because she couldn't socialize with them. The other guy was able to bartend just fine. No one waited for a drink. Worst dining experience I've had.
Stopped by for a cup of coffee. Very friendly barista and good quality coffee.
I love this coffee shop, and I come here almost daily. The staff and mangers are so sweet. They have a mid-range of products. I would love for them to expand in flavors. I hope one day they begin to offer Wi-Fi. They have delicious food and will go above and beyond to fix any wrong orders (which has only happened once out of the gazillions of times I have ordered). It is in a hotel so there will be people coming in and out, but that is no different than any other cafe. The decor is beautiful, and it has comfy chairs. I would say check it out! My favorite is the oat milk Matcha with vanilla and honey.
A terrible experience that I do not recommend. Main ingredients missing, overpriced for the quality and portion size. An all together bad experience. Management did nothing when alerted. I ordered the avocado blt but it was missing the avocado and arugula. I had to request it and staff huffed and puffed - its on the menu as an ingredient. There was no sauce and the bread was terrible. Egg not cooked as requested. My friend ordered the farro dish which has a thin layer of farro that maybe filled three small spoon full, egg not cooked as requested, absolutely zero seasoning. Bland and gross and watery. Coffee was terrible. Portion size was Itty bitty for $16+. I am not expecting American sized portions, but a farro dish that did have two puny spinach leaves and three spoon fulls of farro would have been nice... The worst meal of both of our lives.
Moonsong Bar + Cafe is the bar/cafe inside the Tempo by Hilton hotel. The coffee is great. They have espresso, drip coffee, and cold brew. All the employees we encountered during our stay were super friendly. The bar has espresso martinis, which were amazing. The area is open 24 hours a day with grab and go items, but the bar and kitchen have more specific operating hours.
