I recently popped in before an author event at Carmicheal's, and discovered that in the evening,…read moreCrescent Hill Coffee becomes Supertonic Elixir Cafe. Elixir specializes in mushroom coffee and other healthy tonics. And I was able to chat with the owner for a bit about his business and passion behind it. It's clear he is very knowledgeable. He was eager to take me through the menu. And I ended up getting a caffeine-free chai latte, that was perfectly sweet and hit the spot. This spot has blends you can buy and take home. I also like how this business seeks to give people an alternative to bars, when you want to get out, sip on something, but be careful about it. This is definitely worth a visit to learn more.

I enjoyed a calming cup of tea, tempted to chill on their retro couch and pull tarot cards (they had a 'Dark Crystal' tarot deck out for guests to use!), but I sat by the window, surrounded by plants, and people-watched on and off as I worked a little. After an hour - yes - tarot time! An added perk is its attachment to Eggs Over Frankfort. The staff in the cafe, who was very sweet and helpful, let me know I can order food from them and still enjoy their cafe! I will definitely be back for a drink with Crescent Hill, then a meal from next door. I absolutely love the openness of working together, both uplifting each other, and therefore uplifting the community. This is what I love about living in Louisville.

I don't have the cultural knowledge to say that it was authentic but it 'felt like home' and hit all the nostalgic notes that I would like a French or German establishment to hit. Everything I have eaten here has been fantastic and the service has been as well. If I am on the hunt for a little treat that is also *special* this is my go to. I also really like their baguette and the collection of pez dispensers.

Sunergos Coffee in St. Matthews is easily one of the best coffee spots in Louisville. From the…read moremoment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully curated -- the perfect mix of cozy neighborhood café and high-quality coffee shop. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The coffee itself is outstanding. You can truly taste the quality and care in every drink, whether you're ordering a perfectly balanced latte, a bold espresso, or one of their seasonal specials. Everything is crafted with consistency and attention to detail. Even the pastries and small bites pair perfectly with the drinks. We love the cheddar chive biscuit! What really makes Sunergos stand out is the experience. It's the kind of place where you can meet a friend, get some work done, or simply enjoy a quiet moment with an incredible cup of coffee. St. Matthews is lucky to have a coffee shop this good. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-tier coffee, great people, and a relaxing atmosphere! They also have added a mini print vending machine , you will need $1.25 in quarters to purchase!!!

They have wonderful coffee flights with really unique flavors and seasonal menu items. The inside of the shop is really cute, small but enough chairs to be able to find a place to sit. We ordered the normal ube latte and dirty ube latte which was amazing! Coffee paired beautifully with the ube and it wasn't overly sweet. The normal ube latte was good, very creamy and milky. Service was quick, loved the cups they used if you are dining in

And then I got very lucky because they had an ube matcha--and ube matcha is one of my favorite things! I was actually trying to decide between that and the rose latte, but the ube matcha won this time and it was delicious. I'm pretty sure I'll be back because there were several other things on the menu that I want to try. I saw some other people order a flight of four different drinks, and I am very interested in trying that . I love finding little places like this completely by accident!

Why have I lived here all my life and had never stopped in this establishment!!!??? It was such a…read moreunique coffee house because it offered so many options not offered at other businesses. Can we talk about the chocolate covered bacon, spicy version?! Oh my goodness such a sweet treat with a powerful kick! Not only do they have refrigerated foods, snacks, etc but they also offer icecream treats and a bar for alcoholic drinks staffed with a bartender! NOW WHERE ELSE CAN YOU FIND THAT? Now of course they have coffee, a variety, but I was just so in awe of all the other offerings. It doesn't stop there. On Wed from 430 to 730 is Happy Hour and the drinks from the bar are half off. The night before I had a 14.50 Old Fashion at a local restaurant, but the option to have a $6 Old Fashion will bring me back every time! I originally came by for The Taste Before The Taste event being held here but I spent much of my time roaming around this cute gem. The Taste Before the Taste event offered bites and snacks being offered at The Taste, so it was a nice preview. It was my first time having green chili wonton from Bristols. There were a lot of firsts happening with this visit! The environment was nice, the offerings were unique but most of all the atmosphere was inviting. Caroline was the first person I encountered when I came in and she was so pleasant and welcoming during our interactions. That was the cherry on top and sealed the deal that I would be returning. The only downside of my visit was that I could only stay 30mins

I love that the lattes came with a little cookie too. My only gripe is that it's really loud and I feel like patrons aren't very mindful of a coffee shop hushed tones, people working, calm area vibe. Not the cafes fault but just makes it kind of hard to sip a coffee and chill. Overall though I loveee the coffee here.

I was there early on a Saturday morning and there was a sign indicating the dining room was closed.

Prices were reasonable - just over $11 for coffee and pastry, including a tip.

There's lots of baked options and the tomato jam is excellent. Service was quick. I appreciate the compostable straw and cups and the fact that there's recycling. There isn't compost though and I ordered to eat in but basically the only difference is no lids which is a difference but I'd like to see reusable tableware and also the plastic utensils were not even compostable. I love the outside picnic tables and games to borrow. Place has a fun and health conscious and community vibe. A great find in my short time needing food in my travels. Would definitely go back if I were to find myself back in town.

I was expecting a better texture from homemade bagels. The staff and atmosphere were pleasant, so overall a good experience.

As a parent, I probably wouldn't plan to stay long with my kids. I didn't notice any high chairs, and most of the customers seemed to be working on laptops, so it felt more geared toward adults looking for a quiet place to work than families with young children. I ordered a hot vanilla latte, half sweet. I'm glad I requested half sweet because it was still fairly sweet. My sister ordered the iced Miel and also thought it was good, though on the sweeter side. I didn't see any bakery items available, but there was signage indicating that food could be ordered. The service was fine, prices seemed typical for a local coffee shop, and the coffee was ok, though nothing particularly stood out to me. The biggest advantage of this location was how easy it was to park and access, especially with kids or a stroller.
