lMoonshot Coffee Bar is in the first level of the new-ish TownePlace Suites hotel - but you can access the coffeeshop from outside without going into the hotel. I wish it had been around when I worked on James Robertson Pkway a few years ago!
The coffeeshop is charming - very cute inside. There's some seating, but it's not large. We got our coffees to go. My husband got a classic Americano, but I tried their "Snow Day Drink Special" - Cardamom Rose Latte! Definitely a sweet treat over the snowy weekend. They also have a small pastry fridge with some pastries and sandwiches and drinks. I grabbed a lemon poppy seed treat for later, which was sweet and tasty. According to their menu, they also have some breakfast and lunch options. The service was great.
There isn't a lot in the immediate area around the coffeeshop other than the detention center and bail bondsmen's offices, but it's a quick walk from James Robertson Pkwy/Musicians Hall of Fame/Capitol/Nashville Public Square Park. I'm not sure if they have any dedicated parking (if they do, I didn't see it), but we were to street park easily and quickly nearby (but that it was a Sunday during the bad snow of February 2021).
I'm not sure if they offer any online ordering (Toast, Doordash, etc.), but we were in and out quickly after ordering our coffees, and everyone inside was masked (except for people eating at a table that's a distance away from the ordering/coffee counter), so it felt like you could safely get a coffee during COVID.
All in all, a really charming coffee shop with some great coffee, good service, and a lot of style. Stop by if you're in the area or walking around this part of downtown/Germantown.
