50 Best Cafes near New Albany

“Went there today for my first time very great atmosphere didn’t know what I was wanting to get or what I should get so I decide to ask an employee there what they think is a good recommendation. After a few recommendations I decided to go with something and when I did, I was not disappointed. I’m sure there is multiple other things there that are very good but all in all great experience very well ran and very respectful employees will definitely be going back and recommending it to others. They sure did brighten my evening!“

“Great customer Service Always! Their mocha shake is still standing as the best coffee I’ve experienced.“

“Came in and got one of each of the empanadas. Every single one was awesome. The best was the regular chicken and the Jamaican. I would frequent much more often if I didn't live in bardstown. But genuinely 10/10. Great food, great selection, great service, great location.“

“Love the vibe! The banh-mi & boba are delish.“

“We stumbled upon Pearl Street Coffee house while visiting Louisville from out of town. The atmosphere is so cozy and the staff are so friendly and helpful! Our coffee and breakfast wraps were delicious and very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend!“

“First off parking was amazing!! Second and most importantly the coffee and service was fantastic! I ordered the Almond Joy with oat milk and I had what I needed to start my day! Seating inside was cute and pleasing to the eye. I will come back when I'm out this way!“

“So much easier on our emotions than visiting a shelter, so you can interact with the fur babies and relax until you reach a decision. Great coffee from Quill's Coffee and yummy snacks! Amazing volunteers who help to make the entire experience very relaxed and chill.“

“This was one of the best tasting breakfasts we’ve ever had and that’s saying a lot since we are in our mid-50s. My husband ordered the mushroom grits and I had the eggs and grains. Delicious! It won’t be easy to top. Also, we had one iced and one hot Kentucky coffee. They were both delicious but the hot one rated just a touch above the cold one.“

“We came on a Sunday morning for the brunch buffet. We found the buffet to be good but didn't have the variety of other buffet's we have been to. It wasn't kid friendly, some items were cold(that should have been hot) and the dessert table was lacking. We did order a Hot Brown and it was delicious. We had excellent service and did enjoy our time at J. Graham's Cafe.“

“Food was great and Jacob our server was awesome. Great place to have a Sunday breakfast!“

“Beautiful restaurant! So chic and comfy. Quick service. Everything in here is so tasty! I had something from the bakery, a Korean sandwich and black coffee, and everything was extremely delicious. We were having the time of our life and accidentally broke a cup, I was so ashamed, but someone from the staff was so kind and comprehensive. If I could, I'd be in here every day and try out all the menu.“

“The staff & owners are friendly and accommodating. We have never had a bad experience at Blue Dog & we have been customers since 2008. They have the best bread & pastries in Louisville. When my son had an allergic reaction they were so caring and kind to my family. I can’t say enough kind things about this place!“

“I get a whole pot of coffee!! Winning to start!! Avocado Toast, wow, just wow! So delicious & filling. The bread was phenomenal 🤤 Husband had the western steak & cheese omelette. I blinked and it was gone from his plate, I think he enjoyed it! Tiny human are off ours and enjoyed his parts. Definitely coming back!“

“Thank you so much for the Payne Street team, especially their owner Anne, she came in on her off day to make sure we received fresh bagels for our team breakfast. It was DELICIOUS!“

“Amazing food and drinks. Exceptional service and atmosphere!!! Our Waiter Tyler was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! Hats off to the Chef. Highly recommend checking this place out.“

“I had a break in on my residence, they stole my moped with wire cutters in my backyard. I combed the Internet and found it being listed on Facebook marketplace and this business is listed for pickups on all stolen goods, I contacted them , and I will let the labor board and immigration authorities determine if they're using under the table tactics and criminals of fugitive status“

“Had an interesting spiced coffee with cloves, cinnamon, ginger and cardamom.
The barista was very sweet and hospitable.
Would love to go back and try spiced cappuccinos and the snacks they had
Paid $3.50 for a spiced black coffee“

“Great food, tasty coffee, and amazing baristas! They also have a great selection of non coffee drinks and cute stuff from local artists.“

“This is for the bakery!! I placed my order which was so easy the stuff so was friendly. We got the cake it was done right on time and that is amazing when you have a 5year old birthday party to get to. The cake was amazing, looked amazing and taste as good!!! They did an amazing job! Great team in the baking department!!!“

“I was in the downtown area on a Saturday morning. While waiting for an office to open, I did a Yelp search for a breakfast hot spot nearby and came across Founders Cafe. I walked in with my family and was immediately impressed with the trendy ambiance. This place has a surprisingly nice menu to choose from considering it is a cafe. There are a number of breakfast sandwiches and paninis to choose from and they all seem so tasty! I decided to order a breakfast burrito and was pleased. It had fresh roasted peppers and onions, which gave it a nice kick. Next time I'm in the downtown area, I'll be sure to try their coffee options.“

“I had a great experience at Heine Brothers Coffee on Veterans Parkway. I ordered two Americanos and a warm lemon poppy seed muffin. The muffin was honestly one of the best I’ve had in a really long time—perfectly warm, moist, and full of flavor. The coffee was really good too. My husband is pretty picky about his coffee and prefers it strong and bold, and he really loved the Americano.

I also noticed the Black Lives Matter and “Everyone Is Welcome Here” stickers on the window. As a person of color who isn’t from the area, that meant a lot to me. It made me feel comfortable and welcomed, which I truly appreciated.

On top of all that, the staff was friendly, warm, and inviting. We’ll definitely be back if we’re ever in the area again.“

“Cafe in lobby across from Caesar's S. Indiana front desk. Always clean & bright, there is a selection of pre-made foods, various alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks, including espresso drinks like lattes as well as juice, soda, etc.On the weekends they have an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. It's normally well-attended and food is fresh and looks good. Quick bites to eat in or take-out, saves walking all the way to the casino for a little something. The only place in the casino to get a good specialty coffee. Be aware, they don't allow you to bring anything made here into the casino.Service is always friendly & efficient. Amanda, who works daytime shifts, has always been very helpful & friendly. I've never had a bad service experience here. Even when they couldn't get espresso in for a time due to supply chain issues, they have always been as sad as I am about it.Highly recommend a caramel latte to-go on your way out.“

“My Dr office is there at Jewish. I will go over to the cafe after an appointment sometimes. Their food is not bad for a hospital. They were in between lunch and dinner when I was in there today. So everything but the grill was closed. The employees are friendly and they keep it clean. Their prices aren't bad.“

“Delicious Bagels 🥯 Recommend 💯“

“Kiwa is so special. The sandwiches here are seriously next-level — fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care you can taste it. Every bite feels like a little flavor explosion. The vibe is calm and modern, and the staff is super friendly. If you haven’t tried Kiwa yet, go. Just go. You’ll thank yourself (and probably crave it again the next day).
Thank you for the wonderful treats, Kiwa :)“

“Stopped in this morning by chance for coffee and pastries. Got the Cubano with a chocolate croissant and an almond croissant.🔥🔥“

“Amazing place! Excellent customer service, delicious food, delightful drinks, and festive atmosphere! I love their menu, and am so grateful for their vegan options and creativity. I love the variety of drinks, the fries were well seasoned and crisp yet fluffy, and the burger was so good! The sauces were so flavorful! love love love. Already can't wait to come back next time I drive through town!“

“delightful coffee and food options“

“Where to even begin?! This is more than an amazing play space and cafe; it’s a place where caregivers can actually get a much needed breather while kids are able to be kids in a safe space. Plus it’s a hub of activity. They are always offering new classes, camps and childcare options. My kiddo took an art class here that was 10/10. They also are very community-minded. They’ve hosted a pantry on-site and offer play days at significantly reduced cost. Amazing people. Amazing atmosphere. Highly recommended GlowWorm!“

“Moved to the area a little over a year ago and always wanted to try First Watch but with their hours and our schedule never aligning we never got to go until today. We ordered the million dollar breakfast sandwich and the choose two with the turkey avocado sandwich and the chicken chopped salad. We also got the dragon fruit drink, the honey cruch iced coffee, and the salted caramel doughnuts. Drinks were very good. Food was good except my order was wrong they gave me the Cobb salad and when I told our waitress the issue and the mistake and all she said was that she could bring me some chicken for the salad. I declined because we were already done eating and I didnt see the point of the chicken when they were two completely different Salads and toppings. I don't like blue cheese which was all over my salad so I picked around it and ate what I could and my half sandwich. Other than that the experience was good. Just disappointed and not the happiest with the resolution.“

“If you are looking for top end coffee, Fante's has the best beans in town. They source directly with the farmers and hand roast everything themselves. Each bag is hand marked with the date/roast/etc.

I talked with one of their roasters, Derek, and he walked me through all the details about each blend. You could tell he was a craftsman and knew his art. Lots of different choices, and each bag brings out the best of what that particular bean or blend of beans has to offer. If you want to taste what coffee actually is supposed to taste like, get your beans here. Best in city!“

“UL Physicians Hospital very best place Panera Bread“

“We used The Copper Room at Orange Clover for a baby shower for a first time momma to be. I just cannot find the words for how wonderful the experience was. First off, the staff, absolutely phenomenal. Every single person I talked to (I’m sorry I don’t remember names, my memory is lacking currently) was so sweet and helpful. I appreciate every single one of you. Second, the food was perfect and delicious. Third, the room itself was everything I hoped it would be and more. The team working helped us make everything absolutely perfect. I cannot imagine a better place to have an event-from the staff, the food, to the location and the service. Beyond grateful for you all! Thank you so so much! ☺️“

“I am not a student but go there when I can. I would rather give them my money and support them VS places that find and push values I do not hold to.
I have had very good service and very friendly staff there.

I meet there for Bible study sometimes.“

“So yum! Great atmosphere! Very welcoming“

Hot brown 9.5/10
Burgoo soup 7.5/10 (but $8 WTF)
Kerns Derby Pie Tart 7.7/10

“💚 Wide selection of soups, salads, and sandwiches—all locations.
💚 I have experienced very friendly service on multiple visits—this location.
💚 Recently updated dining area—looks great!
⛔️ Many items appear healthy, but the saturated fat, sugar, and salt will sneak up on you—all locations.“

“I recently got put on a low sodium diet due to heart issues. This is the only place where one of the workers has went out of their way to help me find low sodium options on the menu. Cherish the drive thru casher/order taker googled their low sodium options for me. it has been really hard finding places where I can eat out at. This panara bread will now be one of my go to places. thank you so much!!!“

“How do you tell a great barista ? They make your drinks come true !“

“They made us a groundhog cake for my brother-in-law‘s funeral services. It was a beautiful groundhog. It was very good.“

“I drove thru because my daughter was sick and wanted some tomato soup. Makenna was kind and very generous! Thanks for the great service!
I got a Mediterranean veggie sandwich, which is my favorite. Unfortunately, the cucumbers were not crispy. The bread was a little soggy, too.
My daughter LOVED the tomato soup bread bowl!!! I wish they have a little more soup for the bread bowl option.
I will be coming back to this location, because it is convenient for us, but I may try dining in next time. :)“
