50 Best Cafes near New Albany

“I thank God I can sleep without pain and anxiety this is definitely been a blessing“

“Looooved this place! The coffee was perfect. Atmosphere was nice and relaxed, and the service was excellent.“

“I have too many great things to fit in this post. Staff has always been amazing. I love that you can get a half sandwich and salad. There are so many places I go between a sandwich or a salad and get stuck with one or the other. This way, you can try both! The kitchen sink cookie is my weakness! So much to choose from whether you want breakfast, lunch, deserts, teas, or need to feed a group.“

“Cafe Shiraz is an absolute gem! My sister and I stopped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. First tempted by the beautiful pastries in the case, we ordered a baklava and an almond croissant. Then we turned to the menu and got the Breakfast Platter For Two. We took our seats in the cozy, bright cafe and ate our desserts first - unbelievably delicious! The baklava was flaky and delectable; the almond croissant was served warm which brought out the flavors of the buttery layers and sweet almond. Then came the breakfast platter! Life changing!!! This was essentially a charcuterie board of breakfast goodness, including fried eggs, ham, a bagel, feta cheese, butter, cream cheese, walnuts, honey, sliced veggies, strawberries, and lavash. We noshed on this wonderful concoction combining different flavors with each bite. Everything was fresh and delicious and the lavash was crispy and seasoned to perfection. In addition to the amazing food, the atmosphere is cozy and bright and the proprietor was extremely friendly. Located on the corner of Brownsboro Rd and William St, close to Mellwood, Cafe Shiraz is the perfect spot for a meal or snack before or after shopping at Mellwood Arts Center or Work the Metal, or walking around Nulu! A solid 5 stars!“

“What a great find! We happened to be walking past before our tour at Angel's Envy and noticed this place. We tried the Chicken, Gyro, Pork&Shrimp, Egg&Bacon and Egg, Ham&Cheese. All were delicious and tasty. If we lived here, we'd definitely be regulars.“

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

“Every time we come here the place is amazing! The food and coffee is delicious and the service is great. I would recommend this place to everyone and continue to keep coming!

Kid-friendliness: The environment is very kid friendly and the customers greet you when you walk in the door with warm smiles.“

“I LOVE Pearl Street Game & Coffee House! The coffee is amazing every time! The nicest staff, and so many games!!!! I highly recommend them to anyone that's looking for a good coffee in the Jeffersonville area!“

“We were staying at the Brown Hotel and decided to have breakfast at the renowned J. Graham Café. While they offered a full buffet, we opted instead to order an omelette with orange juice. I thought the omelette was quite good, and I really enjoyed the ambiance. Like the rest of the Brown Hotel, the restaurant had a charming touch of English elegance that I greatly appreciated.“

“We have adopted two kitten from Purrfect day and they both are amazing cats, the process is so fun and it is really nice to be able to bond before adopting. The absolute most important things is the kitties lives that are being saved by the Cafe!! Great job!! Riley adopted in Oct 2024, Wuji adopted June 2023!! Love them so much!“

“Best coffee shop I’ve tried!“

“Visiting Louisville for the weekend…We had 2 lattes and the biscuits and gravy and the peach French toast. We just kept saying…this is so good , this is so good. I never write reviews. This place is amazing. We are going again this morning.“

“2 hours later and the iced latte is strong as ever.“

“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.“

“After returning home from Paris, I’m missing all the yummy food! Blue Dog Bakery and Café has amazing croissants and European butter! The Veggie Quiche was delicious too!“

“Can say with confidence that me and my friends went here tonight for dinner before a concert and it is by far the best meal I’ve had in years at a restaurant. So fun if you’re traveling! 🤘🏼“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“These are some of the best tacos we have had in KY. We live in Lexington, so we make sure to stop by for some tacos whenever we go to Louisville. Their Aguas frescas(natural flavored waters) are really good too, this last time I got pineapple and my husband got mango. Both were awesome. I didn't get a picture since I remembered as I was finishing my tacos. Sorry ?

Parking: They have parking up front and then some side parking too.“

“The barista was very friendly and gave great suggestions for coffee! I cannot remember his name, but he was a great personality to have at a coffee shop! The coffee is great as long as you have a shot of espresso. Other than that I feel like it's not strong enough! Good flavor though!“

“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!“

“You guys are killing the game! I stop in every monday close to noon and you guys have yet to dissatisfy me in the slightest. The food is great timing is great on carryout orders I make. Service is outstanding. I’m proud of you guys.

Dietary restrictions: There are gluten free options on alot of foods

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome there are pictures of eggs on the walls.“

“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.“

“Love this place. I go here at least once a week and I’ve always been happy with what I got. It’s family owned and everything is made fresh.“

“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.“

“yes Indeed love it like the prices“

“My husband and I stopped in the Westport Village location this morning. The baristas were amazing and very customer service oriented. The donuts were amazing as well. We will be back if we ever find ourselves near one again!“

“My kids and I ate here on our way to and back on a road trip from Indiana to Destin, FL. We are vegan so we LOVED the options, especially the pastries. The staff were so friendly, the facilities were clean, and the food was yummy. The vegan quiche was delicious!“

“Lovely fresh pastries. Reminded me of being in Europe. Will definitely be back!!“

“UL Physicians Hospital very best place Panera Bread“

“We have loved every single visit we've made to Glow Worm! Our daughter is a huge fan and can keep herself occupied while I sit back and relax, without having to worry about running around her every single minute. It's a great place for parents to just "be" while our kids have a great time. We will keep going back for sure! Plus, we LOVE Katie, Glow Worm's owner, and can tell how much love and commitment goes into her business!“

“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.

“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.“

“The cold brew is very good and they carry Blue Dog eats, both sweet and savory. Unfortunately, espresso-tonics are not currently offered here, but that's not abig deal. (Though, espresso-tonics are arguably the best coffee drinks for hot weather, which is definitely on its way.) My experience here was quite nice and I plan on returning.

The most impressive attribute of this place is its capaciousness. They have ample street level and second story seating, including both a street level patio and a balcony patio. The second story space even has a screen and overhead projector. It would be perfect for small-to-medium sized business meetings.“

“The best dirty chai latte I’ve ever had. You can taste how fresh everything is as well. The environment is so cute and cozy, which makes it a great place to do school work and study. The service was also very hospitable. It’s now my favorite coffee shop in Louisville!“

“Got off 64 and stopped here for a latte and left with the BEST Everything Bagel dressed with cream cheese, lox, capers and onion. I ordered the ganache latte which was super creamy and made with dark chocolate. Will definitely return. Very friendly staff, nice venue.“

“I love the atmosphere and the vibes! the people are amazing! Great coffee and food! They sell for Louisville vendors! Can't say enough good things about this place 😁 the plants are beautiful and give a great feel!“

“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! ☺️“

“Best chocolate chip cookies 🍪 💗“

“Absolutely the best coffee shop in Louisville! The coffee, teas, and pastries are great and the staff is the BEST!!! Very efficient and fast! Much quicker than your average coffee shop! If you are in the St. Matthews area this is a must try!!“

“Great place to go chill... me and a couple buddies during a tournament event here to lay low and we really enjoyed ourselves. We hung out and it was a quiet but chill atmosphere. The food was great and was finished and ready to be served very quickly. Recommend this panera very highly“

“Was doing a tour at Churchill Downs yesterday and stopped in for a drink after the tour. Johnny is an awesome bartender, he was nice enough to take a picture of me and husband.
Cheers to Johnny, he des a raise and I hope his foot gets better!!“

“Went there for my first time today with my husband. He wanted wings and i wanted a burger lol...but we didnt want to go to a chain restaurant so we decided to give this place a shot. EVERYTHING WAS GREAT. Service, food, atmosphere, prices!!! We will be back again alot sooner than later!“

“Shelby was working the register and went so far above and beyond to help me. I needed a quick low sodium meal for my mom who lives in a nursing facility. They didn't feed her dinner, again, so i had to get something fast. Shelby worked magic and helped me find the best options and the most affordable price. She kept a smile and really just made the worst possible day better for me and my mom. Thank you Shelby!!!“
