“Very helpful and knowledgeable. Next time I may try some food. And look around I usually know what I’m looking for when I walk into a place but I was impressed. Especially the front of the store is a Happy Face. Kind of reminds me of the movie Howling.“
“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.“
“I used to live on the east coast and ate bagels all the time. Since leaving the east coast and living all over the midwest, it's been a struggle to find good bagels- UNTIL Maya Bagel Express came along. This place knows how to make a great bagel and the service is always stellar. If you want a taste of real, delicious, perfectly made bagels, go to Maya's. You will not regret it!“
“This place was so unassuming but delivered big in Culinary Excitement. It was unique and delicious. Really enjoyed the intimacy of the place and the care and effort into each item they brought the the table was evident. Highly recommend it and can't wait to dine there again.“
“On one hand, how have I not reviewed La Pana yet? It's such a delicious find! But on the other, yay to having the opportunity to sing my praises of La Pana! Love that I get this opportunity to write down how much I love this small walk-up window at Logan Street Market. So first of all, if you happen to be at LSM in the morning and you notice that La Pana is open and has baked goods for sale, JUMP ON IT! I've visited a few times to find them sold out. I love the lechecilla donut, which is coated in cinnamon sugar with a Oaxacan vanilla custard in it. It's a small donut, but just the size it needs to be to be a fun morning treat. Also good is the rol de canella con lechecilla, which reminds me of the lechecilla donut but made with flaky puff pastry instead. The strudel and croissant were also delicious. La Pana also has coffee, and if you find that a favorite pastry is sold out, I highly suggest you venture inside LSM and see what Safai Coffee has stocked, since they carry their pastries as well. Plus, you should take this opportunity to also visit sister restaurant Foko, which recently moved out of LSM into its own building at the corner of Kentucky and Logan streets.“

“Gralehaus rivals any eatery you might encounter in New York or Chicago. I wandered in on a partly cloudy Monday afternoon in March. First was the Maca Mocha. It had a nice cocoa flavor without being bitter or overly sweet. About fifteen minutes later the Ugly Frittata arrived at my table. The crème fraîche added a sumptuousness to the fluffy eggs so that the edges didn't feel overly dry, while the veggies on top provided an occasional crunch and a tanginess that really expanded the flavor of the dish. The picture I took doesn't adequately depict the outsized egg entree. It rests inside a shallow bowl, about ten inches across, making it one of the more filling options on the menu. Thankfully, the frittata holds its heat for a long time, allowing you to slow down and savor. It's the perfect meat-free option for one very hungry person or for two lightly fed people looking to share. At ten minutes to closing time and in defiance of my satiety, I approached the cashier and requested a slice of their Best Damn Coffee Cake. And since every coffee cake deserves a good coffee, I added a nitro cold brew to my order. The cold brew came to the table almost instantly, followed a few minutes later by the cake. I started to snap a picture, unconcerned with the sensory experience at hand, when a waft of warm cinnamon hit my nose, a reminder to pause and relish the moment. The cake is creamy and spongy at the same time, thanks to a gooey layer of brown sugar and cinnamon resting directly beneath the crunchy topping. It pairs well with the delicate effervescence of the nitro cold brew. All told my dining experience lasted an hour and fifteen minutes (the staff graciously allowed me to stay past closing time to finish my repast). My advice: save your visit to gralehaus for when you have to time to slow down and savor the experience. The warm atmosphere and made-to-order dishes beg an extra few, crucial moments of your day.“
“My first visit here was a dramatic letdown because the fantastic service, incredible selections, and delicious food was so satisfying I immediately wanted more and 45 minutes later when I went back for more, they had already closed shop for the day.The letdown quickly wore off, however, as when I returned the following day to give them a piece of my mind, I ended up with a Tuesday discount. So, if you're looking for an affordable, tasty lunch option where the only letdown will be they're not open later, this is it.“
“absolutely amazing coffee ! i tried this cute spot for the first time and absolutely adored it. the coffee and flavors that they use are so amazing and on point. i loved the atmosphere of the shop as well, as they had a good amount of seating even though the space is smaller! the workers all were so kind on the day that i went, and made sure to answer all the questions i had since it was my first time there. 10/10 experience support local :)“
“I decided to try this coffee place which is in Hotel Marty. It's a small space with chairs and tables. Since it was December, they had some holiday themed drinks and I tried the white Christmas which is a white chocolate mocha and cinnamon flavor. They were doing some construction work at the time but it's a nice little place to catch up with friends and relax!“
“Love this place! Excellent coffee at great prices, and an inviting atmosphere. Several little nooks to tuck away in as well as a bigger space to sprawl out for games with multiple participants. Servers are polite and down to business. Do yourself a favor and skip the Mutant Mermaid and support local! This is what coffee should taste like.“
“I have been here twice and love it. One day I hope to be in a position to adopt one of the lovely felines I got to play with.Their drinks are fantastic and so are their bakery items! They have a variety and of course everything has a feline name!The staff is wonderful and very accomodating, they will work with you as a walk in a lot of the time! (Except when they have pre scheduled events like the cookie night that I attended!)I hope to return soon!The cookie decorating event I attended-you go upstairs in the loft and decorate your cookies, then get to go down and cuddle kitties!“
“We have worked with Glow Worm the past two years to offer families the opportunity to take photos with Santa. Both Katie, her staff and EC Carver Photography are always a pleasure to work with. We enjoy the business model they bring to the community. The #1 thing that I love about working with Katie (business owner) and Elizabeth (photographer) is they allow me to be Santa, however long that takes. If a little child during a Santa session needs extra time, guidance, or patient, everyone allows me to be Santa and work my magic. Every visit that I have is the most important one of the day. And they make that happen.“
“Our volleyball team met up at First Watch for a team brunch. The food and service was excellent! Thank you for hosting our team. We wished they had more staff that could have enhanced our dining experience a bit more and had the option to eat on the patio.“
“Wow, what an amazing Easter experience! I just have to give a huge shoutout to Chef Garry for delivering an unforgettable meal that reminded me of days past. And let's not forget about the incredible staff who went above and beyond to make our time there truly special. A special mention goes to Winnie, who took such great care of us and added that extra special touch to our experience. It was an absolute pleasure to have such a fantastic meal and service - We can't wait to do it all again!“
“I have been a customer here for many years, off and on. The coffee was excellent as usual. I always like the music ?? Today, I enjoyed the cookie. I don't know what it is called. It was a white cookie with green stuff on top which looked like a clover ?Ten Roses out of Ten??????????Vegetarian options: This place is mostly about coffee and cookies.Parking: This place located in prime location in downtown Louisville so plenty of parking options.Kid-friendliness: Today, the kid was so excited about the cookie his father purchased for him. I was standing in line behind them so when the time came for me to order, I ordered the same cookie!Wheelchair accessibility: This place is wheelchair accessible.“
“i have a trouble focusing and being frustrated while i do my school work, it’s been a problem for me for a while. when my friend told me about this shop, i’ve gone there to do my class work and it’s helped me SO much with focusing and feeling safe. everyone is so welcoming, kind, and everything i have had there has been so tasty. all the bad reviews are wrong. give it a chance!! keep on being awesome y’all!!“
“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! ☺️“
“A delightful, cozy bakery and cafe! I only had time to grab a couple of sweet treats to go (obviously a kouign amann couldn't be missed!), but this would be a lovely place to linger over breakfast with a loved one. Next time I'm in Louisville!“
“This coffee spot is right out in the open and still almost hidden away. I absolutely love the service! My cold and/or hot coffees are always exactly as I specify and regardless of the day, weather and business, I am consistently greeted, promptly, with a genuine smile, order double checked before the charge and gifted with light chitchat. I almost always get a frozen caramel macchiato with extra espresso shots. The recommendations are always on point as well and if I don't hand it to the customer representative, I am asked for my frequent customer stamp card. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“The best coffee shop in town! They have hot food, baked goods, coffee, tea, and wine/spirits. It’s a great cozy atmosphere, like you’re in someone’s home. The grilled cheese wasn’t on the menu but they feature it as a special sometimes. So I asked if they could make it and they did! Yum!! So cheesy!! I love the iced tea blend they use, and it’s the only place that doesn’t scald the almond milk when I get my lattes. The staff is super friendly as well! You can tell the owners are hands on and care about customer service as they were checking on orders and people waiting. I’ve been going here for years and I thought it was way past time for me to write a review. Great job Fante’s!! Keep it up!Wheelchair accessibility: They have a wheelchair lift.“
“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.“

“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!“
“I drive past this place everyday, decided to try it out today. I ordered Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes and green beans. My son ordered chicken tenders and fries. Everything was delicious, right down to the sweet tea!!! If I could go back for seconds I sure would!!! I'll definitely become a regular customer!!! Call ahead and pick up your order in 10 minutes, great for lunch breaks!!!“

“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!“
“You have to try this hidden gem. The food is great, with a well matched selection of soups, salads, and sandwiches to fill the bill. They just moved to this location. The surroundings are clean and comfortable, the perfect place for a cup of coffee, a quick lunch with your spouse, or work associates. Sarah was helpful in helping us with the menu selections, keeping the table cleared and seeing if we needed anything. They cater, so if you can't stop in, order ahead and pick it up. You can't go wrong. If you find this helpful give me a thumbs up. Enjoy!“
“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.“
“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!!“
“The downtown location has a small town charm. The building is rustic but yet contemporary. The staff are quiet, no one speaks much. Coffee is good and the hot coffee is very hot:). They offer delicious cold brews and what i like to call dessert blends, which are to die for. They offer a punch card for frequent guests, which gives a free beverage after so many punches. They offer a minor selection of baked goods, this location doesn't have as many baked items as the other CC locations. Bathrooms are clean. Dining area is comfortable enough, they offer couches and chairs, as well as table seating. Parking is a little small in front, but you can park in the back of the building and walk up the side ramp. My main issue is the hours for this CC location are very poor compared to the other CC locations.“
