The Hot Brown was worth the visit alone, but our other selections were also really great. Stop by if you get a chance! You wont be disappointed.“

“The location is very cool and feels cozy. The atmosphere is chill and the staff were extremely friendly!
This breakfast is some of the freshest breakfast I’ve had and enjoyed everything! First off I ordered the Honey Bee Latte and it was really good. It had a nice flavor and I really enjoyed the honey and cinnamon notes in the coffee. I also ordered the Eggs & Grains. I really enjoyed the dish, it felt mediterranean style, and it was really tasty/refreshing. I ordered a biscuit with strawberry jam on the side and it was absolutely delicious. The butter was definitely made fresh, the jam was delicious, and the biscuit was extremely fresh and tasted amazing. The other dishes pictured were ordered in my group and every one of them was amazing as well! I would highly recommend checking this out if you want a fresh breakfast with great coffee!“

I just moved to the area, and have been to a few shops, trying to find where I can make my regular place, and everywhere I looked didn't have even one thing that I was looking for.. until I found Smoke Buddy and they had it all!! They just became my one stop shop!!
Update: 07/06/26: they are still my one stop shop!!“

“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!“

“Lovely coffee shop! I ordered a seasonal drink which was delightful. The rosemary scone was warmed up by the barista and was delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming and homey, very relaxed. I love the outdoor patio and landscaping, I would love to sit outside next time I come back on a sunny day. Baristas were also very friendly and helpful. I will certainly return and am excited to try other menu items!“

“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!“

“Absolutely top notch service and excellent food! Crystal was wonderful and I saw so many other positive staff interactions with patrons and with other staff. I was in town for something less than fun and having First Watch there made things that much better.“

“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“

“My Cafe is one of my favorite places to grab lunch and/or breakfast during the week! Everything I have ever ordered has been delicious and ready within just a few minutes. I definitely plan to be back for more! The tuna, roast beef, turkey chili, and black bean burger are just a few of my faves!“

“yes Indeed love it like the prices“

“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.“

“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“

“Student or not, this small university adjunct is perfect for your favorite coffee and pastry. After experiencing incredible service and manners from very kind baristas, I had the best lemon poppy seed muffin of my life with my delicious, creamy latte. There is plenty of seating available with comfortable booths and chaises as well as tables and chairs, with outlet chargers accessible from just about every spot and free open wifi available. Soft jazz plays in the background of a productive and calm atmosphere. Prices are also reasonable, especially in today's economy. Just outdoors, the campus lawn with beautiful brick buildings creates a pleasant scenery - outdoor seating is also available. Highly recommend!“

“UL Physicians Hospital very best place Panera Bread“

“I love Panera, but have concerns about the Shepherdsville location and Covid-19 restrictions. The cashier handles your money and your cups. That's gross. And I thought the new rules restricted self serve drink dispensers??? Coffee still in pots for self service, along with the milk in self serve canisters. I wanted 1/2 & 1/2...it was handed to me from someone in the kitchen without gloves and long fingernails🤢. As I said, I love Panera Bread, but might see if Starbucks down the street does better with the new restrictions.“

“Stopped by Panera Sunday morning and it wasn’t too busy, which was nice. There was a little strange smell near the entrance, but once inside, everything felt clean and welcoming. The staff was friendly and the service was good.
Panera is always one of my favorite go-to places. Another good visit!“

“Súper relajado 😎 ambiente tranquilo y limpio“

“This isn’t my neighborhood, but I have managed to hit this location a few times recently. Each time, the dining area has been clean (with updated design) and the food has been picture perfect.“

“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!!!“
