Excellent scones and chai. The limited hours makes the shop more crave-worthy. So good!

Both the bacon egg n cheese biscuit, and the sausage biscuit, are perhaps the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had

Fun vibe here, they seems creative on the dishes as well. While we were waiting we saw some really yummy dishes. I ordered the buttermilk biscuits with apple butter. And my friend ordered other pastries and they liked it!

Aggressively unfriendly staff who sneer at basic pleasantries such as my saying “Hello” and “Thanks”. I’m not asking for much here; neutrality would suffice. Attitude was uniform across the employees.

Poor layout with no real waiting area. You are left to awkwardly shuffle around seated guests when the place is full while waiting for your order. Avoid during peak hours.

Food was fine, with too much tapenade on the muffuletta. Coffee was quite good.

Solid, but seems a bit pricey for what it is

If you visit Louisville and don't stop here for a bite to eat, I feel sorry for your taste buds and belly. All of the reviews about the Danwich are TRUE! True people! Because it was bigger than my head (ok, maybe this is a slight exaggeration but not by much) i had to disassemble it to eat it in stages. First off were the waffle fries and I found them to be tasty, crunch and fluffy in all the right spots. Once the taters were off I cut that biggie baby in 8 'Oh My Danwich' slices. Y'all, I rarely find myself at a loss for words, even my high dollar, 10 letter ones, but I can't fill this space with all the adjectives I would want in describing this sanwich that would make you want breakfast for every meal. The sausage had that savory salty pork taste that makes you happy you're not a vegetarian with an egg slice that was fluffier than my German Shepherd's downy fur. The cheese even had a nice pull with the topper being their chive aioli. And that sandwich was just the beginning because I also ordered a Strawberry Cruffin, Bourbon Peach hand pie and a raspberry Danish to have as late night snacks. The handpie didn't do it for me. The peaches lacked flavor that I found myself asking bestie if she wanted it because I was jiat going to toss in the trash after just 2 bites. The strawberry mascarpone cream in the cruffin was silky smooth and berrylicious with the croissant being flaky and fluffy. It was almost like a sweet and savory after school snack. The kind of bakery item that keeps you coming back for more. And more. And the piece de resistance was the raspberry Danish. I've lived my 61 years learning to never turn down raspberry anything and today, my raspberry research paid off. One hundred percent tenfold. Even though the glaze drizzle was super sweet, the flaky danish offset it with that light crunch but fluffy innards. Y'all, with each bite I just fell more in love. The Danish was so good that when I came to my last bite not only was I sad that it would soon be gone but I wanted to cry. Cry y'all. Over a Danish! Yes, do it. You only live once. Order the Danwich & the Danish. You won't be sorry. You can pay me in Butchertown gift cards. Or Bourbon.
Hubby's brother lives across the Ohio so, next time he goes to visit them I'm going with him. Just so I can drive over here and try their lunch items and grab more danishes.
The folks were super friendly, the place both clean and quiet. Which, kinda surprised me because the food is so good I couldn't understand why there weren't lines around the block. That changed the longer we dined in as folks just started roaming in. I said to my friend that the Louisville folk must get started late in the day.

The sausage biscuits with pepper jelly is so delicious! The service was fast even though it was very busy. I would definitely come back to try more!

Heading back out on the road and needed a quick coffee. We were staying a few blocks away, walked down, and stumbled on this spot—looks like an old grocery store from the outside, which is pretty cool.

Inside has a great vibe. Eclectic menu, solid coffee options, and everything just felt dialed in.

We split a breakfast sandwich—bacon, egg, and garlic aioli on a homemade biscuit. Man… it was really good. That biscuit made it.

Coffee hit the spot, and the whole place just works. And hey—you know you’re in Louisville when there’s a wall of bourbon in your coffee shop. 😂

Breakfast Sandwich: Incredible 🥪🔥
Service: Awesome 👊

Friendly staff, delicious almond croissants, the music was just too much. Too loud and annoying to stay longer…

Spent two weeks in Louisville and by far, this was the best food we had had all week. After a week of dining out and being terribly underwhelmed, one of our servers actually recommended Butchertown Grocery. Thank God they did. The food is creative and fresh. Everyone has a memory when they were young of the perfect sandwich or sub that they'll never forget. Well this spot will take you back there. They have mastered sandwich-making with the perfect ingredients, portioned properly so all of the flavors shine through. Do yourself a favor, get here early and have a pastry and a coffee or biscuits and gravy if available. Walk around the area for a couple of hours, play some cornhole down the road and come back for lunch. Get the muffaletta and then wipe the tear from your eye. It's that good!
