“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“i follow a blogger on youtube that travels the world. he is visiting Ethiopia and through watching it learned that Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. So i googled Ethiopian coffee shops in Louisville and found Abol cafe. visited today and had some pour over coffee, it was the best coffe i've ever had, and i have tried coffee everywhere!!!! believe me when I say this place has the best Coffee around. This place more than exceeded my expectations of Ethiooian Coffee!!!! I will be visiting this place alot more.“

“The owners are absolutely amazing people. It’s like seeing a friend every time you visit. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing. I’m drooling over an idlewild (egg and cheese croissant) as i type. Switched up my standard latte for an iced Karmella today. Soooooo good. The cranberry orange muffin isn’t something I’d normally get but after getting one this morning, I’ll definitely be getting it again vs my normal banana nut. If you haven’t been here, there’s something missing in your life. This is your sign. You need to visit here.“

“Best sandwiches! Customer service is amazing! I absolutely love this place!“

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

“I was in Louisville visiting a client when I found this place on his Street. the menu is absolutely amazing. I have to say they probably have the best burger I've had yet in Louisville.“

“I have become a regular of the Bardstown Road location in Louisville. The coffee and the food is always consistently good but It is the constant, great customer service that keeps bringing me back. I wish I could send this with all of the staff names that treat me so great but unfortunately, I do not know all of their names. Jess is one that truly stands out. Even if she is not working the window, if she hears my order over the speaker she makes it a point to say, hey. It is obvious that she is sincere about making sure the customers have a great experience.“

“Excellent food and service“

“It's almost the end of 2024 and I've been having Clean Eatz this entire year. I'd say 90% of everything I've eaten this year has been CE. To say it's been a huge game changer for me is an understatement. I had a stubborn 10lb that wouldn't go away from the Covid years. That was gone in the first couple months. I was also able to set PRs in all distances-5k, 10k, 15k, half marathon and marathon. Having healthy food from Ce definitely played a huge part in that. Prior to this year I'd never ran more than 1200 miles in a year and I'm coming up on 1800 for the year! Also I haven't been sick this entire year where I'm normally sick at least one or two times. It all starts with your diet and I'm so incredibly blessed that I discovered CE.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The food here is always amazing. If you are ever in the area, try it. The Roma sandwich with a Cesar salad are the best!“

“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!“

“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.“

Paid $3.50 for a spiced black coffee“

“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 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.“

“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!!!“

“yesss service was so great!!! My pastry was so delicious I will definitely be back all spring and summer“

“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.“

“yes Indeed love it like the prices“

“Excellent service and delicious food. Visited during a busy lunch rush and faced a bit of a challenge with the initial order, but the management and staff went above and beyond to provide outstanding customer service. All the food items were well-prepared and tasted great.“

“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!“

“Great for coffee!!! Don't order Philly cheese, very small, meat tough, not hot, roll not fresh or warm. Worst Philly cheese ever. $10“

“Megan at First Watch St Mathew’s was amazing!!! We had an awesome experience!!!“

“What one of our team members said: "We love Glow Worm!! The expansive indoor area keeps my son busy for the entire play session and is always so clean. The food, drinks, and coffee offered are amazing on flavor that extend beyond a typical kids' snack. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and now I look forward to a cold or bad weather day so we can go back to play!"“

“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 love independent coffee shops like this. Always so quirky and interesting in layout and atmosphere. Was crowded without FEELING crowded. I had a tea and a coffee. Both delicious. Was here for a business chat. Will definitely come back when I’m in Louisville again this summer.“

“Great food and wonderful service“

“UL Physicians Hospital very best place Panera Bread“

“First class breakfast of corn beef hash. Requested chef to "crisp it up a bit" and it was spot on. Friends staff and great service. I'll be back again. And again.“

“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.“

“Good things try everything“

“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.“
