“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My first time here. The atmosphere for lunch was perfect. The food delicious and the hot brown is a must. We hadn't told the restaurant we were celebrating a naturalization ceremony but the waitress figured it out. Our guest was given a piece of derby pie ( another must) and staff extended their congratulations. The staff made our lunch extra special and a wonderful memory of this important day. My family and I will definitely be back and recommend highly to all.“

“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!“

“Sooooo good!!! definitely my new favorite Boba place!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“The staff & owners are friendly and accommodating. We have never had a bad experience at Blue Dog & we have been customers since 2008. They have the best bread & pastries in Louisville. When my son had an allergic reaction they were so caring and kind to my family. I can’t say enough kind things about this place!“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service“

“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.

“Often, we we are busy, we treat our catering team to lunch. Today we chose Crave Cafe. Everyone complimented on how fresh and delicious the sandwiches and wraps tasted. Thanks for feeding our crew today!“

“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.“

“am glad to drink. happy is good“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“The zebra coffee, cheesecake, and pineapple upside down cake were phenomenal! Camille is so kind and down to earth. The environment makes you feel right at home.“

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“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“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and wonderful service“

“Amazing food with lots of options. I have enjoyed the burgers and chicken sandwiches!! The tots are delicious 🤤 and so flavorful!! I love the milkshakes with some added vanilla liqueur!! I highly recommend them even if you’re not vegan 🌱 I promise you will love it!!“

“Every city deserves a place like Glow Worm! It’s so rare to find a place that can be enjoyed equally by myself and my toddler and my big kid. I love working or meeting a friend here while enjoying bottomless coffee and one of the delicious baked goods. We’re a loyal Glow Worm family for life!“

“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.“

“I really enjoyed my experience. The staff I spoke to seemed really nice. When going somewhere new, I personally experience a lot of anxiety when trying to decide something new, and I rely heavily on the employees to help recommend items for me. The long-haired feller who helped me was super nice and inviting, which I appreciate.“
