50 Best Coffee Shops in Louisville

“To the girl that sold me (Canadian girl with teapot earrings) the London Fog and had the coyote tooth necklace. You were really cool, funny, and cute. Best coffee shop experience ever, thank you! London fogs taste like fruit loops and I’m here for it.“

“Great food! Great service! We will definitely go back here to eat!“

“The food was great!!! I’m sad all the seats were full when I showed up because there were so many menu items I wanted to try while reading my book. It gets a solid 4 out of 5 stars“

“Stopped in on my way to work, and was very impressed. Very friendly, and welcoming environment. honestly, chain Cafe establishments have nothing on this place. 10/10. I'll be back again. I also recommend the Blak Girl Magic.“

“Big store and shop to buy various Turkish desserts and candies. Parking out front. The Turkish delights, candy, and baklava are priced per pound. Baklava and Turkish delight were very tasty. Have their team cut you some Turkish delight from behind the counter.“

“Run, don’t walk to La Pana Bakery y Cafe!! Discovered this gem for the first time today. Incredible pastries!!“

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

“This place is amazing. I actually forgot to take pictures because I was too distracted talking to the owner about the amazing atmosphere and Ethiopian language and his experiences as an immigrant in the US and his very fancy coffee machine that he was very proud of ("the Telsla of coffee makers", he called it! He showed me how it works, and it is - in fact - the Tesla of coffee machines). So not only was the service and atmosphere absolutely inviting, the quality of human interaction I experienced was remarkable. I spent a full hour just talking and asking questions and getting to know the people working that day. Also - they have a printer available for anyone to use (pay like $.15/page or something) - all you have to do is email them and tell them "hey im having this printed and I'm going to come get it in half an hour" - which is such a thoughtful service to offer, especially for those of us who dont have a home printer but still need to be able to print resumes and school assignments or various forms required for daily adult life. So - if you're just looking for a great cup of coffee or a tasty treat, I would highly recommend this place. My medium coffee and baklava (a generous serving) came out to $11 - very reasonably priced. If you are looking to connect with new people and experience a sense of community and perhaps indulge in a bit of cultural exchange, in addition to enjoying a delicious coffee, I can assure you that you wont be disappointed at Abol Cafe.“

“Ntaba continues to serve excellence across their menu! Whether a meat pie (veg options available and delicious) or cafe, Ntaba is where it's at! Not to mention, if you're interested in an African Safari across one of the many and diverse countries... boom through Ntaba! We plan to visit Bornea, Madagascar, Botswana, and in the next two years! Cannot wait to support Ntaba!“

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

“Food was excellent and the service was great.Vegetarian options: Very nice selectionDietary restrictions: Was able to order just like I needed itParking: Plenty of side parking and also street parkingKid-friendliness: Very friendly atmosphere and employees perfect for all family membersWheelchair accessibility: On the side and front“

“Loved this place. Breakfast platter was so tasty, with delicious cheese, walnuts, olives, cream, honey, ect. loved the saffron tea and Iranian traditional saffron ice cream (with plenty of pistachios). Their pastry and Turkish coffee were also great too. They had high quality, generous portion. Atmosphere was so calming and relaxing. owner was so friendly, welcoming, and nice. I highly recommend this place.“

“Always so amazing here. Best pizza in town and staff is always so nice.“

“Amazing service and great coffee and food! Would absolutely recommend. Loved the 313 caramel coffee on the menu“

“While the coffee at this charming little cafe is undeniably good, it falls just shy of greatness. The pursuit of the perfect cup is, however, momentarily hampered by the slight inconvenience of parking, which can be a bit of a challenge. On a brighter note, the service here is commendable, providing a welcoming and efficient touch to your coffee experience. Be mindful that on a leisurely Sunday morning, the available seating is somewhat limited, but the overall ambiance compensates for any spatial constraints, making it a cozy spot to savor your brew. In essence, while there are minor hiccups, the combination of good coffee, attentive service, and a snug atmosphere makes it a worthwhile visit.“

“Forgot to take a picture but let me tell you one thing I missed out on... the old fashioned espresso. Not to disappoint but I lucked out with an espresso sour! The flavour was on point. Given it was labeled sour but nothing was sour about it. Give it a shot ?“

“A wonderful and quiet cafe with a delightful selection of fresh baked goods and desserts. I particularly fell in love with their tiramisu, which is made with simple and delicious original ingredients. The latte was professionally crafted and even better than what you'd find at some famous coffee shops.My only criticism is that the prices are a bit high and the cafe closes early. As a nearby graduate student, I wish they would stay open until 10 p.m.“

“I go to the Chenoweth location. Love the sourdough bread and the butterscotch scones! Bagels and cream cheese are also delicious.“

“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!“

“My daughter said the Lucky Cat Cafe was a 10,000 out of 10! We loved our visit.“

“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!“

“I had a fantastic experience with Endless Summer paddleboard company. It was a lot of fun, provided a great workout, and gave me the chance to meet some wonderful people. The owner was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this place for an enjoyable paddleboarding adventure!“

“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.“

“Excellent whole-bean coffee; best anywhere! Fantastic ethic, excellent customer service.“

“The outside of the store is beautiful, with its harmony of traditional, elegant design in the front and a beautiful abstract painting on the side. But this outward appearance is nothing compared to the genuine warmth of the people who work inside. They are awesome!“

“Excellent whole-bean coffee; best anywhere! Fantastic ethic, excellent customer service.“

“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!!“

“Seriously some of the best coffee and chai around! The pastries are TO DIE FOR, and the place is so clean and immaculate, I'm just so sad I live far away from it! No matter what drink you get, or what pastry, you will be so happy you stopped in!“

“Excellent whole-bean coffee; best anywhere! Fantastic ethic, excellent customer service.“

“Fantastic little place. Will visit everytime we come back to town!“

“Delicious coffee! I got a peach and honey iced latte and I wasn't sure how that would go together but it worked!! The lady behind the counter was super nice and let me and my friend take our time reading the menu and walked us through it. The ambiance was so witchy!! So cozy and lots of comfy seating. Definitely pop in!“

“am glad to drink. happy is good“

“Everything has been really good you can’t go wrong with anything you get“

“In Town for a visit and found this little coffee shop, the cinnamon roll is like no other, HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Crunchy cinnamon creamy filled croissant style pastry….LOVE IT.We also had the Mocha (Hot) and the Harazi(Hot) both wonderful! ?????“

“I appreciate this coffeehouse for, the history the most. You could feel the pride when you walked in and the way staff interacted with regulars, you could tell it was a long standing tradition. It’s always wonderful to see gluten free options. We purchased the apple oat scone, the chicken salad sandwich with potato salad and two advertised seasonal drinks. The potato salad was the most flavorful and the chicken salad didn’t taste as if it had seasoning. Everyone does prepare their differently. The tree arch outside was wonderful to sit under and I couldn’t easily enjoy that and tea if we visit again.“

“Super the place, we loved it and we will return many more times! Ideal to have a little sleep to the soul, I felt like I was sitting in a cafe that was in Cuba called "Los pochos" it brought me very good memories, I'm really delighted with the place! Very good service ? and the exquisite food so far the best I've been to in Louisville! ??“

“Excellent coffee (among the the very best coffee in Louisville) to go or avail yourself of the very nice seating area for a leisurely over and conversation.Parking: Numerous parking options all paid except after 6 p.m. and Sundays.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“These are some of the best cake style donuts I have ever had! My work order a few dozen today. And I got a frappe. I got the peanut butter with something drizzled on it. And an ultimate chocolate one. They were so warm and fresh tasting. I can't speak on service other than the time they told us our food would be ready and it was. We door dashed. I will definitely be visiting agaun!“

“Great coffee, friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere.“

“What an AMAZING breakfast indulgence!!!“

“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 had a Caramel apple Honeymooner donut and it was amazing!! The entire taste is PERFECT!!“

“Arrived right before closing with the staff was very nice and answered questions for me. I grabbed a chocolate chip cookie and it was delicious!Parking: Small lot what makes it hard to find a spot when they're busyWheelchair accessibility: ADA compliant“

“Day's Espresso & Coffee is THE BEST in Louisville. Forget the chain stores. This is an authentic coffee shop with OUTSTANDING beans, a friendly, knowledgeable staff, and great vibe! In the heart of the Highlands.“

“Ntaba continues to serve excellence across their menu! Whether a meat pie (veg options available and delicious) or cafe, Ntaba is where it's at! Not to mention, if you're interested in an African Safari across one of the many and diverse countries... boom through Ntaba! We plan to visit Bornea, Madagascar, Botswana, and in the next two years! Cannot wait to support Ntaba!“

“Great coffee and pastry yesterday Great curried tuna salad sandwich today“

“I came in about 15 minutes before closing and the employees couldn’t have been nicer. They gave me a bag of free tacos and 2 cinnamon rolls because they had extras from the day they didn’t want to let go to waste! My bagel and cream cheese I ordered was also extremely fresh and very delicious. Highly recommend the jalapeño cream cheese!!“

“Very nice people, but I highly recommend truck drivers back up around the corner of their building to get into the docks. Not much room to turn around. I managed barely to get turned around by sliding my tandems all the way forward and getting someone to spot me so I didn't take out any parked cars.“

“This little boba place is close to my house and close to my heart. I always get the mango green tea with regular boba, I ask for specific sugar and ice options, and they always get it right (and fast!). Their app makes it easy to order and the staff almost always has my tea ready before I walk in. I probably wouldn't sit there to drink it, there's only a tiny counter with a few stools, but that doesn't bother me at all. It's a great place to drive by when I'm out on errands and need a pick me up. Thanks, Sharetea!“

“Tried this for the first time and I’m now hooked ! 10x better then Starbucks hands down (not like me to say that but I’d give up Starbucks for scooters) & cheaper as well. Their coffee & hot chocolate is to die for. Wouldn’t want to miss out !“
