I had heard rave reviews about this place but was very disappointed. I ordered a hot Carmel cider didn't get the Carmel. Then the smoked salmon tartine bread was very hard and small portion for the price. Had a wide variety of pastries on menu but small selection at 11 am. Ordered a chocolate crossaint and barely any chocolate. Was good but not amazing. Plus ordered the special gingerbread cookie with marshmallow and chocolate chips and good but wasn't fresh. Not very large inside
Loved the food and location. They have a pretty extensive menu so theres something for everyone no matter when you go, breakfast, lunch, or... Well, idk if they're open for dinner but if they are, I'd go. We ordered coffee and a few different pastries and everything we had was delicious. We'll definitely visit again next time we're down that way. 2 thumbs up, highly recommend, would go again, etc etc.
One of my favorite cafes in town. Surprisingly every single item on menu is delicious.I’ve tried poached egg and bacon flatbread, spicy mushroom and spinach flatbread, mushroom tartine and smoked salmon tartine. Blueberry cheesecake just tastes like heaven.
The service and food were both outstanding. They have a large bakery selection, and my sister and I found ourselves impressed with the lunch menu as well. We couldn’t decide on which sandwich we wanted, so we each got one and split. My favorite was the Turkey & Swiss, but the Jambon was very good, too ! I had to get a pain au chocolat because they just looked so good! Spoiler alert: it was. I will definitely be back to try out the coffee and more bakery options!! I highly recommend ❤️
The place is located on a well-known avenue in Louisville, making it easy to find. Despite the busy area, there is plenty of street parking available along the avenue, which is very convenient. The atmosphere is beautiful and well-decorated, with seating both outside on the sidewalk and indoors. The outdoor tables have heaters nearby, making it cozy even on colder days. Although the interior space isn’t very large, it’s perfect for a good breakfast. The breakfast I had was simply fantastic! The flavor combinations and product quality are amazing. The price is a bit high but reasonable, considering the experience and taste. They also have an in-house bakery with a wide variety of breads and flavors that look delicious!
