My husband and I stopped in on a roadtrip, and we were both very impressed. The service was great- the employees were friendly and attentive- and the food was incredible. My husband got a burger and I got a sausage egg biscuit. The made-in-house biscuit was exactly what I needed in the middle of a long day on the road. I didn’t know how I’d feel about pimento cheese on a breakfast sandwich but somehow it just worked. I hope we get to come back, because there was so much on the menu that looked great that I’d love to try.

Decided to stop by here bc I remembered it was primarily a coffee shop but surprised to see it expanded to be a more obvious cafe with both small plates good to share & broader coffee selection. We got the burrata milk toast, biscuits and gravy (without the egg that it comes with), and a hot cookie butter latte to share. Everything was surprisingly really good and tasty! I liked the portion sizes for a brunch setting, as it was the perfect meal size / not too big. Perfect to share with your partner and not get tired of anything. Though it seemed packed and busy, the service was super quick and it was interesting seeing the food being made from our bar seat!

One of my favorite restaurants in Louisville, they food is always gourmet but simple, and always very delicious. The atmosphere has a welcoming diner vibe while also feeling fancy. Can’t wait to go back!

YUM!!! My party of 6 came for brunch and sat outside immediately. Our waiter was very welcoming and helpful to explain the ordering process. They make most things in-house. The food was DELICIOUS! We all got different things and we’re all impressed! Great service, great food. The tables outback are picnic table-style.

This place is so good we came back despite only being in Kentucky for less than 4 days. We had the wellness shot, sorghum lattes, ugly frittata and the grits. All of it was just so good. Also the vibe and the waitstaff were so welcoming. If I go back to Louisville I’ll be here.

The food here was awesome. Husband and I split the breakfast sandwich on a potato bun. I didn’t even have a chance to snap a photo before I ate all of it. We had a short wait upon arrival where they directed us to their waiting room - the kid working in there by himself was in the weeds. We waited almost 15 min for him to even talk to him, and there was only 7 of us in there. Cool that there was an option to have drinks and pastries while you wait, but was not efficient. We had hot toddies while we waited, for brunch we had their version of an espresso martini and a breakfast old fashioned.

Recently stopped in for brunch and was blown away by the service, the coffee and the ugly frittata that I had! Sydney and Brianna were so helpful, my latte art was gorgeous too. Definitely will be back in soon and I can’t wait to try more things in the food menu and a different drink! Also love the little book library that they have out front. We need more of these around town

Definitely a recommendation if you're in Louisville. The wait staff all had very friendly attitudes. The interior was warm and welcoming. I got the Maca Mocha and French Toast and loved them!
