    More Nutella!
    Kelly Y.

    I am always excited to visit a different ethnic store. The Alwatan Bakery is next door to the Alwatan restaurant. The store is well organized and larger than it seems from the outside. There are countless rows of canned goods, biscuits, sauces, spices, etc. They also have a freezer section full of pre-made kibbehs, falafels and other breads. They also offer some fresh halal meats. And then there are the baklavas and other sweets. My experience here today is 3 stars instead of 4 stars because I'm just not sure whether the owner cared about my presence in the store.

    This was receipt. No pictures of baklava since eaten in SUV; so delicious and fresh

    This Bakery is located in Hikes Point area near elementary School I attended in 1970s. I moved away in 1989 and returned 2 years ago. The neighborhood has transitioned to more international families. Alwatan, Restaurant displays a Lebanese Flag(let's skip politics and concentrate on food); Diversity of food & culture is what makes this place great. My wife wanted to get some spices for rice and we stopped here while she went in. I reminded her to get pastry. She was in there seemed for ever but when she brought two plates of pastry for the kids and Me. She also purchased many items not easily found elsewhere if one cooks at home. The pastries were delicious( my wife hid leftover)

    I admit I didn't try the sweets--the baklava had the look of potentially being 5* level.

    If you visit Louisville and don't stop here for a bite to eat, I feel sorry for your taste buds and…read morebelly. All of the reviews about the Danwich are TRUE! True people! Because it was bigger than my head (ok, maybe this is a slight exaggeration but not by much) i had to disassemble it to eat it in stages. First off were the waffle fries and I found them to be tasty, crunch and fluffy in all the right spots. Once the taters were off I cut that biggie baby in 8 'Oh My Danwich' slices. Y'all, I rarely find myself at a loss for words, even my high dollar, 10 letter ones, but I can't fill this space with all the adjectives I would want in describing this sanwich that would make you want breakfast for every meal. The sausage had that savory salty pork taste that makes you happy you're not a vegetarian with an egg slice that was fluffier than my German Shepherd's downy fur. The cheese even had a nice pull with the topper being their chive aioli. And that sandwich was just the beginning because I also ordered a Strawberry Cruffin, Bourbon Peach hand pie and a raspberry Danish to have as late night snacks. The handpie didn't do it for me. The peaches lacked flavor that I found myself asking bestie if she wanted it because I was jiat going to toss in the trash after just 2 bites. The strawberry mascarpone cream in the cruffin was silky smooth and berrylicious with the croissant being flaky and fluffy. It was almost like a sweet and savory after school snack. The kind of bakery item that keeps you coming back for more. And more. And the piece de resistance was the raspberry Danish. I've lived my 61 years learning to never turn down raspberry anything and today, my raspberry research paid off. One hundred percent tenfold. Even though the glaze drizzle was super sweet, the flaky danish offset it with that light crunch but fluffy innards. Y'all, with each bite I just fell more in love. The Danish was so good that when I came to my last bite not only was I sad that it would soon be gone but I wanted to cry. Cry y'all. Over a Danish! Yes, do it. You only live once. Order the Danwich & the Danish. You won't be sorry. You can pay me in Butchertown gift cards. Or Bourbon. Hubby's brother lives across the Ohio so, next time he goes to visit them I'm going with him. Just so I can drive over here and try their lunch items and grab more danishes. The folks were super friendly, the place both clean and quiet. Which, kinda surprised me because the food is so good I couldn't understand why there weren't lines around the block. That changed the longer we dined in as folks just started roaming in. I said to my friend that the Louisville folk must get started late in the day.

    I came here for a simple banana latte and got way more than I expected. These are easily the…read morebiggest chairs I've seen in a coffee shop and they are so comfortable it makes me want to stay there all day.

The amount of variety on the menu was pretty nice, looks like there's something here for most people. I had the Cobb Salad and was happy with the amount of colorful vegetables and toppings on my plate. It comes with mixed greens (glad to see more salads with mixed greens instead of romaine), roasted chicken, nice crispy bacon, a hardboiled egg, blue cheese, black olives, tomato, avocado and a good amount of dressing. It tastes very fresh and is a decent portion size, but in terms of flavor there wasn't much going on. It tastes like "greens" and that's kinda it. I don't know what the cause is, like it's seasoned but I just didn't get much flavor. Perhaps my pallet prefers stronger flavors over lighter ones, so take this with a grain of salt (figuratively, or maybe literally). If you're in the area, check em out.
