    Caufields, call me weird but, as a Louisville native I have not set foot in this store until recently. A friend and I were killing time until the Beer fest at Frazier began. Located on 10th and Main sits Louisville's oldest costume store. Going in the store had a great layout but, the only kicker is the old building smell. My friend gave away about me being there the first time and one employee said I had to visit "The Dungeon". Had no idea what that meant but will get to that in a bit. We walked most of the store and my friend got occupied by talking to someone they knew for quite a bit so I decided to peek into "The Dungeon", one of the employees I refer to as the cool older lady with tattoos got some things set up for me to go in however I was a tad nervous to go by myself lol, she was kind enough to go in with me. I did only have one jump scare but, won't spoil it on here for those who haven't been. After that my friend was done talking to their friend, we went to the other side of the store where the Halloween house was set up and the old tv and vhs tape set up. They also have gag gifts and milestone birthday stuff on that side as well. I love this store just as much as I love Halloween. If you need a costume, they have just about everything for the family here. Also, don't forget to visit The Dungeon (If you Dare) bwahaha.

    The back room of Caufield's serves as a haunted house.

    For those folks who are true Halloween fans this is the ultimate destination. Yeah, you can go to Spirit Halloween but you don't get the variety or service. Don't forget the haunted house area in the back of the store. There is a small parking lot and street parking. The street parking on Main Street is metered. That being said 11th Street and the area past that on Main Street west is free if you're willing to walk a block or two.

    Caufields novelty is a year round Halloween superstore located just on the other side of the underpass where the popular museum row of downtown Louisville Kentucky is. One cool thing about this novelty shop is it is home to the worlds largest vampire bat that hangs on the side of the building and stares down the worlds largest bat at Lousiville slugger down the block. So with that type of creativity you can imagine what lies in wake for you inside the store. Now, I've been meaning to Visit this store for years. I've heard great things. This past Thursday me and the family along with some friends of the family made the trip to get some zombie gear and make up for the scheduled annual Lousiville zombie attack/walk. Walking in and the store is much larger then anticipated. There are 4 separate rooms of spooky and fun goodies. They had plenty of zombie make up and accessories that more then met our needs. The costumes and decorations is massive. They even have some nostalgic decorations that look like they are from the 80's and 90's The very back room has the very spooky and fun animatronic decorations. It's basically a mini haunted house back there. So many cool decorations that you will not find anywhere else. Like most seasonal holiday pop up shops This year round one is very pricey and expensive. Halloween decorations are whey pricey unFortunately. They did have decent prices on some of there costumes. But if your thinking is "they are year around so they probably have prove breaks", you would be wrong. The place was well upkept and the workers were very nice and hip to the local scene. They could tell from our merch we were gonna do the zombie walk. So they were very helpful. Overall the damage for my family of 6 was just under $200. Then we got home and an hour later the zombie walk was cancelled due to lack of police patrol. All sales final on receipt so we will be equipped for Halloween or next years zombie walk. Overall very awesome and fun shop. I'd prefer to support a local business like this over a spirit Halloween anyday. It's a bit of a haul to the busy downtown and they have tough hours to make (close at 5pm most of the year). But if you can make it to caufields it is well worth it.

    The one stop Halloween shop in Louisville! Caufields in an awesome shop with a truly great selection and some awesome employees. They also have a super cute shop merch section!

    Fun store that is filled with numerous amounts of halloween materials and costumes and props. I really like their "dungeon" display in the back of the store. It is filled with scary items and things that jump out at you. My kids were too scared to go in there so we did not take them but I went in and it was really spooky. Good fun place

    Holy. moly. I almost feel stupid for never coming here before to costume shop. They literally have everything, and multiple rooms filled with something for every occasion. This place has been around for a long time now, and it's a fine example of a local business gem in West Lou. Costumes, masks, wigs, makeup and other party-type items can be found here. And not just for Halloween..you will find themed treasures for just about every other holiday too. One of the biggest pluses is that they have their own parking lot. Always a win for downtown. The staff who work here are great as well.

    I love Halloween. I love going in Caufields to look at all the decorations, masks and costumes. Fun place. The Hearst is usually out front but was not there this time. Still had a cool set up of decorations.

    Because sometimes you just need interesting things!

    I came to Taste of Kentucky to buy postcards. There are very few places locally that sell them so…read morethis has been my go to location. I'll be factual that each postcard , the standard 4" x 6" size, cost $1. There is no discount for larger purchases and to be frank I never questioned it in the past . I would just pick out a dozen cards and pay the price. I roamed the store for cute KY items I could enclose in some greeting cards and decided everything was a little over priced or didn't suit my fancy. I left thinking I would recommend this store to out of town guests that wanted Kentucky memorabilia. After leaving Taste of Kentucky I went next door to the Hallmark Store to pick up some greeting cards. Upon check out to buy my chosen cards I asked if they had any postcards. They accommodated me immediately by bringing a stack to the front counter. There were many of the same postcards but a few different choices. Since I was standing at the cash register I asked how much their postcards were. Most were 30 cents and the highest price one was 79 cents. I stocked up with an additional 18 cards. Sorry Taste of Kentucky you have lost me and my recommendation to others as the place to buy postcards. Even when I'm at a tourist location on the Atlantic coast beaches or in San Francisco, CA postcards standardly are far less expensive than Taste of Kentucky prices. You need to rethink your price or lose customers.

    I loved this place. This place had me feeling extra grateful to be a local. Especially surrounding…read moreThe Kentucky Derby. They had things from ornaments, kitchen items, memorabilia, T-shirts, jewelry, candles, & all the Kentucky Proud you can think of. The place was clean & the customer service was great. They walked around answering any questions & handing out baskets. Just incase ;) 10/10 recommend. Oh & a personal plus for me was I purchased a GOLD PEGASUS PIN! WhoO HoO LoL
