The atmosphere Lone is five stars. This is an old 1900s converted church still has a lot of the old relics bar has the stained glass and the lantern fixtures hanging from the ceilings beautiful. another charming thing was the beer garden in the courtyard. Also really amazing selection of crafts, sours wines, trendy cocktails it was a fun spot. I would absolutely make a point of stopping in here. I happen to order one of their signature burgers which came with a Kuri ketchup selection very good french fries a little salty. I enjoyed the pretzel bun, but the salt level does need to come back soon in this part of the country. I sat in the bar area and the bartender was exceptionally good. Great knowledge of the beers very full of personality and accommodating to help. Give me good spots to check out while in town. read more

Enjoyed a great Mother's Day brunch as a treat from my kiddo and was surprised when we were able to be seated fairly quickly on such a busy day. Our waitstaff were efficient and pleasant during our visit. Noise level was mild in the rear dining area near the bar. Food was great and prepared well. Free parking was available across the street from the restaurant. read more

I love going to Gralehaus for the unexpedted - both in food and beverage. The staff is incredibly interesting and always has great recommendations! Beautiful spot for date night! read more

Gralehaus might be the best breakfast spot in Louisville! Atmosphere is top notch - set in an old house but looks like a cute cafe inside. Smaller spot so be prepared to wait but the wait typically goes by fast if you have a smaller party! So cool being able to see the chefs prepare the meals and how it call comes together. Highly recommend the biscuits and gravy! read more

I've been coming to this place for years, almost every time I come home to Louisville and have a spare morning to grab breakfast. It's a B&B that looks like a quaint little house, and the inside is so comforting and warm feeling. Food is absolutely delicious, I don't know the chefs but they need a raise asap. I always get the biscuits & gravy (heavenly), bacon, and eggs; when you visit, thats what you have to order. Service is always so kind and embodies the sweet southern hospitality that makes people claim Kentucky as part of The South. I will forever be a Gralehaus fan, thanks for always serving Louisville well read more

You just found your new favorite breakfast/brunching spot! Our favorite place we dined throughout our Louisville trip! Operating inside an old Victorian-style home built in the 1900s, that also functions as a Bed & Breakfast, Gralehaus will satisfy your belly with a great meal featuring ingredients and items from local farms and food artisans! This charming restaurant is the perfect addition to your next brunch endeavor! Highly recommend getting there before 12pm. We walked up around 11:15/11:20am and we were pleasantly greeted by the front door host. We were told there was going to be about an hour wait, which for us, we just really wanted to eat there so we put our name down. (Bonus Tip if you have to wait: Drive over the Fat Rabbit and go thrifting! My boyfriend splurged and found vintage band tees, collared button down shirts with the tags still on for a bargain, they also have stickers, jewelry, pins and books etc. also walking distance to more shops to browse or window shop located only a couple minutes up the street!) To order, you walk up and order with someone who will send it right to your table/seat. There are outdoor options available as well! The biscuit was melt in your mouth fluffy, the matcha was 10/10, Tomatoes were in season and I am so happy I trusted the person who took out order because it was the perfect BLT bacon = perfect crunch! read more

The wait was definitely worth what I got at the Gralehaus. Had it not been for my boyfriend, I would never have stepped foot in this place as I simply didn't know about it. I've unknowingly passed it several times but now I'll be back. I found my latte to be lacking in sweetness but I'm sure I could have just asked for sweetener. Easier to add than to take away. The Eggs and Grain were so good. I loved the farro which added nice texture and filled me up! Overall, a nice healthy dish with good flavor that I would get again, but maybe without the feta which was a little strong read more

Was in Louisville for the weekend and had Gralehaus bookmarked so decided to check it out. There was already a lineup when I got there which was a few minutes before it opened. It was busy inside but the decor was cute and cozy. They also had outdoor seating but it was a bit chilly for outside. Staff was really nice and friendly. I had to wait a bit for the food to come out and it was a good portion size for the price. It tasted fresh. I had leftovers too. Overall, not a bad spot but not sure if I would wait (good thing I wasn't that hungry yet!) read more

Oh my gosh ... it did not disappoint! We have been meaning to come here forever but our schedules wouldn't allow but so glad we finally can mark this show stopper off our list! I went off other reviews on tik tok & got the breakfast biscuit... probably the best breakfast sandwich i have EVER had. The sauce they put on it is to die for & my husband's omelette was gorgeous. Cant wait to come back in the warmer months & maybe sit outside in the adorable courtyard area! The only issue was parking... we got a ticket in the time it took us to walk across the lot to the restaurant, where you check in/validate your parking. It seemed petty, like they must have been standing there watching us walk away from our car, but we successfully disputed it & will try to park on the street when we go again. It takes away from the experience if you're dealing with an aggressive parking situation. read more

Cozy breakfast spot on Baxter in the highlands. They open at 9AM and there's always a line. Nice folks work there and good food. Only seats about 45 people. Mostly indoor tables, but a few outside and also bar seating. Breakfast sandwich was good and "the best coffee cake" was good, but really had a lot of sugar piled up on it. Tried a "beermosa". Was good, but had to add a little more OJ. Will be back! read more

Super cozy and inviting space! On the weekends, prepare for a wait. This Friday morning visit, we were seated right away! We ordered lattes and food, see pics! Everything was very tasty- layered flavors that leave you satisfied. When the weather is nice, I recommend sitting in the beer garden. read more

Go here. Everything on the menu is crafted intentionally and artfully. The coffee was amazing (I had the honey bee latte and my fella had the orange americano). The perfect amount of sweet where you can still taste the flavor of the beans. The smash burger was literally the best smash burger we've ever tasted and the breakfast sandwich (make sure to get it on the biscuit!) was unreal - my mouth is watering thinking about it. The atmosphere was great and the service was perfect! Can't recommend this little brunch spot enough! read more

I visited Gralehaus for brunch with a party of 4. We had to wait around 45 minutes and then were sat at the coldest and most uncomfortable place. There was an open vent that was allowing cold air from outside in. It felt like I was sitting on ice. My husband and I shared the frittata and the bowl. The frittata was so greasy that I couldn't even eat it. The bowl was very good. I don't think I would return. I really wanted to like this place but I just didn't. read more

We got there fairly early Sunday morning, a little before 10, and there was already a 30-40 minute wait which I was afraid of. If you've never been, It's a smaller place, and even the bar seats are included in the wait time, so there is no open seating. We were given the option to sit at a back table that faced the wall, it's essentially a bar top affixed to the wall with 4 stools, so we agreed to sit there, we didn't mind. We browsed the menu and once you're ready to order you have to walk up to the front counter and place your order, which is nice in the sense that you can move at your own pace. This is also where you can validate your parking* We both got the Gralehaus Cheeseburger, which is a double smash burger with american cheese, pickles, onions and haus sauce for $16 which doesn't come with a side nor do they have any type of potatoes (I asked), but honestly, for us anyways the burger was plenty. We also both ordered drinks and then sat back down. I essentially got their version of an espresso martini and my husband just got a draft beer. The martini was okay, but honestly it was nothing to brag about in my opinion. The burger was good, I wouldn't say $16 good, but it came out piping hot, and was the perfect definition of a smash burger. I just think the burger patty could have been seasoned more, and wish it had a side for the price - but again that's just my opinion. *Note there is a parking lot that is next to the building that is Paid Public Parking, however if you are visiting the restaurant they will validate the parking for 2 hours. You just need to scan the QR code at the counter and enter your license plate information do be share to snap a picture of it before you head inside. read more

Very hipster place but tasty. Some friends, my husband, and I are visiting from Detroit this weekend, the friends had been here before. They recommended getting there before 10am on a Saturday, so we showed up around 915am, but it was still a 20-min wait for outside seating. Outside, you order at a counter of sorts and then they bring you your food. I had a slight issue in that I needed the bathroom, and they only had one... I waited for about ten minutes since it was in use, then asked waitstaff if they had more (and they did, at Holy Grale next door, their sister restaurant), then had to wait longer there too. Not their fault but frustrating since I have Crohn's. As for the food, my husband got the s'mores French toast which was delicious, with lots of big marshmallows. I got the burrata toast, with apple butter, which was tasty too, on milk bread. We split an order of their smoked bacon too. I'd come back here but would probably get something else to eat, our friends each got their biscuits and gravy and liked it. Holy Grail next door also looked nice, and we may try to get there this weekend. read more

Well done! Out table orders the cheeseburger, a hamburger on a gluten-free bun. The gluten free bun was the best GF bread I've tried. It was hard to tell. The Honey Bee Latte had small pieces of pollen which added a new flavor and texture. My daughter ordered the eggs and grains. She said it was very good. read more

Sat at the kitchen bar and it did not disappoint. I popped in with my 8 year old and thought it would be just coffee and pastries... got a 5-star quality coffee shop.

Went in search of Tommy's Bologna sandwich but it was not on the current menu. Thoroughly enjoyed what we ordered instead. The Croque Monsier and a Haus Toddy for myself, Eggs & Grains and Cocoa Cold Brew Martini for my date, along with a side of sourdough toast and preserves to share. Loved the atmosphere and the wait was only about 20-30 minutes. read more

We got some of the best breakfast food I've had here. Louisville is knocking it out of the park. I had the delicious Trois Chocolate Latte and the breakfast sandwich. When my first choice (the Croque) wasn't available, the staff kindly helped me pick out something similar. I believe it is a Bed & Breakfast, so it was busy even on a Monday. Has a great cozy feel. They were kind to put up with my questions and requests, so I felt very pleased with the whole experience. Will be coming back for sure! read more

The perfect brunch spot DOES exist! Gralehaus is amazing. They have a lovely menu with seasonal items and locally-sourced food. There were so many things I wanted to try - burrata toast, biscuits and gravy, ugly frittata. I settled on the sausage biscuit breakfast sandwich, coffee cake, and a honey bee latte. I've never had coffee sweetened with honey, but it was really nice. It paired great with the coffee cake. The breakfast sandwich had a large sausage patty, pimento cheese, and egg between a biscuit. The biscuit was soft with a nice crust on the outside. The service was attentive. You order at the counter and servers bring the food to the table. All seating is first come, first serve. There is no call ahead or reservations - so be prepared to wait if it's busy. But it's totally worth the wait. read more

Arrived at 9:10 on a Saturday morning and, though they only opened at 9, they were completely full! (Took that as a good sign though since they are popular for a reason). We were eventually seated at the bar. Service was a little slow, but likely because they were slammed. They were also already "out" of one of their featured seasonal drinks, which was surprising. However, when the food came out, it was worth the wait: incredibly flavorful and well made. The place is small but comfortable and hip, and the outdoor space is lovely. We'll be back when we're in Louisville, read more

THIS PLACE WAS SO YUM. We got the honey bee lattes, with the matcha Lavendar French toast and some eggs and bacon. Everything was stupendous and the staff was SO kind. The meal was shareable and the latte was delicious! Great atmosphere! I wish I lived in this state so I could make myself come back! The gal making the lattes was SO kind and didn't mind me gawking at how beautifully she did them all! This place was highly recommended from friends that have lived here, so we knew we had to try! It did not disappoint! And we've never eaten at a bed and breakfast! It was such a fun experience! You MUST try this place! read more

Unique selection of coffee and food! Could tell everything was baked in house, including the biscuits and coffee cake. Atmosphere and music were great as well. Best breakfast/brunch in town read more

Brunch, sitting outside, it was a reasonable wait for the coffee, but one shouldn't expect to finish their lattes completely before the order arrives. (I mean how 'scratch' were those biscuits?) To the owner, I clocked that blower above the back exit at over 60 decibels. If you're going to have outdoor diners, don't subject their ears to that industrial level noise read more

This place is like a speakeasy for breakfast! It is located in an adorable house with little to no signage. Look for the little library outside. When you step inside you will find yourself in a cozy home like atmosphere with a bustling kitchen in the middle. You order at the counter and then they bring your order to your table. The food is amazing! We ordered way too much because we wanted to try everything. We ordered the coffee cake, frittata, and breakfast sandwich on a biscuit. Everything was super yummy! I also ordered a speciality latte that was delicious. Highly recommend if you are in the area! read more

We planned our road trip to include this stop based on the gorgeous menu. Unfortunately, the "matcha lavender French toast" I dreamed about for miles was missing matcha and lavender. The mascarpone and maple syrup were a great complement with fresh blackberries and tender bread, but I opted not to order one of the magical sounding matcha drink options because I wanted the matcha described in the dish. Unfortunately because it was packed and we took our food on the road, I couldn't ask the chef about the mistake. My sorghum latte was yummy (I ordered it breve), and while a decaf option would be awesome, I was happy to enjoy it "leaded." Staff was kind and happy to accommodate when I asked for a to-go cup of water for our pups! Biscuit sandwiches my fam ordered were hearty and tender and the grasshopper sourdough donut was a fun option with the cacao nibs on top! The busy inside has a great vibe. If we lived close I'd go back for the actual matcha French toast... read more

An atmospheric small brick building with an outdoor courtyard in back. This side of the establishment is brunch, while there is a dinner operation towards the main road. It's often crowded, and it was a high-end crowd when I dropped in. While the brunch menu is clearly not meant for a vegetarian hippie like me, I found their kale salad quite lovely, with grapefruit, shaved cheese, and ample seeds making for a dynamic experience. I was curious about what they call a "dandy latte", which is an herbal mix that is apparently meant to taste like coffee without having any actual coffee in it. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but it was pretty coffee-like to me, and I'm not jumping off the walls from caffeine, so I guess they've accomplished what they set out to. They don't seem to take reservations, so it's a dicey bet on weekends, but it's certainly a nice experience if you come. read more
