For those with ADHD and won't read past the first sentence...this place is a 9.5/10!!!…read more For those who read more than the first sentence...this is a service counter restaurant with no servers. You order at the window, take a buzzer, get your drinks and find somewhere to sit. We (a party of 4) showed up around 11 on a Sunday morning and the line was already out the door. We had a hard time deciding what to order because everything we saw coming out before us looked just as delicious as the last. After the owner greeted us and gave a run down while in line, we settled on the shrimp and grits, steak and eggs, bread pudding french toast with a side of bacon, and a chicken and bacon croissant sandwich. (I wanted to order the biscuits and gravy weekend feature but they were already sold out.) The girl at the register was polite but very soft spoken so we had trouble hearing what she said. The coffee was the perfect temperature for drinking immediately without scalding yourself, and the different flavorings and types of milk/cream to choose from was a major plus! There were no complaints about any of our food except the steak was a bit under seasoned. I had the french toast, and, in my opinion, is enough for 2 people. There was a bit too much whipped buttercream for me but I was able to rake off majority, and the fruit that came on top was so fresh! The bacon was thick sliced and 3 of my 4 pieces were cooked perfectly to my liking - not too crispy, not too soft! We all were part of the clean plate club after eating because the food was that good! I wished now we would have taken pics of our food before eating! It's a shame it came up as #16 on my Yelp search because it wasn't even the least bit on my radar for our breakfast spot. But luckily, the tag line, "The second best thing you can do in the morning", caught the attention of one our male guests Definitely will be back when the chance arises!

My order of a turkey and Swiss sandwich on choice of wheat toast and a side of fresh fruit was delicious. Fruit was blueberries, strawberries, and watermelon. Sandwich had great amount of sliced turkey and Swiss cheese with an avocado spread and mixed greens on substantial slices of thick slices of bread. Unsweetened ice tea tasted fresh and not bitter. Service was attentive and friendly. Restaurant was uncomfortably cold and drafty (air conditioning) on a mid 60's temp day. We arrived past lunch rush, so crowds thinned and noise level was mild. We all plan to return in the future and felt our experience reflected great value and quality.

The atmosphere is absolutely wonderful - bright, warm, and full of positive energy. There's a genuinely happy culture here, with friendly, chatty tables all around us. It's the kind of place where strangers smile at each other and the whole room just feels alive with good vibes. Now let's talk about the food - exceptional doesn't even cover it. The Mexican flavors are authentic and absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was perfectly executed with that genuine taste you can't fake. But the real star? The Oaxacan latte. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best I've ever had. Rich, complex, perfectly balanced - it alone is worth the trip. When it's freezing and snowy outside, this is exactly where you want to be: surrounded by warmth, great food, happy people, and that incredible Oaxacan latte in your hands. Can't recommend this place enough. It's become our go-to breakfast spot, winter or any season!

Highland Morning is the kind of brunch spot that makes you cancel your dinner plans. The portions…read moreare enormous, so any plans for a "light breakfast" will soon have you saying you won't need food again until tomorrow. They're known for their pancakes (rightfully so), but the real hit is the stuffed French toast. The fresh fruit cuts through the cream cheese and thick sourdough to help mitigate the food coma that follows. Their savory dishes can leave you wanting for some flavor, but that's why the good Lord invented hot sauce. Also, yes, you can technically go to the St. Matthews location, but somehow it just tastes better in the Highlands. Maybe it's the vibes, maybe it's the mild chaos in a small space, or maybe it's the satisfaction of earning your meal as you quest for parking and wait for a table. Parking is...optimistic at best, but that walk to and from your car might be the only exercise you get once the carbs hit your bloodstream.

My latest visit to The Cafe was a lunch order for the BBLT - a BLT with bourbon bacon jam. I…read morerequested mine on the side and for me, that was a good decision. A little goes a long way. The bacon was thick and a great portion. The fries are thin and super salty. I'd recommend a different side to go with your sandwich. I noticed a pick two for a salad, soup, or sandwich. It included a drink, which made it a good deal. The menu offers several breakfast and sandwich items, plus bakery, salads, and sides. Plenty of seating and I enjoyed the brightness of the main room with its high ceilings. We had a table of 40+ people. The food came out together and our server hustled with a smile.

The cafe is a beautiful restaurant and space, but my most recent visit was disappointing…read more Upon getting to the restaurant, the main doors were open to let in freah air which was great! I started off with a diet coke and it fell flat. The menu listed a fountain drink and it was coke served from a soda gun. The carbonation wasn't strong and didn't last past the first few sips. I ordered off the breakfast menu and got the huevos rancheros and a blueberry muffin. The eggs were cooked to order and the potatoes were delicious! The muffin was okay. It was a bit on the dry side and would be skipped next time. My friend got a BLT and wasn't impressed. One piece of bread was soft while the other was hard, almost stale. It's a beautiful space but the meal was a disappointment.

The…read moreentire staff is obviously passionate about service, community, and food, and this dedication to their craft is evident in the way they operate the business and interact with customers. Foko was hopping during a recent weekend brunch, but despite this the staff made time to answer questions, provide recommendations, and ensure we had everything we needed for a truly excellent experience. Although it was busy we only had to wait a few minutes for an open table, so it's clear they've curated the inside space (both practical aspects like seating, and aesthetic aspects like decor and art) intentionally. Dishes we tried included: -Avocado toast: a generous pile of gently seasoned avocado spread on thick sourdough. -Enmoladas: GAH THE BEST. Thick corn tortillas wrapped around perfectly cooked and seasoned vegetables, rice, and beans. This dish is entirely vegan as is, and includes both vegan feta and vegan crema. -Mango bowl: a big old (not actually old) mango served with tajin and a lime wedge to squeeze on top. If you haven't tried tajin on mango this is the place to do it. -Cubano coffee: just get this. It's perfect. Brunch here is not cheap. But brunch here is worth it. And you are worth it. So go.

I went to Foko after hearing nonstop hype about it being one of the absolute best breakfast spots…read morein Louisville. The place is positioned as this incredible Mexican breakfast destination, so I figured it had to be something special. Turns out it's just standard Mexican food and drinks. Even if they were using using "the freshest most highest quality ingredients", it doesn't show in the final product at all. Heres what i got: The Espresso Martini ($14) was actually decent--nice and foamy with a solid chocolate note. The Carajillo ($8), on the other hand, was weak. It tasted like plain iced coffee with zero detectable alcohol. I wouldn't order it again. The Wake Up Burrito $14: their biggest hype item. I got it and added chorizo for $3.50, bringing the total to nearly $17.50. It's sausage, cheese, eggs, and beans wrapped up--pretty good, but nothing groundbreaking. Without their green sauce it's completely average, no different from any regular breakfast burrito at a diner. The green sauce itself is what really the only saving grace, but they serve it in tiny thimble-size portions like they're guarding some secret recipe. So for $18 you get a medium-size burrito plus a couple of fried tortillas with cheese on the side. Compare that to mexican spot like Bandito, where the burritos are twice the size and cost much less. This one is seriously overrated. The Chilaquiles - I got the side order of these with the burrito, and were average at best. Just fried tortillas with cheese and a little sauce that had a slightly sour edge. Not bad, but nothing I'd call amazing. I thought to myself, if these had egg and beans(what the main dish has) , would I have been glad to pay $17? The answer is no. Ive had better at the airport. Bottom line: Foko is incredibly overrated. It feels like a tourist trap built for people for those Luisville people who who don't eat much Mexican food and think this is the pinnacle. I get it, the decor is nice and gives that "premium" feel but the prices are way too high for what you actually get. I won't be back.

We were given champagne at the entrance by the hostess for a toast, nice touch. We were escorted through the resturant and showed the restrooms as well as the display of steak choices. Another nice touch. We were seated and served water and asked about drink orders. We all stuck with water. The server, Amber was very helpful with explanations of the specials as well as individual steak options. We opted for the Tenderloin flight, a 4oz filet, a 4 oz prime and 5 oz wagya. Most of us enjoyed the filet best, then the prime and the wagya the least. Keep in mind the wagya was excellent but the other two cuts were enjoyed more. With the exception of my son in law, wagya was his favorite. All were tender and juicy and cooked to perfection, medium rare. We ordered a large wedge salad to share, romaine lettce, blue cheese, pecans, bacon, served with a hot bacon dressing. Not sure why it's called a wedge salad but it was very tasty, dressing made the salad. We ordered mashed potato pattis, that were good, suburb grit cakes that were like nothing I've ever had and everyones favorite side, the limas, in a cream sauce with country ham crisp, again not like anything I've ever had and again excellent and lastly the green that were seasoned to perfection and very tender. We were given a complimentary anniversary dessert, a crisp pecan shell with a white chocolate mousse, and a a berry compote. It was my husbands favorite. We ordered two additional desserts. The chocolate bread pudding with ice cream. My daughters favorite. And lastly the Rumchatta butter cake, a rich butter cake that was so moist but also crunchy on the edges. Mine and my son in law's favorite. Service was exceptional, never an empty water glass, plates cleared as soon as we finished a dish and all servers were super sweet, polite and accomodating. Large parking lot, so no problem parking. I would suggest walking around to see if there is one area more than another where you would prefer to sit. I did that at the end and would have rather been in one of the back rooms instead of the bar area, just a thought. Highly recommend.
