Breakfast platters and lunches According to the owners, Jennifer and Bruce, " Our bagels are lovingly handcrafted, boiled to perfection, and baked until they reach that ideal balance of crisp exterior and soft, chewy interior." And according to me and many other patrons, they hit the hammer on the head. They have bagels, bagel sandwiches, French Toast, Lox and Bagels. They have lunches, Sandwiches with Egg Salad, Chicken Salad, just too many to list. We had a wonderful time. The food was so good. Our friends are always so fun and perky at morning get togethers.

My favorite combo is the pastrami lox on everything with chive schmear. I've also tried the Zaydie. It was delish, but had just a little too much egg on it for my tastes.

This was a Sunday lunch visit and my friend had the bagel with a schmear, saying it was a generous schmear enough for 3 bagels and that the bagels are on par with those in NY. I opted to change it up and try an egg cheese biscuit and added on pickled red onions, which was uniquely heavenly -- tender biscuit, fluffy eggs, gooey cheesy goodness, and crunchy sweet onions. The food hall has nearby street parking as well as a QR paid parking lot across the street. Building is easily accessible and this food stall is located midway into the venue. Staff were helpful and friendly. Looking forward to future visits.

They make their bagels and cream cheese in house in addition to other pastries. The best part of this experience was the cream cheese spreads. Super rich and flavorful with a great bite. The lox quality was very good as well and all the veggies were fresh. The egg was overcooked unfortunately and the bagel itself was just ok; no better than a chain bagel shop. I was expecting a better texture from homemade bagels. The staff and atmosphere were pleasant, so overall a good experience.

Good Belly has made me realize that I need more Jewish delis in my life. I'm sadly bereft of delis…read morewhere I live, so when I come across one during my travels, I make it a point to visit. This deli hits all of the high points. Matzo ball soup? Si. Corned beef and pastrami sandwiches on rye bread? Oui. Black and white cookies? But of course. Latkes? Well, this one surprised me, because I didn't think a deli would serve latkes, but why the heck not? For good measure, there's even a signed and framed photo of Larry David hanging on the wall. This is my kind of place. The thing to get here is the corned beef with pickled cabbage. The sandwiches here are huge, but you can get half of a sandwich with chips, and it's just the right portion for a nice lunch. Along with my half corned beef sandwich, I got the matzo ball soup. That's a pretty big matzo ball hanging out there, like Seinfeld would say, but it's hanging out in a clear chicken consomme. The matzo is the size of a whiffle ball, practically. It's dense but gives way easily under the slight pressure of a spoon. It's a very satisfying and comforting soup. My children shared a grilled cheese sandwich, which they liked but were thrown off at first because the cheese they used in the sandwich was white. So if you have a kid who likes yellow/orange cheese, maybe keep that in mind. There are lots of tables inside and out, but Good Belly gets very busy, and we barely got a table. This is also a great place to get takeout, if you're not feeling like fighting the crowds.

The atmosphere is pretty cool in here! They've got a lot of movie and show references all around the place.

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.

Updating my review after another holiday celebrated with a delicious dessert from Smor Nordic…read moreBakeri. This time around we went with the Swedish princess cake, or Prinsesstarta. This is probably the most expensive cake I've ever purchased at $82 -- just after last year's Jul Log from Smor and my wedding cake -- but it was a show stopper and worth the cost! This was the best cake I've ever eaten! The sponge cake, raspberry jam and vanilla cream were just perfection. And the green marzipan on the outside was actually my favorite part. Usually I find marzipan to be lacking in flavor, but this was rich in almond or cherry flavor, I think. Plus this cake was big enough that my family enjoyed it on Christmas Eve and then in the days afterward, when more family visited. Smor was also generous in fitting in our last-minute order. It was going to be hard to beat the Jul Log, but this did it. Looking forward to ordering this again!
