    Hadn't been to this location yet and it's so cute! Great quick run in to grab a coffee and scone on my way between meetings. Super friendly, quick service. Delicious coffee. And an adorable space! While I didn't stay in there; it was a very nice space, inviting, and could see myself doing some work in there sometime. I'll def be back!

    Mango Matcha + Dirty Ube Latte
    Elizabeth N.

    Phalcha Coffee is a super cute and aesthetic Nepali-owned coffee shop in Louisville with a good variety of drinks, plants, and cultural decor. There's plenty of seating on both floors, and the service was fast and friendly. Parking is limited, but free street parking is nearby. We liked the dirty ube latte and mango matcha. The ube latte was creamy and not too sweet, while the mango matcha was a bit sweeter with a good balance of both flavors. We also loved that they offer flights for sampling multiple drinks.

    Absolutely enjoy going here for their matcha creations & their sandwich was simply delicious! In the photo is ube w/ matcha if you're wanting more of a mellow flavor

    My first visit to the newly opened Phalcha. It has a different vibe -- brighter, softer, and more feminine. The space is slightly bigger indoors as compared to its other location; however, there is not a patio. The shining star of today was the service. We asked for two gift cards, which were nicely bagged. The young lady at the counter was so friendly and we enjoyed speaking with her. My iced lavender latte was exactly as expected and my husband had an Americano. Nothing fancy for us today. Phalcha is known for its coffee flights. The space here was chaotic. This is not what I want from a coffee shop. There are people everywhere, standing on top of each other or sitting so close to another table. I'm not sure I could feel confident ordering a flight or food item based on the seating (or lack of it). Even sitting down to catch up with a friend would be a crap shoot. Parking is on the street. Be careful to watch for signage that notes spots belong to other businesses.

    Almond milk latte with black sesame
    Lisal F.

    I've been driving by this location as it's been under construction for months and finally had the opportunity to check it out. Um. Just yes. Decor - check. Menu options - check. Friendly and knowledgeable staff - check. Plenty of comfy seating (including a bright and airy upstairs situation) - check. All is well here. The winter menu is super interesting and includes a flight of holiday drinks (s'mores latte, sesame latte, peppermint mocha), Grinch latte, and black forest cocoa. Intrigued by the sesame latte I inquired about its composition, which is white chocolate syrup, black sesame paste, and milk - no coffee involved, however the person describing the process did note that customers often do add a shot of espresso. I opted for an almond milk latte with a scoop of black sesame paste mixed in, and this was glorious - excellent flavor and incredible latte art. My beverage compatriot ordered the black forest cocoa (which came with an adorable teddy bear marshmallow) and very much enjoyed. Pricing is reasonable for what you're getting - custom, boutique coffee in a custom, boutique location. I do wish they didn't charge extra for plant based milks; many chains are moving away from this and I encourage local shops to follow their lead on this. I will absolutely return, as it seems a shame to leave anything on the menu untried.

    Dirty Ube coffee and Caramel Coffee
    Janan S.

    Transport to a beautiful world with Nepalese influence. The ambiance is cozy, bright, clean, and calm. Love this coffee shop every time we have visited. The avocado toast is 10/10 and extra large and each of their coffee concoctions are stunning as well as an amazing treat.

    My beautiful paper coffee cup containing my cortado. The cup was good quality too, no leaks!
    Elizabeth G.

    I discovered this charming coffee shop today with pretty decorations. My barista was polite and friendly. There were a variety of standard and unique options. I ordered a cortado to go, and it came in a beautifully designed paper cup that I have not seen before among the numerous coffee shops I have visited over many years. The cup was good quality too, no leaks. I recommend stopping in and supporting this business.

    Excellent! I was so excited to see a Phalcha open up near my house! The specialty matchas here are EXCELLENT (strawberry or ube you can't go wrong). Sandwich was pretty filling and tasted great. My neighborhood had an Internet outage so I drove over to "work from home" and I found the atmosphere to be great to work in. I sat upstairs which is nicely tucked away, and features a shoeless rest area with pillows for premium relaxation. I didn't see many wall plugs so come with a full battery! Overall, phenomenal coffeehouse experience. I'm excited to see Phalcha grow!

    Grilled cheese
    Elizabeth J.

    I went and tried phalcha again because I wanted to try the pistachio waffle on a sick and the grilled cheese. I really liked the pistachio waffle on a stick but it was slightly too nutty for my taste and I preferred the strawberry one more. The grilled cheese was good and it came with a sweet and kind of spicy dipping sauce. The sauce was really good and it had little chilly flakes in it which I really liked. As far as grilled cheeses go it was good, nothing super special but I'd get it again.

    Latte and avocado toast
    Erica O.

    This place is exactly what you think, cute instagram-able menu with lots of nooks and tables to dine at, neon signs, and cute decor! The coffee and food items are also so so tasty! Very busy typically but the service is quick and friendly. We tried the pistachio waffle and avocado toast and it was the perfect combo of sweet and savory. The black sesame latte was delicious too, but you have to add caffeine if you want that. Perfect morning meet up spot to sit and enjoy.

    Hot chocolate
    Mona T.

    I met up with a friend at the newest location of this coffee house. It is really adorable and welcoming as you come in. There is plenty of seating especially at the windows you can people watch in Saint Matthews. The menu is extensive and they have incredible flights of coffee for the holidays. I actually got something off the seasonal menu which was a hot chocolate. My order was timely and so beautifully displayed. We went upstairs to actually have our coffee which was a great way to enjoy the space and enjoy our beverages. I would love to come back to get a flight and some food and I really appreciated the Japanese style table where you could sit on the floor with cushions.

    Cute place to meet with friends and have a drink. I love ube lattes which is why I wanted to visit. We got the ube matcha and a regular latte as well. The interior is playful with a Thai motorcycle as a table and a chandelier on the ceiling. Friendly staff answered our questions and there is a variety of seasonal drinks. Convenient location, two story interior and unique drinks make Phalcha a great gathering spot.

    Had the sweetest bridal shower at this adorable coffee shop. Coffee flights, ube, melted marshmallows and more are waiting for you. Make this your next coffee stop the next time you're in Louisville, KY. It was the perfect place for a bridal shower as they have a great upstairs space. I look forward coming back soon :)

If you enjoy spooky or Halloween-style vibes, you'll probably love it here. They also offer free Wi-Fi, so it could be a good spot for studying or getting some work done. Personally, I found the ambiance a bit too spooky for focusing, especially at night. I am just not a big fan of that kind of setting (haha). Overall, it was a good experience and definitely memorable in its own way. I can see why people would really enjoy it, so I'm giving it 5 stars! And server was very nice.

After an hour - yes - tarot time! An added perk is its attachment to Eggs Over Frankfort. The staff in the cafe, who was very sweet and helpful, let me know I can order food from them and still enjoy their cafe! I will definitely be back for a drink with Crescent Hill, then a meal from next door.

Though you could definitely do that here too. This shop has all the faves you've grown to love at Quills Coffee. The dirty chai is my go-to. I also noticed a fun list of seasonal drinks, including an apple chai for fall. It also had a selection of baked goods, of which I opted for a cranberry orange scone. I'm excited to see this stretch of Brownsboro continue to grow. Quills is definitely a part of that!

Both come with a hearty slice of Blue Dog crusty sourdough. Gazpacho: one million stars. SO delicious - flavor is spot on, with incredibly creamy texture for a vegan soup. Salad: not bad, but didn't blow me away. The greens were tasty, and the few tangerine slices and pine nuts scattered on top added a nice depth. The balsamic dressing was also pleasant. As a whole though, I felt something was missing. Maybe a crunchy or warm element? For a $15 dinner salad I expected more. The pricing: a little steep. I understand the goal is to provide elevated European cuisine, however for the quality and quantity I didn't feel the salad was worth it. That said, I would gladly pay $4.50 all day long for that gazpacho. Overall I appreciate the variety of options, especially vegan and vegetarian menu items. I would consider a return visit for the gazpacho for sure, however the issues above merit shoring up.
