    I visited the St Matthews location which is much bigger on the inside than it appears, there is even an upstairs loft space with seating and outlets if you need to plugin. There is only street parking which can be hard to come by at peak times but I was able to park right outside the door. When you walk in it is absolutely adorable inside. It's light, bright with lots of plants, which I love and cultural decor. I wanted to try something unique so the Barista suggested the Ube Cardamon Chi and asked for it not to be too sweet. It was smooth, creamy and very delightful. I am excited to go back to try more options, like the flight they are famous for.

    Had been to the original location but hadn't had the chance to check out their new spot! Happened to stop by after eating brunch. I really wanted to try the Nepali chai! It was decent but probably not the most flavorful. I should've asked for it to be sweetened a bit. It wasn't super busy. Found parallel parking in front. A few people sitting in here just chilling. It's a beautiful space. Very aesthetic! The staff was nice though. Friendly and nice. Love that they have a seasonal menu of rotating drinks.

    The atmosphere here is always great, a cute coffee shop in the Louisville metro. They have decent matcha and their chai is always great! Beyond the drinks, the staff is super friendly.

    Excellent coffee, excellent service and it's most likely parallel parking but worth parallel parking.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    What a cute place! We came here for an afternoon break and the place was busy! Parking is a bit of a struggle but if you find street parking, you are set. We ordered the Ube Latte, Cappucino and S'Mores Latte which were all pretty good. Service was good and pretty quick. I have to say that my favorite aspect was all the neat decor. Will definitely come back for the vibes!

    Ube w/ match

    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

    Steps to Upstairs
    Neisha H.

    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!

    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.

    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.

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

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. I absolutely love the openness of working together, both uplifting each other, and therefore uplifting the community. This is what I love about living in Louisville.

I wandered in yesterday to find this new shop buzzing with lots of patrons. I love the mix of high tops for working with tables inside and outside geared toward talking. Given its smaller size, this definitely seems like a coffeeshop that's good for a grab-and-go coffee or meeting someone to talk one on one, rather than spending a large portion of time sitting and working. 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!

Now of course they have coffee, a variety, but I was just so in awe of all the other offerings. It doesn't stop there. On Wed from 430 to 730 is Happy Hour and the drinks from the bar are half off. The night before I had a 14.50 Old Fashion at a local restaurant, but the option to have a $6 Old Fashion will bring me back every time!

Several people recommended the spicy Thai shrimp pizza. It was just okay. I did not taste any Thai flavor. It was basically a cheese pizza with diced shrimp and a drizzle of buffalo sauce. I didn't care for the crust either. It ended up being a $70 dinner that was just okay. If we go back, it'll probably be for the empanadas or fries. It seemed like almost every table got the pomme frites so they must be good.
