Inside

Visited on a weekday morning and really enjoyed this place! There's a good amount of street parking nearby. The atmosphere is comfortable and cozy, although there aren't a ton of seats, so might be hard to get one if it's busy. Prosciutto sandwich was really good, and a good size too. Staff was friendly and helpful as well. Overall a great experience!

Coffee flight
Jenna K.

Loved!!! Adorable coffee shop! The wall decor everything was a vibe. My friend and I got coffee flights which were great! Nice to try some different flavors, there were a few we weren't huge fans of though. The flights were prepared perfectly and garnished beautifully!

Toffee coffee, and rose coffee

A beautiful find in the neighborhood. It gave a cozy quaint, feeling with plants alongside the walls nicely lit with all different types of coffee. The drinks we had got were toffee drink, and rose coffee. It was so delicious. Owners were very nice.

Fall flight
Brandi C.

The coffee options are so fun. The flights (original and fall themed) were amazing and a perfect portion of each drink. We also got the avocado sandwich that was also pretty amazing. Not the best service. Not super warm / friendly and despite it being a new place, not very informative. However, the vibe and coffees were really good. Whether you're looking for a coffee date and chat or reading / focusing this is a nice place to try! Despite the service, I will be going back!

Overall a Cozy Spot with great coffee and unique options. My mom and I ordered their seasonal fall drink tray and the regular. The matcha: Pretty good quality, all the grassy, smooth notes you want in the matcha came through and it was a very comforting experience. Solid quality matcha. It tasted better than the typical culinary grade and more like ceremonial grades I've tried. The Strawberry Rose Espresso: As a big tea drinker I know a good rose drink and this hit the spot. It was a very nice blend of espresso, rose and strawberry that allowed each note of the ingredients shine through. The espresso was pretty light and didn't come through strong like a lot of other places do which surprised me. For this drink it worked well. The Ube: Fantastic vanilla, buttery warm notes and the marshmallow was a fun touch. I've had many Taro and Ube drinks/ice creams and desserts and this wasn't lacking. The other drinks I didn't particularly enjoy and they weren't memorable for me. I think their espresso isn't very strong and the darker more chocolate notes don't come through like I'm used to. I believe it was a lighter roast from what I tasted in the drinks. If you like that then you'll like the espresso. Overall a good spot with a nice selection of shots/drinks for those wanting to expand their palate.

Such a cool ambiance for a Louisville coffee shop. Good craft coffee is hard to find in a city filled with pour over obsessive hipsters; I feel this is a much needed add to Louisville coffee culture. Service was fast and kind, and got to play some of the board/card games while eating an incredible prosciutto sammy. Will be back everytime I come home.

Nutty Rose Latte

Stopped in during a quick day trip to Louisville last week. Such a gorgeous place, atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing cup of delicious coffee!

The decor in this place is very cute and cozy. There's a good amount of indoor seating, along with shaded outdoor seating on their patio. It's always busy so be prepared to duel for a table. The Roseberry latte is my favorite but, in general, all of the drinks here are on the sweeter side. I prefer naked or half-clothed coffee drinks -- just black or with a splash of milk -- and occasionally I'll splurge on some sweetened cold foam. But this is more like dessert coffee. This was my second visit, and I just discovered that they serve food. I didn't order any since I had just eaten but the toasts looked very yummy. I'll return occasionally for a treat or to chill in the inside seating area.

Prosciutto sandwich
Sarah E.

- yummy and fun - great area - expensive My friend got the Iced coffee flight - rose-strawberry, ube, matcha, butterscotch from the left to the right. She said it was super good, super refreshing and not too sweet. It was hard picking a favorite but if I were just choosing one I'd probably go back to the butterscotch. Ube latte I got was fantastic. I got it only lightly sweetened and that was perfect. It tasted like I was drinking a baked good. Dirty latte was the ube latte with expresso. We got this regular sweetened and it was a bit too sweet but great. Prosciutto toast was delicious, and a good amount of food. Avocado toast was more filling and also nice but nothing special. The bread in both were the best part. It was a sandwich so we actually took home our extra bread. Lots of good seating, great natural light and a back patio, very cute decor. I was there on a busy Saturday morning so this could be why but the tables were a bit dirty. Overall I love this place for a treat but the prices were pretty high.

Flight
Jennifer R.

The shop is so cute!! They have ice cream and food but we stuck to drinks this time. It was our first time in so we decided to go with the flight of their speciality drinks. They were all very Instagram worthy by looks and tasted great. I'm surprised to say I think the beet drink was my favorite of the flight. We tried the strawberry matcha as well and that was extra yummy, it will be my go to when we go back. They had a nice little back area as well, would be a great place to sit and read a book.

Velvet Crush Latte
Chanise S.

Customer Service is always great . Wait time can be a little long when waiting for food but it's good and hand made . Waffles are yummy . Scones are good . Avocado toast is to die for

I visited Phalcha on a hot summer afternoon in Louisville. I tried the dirty Ube Latte based on the staff's recommendation. It was excellent. The flavors were unique, smooth and perfectly balanced with just the right touch of sweetness and espresso. The staff was warm and helpful which made the experience even better. The cozy ambiance adds to its charm and makes it a great spot to relax.

Almond and Chocolate croissants

Went to Phalcha on a Sunday morning around 945am and it was packed! Street parking. Ordered a cortado and coffee flight. It took 35 minutes to get both because of how crowded it was. Husband really enjoyed his cortado. The flight was sweet and tasty but I wish there was more of the drink/less foam. I would need another coffee afterwards as well. Would like to return when less crowded and order a regular drink. Pastries were tasty but I should have asked to have them warmed up.

Have you ever stepped into a place and thought, "Yes, this is my kind of place"? I came for the…read morecoffee, but I stayed for the chicken's feet that would grant me protection and luck for only $5, the multiple sage bundles to cleanse my chakras, and the incense sticks that might remove a hex or give me divine powers once burned. Witches Brew is a place to find all sorts of magical things, but it is also just a divine (in every sense of the word) place to sit and have a hot beverage and a pastry. It's worth a visit to this coffee shop just to see the decor. It's purple everywhere, with mood lighting, mirrors, gothic tchotchkes, creepy dolls, skulls and other fun and slightly ominous curio. There are cool things in every corner, and even though I had intended on getting my coffee to go, I decided to sit for a while because coffee sometimes just tastes better when you're surrounded by cobwebs and broomsticks. I got an Americano, which is usually my go-to if I don't know how strong the house drip will be. The Americano was nice and smooth. I didn't have to wait long at all for my coffee. I visited on a weekday during the morning, and there were two people ahead of me, but the line went fast and my coffee came out quickly.

I recently stopped by Witches Brew Coffee, and it was definitely a unique experience. The whole…read moreplace is themed around witches, and you can tell they have really committed to it. The walls and every corner are filled with witch-related artwork, decorations, and even merchandise. It's fun to look around because there's something interesting everywhere you turn. The coffee itself was pretty standard, nothing particularly standout, but the atmosphere is really what makes this place special. 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.

3.5 After being…read morerushed out of TJL, my party walked across the street to try and salvage our meet up. As Louisville natives, a trip to HB made perfect sense. In a world of celestial dollar chains, choose your bro. Many Louisvillians do but it should be more. Slight rant over. To the surprise of no one, a HB Highlands location (Mid City Mall) was packed. This worked to our advantage because it gave us plenty of time to peruse the menu. Yes, I know the usual staples but I am wont to choosing seasonal delicacies at coffee shops. Everyone's had coffee. I want to know what makes you special/different. Being the holiday season, I opted for the peppermint pattie cold brew -- to go. It was an unseasonably warm day so getting a cold brew in winter wasn't entirely unhinged. The ordering process was seamless and polite. I paid (for my crew's drinks) and stepped off to the side to wait. After a reasonable amount of time, the drinks were ready. Being that the drink was to go, I didn't have the option of judging it by appearance. It smelled nice, though. As we left and I took a sip, however, something was missing. It was creamy and chocolatey but I tasted no peppermint. Like, none. Which is an issue for a peppermint pattie drink. My palate is fairly discerning. And peppermint is a fairly distinct flavor. I took another sip. Nope. Again, creamy, chocolatey and coffee...y, but no peppermint. Being that we were out the door and down the street (and the place was packed), I didn't return to address it but it was a minor let down. That said, I happily drank the coffee. Rounding up so as to be aligned with the good vibes of the season. Hopefully karma is circular.

Staff was a bit pretentious and rude but that's sorta the area so not sure it's the businesses…read morefault. They seemed annoyed we were there rather than excited to serve the customers that provide them job security, but hey it's kinda the norm for the younger generation I suppose. If you like be treated like "you don't belong here, you're not good enough to come to our establishment" by some snot nosed college kid, this is your place! Personally, there's a few other a little ways down the road away from the bardstown area that are much friendlier with WAY better coffee. Oh yeah, the coffee was mid. It was just ok. I wouldn't return for it but I'm also not mad about having tried it. So if it's all you have, close, in a pinch, it's good enough.
