    Great coffee and syrup selection. My dad (who hates sweet coffee) loved the salted bourbon caramel flavor!

    Quills has been one of my favorite roasters for a long time. I was introduced to it through Drink Trade coffee subscription and Quills was a highly recommended place to order coffee from. The Inkwell roast became my new favorite and I still enjoy ordering it. I live in Iowa and I'm currently here for a concert this weekend and knew Quills would be my first stop on my adventures. This location is so cute, open and spacious. I love the outdoor seating options as well. The staff are super friendly and helpful! Thank you for bringing my coffee experience full circle! :)

    My family of 4 had a great experience today - and based on the crowd inside and out, we weren't the only ones. This location offers a lot of seating and I was so thankful for the shade outside. My iced pumpkin latte was yummy and my husband felt the same for his hot version. My son was craving hot chocolate and his hit the spot. Service was friendly. It took some waiting for the drinks but worth it for the level of crafting the mixtures. Street parking easy to find.

    My coffee was delicious, the service was friendly and the atmosphere was chill! It was super busy when I went, but got in and out in under 10 minutes.

    Dirty chai with brumbleberry foam
    Felipe W.

    I am a sucker for foam so I got a second drink with just milk and brambleberry foam. During this foam craze (2025) in coffee shops, this is hands down the best foam I've had so far. Plus the staff was accommodating and understanding of how much I appreciated it! Come to Quills coffee where their decorations match the season (I came a little after Halloween) and the mascot is super cute!

    Service was great! There's plenty of places to sit inside the cafe. Our drinks hit the spot and if we were hungrier, those pastries looked really good.

    Cold brew and drip

    Great coffee. The location is lovely. Cute place. Constant flow of people. Menu doesn't bog you down with choices.

    The employees were very friendly and it had a nice vibe. I ordered an iced latte (the large has 4 shots of espresso) with their house made vanilla and housemade Carmel bourbon syrup with almond milk. Unfortunately, I couldn't take the espresso or syrup in the drink so the entire thing seemed like I was sipping almond milk. I can only assume I got the caffeine that I so desperately needed. I have been a few times and never had a truly spectacular drink. I think this was the last time I'll visit and I'll look for another local coffee spot that has a strong enough espresso that you can enjoy it.

    Tiktok made me do it and didn't disappoint! Quills Coffee is such a gem! Located right in the middle of town, it has a great vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating. Perfect spot to relax or get a little work done. I had a cortado and a croissant--both were spot on. The cortado was perfectly balanced and paired beautifully with the buttery, flaky croissant. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

    Plenty of outdoor seating
    Amanda B.

    It is 1,000% justified that this is a popular local chain. The coffee is consistently good at every location. This was my first visit to the NuLu spot, and it's absolutely gorgeous. Spacious interior seating with a quiet, shaded exterior patio. It's a great place to relax, read or get some work done, as they have free WiFi. I ordered their summer special, The Boardwalk, a cold brew with salted coconut cold foam--it was perfect: strong, not too sweet, and also pretty to look at. The baristas are always friendly, too. I'm new to Louisville, and this has become a trusted go-to spot. My only wish is that they had more savory and gluten-free food options, like avocado toast or breakfast burritos.

    All the scone options
    Carrie H.

    We love Quills Coffee! We don't live here, but if we did, this would be our regular coffee spot. We've been in Louisville for a few days, and you've come here every day. The people at the register and the ones who call your name for your drinks and food are very friendly. My husband loves their iced cold brew, and I love hot chai tea. We also ate the lemon blueberries, scone, and maple bacon scone, but I forgot to take pictures of them, so check out my picture of the case with all the scone options. Attention, all the people with Fur babies: You can bring your dog inside and even get a treat at the register. There are tons of seating options: regular-height tables and chairs with benches along one of the walls under their cool art. Also, a high-top table and chairs run through the center of the whole shop, and then is an outdoor patio in the back.

    Really good specialty coffee experience in Louisville! Ordered their Gayo Natural Sumatra and it was tasty. Also ordered their Ethiopian drip. Service was quick. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and a cool industrial vibe. Would highly recommend

    I feel apologetic that I do not visit here more often, which has more to do with proximity. I…read morepromise that I make up for it with recommendations! This shop taught me that an iced lavender latte can be divine, and I indulged in one this weekend. Still delicious! I do wish they offered larger drink sizes. Their largest option is a medium compared to other shops. Parking can be tricky. It's a small parking lot so you'll likely have to maneuver parking on the side streets.

    Didn't know this place even existed until I saw them on our Books and Brews passport for the LFPL…read more I'm always up for trying new places. I asked my friend to come here since it was on the way to another destination. It is definitely a unique little building. The inside was rather quite interesting, one side is the coffee/bakery/market side. The other has inside seating. We definitely looked around and at the menu to decide what we wanted. They have a cooler in the middle of the store for drinks. Since we were in a hurry (to get to our destination) my friend got a bottled glass coke and I got bottled glass Fanta. The employee behind the counter was quite interactive and was interested in knowing what prizes we got after getting the stamps on the passport. I wish we weren't in a hurry otherwise, would love to have sat down and enjoy an iced coffee and maybe a bakery treat. There's always next time.

Our waitstaff were all friendly and the general manager also visited our table to provide some historical information about the business and building. Excellent experience! The brunch buffet was delicious with fruit bar, hot dishes, dessert bar, and an omelet station. All items were well stocked, fresh, tasty, and appealing presentation. We were allowed to tour the building following our brunch, which was also an amazing and fortunate experience. Thank you is owed to all of the staff who enabled us to have such a wonderful visit.

    In Louisville and decided to check out the Brown Hotel and try the world-famous Hot Brown…read more The hotel itself is beautful and well-maintained. When it's said "they don't make them like this anymore", this place is what they mean. Ornate, elaborate and straight out of another era. I didn't stay at the Brown, so don't know what the rooms are like but if the lobby is an indication, I think it would be pretty cool. Stopped into J. Graham's on a Weds afternoon at 12:30. It was about half full. Service is quick and friendly. From looking around the room, it seemed that most people ordered the Hot Brown even though there is an extensive menu of other options. The Hot Brown is an open-faced turkey sandwich. A thick slice of turkey is served over thick-sliced bread. The turkey is covered with mornay (béchamel with Gruyère cheese), topped with bacon, sprinkled with parmasean and broiled in a gratin-dish, served with a roasted tomato. It's gooey and cheesy, turkey moist and tender, bacon crisp. Very hearty, very filling. Unique, definitely worth trying. Not sure I'm having another one, but glad I experienced it.
