Love the mural on the wall and the kindness of the staff. Everything is very nicely organized. There's a butcher area, cafe, fresh food, and aisles of grocery staples from the Middle East. Love the spices, savory snacks, cookies, drink selection, and their fresh meats. We already went there before but tried the Too Good to Go app for their fresh bakery breads and it was sooo good. I highly recommend going there if you want to try new food and their daily specials. The desserts are heavenly and we really enjoyed the giant specialty cookies! A must try market and can't wait for their next pop up with Jiran Coffee!

Located in the same building as the classic Token Club, Yafa sits at the far left. Upon walking inside, you are greeted with a stunning mural highlighting Yafas Middle Eastern roots. From fresh affordable produce to Turkish coffee and grape leaves, not to mention the CAFE AND BAKERYYY, Yafa is your one stop shop. Whether you're indulging in the handcrafted hummus, pastries, schwarmas, falafel, or meal of the day; expect a joyful belly and happy heart. Not only is the food delightful, but the conversations with staff even more! As for faves; my favorite pastry is the vegetable pie of spinach, onion, and sumac. A game-changer pastry and refreshing to *finally* see sumac in European pastries in Louisville! The baklava is 99 cents. Everyone else in the neighborhood is $4+ for Baklava and even more for pastries, bread, and hummus. I'm also a big fan of the tahini version of garlic sauce. Different flavor than Safier but still incredible. It honestly balance with the pickles, tomatoes, and cucumber perfectly in the sandwiches. I'm a sucker for flavor balances where each note is enhanced by its neighboring ingredients! Which then leads to my love for the schwarmas and falafel! If you love Safier, then you will LOVE Yafa! The $6 hummus is a MASSIVE size and will feed a family. Not to mention I finally have fresh homemade labneh that I no longer have to recreate! One treat I love to grab once a year is the knafeh. My preference is the shredder over the fine box. It is incredible!

Being new to the area, I feel this business is a cross between Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. It's a local grocery, market, garden and restaurant. They have coffee and lovely smoothies to keep you on the go. All the fresh produce that you need. Then in the back they have a little bit extra. Remember you can order food here. So why, eat in a green house. It's a lovely place to come and visit and explore. See you in the neighborhood!

When you walk in the grocery store is on the right & they have a bar to the left & there is a small section to sit down & eat next to the buffet. Just an FYI Hispanic owned restaurant & store, English isn't the first language but they still provide friendly & great service. It's buffet style restaurant,they do to go as well. No menus at this time, essentially you get a plate & drink for one price (price may vary based on what meat option(s) you choose). The server told & showed us what options they were offering on this day. There were 2 different rice options: black beans & yellow rice w/o beans, veggies options either yuca or plantains, a good amount of protein options from shredded chicken & beef, to pork (bone in), ribs (bone in) & lamb ( bone in) & more. I decided on a plate with the rice w/beans, fried plantains, & the lamb. It also came with a side salad (just shredded lettuce & sliced tomatoes) she gave us a large plate for the table. The portion size was large but I was sharing my plate, which was plenty for the both of us. The rice & beans were well seasoned, the plantains were my favorite, sweet & delicious, the lamb was easy to eat, fall off the bone & seasoned. They had can drink options, I got a diet pineapple soda which wasn't bad & not overly sweet. It was a decent meal for about $15.00. We hit of the grocery part next, I got a couple of my favorite seasonings & some Goya waffers & a couple of drinks for the rode. The prices was great & affordable, but they do have a lot options in the grocery store from frozen goods to some fresh produce. If you are in the area & wants some Cuban foods, check this place out.

There was so much, I ate it twice, same with the chips and salsa. When I'm back in Louisville, I'll be dining here again!

When we arrived we saw the tables outside, it was kinda windy and chilly so we hoped there were tables inside. There weren't but the stars are for Vanessa Galan! She promptly greeted us and told us about the establishment. I was looking around, taking pictures and she handed me a menu. I saw they had a location in Mt. Washington! She told me they were a larger location with tables indoors, and more of the experience we wanted for lunch. She did recommend the chili and pulled pork. I will say that this location has brisket (which I was strongly considering) and MW does not. But Vanessa was explaining that her brother and sister in law (Kim - she's awesome!) own them. Love supporting local, family owned so we headed to Mt. Washington. Also she explained that she makes the marinades and applies them to the marinated meats herself. Thanks Vanessa! I'll be back one day for brisket!!!

I waited 3-4 mins and was handed the food. It was $9.45 after tax for the sandwich. I ate it out in the truck and wish I could have said it was 5 out of 5 best ever but I can't. The sandwich was small and not that tasty unfortunately for the price especially. It had no Smokey flavor and just tasted like pulled beef roast on a roll with bbq sauce. I did not enjoy and was really wanting to like it. I'll give it another shot with another food item but I'll pass on this sandwich

Green tamales are chicked and chiles and have some heat to them. Overall this place has most everything you need to make an authentic Latinx dish at reasonable prices. We are frequent shoppers.

I've been here twice now and finally added this business into our lovely Yelp world. This place is a "Panaderia", a "Carniceria", and a "tienda"..essentially an all in one grocery store but filled with a lot of neat Mexican things. You can find Pinatas here, you can find Mexican Candy, Mexican sweet bread, and pretty much everything else you can eat or decorate with- with a Mexican brand name. You can find all the aisles with enough room to walk through without feeling cramped. Everything appears clean and organized. The employees there have been friendly and helpful in assisting me find something specific both times I have been there. This place is a bit hidden- it's on Eastern Blvd but deep within a large lot. Find it and give this place a try for some great Chorizo or sweet bread!
