I came for the coffee, but oh that display of homemade bakery items had me drooling! I had the Turkish Coffee which was a complete experience. The barista talked me through the process of making the coffee, as he was rolling the small, long-handled coffee pot in warm sand, to ensure even heat distribution and to create a foam. The coffee was served in traditional fashion using gorgeous serviceware that consisted of a long-stemmed coffee pot, a small demitasse-type cup, a covered dish with a small sweet item (in my case a small cookie), and water for cleansing the palate. I was worried that the coffee would be too strong for my taste, but it was not strong at all and had a much different taste than espresso. It was deliciously full-bodied and satisfying. The cafe was spotlessly clean with a warm and relaxing vibe with many tables. I especially enjoyed the wall of famous people and events from Middle Eastern countries. Ample street-side parking is available on area streets.

In Clifton, a neighborhood flooded with coffee shops, Café Shiraz stands out…read more I visited the small coffee shop on Brownsboro Road today for the first time, and among a loaded menu full of lots of food and drinks, there were a couple real standouts that will have me coming back. First: the Turkish coffee. This was served traditionally (as best I can tell), in beautiful servingware with a coffee pot, small mug and cup of water to drink to cleanse the palate. My friend's tea was served in a tea press which I liked as well. Cafe Shiraz also boasted a well stocked case of pastries. I enjoyed a pastry stuffed with chorizo. Cafe Shiraz had many indoor tables. It was a perfect place to chat. Such a great coffee spot all the way around.

It was so chill with plenty of fun decor and a nice collection of board games. A plethora of plants were for sale. My husband had a panini, and I couldn't believe the affordable pricing for that and my iced coffee. I would come here all the time if I was local. Ample seating and quick service make this an excellent stop for anyone looking for a coffee on-the-go or a relaxing coffee date spot with friends. Additionally, Historic Old Louisville is a great area to walk around for travelers who love looking at historic neighborhoods. I encourage tourists to grab a cup-to-go at Old Louisville Coffee Co-op and explore the neighborhood!

So keep that in mind and browse some of the local jewelry, plants and other handmade goods or hang outside on their patio. As far as coffee, they really do a great job creating balanced drinks. My go-to has become an iced americano with whole milk and raspberry. It's got a little sweet fruity kick, but a nice depths from the espresso. A super inclusive vibe, lots of opportunity to enjoy evening activities like open mics, poetry, etc. And a good playlist humming along in the background.

You can have peanut butter cream filling too. The chocolate chip cookie challenge is great. Come and take it! The iced coffee menu has its own special unique flair. They serve plain old black coffee. And even thought a Cappuccino is not on the menu they make a great one. They run low sometimes on matcha, so all the flavors of these are unknown to me . Now as for cookies and coffee! That's for you to choose. The juke box inside the store is a good idea that you can actually pick a variety of songs to play. You can sit in a little nook and watch those get their caffeine for the day. The decor is done in black with white hints. It's just perfect. Find your favorite place and please don't forget to say thank you.

There was a little white chocolate coating the outside, which I can always do without, but overall so good. The real hit was the sandwich!

A lovely lunch after a hard day of moving.

Went to Wiltshire Bakery during Sunday brunch and it was pretty busy with a decent line but it…read moredidn't take too long to order. Food took a bit to come out though maybe 15 min. Got the lox on a sourdough bagel. The bagel itself is big and pretty doughy, which I liked. They load it up with sweet pickled onions.... honestly too much, it kind of buries the salmon. And there's not a ton of lox to begin with. This isn't a loaded NYC lox bagel, you get one slice a side. What's there was a bit not sure about how they cure the salmon here. Still good overall, just not balanced. $14 feels a bit high for what you get. Tried the ham and cheddar quiche too. Nice and creamy, good flavor, slight smokiness. Solid, but really small for $10. Like a tiny slice of pie. Comes with a small fruit bowl but come on. The spanakopita croissant was probably the best thing I had. Good size, flaky, buttery, nice spinach and cheese flavor. Definitely should be warmed up for max yum factor, but for $5.50 it's a great deal. Overall, ok spot. Brunch spots know they can just charge anything and people keep going.

The employees were very friendly and quick to service. I ordered an extra-large house latte (it for sure lives up to its size-naming), and it was delicious. Ordered the wife a strawberry lemonade and she also loved it. My only complaint is a nitpick, the shop is small with not a ton of room to sit inside and less so outside. So when it's extra busy you'll really be getting everything to go but that's alright! We will be returning for sure, especially if we make any trips to the farmers market Saturday mornings.
