This cafe was pretty interesting, from the colorful building , inside and out to the food and drink options. The seating inside was cozy and inviting , they have table seating or if you want to sit on a padded chair or couch they have that also.They also have a nice covered outside patio to sit and relax on. They have a good selection of pastries , drinks , food and cocktails. The owner and staff were friendly and hospitable. I will definitely be back, such a cool place. I love to see businesses revive old houses or buildings into new spaces. I almost forgot to mention I brought a piece of their chocolate cake home and it was delicious.

It's hard to resist The Cuban sandwich. Split it with your favorite person and add more things to your order. The beef empanada was delicious. I also tried the chicken but the beef is my recommendation. The ham croquettes have a crispy outside layer and the middle is soft. My husband claims these as his favorite. If I'm honest, I struggled to get past the inside texture. The flan latte is a good choice if you like your coffee sweeter. I'm going to choose something tamer next time - or a cocktail. The spot was rocking with music today for the World Cup. Loud inside so we grabbed a patio table. Our food and drinks were brought outside. Love the umbrellas to hide you from the sun. Street parking.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Sweet Colada. Their ham croquettes are crave-worthy. I stopped once after a long run for their croquettes and now every long run, I crave these. They're so good. Yesterday I tried their empanada trio for Happy Hour. All 3 were perfectly crispy and full of flavor. Coffee and pastries here are also amazing and there is quite the variety. Inside and outside areas are wonderful hangout spots and the music is so fun. Sweet Colada is the perfect addition to Logan Street!

What a cute little cozy cafe! Met some girlfriends after work for happy hour and I was pleasantly surprised at how cute the space was. I ordered the buffalo chicken empanadas and omg they were delicious! My friends ordered the Cuban sandwich and Yuca frites and espresso martini flight. The espresso martini flight is a must try! Especially since you get 3 drinks for $20 during Happy Hour! Just a sip and you'll see why you have to make this your new go to for one. Haha. Service was very good and they were super patient with us, thankfully. We had a long week and were a bit loud in the back area because we got so comfortable and forgot where we were! This place is so cute! The back room felt like we were in a living room, you have to check it out. I can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious foods and drinks!

I am not well versed in Cuban coffee, food, or culture. They do not have the coffee I prefer here but they do have other things for me to try, excellent pastries and other food, and friendly staff. I am usually here when visiting my friends in Shelby Park or being weird and crying talking to my (should be) pastor. It happens. I would 100% give this a try if you enjoy coffee and are more adventurous than I am.

Went for lunch a few weeks back and it was busy! Got the Cuban sandwich, a papa rellena, beef empanada, guava matcha, and the cafecito. It took about 15 ish minutes to get the sandwich and they apologized for the wait. But I wasn't in a rush anyway! I was also getting takeout but there aren't a lot of tables inside. Everything was delicious! The Cuban sandwich was definitely shareable too. It was a bit hard to find parking since they are near Logan Street. I think they also own Sweet Havana so that's the other option to get their goods.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly people, awesome flan latte!

Lovely atmosphere, friendly people, awesome flan latte! Will definitely come back for some more savory food!

The first time I came here, I was so excited to see it full! Always people coming in and out. Definitely the kind of place that may require a small amount of waiting for a table to open up, particularly on weekends. They have some delicious Cuban sodas and a Cuban sandwich that will fill you up! Buttery bread, big portion, and a delicious mustard compliments the pork. My favorite coffee drink is by far their cafecito, espresso served in an adorable lil' cup with sugar for an extra bolt of buzz. Great, deep flavors in their coffee. Their pastries are excellent, with options that have bold flavors like guava, and subtle flavors like a soft wisp of vanilla and strawberry. The staff is very sweet. The decor is so pretty, modern, well thought-out, inspired, artistitic, welcoming, and cozy all at the same time. They have a small outdoor patio with umbrellas that is lovely to frequent in the warmer months. Sweet Colada is an absolutely win for the Logan Street strip.

Super cute cafe with delicious and quality Cuban pastries and sandwiches. We came on a Sunday morning and it was busy but the vibe was so comfy and we were able to find seating no problem. The decor is amazing and it's friendly service. Street parking, can't wait to come back and try more goodies.

What an amazing little spot! A friend and I met here right as happy hour was ending, only an hour from closing...and these lovely folks served us as if we came in right at opening. No rushing, everything perfect, and beautiful service. We got 3 of the 4 happy hour appetizers and 2 espresso martini flights, which are AMAZING. Regular, pumpkin, and affogato...absolutely delicious. For the apps, loaded yuca fries, empanadas, and tostones with guacamole. So, so good. Can't wait to come back and try the pastries!

I've been wanting to check this place after coming across their profile on Insta and thought today was the perfect opportunity and arrived at the perfect time, it seemed like 20 people came in and ordered after us, if not more and I can see why! This place is phenomenal and I cannot wait to come back. I wanted to try a little bit of everything so we got a couple of things to share. We each got a croquette and then 1 beef empanada and the breakfast croissant and everything was delicious! The croissant was cooked perfectly, and had a good ham to egg ratio. The croquette's came with what seemed like a Jalapeño dipping sauce which was also good on the empanada, since it was a little dry. We also got the Cafe Con Leche, Cafecito and their version of the espresso Martini. If you've never had a Cafecito, and like espresso it's a must try. It's the tiniest, cutest shop of espresso and a small amount of sugar. My husband said the Cafe Con Leche was sweeter than he expected but was really good. The Martini was hands down one of the best I've had, and trust me I've had more than my fair share. 10/10 recommend, do not walk but run!

Let's answer some questions…read more... DO I NEED A RESERVATION? I highly recommend it. Especially if you want to enjoy some of the more unique seating in the bar. WHERE IS IT???? Well, that's half the fun, isn't it? I will tell you, facing Louie the Troll, go east and keep your eyes open. My friends and I booked the fumoir which was a WONDERFUL surprise. Possibly the only spot in the bar that has proper doors. We each had a cocktail and got plenty of small bites. I got the Faraway Towns cocktail which was really yummy. They serve some pies, which we got the cheesecake and pecan, and those were crazy delicious. The lighting is quite dim, as expected, so please keep that in mind especially if your vision doesn't do well in such lighting. The whole experience was a lovely treat, HIGHLY recommend.

We tried walking in on a Wednesday and the host could not give us any time frame or promise…read moreanything but he said he would probably be able to make something work for us and give us a call. We were basically the only person on the list and we never got a call all night after waiting around and willing to go back immediately once he called us. I'm not really sure why he could not just offer to put us down in an open reservation time slot that was later. They definitely had some open, I was just hoping he'd be able to get us in earlier. We went back on Thursday because I really wanted to go. We made a reservation this time to be safe. When we got in, I saw how small it was so I understood us not being able to walk in the previous night. The ambiance was very cozy with dim lighting and I loved the couch seating. They had a call button to call over a waitress, and I have never seen that at any bar before. I thought it was a nice touch. Service was kind of slow but the drinks were really good.

I have since returned here a couple times after my first visit, and these return trips changed my…read moreopinion a bit towards something a bit more positive. We had better initial upon walking in and getting seated service, which was my biggest complaint after my first visit. The food and drink remain great. Share-ables are interesting and tasty and getting a few things to try and share among friends or a small group has been great. And the drink options remain varied, intriguing, and delicious. Most recently, I got a couple different spritzes that were light and refreshing, which was wonderful in the hot hot heat of a Kentucky summer. At the end of our visit, a large party had come in for their reservation and it was difficult to get a server's attention to close out/get our check so we could pay and leave. So there are still some service things that could be improved. But overall, my return visit had me wanting to add a star to my initial review. I would be happy to return again, maybe even at my own suggestion rather than just if a friend suggested it.

I've been here twice now within the last few weeks. First on a Sunday right at open for a quick…read moredrink before heading over to the Liquor Lab and the second on a Saturday night for after dinner cocktails and both visits were a great time! The bartenders greeted us as soon as we walked in, were friendly, explained the menu in detail and were very knowledgeable. On my first visit I opted for the seasonal Espresso Martini (Summer Martini Menu) however I wasn't a huge fan, if your an Espresso Martini connoisseur then you know everyone has a different preference in how they are made. The type of Vodka, whether they use espresso or cold brew and the type of coffee liquor. This one was made with deep Eddie vodka, espresso and Broghetti Espresso Liquor. Now with that being said, I am very much looking forward to going back to try their new Worlds Best Espresso Martini that they have collaborated with Heine Brothers coffee to create as it is a different recipe. On the second visit it was busy and the place was buzzing. They have a very unique cocktail menu and they also have extremely rare, old and almost one of a kind liquors you can get a pour of; one bottle dates back to the 30's I believe. When you walk in and are facing the bar, they are all displayed on the right hand side. My Husband tried the Smoked and Soured Four You (Michter's Bourbon | Lemon | Sugar | Smoke) which is a drink with a show! I tried a clarified cocktail ... the Espresso Spice & Everything Nice (Espresso Infused Vodka Clarified | Gingerbread Spice | Latte Foam) which was different but really good!!

Are we talking "On Heavens Gate!"…read more Yes, Bob Dylan, that inspirational author, songwriter, wordsmith, and artist has a Bourbon. Now they were looking for where to build his so called place to breathe life into it. That "it," place. It's not in Nashville, it's here in small little Louisville. What better place than an old church? Bourbon and Church! Amen! All are welcome! Now they don't make it here this is where they come to pour it and enjoy the flavors of it. Is life about the ride? How about dinner and some Heavens Bourbon made and inspired by Bob Dylan in a church. It's a must! Now this is a small venue and off the beaten track of life. What drew me? A large image of Bob Dylan on a building, mural style seemed out of place. Come to find out explore more and salut to a better version of heaven in this world of art, music, and words that have never been better than now.

I loved walking through the rooms and seeing all the vintage details and stained glass. The Whiskey room has quite the shock factor with floor to ceiling bottles lining the walls. No complaints to be made about the service! It felt quick and smooth! The signature cocktails we ordered were very good (not pictured)! My only disappointment was the limited menu. The menu seemed to be mostly appetizers and pizza with some additional options for entrees. We ordered the Holy Fire Dip for a starter and it was delicious! It was warm and had great flavor. The waitress did need to bring more bread, the dipping options felt sparse. My husband and I split The Burnt Offering Pizza and Sanctuary Sliders, they were both solid. We both favored the pizza but would have liked more variety. I can see why this place comes highly recommended for the experience. I would definitely come back but hope they expand the menu by then!

Reservations are on a 60 day rolling basis It's an extremely small space. I would say the space holds 45-50-ish people max, but that's including the bar and eyeballing it, so I could be crazy wrong. First thing I want to get out of the way, everyone was SO hospitable. Colton was our server and he was absolutely AMAZING. So attentive, but not annoying, helpful with recommendations. Mediterranean has many definitions these days, but I would describe this is as from the Levant region, either Palenstian or Israeli. It's hard to describe the food here because it's all delicious. We started with the cauliflower. Crisp, so well seasoned. I'm not sure how I will proceed because everything was "so well seasoned." We ordered our respective dishes, but got the salatim first, which consists of a bottomless rotating tray of dishes, including pickles and olives, purple cabbage slaw, peppers, carrots, babaganoush, marinated beans, summer chershi, and feta & mint. All served with toasty pita. We all got wildly different dishes. I was torn between the salmon, lamb, and steak. I got the steak, which was crazy tender, but I was so impressed by them that I wish I had trusted them enough to get the lamb (which my server described as not overly gamey). One of my companions got the branzino, which was light and flaky, served as a whole fish. Another attendee got the chicken and was pleased. Someone else got the salmon (served with tomato stew, lemon, and crispy chickpeas), which I sampled, and it was AMAZING. If I go back, I will get the salmon. It was flaky, tender, bursting with flavor. The drinks were all so light, original, and complex. Honestly, there is no way you can go wrong with this menu. I would come back here again and again.
