Please & Thank You "MARK" · NuLu
Small-batch NuLu bakery and coffee shop. LEO-era local critics have singled out its drip coffee, and USA TODAY has called the house chocolate-chip cookie the best in America.
Quills Coffee · Original Highlands
Louisville-born specialty roaster since 2007. The Baxter Avenue cafe and roastery whose creative, non-commercial rooms have defined the city's third-wave scene.
Sunergos Coffee · Germantown
Roasts its own beans on site on Preston Street and builds bold blends, with Blend B the one regulars order by name. LEO's local coffee guide covers it alongside the city's other independent roasters. Three Louisville counters and a training lab, and the Germantown room opens early enough for a real morning.
