One of the best things about Louisville is the variety of coffee shops. Of course, there's always a Starbucks around the corner, but I love hanging out when I can at the locally-owned shops.
My absolute favorite is Java Brewing Co. on Bardstown Road. They've got a killer raspberry iced tea and delicious sweet and savory crepes. The baristas are quick but friendly. And I'm convinced that the place has a vibe that reminds me of Florida. It's a roomy spot, which really isn't typical on Bardstown Road.
I recently stumbled upon Sunergos on Preston Street, near the University of Louisville. The shop probably makes the best-tasting coffee in town. The curious mocha shake (pictured above) could convert even the most fervent Frappucino lover. Sunergos has some pretty retro decor -- it's like walking straight into the 1970s. But the most amazing thing of all is that Sunergos is next door to Nord's Bakery, which I hear produces the most wonderful bacon doughnuts. I have yet to venture in, but I plan to.
There are endless options. I haven't even named a quarter of all the quirky, fun places my yarn and I have played at!
