Their pricing is reasonable, and the place is always very clean. My only complaint is that there are usually people here having loud conversations when I want to work about the weird problems that evangelical have or on weird evangelical dates. I thought your church had coffee shops, but I was wrong. Also, its tough for this nosey therapist not to ask follow up questions. This is a great place to produce ribbon of art or have a drink with friends. Also a great place to hustle creepy dates.

I came for the…read morecoffee, but I stayed for the chicken's feet that would grant me protection and luck for only $5, the multiple sage bundles to cleanse my chakras, and the incense sticks that might remove a hex or give me divine powers once burned. Witches Brew is a place to find all sorts of magical things, but it is also just a divine (in every sense of the word) place to sit and have a hot beverage and a pastry. It's worth a visit to this coffee shop just to see the decor. It's purple everywhere, with mood lighting, mirrors, gothic tchotchkes, creepy dolls, skulls and other fun and slightly ominous curio. There are cool things in every corner, and even though I had intended on getting my coffee to go, I decided to sit for a while because coffee sometimes just tastes better when you're surrounded by cobwebs and broomsticks. I got an Americano, which is usually my go-to if I don't know how strong the house drip will be. The Americano was nice and smooth. I didn't have to wait long at all for my coffee. I visited on a weekday during the morning, and there were two people ahead of me, but the line went fast and my coffee came out quickly.

The walls and every corner are filled with witch-related artwork, decorations, and even merchandise. It's fun to look around because there's something interesting everywhere you turn. The coffee itself was pretty standard, nothing particularly standout, but the atmosphere is really what makes this place special. If you enjoy spooky or Halloween-style vibes, you'll probably love it here. They also offer free Wi-Fi, so it could be a good spot for studying or getting some work done. Personally, I found the ambiance a bit too spooky for focusing, especially at night. I am just not a big fan of that kind of setting (haha). Overall, it was a good experience and definitely memorable in its own way. I can see why people would really enjoy it, so I'm giving it 5 stars! And server was very nice.

In a world of celestial dollar chains, choose your bro. Many Louisvillians do but it should be more. Slight rant over. To the surprise of no one, a HB Highlands location (Mid City Mall) was packed. This worked to our advantage because it gave us plenty of time to peruse the menu. Yes, I know the usual staples but I am wont to choosing seasonal delicacies at coffee shops. Everyone's had coffee. I want to know what makes you special/different. Being the holiday season, I opted for the peppermint pattie cold brew -- to go. It was an unseasonably warm day so getting a cold brew in winter wasn't entirely unhinged. The ordering process was seamless and polite. I paid (for my crew's drinks) and stepped off to the side to wait. After a reasonable amount of time, the drinks were ready. Being that the drink was to go, I didn't have the option of judging it by appearance. It smelled nice, though. As we left and I took a sip, however, something was missing. It was creamy and chocolatey but I tasted no peppermint. Like, none. Which is an issue for a peppermint pattie drink. My palate is fairly discerning. And peppermint is a fairly distinct flavor. I took another sip. Nope. Again, creamy, chocolatey and coffee...y, but no peppermint. Being that we were out the door and down the street (and the place was packed), I didn't return to address it but it was a minor let down. That said, I happily drank the coffee. Rounding up so as to be aligned with the good vibes of the season. Hopefully karma is circular.

Personally, there's a few other a little ways down the road away from the bardstown area that are much friendlier with WAY better coffee. Oh yeah, the coffee was mid. It was just ok. I wouldn't return for it but I'm also not mad about having tried it. So if it's all you have, close, in a pinch, it's good enough.

When you walk in your warmly greeted by the staff. Although I didn't talk to them long they all were very nice and even helped me pick one of the coffees off their spring menu because I was in between two. I think the prices are good here as for their espresso blend of coffee beans it was only $18 for a pound. I ended up getting a peach cobbler latte and a strudel. The apple strudel I got was amazing it was warmed and buttery and just perfect all around so definitely grab a pastry if you can. The peach cobbler latte was also very good but didn't have the strongest peach flavor but was still good. Overall cute place that keeps the menu rotating which is always good.

I asked about the bon bon flavors, since they were not labeled and it seemed that most of them has the same filling even though the outside was different. Mm... excited about that. But still got a few. Also got a caramel, which was rich, delicious and a great consistency. The bon bons were fine. Nothing to write home about. I also got a swiss roll. The flavor was okay, the cream was good, but it felt a bit confused in flavor and I didn't love it. But worse yet, there was a string in it that I unfortunately did put in my mouth and chew. Lastly I tried a cinnamon lollipop. It was hard to get the wrapper off of it as it stick the the pop. The shape was odd and jagged. The flavor was a nice spicy cinnamon, but unfortunately the texture seemed off. It was hard, but also sticking to my teeth, but not in the way you expect. So I tossed it. I hate to add on to what is already a pretty critical review, but as soon as I walked it just felt a little cluttered and uninspired. There were display shelves, but they looked a little dusty and ignored. I think calling yourself a French patisserie just puts an absolutely high standard on your shoulders, and for me this was (at least this visit) a let down.
