I decided to get some orange juice and Otto's Benedict, and I was really happy with my choice. I loved the hollandaise sauce, the ham, and the grit cake together. I think the ingredients really complemented each other. I think the portion was a good size as well! The prices were all very fair. I love this quaint and cozy brunch spot!

I enjoyed the casserole and gouetta which I'm probably spelling so wrong. The mimosa was literally made with a slash of the flavoring so be careful when consuming. If I didn't have a 7+ hour drive back i would have ordered more drinks during the meal . I really like the cinnamon roll which was gooey, semi sweet, sticky, buttery, and savory. The frosting wasn't over the top and the dough consistency reminded me of a fresh baked pretzel. If you don't mind the sidewalk you may dine outside. Overall 4.2 out 5

Red Hot Roasters is still my favorite place to get freshly roasted beans in the city. Louisville…read morehas a lot of great coffee shops to choose from, but when it comes time to restock the beans that I grind at home to get me through the average work day I'm going to Red Hot Roasters. I enjoy my once a month or so excuse to walk to the shop on Lexington Avenue and ring the cowbell at the drive through to refill my can of beans. (The cowbell is a fun improvement over trying to hop on the car sensor to ring that bell, as probably one of the few people to walk on over.) Everyone I encounter working the drive through is a delight to chat with as their break between cars in a hurry. The older reviews here reminded me of the too-shortly-lived Nulu shop, which was a little bit more convenient to me and easy to miss (also that time corresponded with a limited run of bourbon barrel roasted beans and those were great and are also missed by me), but I realize Nulu offers a lot of choices for that sit down coffee shop experience and there's something to the attitude of do one thing really well that your competition can't, frills or not. They don't need to compete on interior vibes, they've got great beans. Red Hot Roasters roasts the best beans. I'm going to keep being the silly person walking up to the drive through so long as that's the case, to get my cans refilled and see what sounds exciting and fun in the specials menu to cool me down or heat me up on the return trip.

They have a house made chai syrup and different syrups (pistachio specifically) than most places do. It was my first time to sit and enjoy pastries and crepes. The almond croissant did not disappoint and the light, airiness and flavors took me back to the streets of Paris. The crepe took awhile to come out but it was delicious and my friend said it was worth the wait. I have never had a bad experience when visiting and the staff are always helpful and smiling and joking. Add this to your list of coffee places to check out!

This is not a place we regularly visit, although maybe we should. Our experiences have always been great and have no complaints during all of our visits. It is a nice quaint little place just off Grinstead Drive. The space here is decent and seating can be limited depending how busy they are. It's like being in someone else's home while feeling at home at the same time. They have seasonal menus like most local coffee shops do. I love their winter drinks where you get a small butter cookie and you can dunk it in the drink. Staff is always wonderful here and welcoming. We do love Fante's and plan to come back again, maybe not wait a year at a time.

I have passed by Fante's Coffee so many times and had a coffee date to finally make me go. I…read morecould kick myself now because it is amazing!!!! Seriously why do I do that? SMH.... This coffee shop is so stinking cute. They have coffees, smoothies, scrumptious looking baked goods and so much more. The baristas were so friendly and the vibe was just spot on for me. They had the best decor. You could tell they take pride in their coffee roasting. The place smelled amazing before you even walked in the door. I did purchase some Mexican coffee beans and the barista was so sweet asking me if I needed any information about the different kinds of bean. If it hadn't been closing time, I probably would've. I hated to keep them any longer than we already had. I got a vanilla latte and my friend got a smoothie with whipped cream. My vanilla latte was amazing. And I will admit I did have to open up my bag of coffee beans and grind a cup up and it was so so delicious. So the moral of the story is people don't pass by this place stop walk and get a phenomenal coffee and whatever you want and I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Don't let this place pass you by like I did.

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've had two very different experiences with this restaurant -- one solid, one frustrating -- which…read moreaverages out to mediocre at best. My first visit was a takeout order of breakfast tacos that were pretty tasty. Based on that, I was hopeful for a good dine-in experience when I stopped by again recently with my mom for a late breakfast. This is a counter-service spot where you order at the register, grab a number, and seat yourself while they bring the food out. We arrived around 10 AM and it was packed. Despite the crowd, the line moved quickly, but that's where the efficiency ended. Most of the open tables were dirty, so we had to clean one ourselves with napkins. Not ideal. Then came the confusion around drinks. We never received cups after ordering -- despite asking three separate times. First, we were told the cups would come out with our food. When they didn't, we asked the food runner, who said he'd check on it but just disappeared into the kitchen. Finally, we had to go back to the counter a third time just to get cups for the fountain machine. That's a lot of back and forth for something basic. When the food finally arrived, it was lukewarm at best. I ordered two bacon breakfast tacos and a side of smashed potatoes. The tortillas were so hard they were practically inedible -- I ended up tearing pieces off and eating just the egg, bacon, and cheese filling. The potatoes were bland and also cold, like they'd been sitting out too long. It's disappointing because my first experience was solid. I'm hoping this was just an off day, but for nearly $40, this meal didn't feel worth it. The staff seemed overwhelmed and stretched thin, with just a handful of employees trying to juggle too many tasks during a rush. Cleanliness, service, and food temperature all suffered as a result. For now, this location won't be high on my list to return to. There are better breakfast spots in town that don't come with this much hassle.
