    Best donuts in Louisville. Just tried a bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and that was great too. They did not skimp on the bacon.

    Menu and display case as of September 2024. Adding since prices have changed since the last photo of this was posted here.

    Great, unfussy donut shop with all the classics. Their egg and cheese croissants are good too (they cook the eggs to order). Prices are reasonable. A very nice business to have in the neighborhood.

    Always a sucker for a good glaze and some donut holes! Had a cinnamon twist too. These are great tasting donuts and yummy glaze, but could taste the fryer oil a bit, too. I'd come back next time im in the area for sure!

    There was a little line when we got there but it moved quickly. The donuts are so light and not overly sweet. I can't wait to visit again!

    I wanted to find a good local donut shop and this is it. It's small and has a hole in the wall charm to it. We got a half dozen (2 glazed, 2 chocolate long johns, a strawberry sprinkle, and a jelly). These donuts are melt in your mouth good. And you can taste how freshly made they are, most likely that morning. While I have seen bigger donut displays at other places, they have a wide variety of all different kinds (I spotted danish and croissants as well) This is also a good spot to pick up a breakfast sandwich to go. There are only like 4 tables in the whole place so this is more of a to go place. I love a good bacon, egg, and cheese bagel, and there's was very good. The bacon is perfectly cooked. I hate when bacon isn't cooked enough. And this bacon was perfectly crisp and they put on a generous portion. The cashier was efficient and friendly and we didn't even have to wait 5 minutes for our sandwiches. This will be a go to for a bacon, egg, and cheese and if I'm craving donuts

    you deserve a donut

    Dropped in about 230p on Christmas Eve Eve. They still had plenty donuts if you were not picky. I got an assortment of glazed and cake with a couple filled that they still had. The total for that dozen was less than $10. That seemed very reasonable as Krispy Kreme has taken quite a jump in price. And the taste...just like old days of fresh, delicious yeast donuts. The girl was super helpful, patient, and polite as I gathered the 12. This business is adding another location on Taylorsville Road, in Jeffersontown, by the bowling alley, taking the place of the Krispy Kreme. Although they had hoped to open by now, their reno contractors are not done. So may be end of January. They are anxious to get in and open, as much as we are!! King Donuts will be a welcomed addition to the community. Not sure if drive thru will continue, but enjoy the experience of picking ur choices, as there are sooooo many choices. King also has lunch items at Lyndon. We will wait to see our offerings!!

    Hands down the best deli sandwich shop in Louisville. The bread is so freaking fresh and tasty. The…read morepastrami was amazing and had a great smoke flavor. The meat was slightly on the fatty side for me but nonetheless still amazing. The coleslaw was out of this world. House made chips are fantastic. Chocolate chip cookie tasted so good it makes you wanna slap yo momma. The service was outstanding and they were extremely helpful for first time customers. The establishment looked very clean and they do have some outdoor seating. The end.

    I decided to give Good Belly Sandwich Shop a try after seeing a TikTok review that made the…read moresandwiches look absolutely massive and incredible. Based on that video, my expectations were pretty high. My wife and I made the trip out there, and I ordered the Reuben while she ordered the Turkey Reuben. The restaurant itself was clean and nice enough, although nothing particularly memorable. Their homemade chips were definitely the highlight of the meal--they were fresh, crispy, and probably the best part of our visit. Unfortunately, everything else fell short of what we were expecting. The Reuben lacked the bold, savory flavor that makes a great Reuben memorable. I was hoping for something that reminded me of the oversized, flavor-packed deli sandwiches you'd find in New York City, but this just wasn't it. In fact, I honestly think the Reuben at Jason's Deli has more flavor and is a better sandwich overall. Service also left something to be desired. While ordering drinks, we asked what they had available since they weren't listed on the main menu. Instead of simply pointing us in the right direction, the employee gestured toward a small drink menu sitting on the counter and made us feel like we should have already known it was there. As first-time customers, that wasn't a great first impression. Another thing that made the experience uncomfortable was an employee who continually walked around the dining room, clearing tables while closely watching people who were still eating. I understand keeping the restaurant clean, but it felt like we were being rushed, and several times it seemed like he was hovering over diners rather than just checking on the dining area. To top it off, I ended up with heartburn shortly after leaving, which didn't help my overall impression of the meal. I really wanted to love this place because the online videos made it look like a hidden gem with giant, authentic deli sandwiches. Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to the hype. While the homemade chips were excellent, the sandwich, service, and overall atmosphere just didn't justify making another trip. Sadly, this is one place I don't plan on visiting again.

    If you visit Louisville and don't stop here for a bite to eat, I feel sorry for your taste buds and…read morebelly. All of the reviews about the Danwich are TRUE! True people! Because it was bigger than my head (ok, maybe this is a slight exaggeration but not by much) i had to disassemble it to eat it in stages. First off were the waffle fries and I found them to be tasty, crunch and fluffy in all the right spots. Once the taters were off I cut that biggie baby in 8 'Oh My Danwich' slices. Y'all, I rarely find myself at a loss for words, even my high dollar, 10 letter ones, but I can't fill this space with all the adjectives I would want in describing this sanwich that would make you want breakfast for every meal. The sausage had that savory salty pork taste that makes you happy you're not a vegetarian with an egg slice that was fluffier than my German Shepherd's downy fur. The cheese even had a nice pull with the topper being their chive aioli. And that sandwich was just the beginning because I also ordered a Strawberry Cruffin, Bourbon Peach hand pie and a raspberry Danish to have as late night snacks. The handpie didn't do it for me. The peaches lacked flavor that I found myself asking bestie if she wanted it because I was jiat going to toss in the trash after just 2 bites. The strawberry mascarpone cream in the cruffin was silky smooth and berrylicious with the croissant being flaky and fluffy. It was almost like a sweet and savory after school snack. The kind of bakery item that keeps you coming back for more. And more. And the piece de resistance was the raspberry Danish. I've lived my 61 years learning to never turn down raspberry anything and today, my raspberry research paid off. One hundred percent tenfold. Even though the glaze drizzle was super sweet, the flaky danish offset it with that light crunch but fluffy innards. Y'all, with each bite I just fell more in love. The Danish was so good that when I came to my last bite not only was I sad that it would soon be gone but I wanted to cry. Cry y'all. Over a Danish! Yes, do it. You only live once. Order the Danwich & the Danish. You won't be sorry. You can pay me in Butchertown gift cards. Or Bourbon. Hubby's brother lives across the Ohio so, next time he goes to visit them I'm going with him. Just so I can drive over here and try their lunch items and grab more danishes. The folks were super friendly, the place both clean and quiet. Which, kinda surprised me because the food is so good I couldn't understand why there weren't lines around the block. That changed the longer we dined in as folks just started roaming in. I said to my friend that the Louisville folk must get started late in the day.

I had some cookies and a rosette and I do regret not getting more of those. You can also get some freshly baked breads and many Scandinavian groceries and supplies.

This is probably the most expensive cake I've ever purchased at $82 -- just after last year's Jul Log from Smor and my wedding cake -- but it was a show stopper and worth the cost! This was the best cake I've ever eaten! The sponge cake, raspberry jam and vanilla cream were just perfection. And the green marzipan on the outside was actually my favorite part. Usually I find marzipan to be lacking in flavor, but this was rich in almond or cherry flavor, I think. Plus this cake was big enough that my family enjoyed it on Christmas Eve and then in the days afterward, when more family visited. Smor was also generous in fitting in our last-minute order. It was going to be hard to beat the Jul Log, but this did it. Looking forward to ordering this again!
