    Had been to the original location but hadn't had the chance to check out their new spot! Happened to stop by after eating brunch. I really wanted to try the Nepali chai! It was decent but probably not the most flavorful. I should've asked for it to be sweetened a bit. It wasn't super busy. Found parallel parking in front. A few people sitting in here just chilling. It's a beautiful space. Very aesthetic! The staff was nice though. Friendly and nice. Love that they have a seasonal menu of rotating drinks.

    Excellent coffee, excellent service and it's most likely parallel parking but worth parallel parking.

    Hadn't been to this location yet and it's so cute! Great quick run in to grab a coffee and scone on my way between meetings. Super friendly, quick service. Delicious coffee. And an adorable space! While I didn't stay in there; it was a very nice space, inviting, and could see myself doing some work in there sometime. I'll def be back!

    My first visit to the newly opened Phalcha. It has a different vibe -- brighter, softer, and more feminine. The space is slightly bigger indoors as compared to its other location; however, there is not a patio. The shining star of today was the service. We asked for two gift cards, which were nicely bagged. The young lady at the counter was so friendly and we enjoyed speaking with her. My iced lavender latte was exactly as expected and my husband had an Americano. Nothing fancy for us today. Phalcha is known for its coffee flights. The space here was chaotic. This is not what I want from a coffee shop. There are people everywhere, standing on top of each other or sitting so close to another table. I'm not sure I could feel confident ordering a flight or food item based on the seating (or lack of it). Even sitting down to catch up with a friend would be a crap shoot. Parking is on the street. Be careful to watch for signage that notes spots belong to other businesses.

    Mango Matcha + Dirty Ube Latte
    Elizabeth N.

    Phalcha Coffee is a super cute and aesthetic Nepali-owned coffee shop in Louisville with a good variety of drinks, plants, and cultural decor. There's plenty of seating on both floors, and the service was fast and friendly. Parking is limited, but free street parking is nearby. We liked the dirty ube latte and mango matcha. The ube latte was creamy and not too sweet, while the mango matcha was a bit sweeter with a good balance of both flavors. We also loved that they offer flights for sampling multiple drinks.

    Almond milk latte with black sesame

    I've been driving by this location as it's been under construction for months and finally had the opportunity to check it out. Um. Just yes. Decor - check. Menu options - check. Friendly and knowledgeable staff - check. Plenty of comfy seating (including a bright and airy upstairs situation) - check. All is well here. The winter menu is super interesting and includes a flight of holiday drinks (s'mores latte, sesame latte, peppermint mocha), Grinch latte, and black forest cocoa. Intrigued by the sesame latte I inquired about its composition, which is white chocolate syrup, black sesame paste, and milk - no coffee involved, however the person describing the process did note that customers often do add a shot of espresso. I opted for an almond milk latte with a scoop of black sesame paste mixed in, and this was glorious - excellent flavor and incredible latte art. My beverage compatriot ordered the black forest cocoa (which came with an adorable teddy bear marshmallow) and very much enjoyed. Pricing is reasonable for what you're getting - custom, boutique coffee in a custom, boutique location. I do wish they didn't charge extra for plant based milks; many chains are moving away from this and I encourage local shops to follow their lead on this. I will absolutely return, as it seems a shame to leave anything on the menu untried.

    What a cute place! We came here for an afternoon break and the place was busy! Parking is a bit of a struggle but if you find street parking, you are set. We ordered the Ube Latte, Cappucino and S'Mores Latte which were all pretty good. Service was good and pretty quick. I have to say that my favorite aspect was all the neat decor. Will definitely come back for the vibes!

    Steps to Upstairs

    Excellent! I was so excited to see a Phalcha open up near my house! The specialty matchas here are EXCELLENT (strawberry or ube you can't go wrong). Sandwich was pretty filling and tasted great. My neighborhood had an Internet outage so I drove over to "work from home" and I found the atmosphere to be great to work in. I sat upstairs which is nicely tucked away, and features a shoeless rest area with pillows for premium relaxation. I didn't see many wall plugs so come with a full battery! Overall, phenomenal coffeehouse experience. I'm excited to see Phalcha grow!

    Dirty Ube coffee and Caramel Coffee
    Janan S.

    Transport to a beautiful world with Nepalese influence. The ambiance is cozy, bright, clean, and calm. Love this coffee shop every time we have visited. The avocado toast is 10/10 and extra large and each of their coffee concoctions are stunning as well as an amazing treat.

    My beautiful paper coffee cup containing my cortado. The cup was good quality too, no leaks!
    Elizabeth G.

    I discovered this charming coffee shop today with pretty decorations. My barista was polite and friendly. There were a variety of standard and unique options. I ordered a cortado to go, and it came in a beautifully designed paper cup that I have not seen before among the numerous coffee shops I have visited over many years. The cup was good quality too, no leaks. I recommend stopping in and supporting this business.

    Grilled cheese
    Elizabeth J.

    I went and tried phalcha again because I wanted to try the pistachio waffle on a sick and the grilled cheese. I really liked the pistachio waffle on a stick but it was slightly too nutty for my taste and I preferred the strawberry one more. The grilled cheese was good and it came with a sweet and kind of spicy dipping sauce. The sauce was really good and it had little chilly flakes in it which I really liked. As far as grilled cheeses go it was good, nothing super special but I'd get it again.

    Latte and avocado toast
    Erica O.

    This place is exactly what you think, cute instagram-able menu with lots of nooks and tables to dine at, neon signs, and cute decor! The coffee and food items are also so so tasty! Very busy typically but the service is quick and friendly. We tried the pistachio waffle and avocado toast and it was the perfect combo of sweet and savory. The black sesame latte was delicious too, but you have to add caffeine if you want that. Perfect morning meet up spot to sit and enjoy.

First off, purple if my favorite color so I am in love with the exterior and even more in love with the inside decor. It's witch heaven if there is such a thing. Every inch is decorated perfectly....loved the vibe. It was packed when we went in, not a seat to be had. Looks like a cool place to chill reading a book or meet up with friends. There was one person working and however you are....youre a badass!!!!! You were rocking it today. So friendly and patient with it being our first time. Thank you for your patience. They have Summerween Specials right now which were amazing. I chose the Stevie Nicks which was a white chocolate and cherry latte topped with cheesecake, foam crushed graham crackers and a cherry. It was perfection. The perfect balance of coffee flavor and not too sweet for me. My daughter ordered the Marshmallow Inferno Cold Brew which was absolutely beautiful. It's a dark chocolate cold brew with marshmallow cold foam, crushed graham crackers and a toasted marshmallow. We also ordered a cheese danish which was very very tasty. We will most definitely be back.

Elixir specializes in mushroom coffee and other healthy tonics. And I was able to chat with the owner for a bit about his business and passion behind it. It's clear he is very knowledgeable.

I also like how this business seeks to give people an alternative to bars, when you want to get out, sip on something, but be careful about it. This is definitely worth a visit to learn more.

I enjoyed a calming cup of tea, tempted to chill on their retro couch and pull tarot cards (they had a 'Dark Crystal' tarot deck out for guests to use!), but I sat by the window, surrounded by plants, and people-watched on and off as I worked a little. After an hour - yes - tarot time! An added perk is its attachment to Eggs Over Frankfort. The staff in the cafe, who was very sweet and helpful, let me know I can order food from them and still enjoy their cafe! I will definitely be back for a drink with Crescent Hill, then a meal from next door. I absolutely love the openness of working together, both uplifting each other, and therefore uplifting the community. This is what I love about living in Louisville.

I wandered in yesterday to find this new shop buzzing with lots of patrons. I love the mix of high tops for working with tables inside and outside geared toward talking. Given its smaller size, this definitely seems like a coffeeshop that's good for a grab-and-go coffee or meeting someone to talk one on one, rather than spending a large portion of time sitting and working. Though you could definitely do that here too. This shop has all the faves you've grown to love at Quills Coffee. The dirty chai is my go-to. I also noticed a fun list of seasonal drinks, including an apple chai for fall. It also had a selection of baked goods, of which I opted for a cranberry orange scone. I'm excited to see this stretch of Brownsboro continue to grow. Quills is definitely a part of that!

    I've heard great things about Caffe Classico. I love Classico Takeout and Empanadas so it was time…read moreI gave this one a try. I was not impressed unfortunately. Don't get me wrong; everything was good, but it didn't live up to what everyone was saying. The location is great. It's on the corner of Frankfort and Clifton. I like all the windows and the chill vibe. It's seat yourself, but they do table service. We got empanadas: beef, chicken, and ham & cheese. They're great--just like the ones at Classico Takeout and Empanadas. They were out of the entree we wanted so we got the salmon. It was pretty good. My biggest disappointment was the pizza. Several people recommended the spicy Thai shrimp pizza. It was just okay. I did not taste any Thai flavor. It was basically a cheese pizza with diced shrimp and a drizzle of buffalo sauce. I didn't care for the crust either. It ended up being a $70 dinner that was just okay. If we go back, it'll probably be for the empanadas or fries. It seemed like almost every table got the pomme frites so they must be good.

    I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars because:…read more The service: amazing. Our server was welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu items, ingredients, and ability to customize. She offered recommendations when we were indecisive, and made sure each customization was executed accurately. The food: unpredictable. Let me explain: I ordered the gazpacho and the ensalada fresca. Both come with a hearty slice of Blue Dog crusty sourdough. Gazpacho: one million stars. SO delicious - flavor is spot on, with incredibly creamy texture for a vegan soup. Salad: not bad, but didn't blow me away. The greens were tasty, and the few tangerine slices and pine nuts scattered on top added a nice depth. The balsamic dressing was also pleasant. As a whole though, I felt something was missing. Maybe a crunchy or warm element? For a $15 dinner salad I expected more. The pricing: a little steep. I understand the goal is to provide elevated European cuisine, however for the quality and quantity I didn't feel the salad was worth it. That said, I would gladly pay $4.50 all day long for that gazpacho. Overall I appreciate the variety of options, especially vegan and vegetarian menu items. I would consider a return visit for the gazpacho for sure, however the issues above merit shoring up.
