Every place has an off day, and I'm guessing today was one of them. To have such prime real estate at Logan Street Market, clearly your coffee is good. Points for menu creativity. All the drinks sounded so tempting, it was hard to choose one. I settled on Demeter's Joy, which was a cold brew with peach syrup, splash of milk and mango-infused cold foam. The idea of this drink was incredible, but it lacked on execution. To be fair, the poor barista was in the weeds trying to take orders & make all of the complicated drinks. Someone came in to help out after about 10 minutes of us waiting, but it still took another 5 minutes or so for the drink to come out. I took one sip, and was highly disappointed. It tasted more like chemicals than it did coffee. My sense is the combo of syrups was too much for my palate -- I don't usually order sweet coffee but occasionally I get sucked in. For nearly $7 including tip, I wouldn't order this again. I would be willing to give this place another shot given the clear popularity and fun location. They have seats at the bar, but since it's expertly positioned at the entrance, you can grab your coffee and leisurely walk around the market. read more

After a day of kicking around some Louisville shops, it was decided that Logan Street Market would be a great place for lunch. I was so pleased to see that Safai was available for my after lunch coffee and that it is roasted on site! The barista (sorry that I cannot remember her name) was so very knowledgeable and helpful with finding suitable substitutions for my dietary needs. She created a delicious cold brew latte for my enjoyment. I tasted my husband's hot coffee concoction and it was delicious too. They also have a wonderful selection of teas for those who prefer tea to coffee. There are numerous places to sit within the market and non-metered parking is available on neighborhood streets. read more

Safai and its owner is the mind behind Logan Street Market. Like it's the original shop in the Highlands you'll find great coffee and other drink options here, but you'll need to find food elsewhere at Logan Street Market. A small gift shop runs across the back wall. You'll find coffee-related items and Logan Street Market promos, including shirts, beanies, stickers, masks and other items. This is where you can buy gift cards to use within the market. Nice experience today with our purchase and the baristas. Appreciated their attention and friendly banter. read more

You aren't going to come here for quick coffee. But you can get good coffee. If you keep in mind that you may have a decent visit! It is true that they only do pour over, so things take a little while. But the coffee is decent and it is in a cool location. I had a card for a free coffee, so I treated myself to one of the specialties. The Black Magic, a blackberry and white chocolate beverage. I wanted to try something new and different, but it wasn't exactly too my tastes. My main complaint was that when I got there, it took more time to be acknowledged and have my order taken than it should have. There wasn't a line, there wasn't a long list of orders to be made, and still it seemed like the baristas were busy with ignoring customers at the register. I like that there is another coffee option in my neighborhood. I like that decent coffee can be found in Logan Street Market. Not my favorite coffee, and I like the OG location better. But it is decent. read more

After eating & walking around exploring everything at Logan Street Market, I decided to stop by here for a 'to go' drink. I'd skipped my typical at home coffee that morning and hours later was craving a coffee fix. I enjoyed seeing the photo and written display of Safai's mission of giving back and caring for land. A bonus reason to support this business. I ordered the smallest coffee but thoroughly enjoyed the flavors and creaminess and noted no bitter aftertaste, always a plus! I look forward to returning to try other drinks offered here! read more

Cute coffee shop inside the market with incredibly friendly staff! I loved all the seasonal flavored coffees they offer, including the eggnog that could be spiked with rum. I found the coffees to be affordable compared to some big chains, so that was the cherry on top. I tried the gingerbread latte and the chai tea latte while I was I Louisville. I think the chai tea was my favorite of the two. They also have 3 sugar free syrups for anyone that needs to watch their blood sugar. Give them a try! read more

I love this location of Safai Coffee! I have always enjoyed the Highlands location, so when this spot opened up in Logan Street Market in Shelby Park I was really excited (I live just a few houses up!) to have them so close. I visit this location often for weekend coffee. And it's always great! The staff are so friendly, and they've been helpful with my coffee choices. I don't drink actual coffee, as in black coffee. I drink what I lovingly refer to as "milkshake coffee." If there's milk, chocolate, and sugar in it I'll likely be a fan. So, the staff has described many of their offerings to me, and I have thoroughly enjoyed each one of them! I have also stopped at this spot for large coffee orders. Around a week ago I had to grab three coffees, a cold brew, a cappuccino, and a mocha for myself and I was in and out in around fifteen minutes! That's just awesome! If you're in the area and looking for some great local coffee, Safai is definitely the spot! read more

I first learned about them through the Logan Street market, and then I found their actual location. It's very cozy inside and I like their black magic ice latte. I have gotten one of their breakfast burritos, it was good but portion size was small. They also have a pick up area if you need to go order which is really nice since they do not have a drive-through. read more

This is located in the Logan Street Market. Unlike the location on Bardstown Road this place will still punch your Safai Coffee loyalty card that earns you a free coffee after 10 purchases I think. Go figure. The coffee is very good and piping hot. Sometimes that doesn't happen at other coffee shops. Service is pleasant and friendly. There are a number of places to sit and enjoy your coffee. Oh, you won't find this coffee shop on TripAdvisor as they are woefully behind. read more

popped in Logan Street Market this afternoon and had a coffee at Safai. I ordered the blackberry latte and it was wonderful. Rich creamy and just the right temperature. The barista was sweet, friendly and efficient. The coffee shop is located inside the Logan Street Market, which is an open air, two story, one whole city block venue. There is plenty of seating throughout the venue. In addition to the Coffee shop there are multiple other vendors selling everything from cheeses, fresh fish, bars with cocktails, lunch options and crafty items. There is only on street parking but not hard to find today. And it's free, no meters. The seating areas throughout the venue are varied and fun, tables and chairs, couches, a few arcade games. Just an all around great venue on the outskirts of downtown Louisville. I know the review is more about Logan Street Market but hard to go have coffee and not talk about the whole atmosphere in which it is located. Safai coffee is also roasted inside the venue. So a pretty big operation. Give it a try. read more

Safai coffee is my favorite coffee shop in the Bardstown Road corridor! The folks working there are very friendly, they know their coffee, and they work well together. They do pour over for their regular coffee which ensures it is fresh, and not the burned, over caffeinated coffee you get in most coffee houses. It tastes like my home brew. BETTER than other coffee houses! Their pastries - not fresh. I had the Morning Bun, and though it looked great I would only give them 2 stars. I like their space a lot. There is a meeting space up front, lots of tables for couples or larger group (slide them together), and another more relaxed (couches) meeting or hangout space. Lots of windows up front and outdoor seating is available. If you're sitting outside you can bring your pet. Street parking is available, and there are two large church parking lots that support area businesses and don't have people towed, so parking is not a problem. Coffee that tastes like coffee = Safai read more

This place leaves much to be desired. The lady was not very friendly to me and seemed frustrated that I came even though I was ready to go and there wasn't a line. Also, I told her I think I lost my loyalty card but didn't offer me one. read more

Delicious coffee! I like this location better, even without the crepes the other one has. The staff are so friendly! The black magic is fantastic hot or cold. And a portion goes to charity. It's hard to drive past here without wanting to stop and get a coffee! read more

This coffee shop is my least favorite thing about Logan street market. The coffee is not that good and the shop is really boring, as they only have one brewing method... the meager pour over. Dazzle us guys. It's a shame that this place takes up an inordinate amount of space in the market. It is by far the worst vendor. Bring some new brews and brewing methods to Louisville. We deserve better than this. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop in town. Friendly staff, expertly crafted coffee drinks and teas. What more can you ask for? I love all of the trinkets and local art in the gift shop too. It's a great place to meet a friend before trekking through the rest of the market. read more
