Louisville has a lot of great independent coffee shops, and it's hard to pick a favorite, but Smokey's Bean is either my first or second fave. I drink far more coffee since they've opened!\t\n\t\nAll their drinks are fantastic, especially their seasonal specials. Their various lattes might be the best in the city, as Smokey's is one of the few places that lets the flavors really shine and doesn't go overboard on the sweetness, even in their current special, the Honey Latte.\t\n\t\nThe food is great, too, though I wish their was a bigger selection. They have bagels, scones, muffins, cookies, and biscotti, all from local businesses (or individuals), and tater tots, too! I believe they also have some non-vegetarian lunch foods, but I have not paid much attention to those, honestly.\t\n\t\nThe shop is owned and operated by a group of very friendly people who seem to become good friends with anyone who enters the shop more than once. The shop is named after the owner's dog, Smokey, who is a big sweetheart. My husband is afraid of dogs, but has no problem with Smokey, who is very laid back and friendly, and the staff are very good about bringing him in the back or taking him home if there is someone in the shop who is not comfortable with him.\t\n\t\nI probably go to Smokey's Bean between once and four times each week, and I still can't get enough. ...read more

My name is Dennie and I own The Monkey Wrench. I have read a couple reviews on here and would like the chance to invite you to come in for yourself. We have been here nearly 6 years and have created an awesome neighborhood place. I had to rate my self so i rated a 4 because no one is perfect. We offer awesome food (not your avg bar food). We serve comfort food with a stylish twist. A very eclectic decor will surround you with a roof top patio and bar unlike anything in this city. I would encourage you to come in and ask for Dennie. Thanks ...read more

Love Conti coffee but when I called because our order wasn't what I was expecting I found myself transferred to 2 different people. The last person (a female) was rude when I asked her about my order & why filter packs were not available for people to purchase. Not sure I will order again due to their customer service dept. ...read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in one afternoon to grab a cup of coffee and relax for a while. The coffee was good, and the shop was very laid back and friendly. Another friend met us there, as well. As we walked out to leave, there was a girl performing live music on the porch outside. Very cool stop. Not too roomy inside, but nice for small parties. ...read more
