Day's Espresso & Coffee

I have a rare opportunity to compare 2 shops. Getting service at the incomparable GatesAuto (5stars). So 1 cup at Days and another at Safai. Days - Great coffee. Great service, warm atmosphere. Tip suggestions begin at 20% which is my not new peeve, but for $2 and change and the always fine service I wasn't looking to voice any displeasure w 15%, so not too big of a bother. Days is my spot even if I'm not really a daily.

Had the pomegranate raspberry tea with honey, lemon and vanilla syrup paired with the cheese Danish! I was a happy camper!!!!

Very spacious and lovely area first area for seating. The servers were very cordial and helpful.. I love that there's an option to have an esspresso served in a demitasse cup. It gives me the Feeling that I'm allowed to linger with my book that's my book while drinking my coffee. Styrofoam or paper cups can feel rather banal at times. And their espresso's are amazing quality! Super delicious! 😋

My family and I did a quick visit to Day’s Espresso & Coffee and were absolutely impressed. It has a bar type feel as you walk in and when you order they have a lot of options for flavorings, sizes, and types of coffee. We were looking for a small afternoon pick-me-up so the small coffee turned out to be the perfect size. I am sure on another day we will be back to really experience the full feel of this shop. Delicious!

To me, this place has the best ambiance and atmosphere.

It's chill, and the seating is my favorite. It feels comfy. The windows are wide and clear, and you can sit idly and watch passerbys and let your mind wander.

I've been coming here since at least fall 2016. They don't stay open as late as they used to, owing to the events of 2020 among other things, but it has still retained its local charm.

They offer a 10% student discount, and you can do drip coffee refills for $1.

Great tea I really love it so much
Been 4 time here and come back everyday 🥰

So happy I finally gave this spot a try - they do a wonderful job with their espresso (I got the Breve latte iced and it was great!) and have all of the little items to customize your cup - Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Vanilla, Chocolate, etc. The workers are very friendly and they have a lovely and peaceful atmosphere, perfect for working/homework or catching up over coffee. They also have local artists pieces for sale and it’s such a great touch!

Terrific atmosphere, tasty iced Americano, scrumptious baked goods, a delicious mozzarella tomato pesto focaccia panini, a bike rack outside, and friendly baristas. This cafe offers lots of seating options with an excellent neighborhood vibe and excellent people watching potential. There are sidewalk benches outside though unshaded. Beautiful heavy stoneware on sale inside from a local artist. I'll be back no doubt.

Extraordinary place for a coffee, a meeting and even do some work. Ample space with booths, chairs, tables. Whatever you fancy. The coffee is always top quality and the temperature is always right.

i love coming in here to do work & play games after class, my drink is always perfect & i've never had a bad experience :)

A locally owned coffee shop where the baristas at Day’s make incredible latte art!

In additional to coffee and espresso drinks, Day’s offers a huge selection of teas.

Day’s has a free small shared parking lot behind the building. Otherwise, there is free street parking available. There is no parking on Bardstown Road weekdays during rush hours (7-9am & 4-6pm).

I had the sugar free raspberry latte. Delicious! This place has many sugar free syrups to choose from compared to other coffee shops that only have 2 or 3.

Day's is one of my staples when I am visiting Louisville. I have been coming here for at least 7 years, and I have loved it every single time.

The atmosphere is calm and inviting. There are board games and other activities available to customers while relaxing with a nice flavored iced coffee. The espresso drinks and Italian sodas are also pretty much amazing. They also sell biscotti, cookies, and other dessert-type things that they get from a local African cookie place called Kizito, which is only a block northwest from the coffee shop.

Every member of the staff is friendly and helpful and the baristas definitely know their coffee- and espresso-brewing techniques. Try the iced hazelnut coffee with some soymilk!

I would like to express my gratitude for the delectable blueberry muffin.

Cozy spot in a great location, this Highlands staple really needs no introduction. There's lots of comfy seating, both tables and big, cushy couches and chairs, the wifi is zippy, and natural light pours in through the big widows at the front of the shop. I really like that they have an 8-oz size for drinks, too :).

Saw a man crossing the street from a breakfast place patio over, and noticed he went to Day's. I popped over while waiting for our food at Highlands. Cool art, pleasant staff, delish Apple cider-chai drink, scrumptious muffin with real fruit in it, with an vibe that was chill. Super glad we saw it. To the man crossing the street, I noticed a crosswalk just a few yards up you could use to cross more safely; the lights come on for cars to know to yield (the year go way too fast to risk it)!

Best cappuccino in town! My favorite coffee in Louisville, period— both smooth & strong. Cozy neighborhood vibe, with booths in the back for long stays. ❤

I am a big fan of THE Days Coffee! The employees are SUPERB (especially Cat) and the coffee and espresso are FABULOUS!!! The atmosphere is very calming and I enjoy getting my work done along with some delicious drinks! Would highly recommend.

Best coffee in town. Been coming here since the late 90s and have never been disappointed. Perfect location to sit and people watch.

My favorite coffee shop. The kindest staff ever! Delicious coffee and teas. Great sandwiches for when you're working too long and need a bite. And nice, private-feeling booths in the back to work from. They also support local artists by showcasing and selling their art work. I adore this place. In fact, wrote a majority of my book from their booths!
