Alley Cat Cafe & Catering

I used to work in the area 10 years ago and would have lunch here once a month. I still go to this excellent little eatery every once in a while. It’s definitely worth the drive.

This is the way cafés should be. Just walked back in time a bit and enjoyed a good home cooked meal.

Great little locally owned shop with excellent food and service!

The wife and I found this place on a whim. Got greeted and seated quickly. Note, this place is tiny (like 7 tables tiny). Prompt service on the coffee and placing our order. Wife ordered scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries and toast. I got sunny side up, hashbrown casserole, bacon and toast. Standard breakfast is eggs, meat, HBC, and biscuit and gravy (we don't do biscuits and gravy). Everything was hot and delicious.
A couple notes..
There was one woman working on Saturday morning, which is the norm. She was hostess, waitress, cook, busser, and cashier.
Food was served on Styrofoam plate and plastic silverware. We didn't understand that until we found out she was by herself.

We would 100% return when in the area. What a unique experience!

Friendly staff and a very pleasant atmosphere. Overall, my fiancée and I had a great lunch at alley cat. Admirably, my food wasn’t quite a 5 stars as far as taste is concerned. However, the staff was so nice and I love supporting local businesses so much, I couldn’t help but give them anything less than a 5-star review.

We will definitely be back again sometime!

Met friend here for lunch. My soup, cheese tortellini, and half a Turkey BLT were delicious! Service was friendly and quick. Haven’t been to Alley Cat for several years since we moved from Middletown, but already making plans to go back very soon! Hidden treasure! It was wonderful!

Alley Cat Cafe is one of my Middletown "go to" cafes. My friend and I enjoyed lunch while celebrating my birthday. We each enjoyed the roast beef sandwich. (BTW, they were able to accommodate my mushroom allergy without compromising the quality of the sandwich.)
We each took home a slice of the honey cake which was as delicious as it was unique!

I had the grilled cheese with a side of broccoli salad. It was delicious and server was very friendly. The value for the money far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this place.

Really tasty for a nice lunch with my mom! I had the half soup half sandwich. The benedictine panini was AMAZING! Really crunchy bacon and fresh cucumbers really added a lot to what can be a bland sandwich. And I got the cheese tortellini soup which was really broth-y with a bunch of tomatoes and Italian sausage in it. SO yummy :) Will definitely be coming back here. The only problem was finding it, thankfully my mom knew right where she was going.

Ended up here when I took my car to have the windows tinted nearby, and was told there was no waiting area. It's 26° F outside with snow and ice still on the ground, but okay! 🥶 I began (carefully) walking. Up the hill and around the corner, I see the word "cafe" on a building, and head in. Alley Cat Cafe is very cozy, clean, and welcoming! Breakfast was hot and tasty, and the cafe made for a nice place to hang out for a few hours. 👍🏻👍🏻

This place has a very homey, welcoming atmosphere and the owner and staff are all incredible nice. Every part of both my and my girlfriend's breakfast meals were absolutely delicious. The price is also quite reasonable for the amount and quality of the food.

We will definitely be going back to try their lunches and baked goods.

We love to meet at the Alley Cat. We especially like the Tomato Basil soup. I always have it with lunch and take an order to go for dinner. Their special sandwich for the day is always good but today the grilled cheese with tomato and bacon hit the spot. We try to meet monthly. So until the next time.

Lori helped me with catering needs for our business opening celebration. She was so great and easy to work with. The food was amazing, everyone loved everything and her pricing was so reasonable. I would highly recommend them. Thanks so much for helping us with are food needs for our special event. Jenny, Bluegrass Awards & Gifts in Middletown,

Fantastic food and service and now they're doing breakfast! A nice breakfast menu that covers the basics and doesn't get overwhelming. There's a quiche of the day to try too. Check it out; you won't be disappointed.

I got a reuben and a cup of homemade chicken and noodle soup.The soup was seasoned perfect.I recommend giving this place a try

Great place for breakfast. Vegetable inlet is great. Mimosas by the bucket fir orange juice. Steak and eggs great. Nice small Restaurant in Louisville KY. Great little escape

We love this little cafe! The homemade soups are so good! The staff are friendly. Great place for a quiet lunch with a friend or two!!!

WOW, great food! So glad that Taco Bell and Thortons have some competition for lunch options! Downtown Louisville needs more restaurants that are locally owned !

Wonderful and friendly service, and the food was EXCELLENT! I can't believe we've lived so close for 2 yrs and missed it up until now. We'll be back many times.
