Fresh Coffee, Pastries & More

Quaint little coffee shop! Enjoyed stopping in here while visiting and shopping in Bardstown. Service was good, prices were reasonable and lots of options for coffee. The cinnamon roll is delicious! Also, their seasonal drinks were great. Loved the caramel apple latte! This is a great place for coffee and pastries when in the area.

It's a cute little shop, very clean and quiet. The staff were all very sweet and helpful! I tried one of their Holiday drinks, and it's one of the best coffees I've had in a long time! Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Since I was stopping in for a gift card I figured I'd order lunch and try the place out.
Hands down the best roasted red pepper soup I've ever had! I also got the sandwich of the day, which was a roast beef wrap. It paired perfectly with the soup. Even came with a little side of macaroni salad that would put grandma's to shame. It was all absolutely delicious! The atmosphere of the place was inviting and warm. I wish I had time to sip a coffee. I will definitely be back for some!

Our lunch was very good. The ham and cheese sandwich was my favorite. The perfect blend of cheese, bread and meat. The bread is not simple white or wheat, but an interesting herby bread that adds to the experience. The tomato soup was an excellent pair

I highly recommend.

A lovely nook and great first stop if you're driving in early for a day exploring Bardstown. We read about this place in "Kentucky Bourbon Country" and we're intrigued and entertained by the name, since in print it looks like the place is literally called "fresh coffee." We like it.

Feedback for Fresh: Sadly, I did not try one of the specialty coffees because I didn't see them listed inside, only outside as I was walking out. I don't know if this is my mistake or the specialty coffees really aren't listed indoors.

This place smells like heaven, it is absolutely adorable and the workers are so friendly and helpful. It made me wish I had some work to do on my laptop so I could stay all day, it's just so cozy!

This cafe is wonderful! Quiet with an artsy feel. My chicken salad and fries was amazing. Loved the young woman who took out order-very informative and funny, too. The homemade strawberry cake was to die for... You must visit! Oh and, Bardstown is a fun spot for a day trip. Lots of little shops to explore!

My husband and I stopped in for an afternoon coffee while enjoying the shops downtown. I don't know what type of beans you're using, but this was the creamiest, richest, most delicious coffee we've had in a long time. WOW! Two thumbs up. Great customer service as well.

Great coffee, delicious looking pastries and cakes, great service. Bagels leave something to be desired, more like a bread.

Everything you want in your coffee shop! Pastries, relaxing atmosphere and solid coffee. Loved it!

Incredible cold brew, delectable pastries, and friendly service... this place is amazing. I haven't even left yet and I'm already looking forward to coming back :)

The 49ers fan barista behind the counter was so friendly and pleasant it made my day. Just as importantly though, the espresso this place serves is incredible. I grew up in New York and lived in Seattle for years so I like to think I have a pretty high expectations when it comes to coffee, and this was some of the best I’ve tried in recent memory. If I’m ever in the area again there’s a 100% chance I’ll come back here! In fact, I’ll probably go out of my way to make a return trip.

The best little coffee stop in town!!
Excellent coffee. Pastries are delicious. I love the breakfast bagels. And the homemade soups are amazing!
The staff are always so friendly.. always with a family welcome.
I love Fresh!

Small town charm and friendly smiles with a eye opening wake me up americano! Amazing place very cool vibe.

First PSL of the season and it was made to perfection 🤩 whether I’m getting lunch, cake or a coffee, fresh never disappoints!

Loved the atmosphere here.
The coffee was flavorful & strong.
They have hot tea options. "Christmas is a cup" was really good as was the ham & cheese bagel and raspberry scone.

Stopped in for a quick pick-me-up, but this place is everything you want in a local coffee shop. Cool art, airy decor, really beautiful hand made mugs for sale, super clean and of course, delicious, hand made espresso drinks!! They even have locally made dog treats from a shop up the street for your furry buddies and proceeds from $1 ca-paw-cinos (whipped cream in a small, dog-safe quantity) goes to the local humane society. Coffee and community connections- you'll find it here!!

Wonderful baked goods, and my chai latte was amazing. The customer service was very good.

This is the only place I have seen that makes bulletproof coffee!! The prices are very reasonable, food is great & employees are friendly!

Been meaning to try this place out for awhile. The panini was the bomb. Loved the little touch of having the mini candy bar in the box for desert. Definitely will be back. Worth the issue of finding parking down town. Another plus for them one of the dining spots that is open on Monday.
