It takes a bit of effort to find this place, but what a gem when you do! Pleasant service and nice ambiance inside. Delicious breakfasts! The Southern Grits Scramble, with scrambled eggs atop grits was comfort food at its best. Also tried the Twice-Baked French Toast with a side order of scrambled eggs. The eggs were fluffy and perfectly done.... More

I had the hardest time choosing from this menu! Everything sounded great and everything I saw the people around me eating looked wonderful. I finally chose the eggs/bacon/tomatoes on grits and my friend had the meatless strata (and wished the serving was larger but the accompanying salad was huge). Both selections were delicious. We had Italian cream cake and bread... More

The Cafe takes the usual and puts a nice spin on it. The pizza with pimento cheese and bacon on pita was crazy good! I have never seen a restaurant in Louisville with great tomatoes in January. Unheard of! The oatmeal for breakfast is delish and oh so filling. Can't wait to go back and try something else.

I love this little place. I normally go fairly early on a Saturday morning to avoid the crowds that start turing up around "brunch-time". I have never had enything here that I didn't absolutely love. There's a great "Breakfast Scramble" where bacon and eggs and cheese sit on a base of creamy grits. There's biscuits and gravy the size of... More

We were heading for Hammerheads and they were closed on Mondays, but the owner told us to go to The Cafe on Brent. Why an unexpected treat! Their chicken and pasta salad was excellent, the decor light and fun, and the servers were so helpful and kind. They had some very enticing cakes like Italian cream cake and chocolate cake... More

We were driving down broadway looking for a place to have lunch and saw their billboard. We were not disappointed. Food was excellent. They are open for breakfast and lunch 7am to 4pm. I had the RUBINO sandwich, my wife had the chicken salad. Service was excellent, stopped by our table several times to see if we needed anything. We... More

While traveling with family and friends, we stumbled across this excellent restaurant in Louisville. The cuisine, service, and atmosphere fit all of our tastes far better than most places we visit. I cannot understate how both of those elements fit at The Cafe. The only challenge for new visitors to the area such as we were, might be its location... More

You have to look for it and I'm glad I did. A buddy and I stopped in after a round of golf and was very satisfied. I ordered the tuna melt and a bowl of soup, the server told me I couldn't eat that much food, and suggested the half sandwich and soup special. Good call, food was excellent, and... More

the chef salad is good, but everything else I have had has been mediocre at best; maybe it's just what I ordered. I think the prices are a tad steep. $15 for lunch is a tad too much.

Had Art Nouveau Chicken Salad. Excellent, huge salad. The bread was fantastic. Not crazy about the sesame dressing, but it was served on the side so had the pesto ranch dressing which was great. But my husband loved the sesame dressing. He had the Tuscan Chicken Salad and loved it, too. Definitely want to eat here again and try the... More
