Please & Thank You - Mark
800 E Market St, Louisville, KY
Crema's Take
“This beloved Louisville spot has built its reputation on generously portioned, indulgent pastries—particularly their famous chocolate chip cookies that inspire devoted repeat visits, though opinions vary on whether they're crispy or chewy perfection. Beyond the baked goods, Please & Thank You shines with creative signature drinks like their Friday Afternoon Tea and thoughtfully crafted beverages, paired with a genuinely warm atmosphere where the staff remembers you're there to discover something special rather than just grab and go.”

I heard for years about these chocolate chip cookies so today I finally tried one! It was good but it was not $4 dollars good. It was very flat and thin for that price. The service was half ass but thats expected now with the younger generation that has no people skills. I think for the money and service Coffee Crossing in Indiana is 10x better! They have the best Chocolate Chip Cookie in the game and their coffee is amazing! People skills in Indiana much more polite as well!
I ordered the Lemonade and a Friday Afternoon Tea with sugar and milk added; it’s like a great little milk tea. Great atmosphere and helpful staff! I didn’t know what I wanted and the cool dude working that shift not only helped me with better knowing the menu items but also introduced me to a few other great places nearby for my visit. They offer gluten free options on some of their pastries here. The music was great. Pillows and a variety of different seating, which I personally LOVE - when it isn’t just one kind of seating, there’s booths with pillows, a love seat, low chairs with regular tables, high tables and bar stools by the window so you get to pick the most comfortable for you. Super recommend trying the Friday afternoon hot tea with sugar and milk added. Perfect treat while the weather is cold ✨
We had the chocolate chip cookie and the oatmeal cream pie. The chocolate chip was good but I personally prefer mine crispy, these were on the chewy side. The oatmeal cream pie was good but very sweet. The coffees were okay but not worth the price. The service initially was fine but the female working last Saturday decided to blast the music while everyone was talking. There were multiple tables with families and couples at them all chatting away and she just walked over and blasts punk music from the juke box. Not sure if she wanted everyone out because they closed in an hour or not but we felt it was very rude and we will not be going back.
During my visit, I sampled the oatmeal pie and peanut butter pie. The cookie dough exhibited a soft and moist texture, making them highly recommendable. However, the beverages were less impressive. The Thai coffee, for instance, was unsatisfactory, resembling an Americano latte with an unpleasant taste. The matcha, however, was acceptable.
Not sure if it's the best cookie out there, but it's definitely dang good. We ordered a few different cookies and a coffee to enjoy while walking around the neighborhood. The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a great coffee shop—warm, inviting, and relaxed.
