Crema's Take
“Scholars' Coffee pulls serious espresso shots from Sunergos beans and backs them up with staff trained to those same exacting standards, making this one of Louisville's most technically sound coffee shops. The spacious, deliberately quiet atmosphere—complete with instrumental-only music—makes it equally suited to focused studying or lingering conversations, and regulars clearly appreciate the values-driven ownership enough to keep them coming back. Grab a pastry and expect genuinely fast, friendly service that outpaces most competitors in the city.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

See all on Google →I am not a student but go there when I can. I would rather give them my money and support them VS places that find and push values I do not hold to. I have had very good service and very friendly staff there. I meet there for Bible study sometimes.
Great atmosphere, spacious, fairly quiet. The music playlist is instrumental only, and I noticed it sounded like it was playing Metallica's song, Nothing Else Matters. I checked with the barista, and sure enough! 10/10 would work and study here again.
Absolutely the best coffee shop in Louisville! The coffee, teas, and pastries are great and the staff is the BEST!!! Very efficient and fast! Much quicker than your average coffee shop! If you are in the St. Matthews area this is a must try!!
I'd love to see a self-serve drip option. The line can sometimes be long and the service is slow. Otherwise a great spot.
Great coffee shop that serves Sunergos coffee, and their baristas are trained by Sunergos standards! Great customer service and the atmosphere is very attuned to studying. Highly recommend. Awesome hours as well.
