Bean
1138 Goss Ave, Louisville, KY
Crema's Take
“This Louisville institution roasts its own beans in-house and pairs them with thoughtfully sourced local food, creating a genuinely welcoming space where families, remote workers, and coffee enthusiasts all feel equally at home. The bright, clean atmosphere strikes that rare balance between cozy enough for a leisurely pour over and practical enough for a laptop session, while the staff's warm humor and care for detail—from the espresso pulls to the fresh pastries—keeps regulars coming back week after week since day one.”

By far the best coffee shop you can find in Kentucky. They roast their own beans in house and partner with local businesses to bring you quality food. The staff is always warm and welcoming and you can lose yourself in the cozy atmosphere they have in the back. I've tried a lot of coffee shops around Louisville but Bean always feels like home.
Five stars across the board. The food is absolutely delicious, the environment is always clean, bright, and relaxing to sit in, I especially love being able to go into the back room and sit near the roasting machine, its so neat to look at. My favorite drink is the Vietnamese Iced coffee, its a perfect blend of sweet and bold and it pairs well with a curry salad sandwich and chips, all for a great price. They sell locally made bakery items and support local coffee production, if you are looking for the quintessential Louisville coffee shop experience, this is the place to go.
We love Bean!!! My wife and I have been visiting Bean since day 1 and as our family has grow over the years we now go with our kiddos now at least once a week. Great Coffee, great smoothies and sandwiches, and the staff are always friendly and fun. Highly recommend.
Old school and true coffee shop. Warm, practical, humorous with an all around lovely vibe. Food was delicious, coffee, which is fresh roasted, was very good. But most of all, the atmosphere of the shop-its dedicated and engaged staff, and the humanity-forward sensibilities make this a must visit.
Large menu selection, tasty coffee and food. Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff.
