Blak Koffee

Blak Koffee continues to excel -- not just for having great drinks and bites but also for being an awesome space for the community.When I visited recently, a few local artisans were set up around the coffeeshop through its regular Black Business Pop-Ups. And the owner was quick to greet everyone who walked in, welcoming them to the space. The cafe's motto is "Where Coffee, Culture, & Business Meet" -- and this definitely comes across. This also seems like a great coffeeshop to come to if you need to work on your laptop or talk with people -- not easy for a cafe to nail both of these vibes well. When I got there I ordered a tea and chicken salad on a croissant. These came out fast and hit the spot. Blak Koffee is a Louisville community treasure!

The second I walked into Blak Koffee, I was greeted by the owner, the warm sounds of content chatter, and the hustle and bustle of a cozy cafe. The menu looked fantastic, and for coffee, I went with one of their signature drinks--the Black Girl Magic, a honey lavender latte. Lavender can be tricky to get right, but this was beautifully balanced and hit just right. Took my first sip and broke into a lil happy dance.For lunch, I got the buffalo chicken wrap, and my friend went with the fried bologna sandwich. Both were flavorful, and satisfying, but not so heavy that you needed a nap afterward--just perfect light lunch fare. My wrap had the right kick of spice, and I absolutely demolished it. Our barista/server had amazing energy, and the owner took a moment to chat with us about ways they're working to involve the community, which made me love the place even more.This is officially my go-to cafe for lunch meetings. What an awesome spot.

Just off the plane from Chicago on Economic Buycott day... needed a Black Owned place to have coffee & lunch! It was perfect! Got to meet the owner and learn more about them! The food was delicious too!! Such a vibe!

Really spacious cafe with a delicious food menu and also lots of drink choices as well! Love supporting Black owned businesses when I travel.

ME TIME: Started my morning with bartista Roderick S. at #BlakKoffeeCafe as he's making my Matcha hot tea w./almond milk & a shot of white chocolate!

Run don't walk!!!This place is such a lovely spot with amazing coffee! I tried the fried chicken sandwich, it was delicious. The buns were toasted and it came with the lettuce, tomato and cheese. For coffee, I got the blak boy joy. I got it iced with almond milk! And wowwwww. It's reminds me a lot of the *good tastes* from a Starbucks Carmel frappe. But it's even better because it's a local spot instead! It is definitely on the sweet side but very worth it.The service was great, I am generally slow to pick out what I want but the lady at the counter was patient with me. They bring your food out when it's ready. It was a nice mix of younger college aged kids and business professionals here, I love that all ages feel comfortable gathering. Overall: amazing food, amazing vibes, and I cannot wait to come back!

Such a cute place and a great way to support the Russell community/ neighborhood. A coworker introduced me to this place and the food was so fresh and the smoothie was delish! Highly recommend and can't wait to come back.

I enjoy stopping by when I am downtown. Easy in and out, great service and better coffee.

Zero complaints! Lovely place. Super clean and definitely business friendly. Guests wifi and plugs available for chargers. Excellent customer service. The food is delicious! I love the menu... a variety of items to choose from. The croissant is so good and pairs perfectly for the breakfast sandwich. The chicken wings and waffle were good as well. On my next visit, I would love to try the C&W with the chicken breast and also try the chicken sandwich.

I was in the area and I had the chance to drop by. The space is a nice size which is if you are looking for a work space this would fit perfectly knowing you are not so close to someone at another table. There is a variety of seating options from tables w/ chairs and couches. I believe they rent out the space for private events so that is a plus! The menu consisted of coffee, (of course), tea, smoothies, and select food items. They offer muffins, cinnamon rolls and snacks like chips. I believe there is a food menu with other items but I didn't see it around. I ordered the "all that" smoothie and banana nut muffin to go. I didn't have to wait long to receive my drink and muffin. Understanding that it is a coffee shop and they do not specialize in smoothies just note that the smoothies are from a premade juice and there is no fresh fruit included. The muffin was just okay. I prob will not ordered it again.Overall my experience was good. I liked that they have a parking lot and not street parking. They take cashapp and Venmo along with cash and credit card. They also offer milk alternatives such as almond milk and oatmilk (and more) which is perfect since I can not intake dairy, the smoothie did not have dairy as well. I would definitely go back to try the coffee. I am currently in a caffeine break so was not able to this time around.
