Fresh Coffee, Pastries & More

i don't live in Bardstown, I stumbled across this place after leaving an appointment and was not disappointed! Walking in, this place is adorable. They have a big paper scroll on the wall that has hand written lunch specials, you walk up to a little bar to order food or drinks. I was expecting a coffee shop but this place is more like a little cafe. Lots of tables and full of people yet easy to maneuver around the restaurant. You can tell this is a place people love. I ordered an iced vanilla latte; very happy with the price, even happier with the taste! The employees were kind and helpful, I can't wait to stop back in next time I'm in town.

So happy we stopped here before going to My Old Kentucky Home! This place is so cute, they have very good coffee and scones!

Service was great, not only were they super helpful with food & beverages they also helped me find places to go and do during my downtime. Food - I had a chicken salad (can't remember the exact name) it was really good my only grievance was that they only had one dressed which was homemade ranch. Which isn't the end of the world it just doesn't pair well with fruit in my opinion. Also purchased two of the "Triple Chocolate Threat" cookies. Would consider moving to Bardstown for those cookies specifically. Life changing. Drinks -Unsweet tea, as expected enjoyable. Raspberry drink - SUPER sweet. I ended up drinking half of my tea and then mixing the both which also ended up being very good. Loved the ambiance, I enjoyed some people watching out the front window while I ate and read my book. I would be here at least 3x a week if I lived in the area. Would sell my soul for the cookie recipe if that's an option

We were staying in Bardstown for a few days doing the Bourbon tours. The first morning I hit up the ol Yelp to find me a cup of Joe. This is what I found close. I needed to look no further! Great coffee shop right downtown by where we were staying. Very cool place with great coffee, great looking baked goods too. The lunch menu looked good. We never got to try it though. Staff was fast and friendly. Super cool chill place with great coffee. Great decor and a casual place to hang out.

Fresh is a coffee and pastries store front located in the heart of the popular downtown strip of historic bardstown Kentucky. Me and my daughters met some family friends in here for a coffee and hot chocolate right after stopping by nearby hadrons for donuts. The place here is much more spacious on the inside and larger than one wouldExpect on the outside looking in. Very lovely and well done decor. Me and my younger girls all got a basic hot chocolate. It was solid. Hit the spot well with our donuts. My oldest got a marshmallow speciality coffee drink and she was a big fan. Overall this is a nice place and has solid and good coffee options. Staff was very nice and patient as our kids made their orders as well. Nice coffee spot in bardstown!

A true 3.5 star review.Look, there aren't an abundance of options in Bardstown. This place is nice, quaint, and to the point. The people I was with said the coffee was fine (which translates to slightly above average, but nothing to write home about). The pastry and sweets options changed the two times we were there, one day there was an apple crumb pie that was quite good, and then the other time some smaller baked goods, were just okay, not worth the purchase.Would def suggest if looking for a cup of coffee and in the area.

Chill vibe here, friendly service, and great iced latte! Went with a white chocolate peppermint mocha latte. Delicious homemade looking bakery goods (assuming they are homemade), teas, sandwiches, a smoothie of the day, etc! Relaxing decor, spacious, great seating options, clean restroom. Much nicer for conversation than any corporate coffee shop I've frequented!

Looking for a good cup of coffee and something to hold us over until supper. This place was highly rated and we decided to give it a try. Beautiful place with a laid back atmosphere. Couches, chairs, and of course tables are available. My wife ordered a caramel macchiato with a blueberry scone and I ordered a pour over coffee with a bourbon pecan cinnamon roll. My wife loved her coffee and the scone was delicious. My bourbon pecan cinnamon roll was fantastic but, the pour over coffee, not so much..I make us pour over coffee (with a Chemex) at least once a week and I'm pretty familiar with the process and how it tastes better than most coffees. For me, and this might not have been their fault, it was WAY TO STRONG for my taste. When I drink coffee I almost always drink it black and straight up. No creamer, sweetener, or syrups. So, I'd like to think I know strong coffee. This was to strong. Not bitter, just way to strong. Now it is possible I make mine a little weaker than some so, I'm not saying it's bad coffee but just know if you get their pour over coffee, it's pretty strong. Again, this isn't a knock on them but just an observation.

Hot ham and cheese sandwich. Only a small piece of ham with plenty bread and cheese. Quaint locally owned coffee shop.

The atmosphere, coffee, food; everything is amazing. The only thing that docks points is the service. The employees are so rude. The first time I visited I assumed maybe it was a bad day, we all have them. But this is consistant. They never smile, never make small talk and just generally look unhappy to be there. A full new staff would make this a 5 star establishment.
