Red Hot Roasters

I was greeted kindly at the window by someone who was very informative about the menu! Yummy frozen cream and pastries

Red hot roasters is a specialty coffee shop and pastry place located near the popular Frankfort ave of a Louisville directly across from the Breslin park. Place had A very whole in the wall vibe to it. It is a decent sized building however they only offer drive thru/walk up windows and has some picnic tables near the street sign. No idea why they don't allow people in as I'm sure they could get 3-4 small tables in if they used the space right. UnFortunately on our visit that includes my family and some family friends it was cold and rainy (come on Mother Nature it is may 29th!). So we ended up eating and drinking in the car. I personally got a red believer hot chocolate and it was fantastic. Very smooth and great taste to it. One of the better hot chocolates I've had. I also got a cinnamon roll. It was solid. Pretty run or the mill. Would of been better served hotter. My wife and oldest daughter got breakfast burrito beget both said it was really good but different. Had shoe string hash brown and jalapeño aioli on it. My oldest also got a honey you can't handle me latte and a chocolate croissant and she loved both. My second oldest got a kids hot chocolate a big Reese cookie. Cookie was massive and tasty. A bit dry but still very good. Overall we had a great visit. I wish they had indoor seating and I wish we had chosen a nicer day to come. The place had one lady doing it all and we had walked up to the drive way with my family of 6 and our other family friends. So we had big orders which took her a bit and unfortunately caused 3-4 other cars in line to drive off. So they may be even more successful with a better setup inside and more workers.

I don't know why I don't stop by this coffee spot more. That ends today! It was a gloomy, rainy, cold January day -- something a hot coffee drink and baked good could definitely help with. Red Hot Roasters has a drive-through, which is key during these COVID times. I pulled up, and all of the menus are on display and easy to read. Because it was such a dreary day, I decided to get something particularly cheer-y. I got the dirty Chocolate Chai off the Valentine's menu with espresso. It was the sweet and caffeinated pick-me-up I needed.The star of the order, though, was the cinnamon scone, which has become my go-to at coffee shops. This is my favorite cinnamon scone in Louisville now. It has cinnamon throughout, not just via icing or a little in the dough. It was flaky on top and full of flavor. I drive past Red Hot Roasters on my way to pick up my son from day care. This will be a regular stop.

It's been a long while since my last visit to Red Hot Roasters, so long that it's moved! It's drive thru now although they let you walk up to the window as well if you decide to park and sit on the patio.I grabbed a cold brew with light cream. Very nice, hit the spot. My husband got a dirty chai. He wasn't excited by it but didn't ask what it included. The added espresso threw him off. However, he did love the peanut butter bar. Huge! And a lot of peanut butter, which he kept claiming was "protein, right?"They offer the typical pastries and drink options, plus seasonal drinks. Mayan Cafe burritos are also offered. Nice, local experience. Allow a few minutes of waiting time.

Took a ride out to Red Hot roasters because I was tired of the subpar coffee I was getting from nearby coffee shops in st Matthews, both local and commercial. Walked up to the drive-thru and ordered a couple of what ended up being perfectly balanced lattes. Not too sweet not too overwhelmingly coffee-y. Really rich taste, not that burnt coffee taste that I've been getting from a lot of places lately.One wonderful woman was singlehandedly running the show when I got there. She was polite, she was quick, and overall an awesome experience.You can tell they're a unique, local shop. And I want them to take all of my money. Can't wait to go back and try the burritos for breakfast because they sound delicious.I got an iced Mexican mocha, a Drunken Pumpkin, and a Cinnamon Bun latte - all exceptionally better than any other lattes I've tried around town lately. Will definitely be back.

What a great find! Have passed this pass many times and noted how adorable it was. Today the stars aligned when the placed I scheduled my car cleaning was right next door and I was looking for something to do while they worked on my car. Walked right over to window and ordered from the kind woman. Yummy coffee! Best part is there are a ton of cute picnic tables and high tops to sit at enjoy your drink at on a nice day. I see there are umbrellas available for super sunny days. FYI it's a drive-thru only place!

Red Hot Roasters has been a long-time favorite of mine. One of the few local coffee coffee that have drive-thru. The coffee is very delicious and consistent on every visit. The service is fast and staff is friendly.

I finally got to try this place! It's a tiny coffeehouse ran by a mother and son. They were so kind and courteous and recommended different options. I opted for a skim latte with sugar free syrup. The latte was so creamy and had the perfect amount of froth. The establishment is drive thru or walk up only, and the owners are very dog friendly. They even asked me to bring my puppy next time so she can get some treats

This is a really cool spot that I hope more people discover!It's a quiet area of town still but this area is putting up a ton more shops and such. I came in with two others around maybe 10:30/11 ish and the barista was chatting with two ladies who often frequent. That's a good sign that they've got regular customers who patronize. I saw two other ladies with their kids in here sitting inside.I thought it would be more of a hipster vibe but maybe it was the time of day? It's derby week and it was a Thursday morning. Loved the Derby decor though!! Anyway, the barista was nice! So personable and had a great attitude. It's clear she loves what she does! I ordered a drip coffee with almond milk. Good price at a little over $2. Not bad! I'd love to try the other drinks.My sister got a honey you can't handle me latte. It had honey and raspberry. Yummy! I've had something similar at a coffee shop in Lexington and it tastes just the same! Yay!My friend got the Eskimo latte blended which had white chocolate and mint. I could really taste the coffee! It wasn't super sugared up like the ones at Starbucks. Nice work, Red Roasters!Loved the space. It's not large but I like the setup. A few small tables here and there and some seats outside. You can walk to a few of the galleries behind the building which is cool. Anyway, we sat outside. It was nice! It was quiet out there and pretty calming. They have a bench down the stairs so if it gets busy you could always sit there or on the stairs.They also have a ton of treats, mugs, kombucha, and dog snacks!Anyway, I'll come back again! Parallel parking isn't bad in this area. And there are other shops to check out nearby!

This woman makes my coffee order better than myself! Not even my husband can do that! My favorite coffee shop in all of Louisville!!
