Reviews of JW Cafe & Bakery (Bakery)

Brandon Manahan

This is NOT your typical cafe & bakery. I ordered the veggie kimbap (roll) and smoked salmon salad and both were very good. But oh that salad! I like that they use super fresh organic spinach and the salmon itself was perfect. I don't eat salad often but I love smoked salmon and this was one of, if not THE, best salads I've ever had like this. Just the perfect mix of ingredients and I really liked the dressing. Staff was very friendly but be patient, they are making this to order so it takes a few minutes. Way, way worth it. And you can tell by the packaging of your to-go order that they are proud of what they do. The decor and colors are casual and calming. If my office wasn't 1/2 a mile away, I'd find more reasons to end up here to finish work or something. What a cool, unique place.

Strawberry cake was delicious. It was not overly sweet and it was very light. The ham and swiss croissant was great also.

Becky Roy

Delicious!!

A cute Asian cafe where you can get some pastries and relax to do your work. All their pastries are fresh and made in-house. As it's ready, they're wrapping them up right before your eyes. Their pastries aren't overly sweet. So if you wanted a little dessert without all the sugar, this is the place. They also have bubble tea! So, if coffee isn't your thing, just have some boba.

Kelly Gold

Delicious drinks and pastries. Wonderful alternative to the chain coffee places & the best cafe I’ve been to in a long time!

Jon Robinson

Food is good, but the menu is limited.

Paul Clark

Excellent food, excellent service, reasonable prices, and a very comfortable, pleasant dinning area. I got the tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Both excellent!!

Tury Canes

Great food and pastries. Pretty much everything is made from scratch here. Fresh croissants are baked everyday and they are to die for. People are great and very friendly. The barista, Effy, is super friendly and makes some awesome coffee!

Theresa M

Cozy and warm interiors with friendly staff. The Tomato soup was great, as well as the warm panini. I got a chocolate chip scone to go, and it was delicious!

Cafe looks very cute with multiple beverage options and lots of delicious looking food out. I reviewed all items I could see and none were gluten free, so unfortunately I can't eat here, but it looks nice.

Local business doing a great job!

Very chill environment. I love Korean food and coffee. I came here once for lunch and once to study and both times were positive with good costumer service.

Stumbled across this gem while waiting for a doctors appointment. All I can say is wow! The decor is warm and cozy and clean, and the staff are as sweet as can be. I had a chai latte and chicken noodle soup and both were amazing. I will definitely be back and will recommend to anyone in the area!

Stephanie Vander Zouwen

Paige Alcorn

Nice, bright space. Delicious cappuccino, coffee, croissants, and Korean food. The Bibimbap was on point. I just wish the portions of meat and veggies were larger because I couldn't get enough! Highly recommend!

FOC

The chocolate croissants are delicious. Please stop by and pick up 2 or 3. One is not enough!

Sarah Smith

Great espresso. Never busy, plenty of space, open atmosphere, kpop quietly playing in yhe background. A cute little quiet cafe off the busy highway.

Tiffany Le

Everything was decorated so nicely, and I could see all of the time and effort the owners put into this place and product. All of the pastries were laid out nicely. We had a type of ham and cheese croissant, it was flaky and delicious. I had a corn scone, and wow, it was different and amazing! It was like a corn casserole all bundled up. Definitely recommend trying this place out!!!

Blank Blank

For sure, the Bibimbap is a must!!!!! You will not be disappointed!!!! Absolutely delicious!!!! Also, had an amazing cranberry coffee crumb cake muffin. So good!!! Please, give this cafe a try, you’ll be glad you did. I am glad I did and I’ll be going back!!!

Dianne Camp

Had the turkey croissant and it was great. Croissant made there and lettuce and tomato was very fresh. Good sandwich!

Michaela Niestadt

Very clean and modern look, with lots of seating available. Pastries all seem to be baked in house and looked very nice. I grabbed 2 coconut almond biscotti which were delicious and went great with the yummy matcha latte I bought. I also grabbed a red bean bun because it looked tasty and wasn't something you'd typically find in your average cafe and it was SO GOOD. This place seems really cool, the only thing that threw me off was the slightly fishy smell when I first opened the door but that was quickly explained by their lunch menu which has quite a few Korean and other Asian dishes on it. They all looked great and I can't wait to go back and try one for lunch.

Mike Rogers

Thank you. Great soup

Amy Robertson

Excellent coffee and the sponge cake is amazing!

Tim Pickens

First time there, and it was awesome! I had spicy pork which was amazing. My wife had an egg sandwich on English muffin so how much can you really do with that? We shared a pecan tort which was also delicious. Now I'm sad I've driven by dozens of times and never stopped.

Kaelin Curtsinger

Owners and baristas are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Outside of that, it is a little pricey, but love and quality is put into everything.

Jason Witt

Great service and delicious coffee!

Haruka Sawada

Stylish cafe with decent pastries and drinks. I had bubble tea, and tasted good, but some of the bubbles were too hard to chew on. But I appreciate the existence of this cafe, because I was missing asian bakery that had some asian pastries like red bean pastry.

T.J Reynolds

Lovely little place! Just might become our " go-to" spot...

Chaotic Mother

Good food, great homemade dessert selection. Teas by the pot!

Shaysa Smith

I have been to JW Cafe twice now and I absolutely Love this place! The food is freshly made and the cafe is super cute. The way they make your order with such care is an absolute work of art. From the careful construction of a simple sandwich to the way they carefully place each piece from the baked goods into the bakery box. This is a wonderful change of pace from going out and having your food slopped together by someone who doesn't care....I mean you do eat with your eyes first. Needless to say I will definitely be going back soon. The ladies in my office were so excited by the bakery goods that I brought in because they were so pretty and tasted great as well. Also be sure to check out some of the small art pieces that they have for sale as well. So go and check out JW Cafe for yourself as you will not be disappointed.

Jaime Vance

I love it here. I work next door and eat here often. The menu is limited but everything is delicious!

Heidi Paller

Very cute, the owners are very friendly.

Rich Davidson

Odd, empty, and not very warm or comfortable. The person working the coffee magic was pleasant though.

Mitchell Halsema

great coffee and the best croissants I've ever had. great staff and modern/clean layout

PBC

A little bit of that K.town L.A. or Atlanta feel right in Louisville.

deryn joy

This was disappointing. I've only heard good things about JW, but my experience was underwhelming: the coffee was remarkably bad (latte with almond milk. I usually do this, and it was gritty and the coffee was weak and simultaneously burned). The ceiling is really high so I felt like my conversation carried across the room, and that was uncomfortable. The seating is close together as well, and I was essentially sitting next to a girl trying to study and felt bad speaking in even a quiet voice to my girlfriend across the table. The food may be good but I don't know if I feel like risking it -- despite all the positive reviews. Not sure what my order did wrong!

Lesley DePaola

My soup and salad were fantastic! I absolutely loved the baked in house pastry assortment. We will definitely be back. Perfect for lunch or a quick casual dinner.

Dajin Choi

Best croissant ever!

Wendy Weinhold

I just moved into area, and stopped in for a chai latte. It was wonderful, and the employees were nice and friendly. It does have a lot of seating area, so as I get to know people, we will have a place to meet for coffee and chatting.

Alexander Carroll

I've never had any food from the cafe, but I always have to grab of cup of their coffee if I'm going to be in the area. Seriously excellent coffee. Order a pour-over from tier 2 or 3 and be patient, because you are about taste one of the best cups of coffee you've ever had.

Ryan Conley

Relaxing atmosphere, great coffee, Amazing Bakery selection with nice people serving. What more could you ask for.

Mark McNichols

Very good food and service. Will be back.

Jamohn Mack

Good smoothies

Becca Waters

Great service! Very clean and great tasting sandwiches.

Tokyo Addicted

We asked the baker when the croissants come out and he said he would make them as early as we want them. THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! A croissant seems like a difficult thing to master, but I believe they’ve done it here. Flakey, delicate but not empty on the inside or tough. Coffee was also great! Also, there was a terribly rude customer in front of us and the cashier handled the situation perfectly. She stayed genuinely respectful and patient. This is a great family-owned business.

Sarah Carrico

I would recommend this place and definitely go out of my way to visit them again! I was extremely impressed with them. I needed coffee and wanted to support a local business. JW came up on Maps and I just went with it. No drivethru so I called to tell them I have 4 kiddos in my van and wouldnt be able to come in. The lady was very understanding and sweet! She made it so easy for me to still get my coffee! So awesome! Plus, the coffee was perfect!

Yeji Chung

It's very cute and neat! The pastries there are very good

MJ Negahdar

Delicouse cookies :)
