Fresh Coffee, Pastries & More

Our lunch was very good. The ham and cheese sandwich was my favorite. The perfect blend of cheese, bread and meat. The bread is not simple white or wheat, but an interesting herby bread that adds to the experience. The tomato soup was an excellent pair

I highly recommend.

A lovely nook and great first stop if you're driving in early for a day exploring Bardstown. We read about this place in "Kentucky Bourbon Country" and we're intrigued and entertained by the name, since in print it looks like the place is literally called "fresh coffee." We like it.

Feedback for Fresh: Sadly, I did not try one of the specialty coffees because I didn't see them listed inside, only outside as I was walking out. I don't know if this is my mistake or the specialty coffees really aren't listed indoors.

The 49ers fan barista behind the counter was so friendly and pleasant it made my day. Just as importantly though, the espresso this place serves is incredible. I grew up in New York and lived in Seattle for years so I like to think I have a pretty high expectations when it comes to coffee, and this was some of the best I’ve tried in recent memory. If I’m ever in the area again there’s a 100% chance I’ll come back here! In fact, I’ll probably go out of my way to make a return trip.

The best little coffee stop in town!!
Excellent coffee. Pastries are delicious. I love the breakfast bagels. And the homemade soups are amazing!
The staff are always so friendly.. always with a family welcome.
I love Fresh!

We were so disappointed. 2 pour overs took 30 minutes and tasted like water. Meanwhile about a dozen people got their coffee who ordered after us. What a waste of time and rip off. And my father ordered a pour over and got a daily brew coffee.

This place needs more staff and people who know what they’re doing not a couple of high schoolers running around.

This is a great coffee place downtown Bardstown. The metal chairs are not as comfortable if you are planning on staying for a while, but there are other seating areas.
Coffee and pastries are delicious. I always go back.

Small town charm and friendly smiles with a eye opening wake me up americano! Amazing place very cool vibe.

Everything you want in your coffee shop! Pastries, relaxing atmosphere and solid coffee. Loved it!

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff, but the place could use soft music. Without music it seems more like a library or museum and is a bit awkward. Got a cold brew and asked for a "little cream" and it came out majority cream. Should have taken it back but they were really busy with lunch rush. The BBQ pork sandwich was really good though. I will come back and try a different drink.

Employees are always super helpful and sweet, pastries are amazing, coffee is fantastic. And I love the atmosphere.
