North Lime Coffee & Donuts - Old Lou

I really, really hate to leave a 2 start review because I really like the donuts and coffee here. However, my experiences here have for the most part have been fairly poor. It seems like every time that I go in, there is some sort of issue. Whether it takes 20 minutes to order with only one or two people head (this morning was a prime example of that), whether the card reader/tap to pay is down, or unaccepting of cash it seems that there are far more issues than I have successful trips. I've had to leave empty handed on several occasions empty handed because of the tap to pay being down and not advertised. I realize that I'm accountable for this as well, but due to the nature of my job I don't carry cards/cash. As stated, I hate leaving just a 2 start review, as I really enjoy the coffee and donuts and even the building, but the service I've continued to have here has been repeatedly been poor. I think this will be the last time I attempt to come.

Great service and products on my visit today! I had a student with me who has a hard time making choices, and the employee working described all the donuts for him and patiently waited while we figured out our order. We were both also happy to see a pride flag displayed behind the counter. I'll definitely be back! ❤️

The staff at North Lime in Old Louisville were so helpful when I called ahead to try to figure out a gluten free donut option for a Saturday brunch birthday party. The donuts are delicious and look great and the staff were so very kind. Thank you!

The cinnamon roll was very good. Coffee tasted pretty good too. About $4 for the roll

They have the best coffee here and I like the donuts. They don't sell regular donuts though. All the donuts seem to be different variations cake donuts. They do a special donut every day and those are always fun and amazing. I'm totally in love with the decor and the atmosphere of this place. It's a great place with friendly staff.

Very friendly staff! The donuts are amazing! I recommend the funnel cake donut!

My favorite early morning hangout. North Lime is a fantastic place to grab coffee and delicious GIANT donuts with friends, or just yourself in my case 😁.
Friendly staff, good coffee, nice tea selection. The espresso drinks are hit or miss for me, but that hasn't stopped the glazy goodness of North Lime from reaching deep down into my heart. And arteries. ❤️

Very good donuts but the drinks need some serious work. Get your coffee somewhere else, even the drip has issues…

If I didn't work in a building next to them, I'd probably never get there. The staff has been friendly, yet slightly overwhelmed, the couple of times I've been. The building doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside has a funky, industrial vibe and is quite nice. Be ready for a wait, especially early in the morning. The plain glazed & chocolate frosted donuts are my favorites so far. The funnel cake donut was a little heavy & slightly greasy. Haven't tried their beverages yet, but I suspect they're decent.

I’m in Louisville for a bit for work and was looking for a great small business coffee shop! I think I’ve definitely found it in Northern Lime! Their donuts are some of the best I’ve ever had and their coffee is amazing as well! Their staff is friendly and they have a fun environment in the shop as well. The first time I came I placed a mobile order and did not realize that it was almost closing time. Nevertheless the staff was still friendly and cheerful and didn’t seem to mind making my order about five minutes to closing at all! I would highly recommend going and they definitely earns a great tip every time as well!
