The Amsden

I stopped in at 8am on a Saturday. Let’s just say this little coffee stop was worth it. The coffee was good and so was the company. I chatted up the barista and enjoyed my light roast americano. The scones were also very good. When you’re done getting coffee you can browse the eclectic shop next door; or, if coffee isn’t your thing, get a bourbon two doors down. (Although probably a good idea to wait until after lunch)

Beautiful interior design, old lovely building and for sure tasty products

I found this place on accident while traveling between Louisville & Lexington. This must be the best coffee shop between these two cities. The shop is in a transformed historic building. The coffee was good, I’ll need to try some more, and the staff was friendly. Will be going back.

My daughters love this coffee shop! The store next door is a fun place to browse. Coffee drinks and pastries served

Today, for small business Saturday, my mother and I decided to drive from Cincinnati to visit the Amsden in Versailles. We arrive around 4 and began shopping. We found some cute pieces but were puzzled when two young workers turned off all the lights (without saying a word) as we were shopping. I asked one if they were closing because we had looked up the business hours before coming. The website says that it closes at 7pm. The girl said yes and quickly walked away. I pulled up the website to double check myself. The other girl came into the shopping area and I asked again if they were closing because the website hours said 7. She said “yeah my manager texted me and said to close since we have been open a long time today” and walked away. I was shocked. I asked my mother if she still wanted her items and she decided to put them all back considering the way we were treated. Little did we know, it would get worse. As we began walking out, the two girls were in the coffee area giggling and we heard them talking about us. We were both very upset, we told them to have a nice day and left. We were absolutely stunned. I have never been treated this way in any business, especially not a small business and ESPECIALLY not on Small Business Saturday. Very disappointed in the Amsden and it’s employees. We will not be returning.

A review from a 9 year old perspective:
Lavender Sparklers are my favorite!
Great muffins.
I love that it’s right down the street from the library.

Highly recommended!

Fantastic coffee. Loved the little corner Cafe.

Yesterday was a fabulous day, as usual, at the Amsden! They have the ABSOLUTE cutest items for Christmas, PLUS all their regular wonderful jewelry, clothes and home items!
I’ll definitely be back with my list and am bringing my friends!
Ps...don’t leave without getting something from the coffee shop!

Great coffee and beautiful shop. Maggie was the sweetest and most friendly barista she made the experience so wonderful! Definitely recommend this charming coffee shop!

Very thoughtful and amazing
