    Very spacious and lovely area first area for seating. The servers were very cordial and helpful.. I love that there's an option to have an esspresso served in a demitasse cup. It gives me the Feeling that I'm allowed to linger with my book that's my book while drinking my coffee. Styrofoam or paper cups can feel rather banal at times. And their espresso's are amazing quality! Super delicious! 😋

    Chose this place for the decor. Warm tones, cozy, relaxing. That's as good as it got. Cappuccino was horrible. How do you get steamed milk to be cold? They did. How do you have the most p.o.'d barista make you feel unwelcome when you ask a simple question? He did. Outside of the beautiful black and white photos on the walls and comfortable lounge chairs, it was a big disappointment.

    Best espresso in town. Staff can help you decide your caffeine of choice. Lots of space to sit back, study, read, or chat with friends. They offer different board and card games also. Limited seating outside, with a great people watching view.

    So happy I finally gave this spot a try - they do a wonderful job with their espresso (I got the Breve latte iced and it was great!) and have all of the little items to customize your cup - Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Vanilla, Chocolate, etc. The workers are very friendly and they have a lovely and peaceful atmosphere, perfect for working/homework or catching up over coffee. They also have local artists pieces for sale and it’s such a great touch!

    To me, this place has the best ambiance and atmosphere. It's chill, and the seating is my favorite. It feels comfy. The windows are wide and clear, and you can sit idly and watch passerbys and let your mind wander. I've been coming here since at least fall 2016. They don't stay open as late as they used to, owing to the events of 2020 among other things, but it has still retained its local charm. They offer a 10% student discount, and you can do drip coffee refills for $1.

    Extraordinary place for a coffee, a meeting and even do some work. Ample space with booths, chairs, tables. Whatever you fancy. The coffee is always top quality and the temperature is always right.

    My family and I did a quick visit to Day’s Espresso & Coffee and were absolutely impressed. It has a bar type feel as you walk in and when you order they have a lot of options for flavorings, sizes, and types of coffee. We were looking for a small afternoon pick-me-up so the small coffee turned out to be the perfect size. I am sure on another day we will be back to really experience the full feel of this shop. Delicious!

    Terrific atmosphere, tasty iced Americano, scrumptious baked goods, a delicious mozzarella tomato pesto focaccia panini, a bike rack outside, and friendly baristas. This cafe offers lots of seating options with an excellent neighborhood vibe and excellent people watching potential. There are sidewalk benches outside though unshaded. Beautiful heavy stoneware on sale inside from a local artist. I'll be back no doubt.

    Cozy spot in a great location, this Highlands staple really needs no introduction. There's lots of comfy seating, both tables and big, cushy couches and chairs, the wifi is zippy, and natural light pours in through the big widows at the front of the shop. I really like that they have an 8-oz size for drinks, too :).

    Super polite staff, quick and accurate service. I will 100% be coming back here. We had their Mocha, and a "Chaider" which was a hot apple cider with chai spice. Would for sure reccomend while they have it on hand. Good prices for the drinks, and they had a small selection of pastries and small snack food.

    Days is a quaint Cafe with wooden booths and a lounge with squishy chairs and a couch. You can enjoy your favorite coffee beverage, Chai, hot chocolate, apple cider, or choice of unique beverages. Pastries like scones are available to tempt your taste buds and accompany your beverage. Enjoy the atmosphere, or work on your laptop like a number of people do. I enjoy a nice coffee house that doesn't feel or look like a school cafeteria.

    The space was nice. Cozy, lots of seating to hang out or do work (couldn’t for the life of me find the WiFi password though lol), great art on the walls but the drink itself wasn’t great. I got a butterscotch caramel latte and it didn’t taste like butterscotch or caramel and honestly, it was not even a good plain latte. I checked twice to make sure it was mine and I was just a little disappointed.

    Saw a man crossing the street from a breakfast place patio over, and noticed he went to Day's. I popped over while waiting for our food at Highlands. Cool art, pleasant staff, delish Apple cider-chai drink, scrumptious muffin with real fruit in it, with an vibe that was chill. Super glad we saw it. To the man crossing the street, I noticed a crosswalk just a few yards up you could use to cross more safely; the lights come on for cars to know to yield (the year go way too fast to risk it)!

    I met someone for coffee here. You won’t believe the number of times I’ve driven past this location but I’ve never actually been inside. Days is your comfortable neighborhood coffee shop. You order in the middle and have a variety of options in terms of coffee’s and pick up at the end of the counter. The seating is comfortable. The service is quick. It was a solid cup of coffee. I will definitely be back I’m just sad that it took me this long to actually go inside.

    The personnel were not that friendly, didn't talk or say hi or bye even was not busy. Area were clean but I was surprised compared to other local coffee places. Last time I went there was almost 4 years ago and was so good due to my collage I choose this place to study. This time was unfortunate that seems like they were not happy employee. However, the guy did a great job by making my Cuppochino with webcream on top so I attached the image. Was so awesome.

    Well done location for a date or studying windows. Coffee of the day (Cafe Au Laite) had a good taste that was smooth as well as not overpowering. Their iced lattes (Carmel) seemed sweeter than necessary. Could be the syrup used. Good pricing for your value though! Be wary of parking during busy hours.

    I am a big fan of THE Days Coffee! The employees are SUPERB (especially Cat) and the coffee and espresso are FABULOUS!!! The atmosphere is very calming and I enjoy getting my work done along with some delicious drinks! Would highly recommend.

    Best cappuccino in town! My favorite coffee in Louisville, period— both smooth & strong. Cozy neighborhood vibe, with booths in the back for long stays. ❤️

  • 5/5 Ethan P. 1 year ago on Google
    We love Day's Espresso, especially on rainy days. The staff is great, and The 10% student discount is definitely appreciated. All you have to do is ask.

    Loved my frozen mocha, such an adorable coffee shop 🥰 I also loved the memorial box they set up, allowing you to donate $ to cover cups of coffee for those who can't afford it.

  • 5/5 Manooch S. 2 years ago on Google
    Disclaimer: I don't drink coffee, so I can't review the quality of the drinks in the name of this place. That said, the atmosphere is cozy and the tea was good. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly!

  • 5/5 Scott F W. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite local coffee house!! Great espresso pull, everytime. Taking some back for the house coffee pots, Lauren's Blend is fabulous.

  • 5/5 Lisa P. 2 years ago on Google
    I had the sugar free raspberry latte. Delicious! This place has many sugar free syrups to choose from compared to other coffee shops that only have 2 or 3.
