Adorable, quaint little store with delicious and beautifully crafted desserts. They have truffles, chocolate covered bananas, mini cakes, cheesecakes, coffee drinks, chocolates, and are coming out with gelato. The owner is so sweet and passionate about her mission to provide vegan, raw, organic, and delicious desserts. Everything she uses, from the utensils to her ingredients, are all ethically sourced and clean. This is a wonderful new spot that I highly recommended!

My mother is lactose intolerant, so eating desserts at restaurants is risky business at best. We decided to try Rawnaissance, and werwe so happy we did! Everything was delicious! And it was awesome to see my mom's delight; she's never been able to safely order anything she wanted off a dessert menu before. So if there's anyone in your life with gluten, lactose or egg sensitivities, you have to bring them here! You can get large slices of cake or pie or smaller versions of the same desserts at the counter. We opted for 4 little samplers: triple chocolate, peanut butter chocolate, red velvet and vanilla chocolate swirl. All of them had the flavors you would expect (in a very good way), except the red velvet, which was more creamy with a hint of coconut than red velvet-y. That was fine by us, however. It was quite tasty

In extraordinary times, there are some who do it right and make us proud to be going through difficult time with them and Rawnaissance Desserts is doing everything right. They are following the guidelines to protect themselves and others, serving as an example for others to follow. And their desserts are wonderful - tonight it was the key lime pie. They don't disappoint! Thank you for being there and doing what you do so well! Parking is easy. Service is fast, friendly, and appropriate given the times and conditions of these extraordinary times. Great food, great ingredients, and great people. I am not a vegan or a vegetarian. I eat what I like or with a purpose (e.g., lose weight). I’m on a Keto diet (for my wife), but I like sweets so - Rawnaissance! This place should be every healthy eater’s go-to desert place. There are a ton of great choices and though the taste and texture is a little different, sweets are sweet and this stuff is good. I’ve tried the Keto cheesecakes- raspberry lemon and the vanilla - and Keto gelato - dreamsicle and the vanilla chocolate and macadamia nut. This is truly guilt-free dessert, good for you, good for the environment, good to eat and great to look at. Easily the best (healthiest) dessert I think I’ve ever had, and the vanilla chocolate and macadamia nut gelato took care of my chocolate craving and was filling. The store itself is very well set up, very colorful and groovy. There are tables inside and out. It’s right on Bardstown Road next to a fitness place. You can work out and then eat right while watching weird happen all around you. It’s a fun place to eat. Service was great. It is definitely a neighborhood store with genuine knowledgeable people doing a good job carving out their niche. Parking is available on the street, there’s a small lot next door, and large lot just down the street at a church. Would I go here for dessert if I wasn’t on a diet? I wouldn’t have before, but I will now. I like trying new stuff and there is a lot here to try. It’s also very good!

Amazing place for some sweet treats, whether or not you have dietary restrictions! They have an array of options for everyone. I had a piece of keto marbled chocolate cake and it was the best keto dessert I've ever had. Also had the keto gelato, which is the best gelato I've had PERIOD. Highly recommend this place to anyone who's got a sweet tooth.

This specialty dessert shop offers a large selection of gelato including hazelnut chocolate with orange zest which I highly recommend. They also offer small batch chocolate bars, cakes, pies, and chocolate drinks. Very friendly staff. Seating is limited inside but there is some sidewalk seating which makes for excellent neighborhood people watching.

In town with daughter and wanted to find vegan desserts after dinner. This place fit the bill and exceeded our expectations. We tried both the peanut butter & chocolate slice and the triple chocolate slices. Both were delicious! My daughter was so excited to find a place with diary free and soy free desserts. The service was good and we loved the way the shop set up a sanitizer station outside of the shop with sanitizer and masks for the customers. We will definitely come back when we are in town.

Everything I’ve ever had here is amazing. Last we tried was the triple chocolate cake and I think it’s my new favorite! I order these cakes for every occasion, and even maybe make up some occasions for cake these days!

What a lovely place! This hidden gem is just what Louisville needs! My husband and I finally ventured over to Rawnaissance for dessert after dinner one evening and we already can't wait to go back. I have previously tried the chocolates created by the owner but had yet to try any other dessert. We were greeted by Carrie who was friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable. We tried the bourbon and cherries chocolate cake and it was delicious! No wonder it was the last slice in the case! This is uncomparable to any other vegan dessert. The consistency is smooth and the flavor is wonderfully rich! Many vegan desserts are gritty or taste very processed, but not at Rawnaissance. No matter what your dietary habits, everyone should give this place a try!

DELICIOUS! And I don't mean "for a raw vegan dessert" I mean delicious *period* You can't tell stuff is raw & vegan & gluten free & corn free & & &... Oh, and the portions are HUGE.

Best dessert I’ve had in a really long time. No questions asked. I have dietary restrictions and this was amazing for me. My husband doesn’t, he loves ice cream, and was really impressed at how much better his banana split was than any other he’s ever had. My pictures do not do the ice cream justice. The presentation was so awesome

Great desserts for my wife with lymes.

We are officially regulars of Rawnassance. We eat a plant-based diet and this place is fantastic for occasional indulgent treats. My favorite, so far, is the caramel chocolate pie. My husband has even ventured away from his peanut butter to try Barbara’s other delicious offerings. Today, he enjoyed the triple chocolate, pictured with this review. Since the owner has incorporated more keto options, these often take up her fruity choices. I’ve not tried those since they went keto. Her regular raspberry absolutely popped with flavor. Their coffee roaster is one of my favorite. Yes, prices are higher than some other dessert places but the consistent quality, organic, gluten-free, unique rawness and superb ingredients while still looking pretty make this a great option for a nice dessert. BTW: ‘ice cream’ and chocolates are delicious.

Finally, cakes my mom can eat that taste good! It's worth a visit if you have allergies. Personally recommend the Italian staccato, which we like the most. Has a similar texture and flavor to cookie dough.

This place seriously blows my mind every time I go! So many wonderful creations to choose from, and you can't go wrong with any of em!

Absolutely best bakery ever!! Tastiest gelato that you can’t go wrong with!! Every flavor I tried was creamy, rich and perfectly sweetened. The keto cakes are also amazing, lemon and raspberry, lemon and blueberry, berries and cream, and tiramisu were all flavors that I tried and loved! Went with my boyfriend and his family and we thought it was the highlight of our trip. I have a lot of GI issues so it’s so refreshing and exciting to have a go-to pick me up place for delicious treats that you can’t find anywhere else.

Charming dessert shop where the desserts are pretty as well as delicious and healthy. Generous portions satisfy that sweet tooth for sure. The staff are friendly and helpful. We will be visiting again soon.

Absolutely one of our favorite places!! Cannot say enough about the lovely staff, and of course the dessert is amazing! We travel from an hour away to visit and are never disappointed 😊

Bought chocolate pie last Sunday and both my son and I were very sick. First stomach ache I've had in years. Son could not finish his slice but unfortunate for me I finished it before feeling the pain and later constipation.

DELICIOUS gelato in a yummy cone and equally delicious small dessert cups! The staff were extremely kind and helpful. I'm so happy this place exists! It's impossible to find organic desserts let alone gluten free, raw, and non-GMO in this area. I will continue to be a repeat customer and really hope it stays in business because it's so amazing and needed! Come try for yourself!!!

I absolutely love this place! I found out about it through being a doordash driver. I am so glad I checked it out! I had a golden mylk latte and it was amazing.. the cheesecake was out of this world as well. I’ve tried so many flavors! It’s a hard tie between dreamcicle and lavender for me. So flavorful and satisfying. I have definitely driven my family and friends nuts constantly recommending this place, I’m sure. If I could give A MILLION stars I would!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

LOVE! Rawnissance is spectacular, delicious, melt in your mouth, FANTASTIC! I am grateful for all of the raw, vegan, organic, gluten free, and dairy free options. Peanut Butter Chocolate is my favorite!

So many delicious treats!! Went for my birthday and my husband and I bought two different slices and both were SO amazing!! Most definitely worth the price! Quality ingredients and amazing taste usually equal a higher price, and this place is WORTH it!!

This is by far the best vegan gluten free dessert cake I've had. It wasn't that expensive either! The cakes are super rich with a velvety texture and multiple great flavor combinations. They offer slices, small and large cake sizes for purchase. They also have a very large menu of other desserts too! I will go here for all my desserts from now on!!!

Amazing! I had heard good things but I was blown away by the flavors that Rawnaissance is able to put out. The Dreamsicle cake was more than I could have hoped for and captured the whole “summer’s sunny afternoon” feel perfectly. The dark raspberry cake had a smooth texture & stayed true to RAW flavors. I am excited to try their gelato once it get warmer

Literally the best cheesecake I've ever had in my entire life. Absolutely unbelievable.
