Lussi Brown Coffee

Love the atmosphere and drinks here. Awesome coffee shop with great vibes. I ordered the Bees Knees(iced) and it was packed with flavor. Also highly recommend the Golden Waffle. It was so yummy. Husband ordered green tea and it was delicious. 21+ due to alcohol being served if you sit inside. Plenty of signs posted to give that info and please be prepared to show it to the nice people.

So my fiance and I spent some time trying to find a local coffee shop that we can support for a morning coffee today. We chose Lussi Brown because it looked like a nice spot to relax and they had good reviews. We brought along our 4 month old baby. Upon arrival we ordered 2 drinks and a pastry. I took our baby back to get a seat. My fiance stayed to get the drinks. One of the staff members, which looks like one of the owners, said "you, and the baby have to leave." They were getting ready to open the bar. We understand if we have to leave, but please be nice and don't be rude to your customers. Or perhaps, think about how your words and expressions can affect others. Having a bad day is understandable. We are both nurses. And we get it. But, maybe a smile, or something?? We did not see the sign out front. I am sorry if you were having a bad day, but I think customer service should be much better. Plus to top it off, our order was wrong. I specified that I would like a vanilla latte with whole milk. The barrista verified that with us but some how I got one made with oat milk, which I did not want, or like. So I paid for an order that was wrong and was asked to leave in a very short, rude manner. I obviously will not be back, nor will I recommend Lussi Brown to any of our friends and family.

Excellent coffee. I've been to practically every local coffee shop in Louisville and Lexington, so I can say with confidence that this is one of the best places to grab coffee. I don't normally get the boozy drinks; but I can say that the cold brew old fashion has a nice unique taste. My wife really loves the blood orange espresso--which I also second. And the waffles and whip of the week are also worth it. The atmosphere is very relaxed and welcoming, too. I highly recommend it.

This is a neat little place on a street all of it's own so depending on the time of day parking can be an issue. When my daughter and I walked in it has a cool first impression although very tight front of house. We ordered a Cold Chai Tea Latte and a Cafe Au Lait. The only questions we were asked was whether we wanted whole milk or something else and whether we were going to sit down. When we stated we would sit down we were asked if my daughter was 21 (she is 18) and was told she couldn't sit inside. (2:30p). This is because they serve Hard Liquors of which is a neat perk to the shop but also a bit unfriendly to anyone under 21. The team there wasn't exactly unfriendly but not exactly friendly either with no small talk even though we were the only ones at the front of the house. It does have some neat spaces as you navigate to the back as well (I had to walk back there on my own). The drinks were okay but nothing Fantastic not sure what kind of coffee is used but it isn't my favorite. I can see that this can be a cool place to grab and after drink while downtown although they close at 8p so you can't be too late. I am a coffee guy not a Hard Liquor one so that's what my rating is tied to. This could be a good fit for others

I moved to Lexington, Kentucky from the Dallas area in Texas and finding a new local coffee spot felt important to me. I've been to several coffee shops since my husband and I moved, but I can say without a doubt that Lussi Brown Coffee Bar is my favorite coffee shop to stop in. It has a wonderful, inclusive atmosphere, the staff is always friendly and helpful with recommendations, and depending on what I'm in the mood for, I can order a boozy or regular coffee. 10/10 would recommend. I tell all my Texas friends to come here when they visit. ❤️

We sadly didn’t get to experience the coffee, we were going to run to the bathroom before we waited in line and one of the workers demanded for a ID and was very aggressive and said we couldn’t use the bathroom until we bought something, which I understand and was our plan to order after we went to the bathroom. We left because she was so rude and aggressive. I’m sorry, not one to complain, I’m sure the coffee is AMAZING! But customer service is important too! :)
