Fair trade coffee. Nice ambiance. Used to be a beautiful mural inside store. Small “Miel” with oat milk & everything bagel with cream cheese was today’s delicious choices. Also, enjoy peppermint tea with lemon. Remodeled and now has a warmer ambiance.

My Iced Coffee was incredible, and I loved it!!! However, my scone was rock hard and didn't taste very good. It was a big letdown. My morning coffee and treat is the way I start my day, so I prefer it to be right All and all, this could have been worse, but it could have been better.

Starbucks like atmosphere but with better coffee. Limited menu on display, but I was able to find a full menu on Google maps, complete with descriptions. Got the decaf vanilla iceberg, amazing. Not too sweet, good coffee flavour

Heine Brothers is my go to coffee shop. I love that it's a local business, and the staff is always super friendly. Ordering ahead in the app is great, and allows me to pick up in the store or drive thru. Sometimes the drive thru is backed up on busy mornings, but it's worth the wait whenever I can spare a few extra minutes. My favorites are their chai tea lattes, frozen hot chocolates, cherry almond scones, and muffins.

Great customer service. I was at Gardiner Lane this morning (3/17 around 9 AM) and there was a young person with locs, with a teal hoodie on, working the drive thru. I was having a horrible day and the customer service provided really brightened it. I wish I remembered their name because they deserved to be recognized for truly going above and beyond and making my day brighter.

I had to kill some time while waiting for my Tesla to charge (across the street), and Heine's was the perfect place to go! A very clean coffeeshop with plenty of sitting areas to do work and enjoy a pastry.

Welcome to Heine Brothers Coffee at the Gardiner Lane Shopping Center, a shining gem in Louisville's thriving coffee culture! Nestled at 3060 Bardstown Rd, Louisville, KY, this local favorite has become a go-to spot for coffee enthusiasts looking for a delightful experience.

Striving for quality and sustainability, Heine Brothers offers fair trade coffee that satisfies both palate and conscience. The ambiance of this café has evolved—recent renovations have transformed it into a warm and inviting space, ideal for both casual meet-ups and solitary coffee sips. As customer Melanie Rudolph noted, the café's aesthetic was enhanced by a beautiful mural, adding to the charm, though some whispers of nostalgia linger around its absence.

When it comes to the menu, Heine Brothers does not disappoint. Many patrons, including the enthusiastic Kylee Brielle, rave about their chai tea lattes, frozen hot chocolates, and the ever-popular cherry almond scones. The “Miel” with oat milk, along with a classic everything bagel, is a standout combination, perfect for those looking for a light breakfast or snack. In addition, True Thornicroft’s recommendation of the decaf vanilla iceberg showcases the variety that caters to everyone—whether you're a caffeine lover or prefer a soothing decaf option.

However, not all experiences are flawless. One customer mentioned disappointment with a hard scone that marred an otherwise delightful iced coffee. While imperfections can arise, the positive sentiments about the coffee itself shine through, reinforcing that this place has a lot to love. Friendly staff and fast service, particularly with the convenience of ordering through the app, make each visit more enjoyable. Frankie Z. sums it up perfectly by emphasizing the freshness and flavor of the coffee, coupled with a warm welcome that is a staple at Heine Brothers.
