Day's Espresso & Coffee Bar

When I first moved to Louisville many years ago Day’s was the first coffee shop I fell in love with. It was comfortable, with wooden booths great for stretching out and studying in. The music selections could have come straight from one of my college era mix CDs including R.E.M., the Indigo Girls, Patty Griffin and James Taylor. The frequently changed art on the walls made me feel grown up and Day’s made the first really great cappuccino I ever had. I thought it was the coolest place in town.

Not much has changed at Day’s even after all these years. The booths are still really comfortable, the music is still fantastic and could come from one of my current iPod playlists including the Indigo Girls (still), Cat Power, John Mayer, and a slew of other WFPK favorites. Great art is still featured and they still make a really excellent cappuccino. My standards for coffee shops really aren’t that high. Give me friendly people (or at least non-surly ones), comfortable tables, good music, good cappuccino, free wifi and I’m pleased. Well ok, perhaps my standards are a little high but Day’s meets my needs and almost always surpasses my expectations.
