Was here for a business event, staying at the Hotel Distill and walked down to Sunergos. Such a vibe.. loved my coffee- was exactly what I needed, not commercialized.. honey vanilla latte half sweet is where it’s at 👌🏼 perfection.

I ordered an oat milk latte that was beautifully balanced and luxuriously textured — easily one of the best I’ve had in Louisville. The baristas were knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic, guiding me through the different bean varieties and helping me choose the perfect roast to take home. I especially appreciate that their beans are freshly roasted in small batches, often just days before brewing — you can taste the difference in every sip.

What a great coffee shop! We were visiting the city and made a longer walk that passed several other coffee shops to come here. So glad we did! Both of our drinks were the best lattes we’ve ever had, the drink makers were both friendly dudes, and the atmosphere was approachable hip. So glad we made the trek!

Excellent coffee with excellent staff! Small shop with a great vibe. Great music overhead with excellent conversation if you have the time. If not it’s definitely worth a visit for an independently owned local shop.

I am here for a conference and popped in because I wanted to try out at least one local coffee spot. Let me tell you I was not disappointed. It’s small but charming. I ordered a vanilla latte. Not only were the people kind but the coffee is chef's kiss. I have never had an espresso drink so smooth and non-bitter. Highly recommend stoping here if you are in the area. I’ll definitely be stopping next time I visit.

Excellent cappuccino. Perfect for craft coffee lovers who want coffee the traditional way. Walked in and ordered two traditional cappuccinos (aka 8oz and not the ginormo American sizes). Super yummy. Would absolutely come back. Tutu but accessibility friendly. Masks not required.

Perfect coffee, best option i found downtown, cool dudes :-)

If you work downtown and only have a few minutes to get a cup of coffee, this is the perfect kind of place! We are fortunate to have several good locally-based shops in the Central Business District, and this is one of the better ones. The baristas are very friendly and work quickly. It is a small space inside, so don't be intimidated by a line out the door. You will get your coffee. I've had a few different types of lattes, but their summer special, coconut, is my absolute favorite. It's going away soon to make way for fall seasonal, so I'll be there at least one more time this week. If you are looking for a place to leisurely sip coffee and get some work done, there is a table outside along 5th Street. But otherwise, this is a get-in and get-out shop, which for me on many mornings is exactly what I'm looking for.

This is a nice but small little coffee shop. No indoor seating, but a couple of tables outside. They clearly display the beans they use for their two options of brewed coffee and their espresso. I ordered the cappuccino and was very pleased to see they know what they're doing. The cappuccino was very good.

Excellent coffee. The burundi kibingo cima beans were great, wish I got more from them

Haven't even gotten to eat here because of how odd the hours are. Closed on Saturday and Sunday.

Coffee was great, the guys were fun. Funky vibe. No indoor seating but who cares- couple of tables outside and the weather was great!!

Maryam R.

The service was so good. I hope the guys family has a good trip in Florida. The coffee is phenomenal. And it's coming from a person who only likes 2 more coffee shops. Excited to try out the blondie!!

If you like your coffee like you like your women, then Sunergos is your place. Good stuff

I've officially been to all Sunergos locations, unless they decide to expand. We walked in here about 30 minutes before closing on a Friday just before World Fest. It wasn't busy. We were the only ones in there. It's a small space. Mostly for grabbing your coffee to-go. There are two small tables outside though. I can see this place getting busy, since it mostly serves the workers downtown. I ordered a 12oz iced coffee with almond milk and a pump of vanilla. Yum! Never fails. It was honestly almost $5! I support local, but I can't lie that Starbucks actually makes this same exact drink at almost half the price. I order a grande at Starbucks and it's almost $3. My sister got the guava lemonade coffee soda. A seasonal drink. It's got guava juice, fizzy lemonade, and espresso. Fantastic! I'm not sure if I'll be able to return to this location but I will most certainly be at the other locations around the city!

I'm a frequent Sunergos coffee customer because the services is quick, drinks are consistent, and they sell my favorite coffee - Cortado!

Nice surprise in Louisville. Sooo happy I didn't have to drink Starbucks. Keep it up

We stopped in for coffee and some baked goods, it was a cozy space with a lot of seating options and the service was great.

Brad M.

Coffee done right. I always love it when a coffee shop has seating. Even though Sunergos does not have seating, the coffee is great!

Candace L.

Yelp

Popped into Sunergos for a quick iced oat latte to go. Service was good! My latte was up in a flash and we were on our way. This is a tiny spot, but I'm not the sit in a coffee shop all day to mix and mingle, work or read type. I want my coffee to taste good, do it's magic and I don't require much more. If you're my local shop, know my name and order after a few visits, easy peasy! I wouldn't rule out returning in the future, in fact I'm on the hunt for every single amazing coffee shop in Louisville so please send them my way.

Walked here from our hotel in downtown Louisville and are so happy we did! Not a ton of options but we easily found something we liked. I got an oat milk cappuccino and my husband got a white chocolate latte. Delicious coffee and awesome staff...definitely tip well!

When I visit new places I love checking out the cute local coffee shops! This one had a great vibe, really lovely staff and pretty good coffee!

Jonathan B.

Sunergos is my favorite coffee weather in a shop or at home. They do a top notch job. The 5th street location is small but they are mighty. The guys there are phenomenal men filled with energy and great taste in tunes. If you need quick cup of joe this is the best place to stop in. Take their recommendations and you will leave very pleased with your choice. Drink up and enjoy.

Jackson S.

Yelp

Tiny fun coffee shop downtown! No seating inside, just a small counter top to stand at while you wait. Really friendly service and a small variety of drinks that are well-made. I had a caramel latte with an extra shot of espresso and the entire balance of the drink was perfect. I'd go back with confidence and try more things in the future at this quick & convenient location!

Chris W.

Yelp

Love the vibe, great coffee, had a pour and took a bag home. The muffins and bagels are also very good! You must try.

Megan P.

Yelp

The hot coffee at the downtown location was amazing. I never say that because I actually don't like coffee that much and generally require booze in it. I did get some chocolate in this one, but it wasn't all that sweet. So delicious, no booze required. My husband had the caramel variety and it was also super good. The employees were very nice, upbeat, friendly, cute and talented with their froth designs. I wish I lived in Louisville for this place alone.

This Sunergos Coffee location is great! I have an office downtown that's walkable to this spot, so I have visited on many occasions. This spot is small, without any seating, but if you need to enjoy your coffee inside there is a small bar near the front window where you can stand. All of my experience has been with grab-and-go orders, but that's never an issue because the baristas are super nice, really knowledgable, and always quickly prepare orders. I haven't tried much from their menu, but the items I have tried have been delicious. I really enjoy stopping here to grab iced white tea in the summer, or lattes in the colder months. Everything is always quickly and freshly prepared, so you can have a delicious beverage on the go. They also usually have a few bakery items on the counter, sometimes including bagels and/or some dessert options that they source from other local spots (like Nancy's Bagel Grounds). If you're in the area and looking for a good spot for coffee, I think this Sungergos Coffee is it!

There is always a sweet smile and kind hearted soul working here. Andrew loves the coffee and I cherish the fresh herbs in the tea! You really cannot go wrong at this location. A quick stop for those working downtown!!

Small digs, legit coffee. If you're in downtown Louisville and looking for the supreme bean and it's nectar, look no further than Sunergos - it has my PNW coffee-snob seal of approval.

Dan R.

Yelp

I'm disappointed there is no roast date on the packaging. The age of the roast on the shelf will impact my purchases. Otherwise the flavor of the Ethiopian was bright and somewhat lemon. Quite enjoyable.

Jess A.

Yelp

This downtown Sunergos is a little bitty thang in comparison to the big sprawling couch-bedecked, laptop-crowd pleasing locations elsewhere in the city. There will be no loitering here. Not because they mind loitering, rather there are just not many places to perch and hang out. However, the friendly knowledgable baristas are the same, and the coffee is consistently terrific. I'd rather come in for a cuppa here than anywhere else nearby. If only I could wedge a couch into this space, I'd be hard pressed to go back to the office.

Natalie M.

Yelp

Down for a business trip in Louisville, and had to try some local coffee! I got an 8oz butterscotch seasonal coffee, and it was a blend of a cappuccino with a whole lot of sweetness - it was delicious. I have to give this place 4 stars because there was no seats, so it's just a place to swing by and get coffee to go - it's tiny!

Leighann D.

Yelp

Friendly staff, great coffees and drinks for take away. No indoor seating, only outdoor cafe tables/chairs

Asheritah C.

Needed a cup of coffee on our way down south and stopped here. So glad! I ended up getting a Black and White mocha and it's honestly the best I've ever had.

Monica U.

Yelp

I stopped in here before a meeting and I almost fell on my way in. Watch your step. Seriously, watch your step. That said, I was welcomed into the store and shown appreciation for my grace under stumbling pressure. I had a sweet craving and ordered a chocolate chip cookie. It was a little too sweet, but it hit the spot and gave me the sugar I needed for my next meeting. If I'm in the area and have more time, I will get a drink and I won't trip on the way in.

Terri S.

Yelp

Most delicious coffee, atmosphere and service! Enjoy!! Love all of the Colombian coffee offerings. Delicious!

Andre P.

Always a treat to stop in here. Friendly staff, knows Coffee, and knows how to make a real espresso drink.

William S.

Yelp

The venue is cozy and narrow. The employees are warm and engaging. The coffee game in this town, overall, sadly is pretty weak....so to speak. The S.O. and I both had a standard drip coffee. She takes hers black. I, the snowflake that I am, dumps my fair share of sugar and cream into mine. The condiments unfortunately didn't help in the flavor department. The coffee, while rich, had a very subtle 'chickory-like' flavor to it. Yeah, yeah, I know, most coffees should have this component to it. Mebbe just my snowflake roots showing through. The locals seem to be enamored with this company's coffee. Maybe I need to order something else, instead of the standard cheapskate drip beverage. My bad. Oh....EXCUSE ME!

Team was great. Attentive. Everyone had latte art. And the coffee is worth the wait. As well with buying for home if you can even come close to the experience of Sunergos!!! Definitely a great local business with going to time and again.

Michelle W.

The barista are always friendly and draw neat designs in your coffee. I usually get the dirty chai and a Rice Krispie treat. The hey get the desserts from Please and Thank You.

Kerby S.

Today was my first time trying Sunergos and I will definitely be back! The baristas were so kind and helpful, and had great suggestions for my order. I got the honey latte with cinnamon and it was amazing!

Taylor C.

Yelp

Great coffee and kind staff! This isn't really a place to sit and study but the quality of the coffee is definitely worth a stop!

Tobias B.

Yelp

Best coffee in Louisville! I'm a Flight Attendant and travel the world and honestly have to say they make one of the best lattes I've ever had in all my travels! There latte is almost more like an Australian flat white. :-) I always look forward to coming here when I have a layover in Louisville!

Cliff J.

Yelp

I walked past this little coffee shop as I was exploring downtown Louisville. I decided to backtrack and give the shop a chance since I was out and about looking for things to do. The employee was very nice and helpful, I had her make something for me. She whipped up something with honey and it was amazing! I wish I paid more attention to what it was, but I highly recommend this shop.

Diane C.

Yelp

Small but cool spot. The coffee was amazing. The best coffee I have had in a long time!!! I will be going back. The customer service was great too, really down to earth people. Just sad there was no place to work but that is my only negative.

Courtney G.

Yelp

Cute coffee shop in the heart of downtown Louisville. Great cookies or afternoon snacks and their coffee drinks are served extremely well at their quaint and well-functioned shop. Perfect stop for the local coffee scene, and more hip than Starbucks. Most always there is a line out the door. Make sure you stop by!!

Peter H.

Yelp

Bless the guys and gals working at this place. They start my morning just right with their coffee. These guys know the goods if you ask them what they recommend. I'm meeting my deadline after getting a cup of coffee from these guys and not going over my hours after snacking on their bake goods. If you're working in downtown louisville, and need a fix of Joe, hit this place up.

Deb M.

Yelp

Excellent customer service. We had the iced mocha and a dirty chai. Both were delicious!

Brent E.

Yelp

Purveyors of the best coffee in Louisville. Period. The staff is knowledgeable and always friendly. Whether you know what you want or need a recommendation, you can count on your next cup of coffee being made perfectly with a taste that will have you looking forward to a return visit. The 5th Street location has particular charm and ambience that sets it apart from the other locations. It's cozy.

Mala E.

Yelp

Looking for a quick pick me up and Sunergos popped up. Not only was the staff super cool, my girlfriend may or may have not tripped walking out and they were both quick to help and brought out the first aid kit to take care of her. Our oat milk lattes were already stellar but their customer service was impeccable. Wish we got there names!

Emily H.

Yelp

It was early ... way too early ... when I walked into Sunergos. But you wouldn't have known that from the barista. He was happy, upbeat and eager to help. There was no tiredness or fatigue in his voice despite it being just after 6:30 in the morning. And his cheeriness helped to boost my own morning mood. The coffee I'm sure didn't hurt either. Some other perky spots from this visit: * I gave him an order that could have tripped someone up, with a vanilla latte and a non-fat vanilla latte with extra flavoring. But he was able to fill these correctly, along with my coffee. * Love Sunergos coffee. It's strong without being over roasted. * This location also has baked goods from Please & Thank You. Woot! This Sunergos is tiny, but if you need coffee in a jiffy while downtown, this is a great place to go. And considering they're open early, you can't go wrong.

Allison L.

Yelp

The line is usually out the door so that means it has to be good. Probably my favorite coffee in town. The carefree almost hippie-ish vibe of the place is cool. They always do an artistic design in each cup. Super friendly. You can also find them at the St. Matthews farmer's market on Saturday. If you have never tried Sunergos Coffee you totally should!

Jolyon R.

Yelp

There is no seating. There, that is out of the way, and it doesn't hurt to know that. On sunny days I believe they put a pair of tables on the sidewalk, but this isn't "hang out with your laptop" land. That said, the people working there were very friendly, enthusiastic about telling me what they had to offer, and the coffee is fantastic. I am/was in town for work, but back in Los Angeles where I'm from, small batch roasting type craft coffee is everywhere. I would put a cup from Sunergos against any of my spots back home, and it would hold its ground (pun intended?) with all of them, and take the prize quite a few times as well. I will be going back with a few bags of their beans for sure. Oh, and kudos to whomever designed their logo, charming and distinctive without being overly (insert adj).

Clay K.

Yelp

Very friendly! I was very glad to be warmly welcomed by the two dudes behind the bar, especially after a horrible experience at the nearby "Please & Thank You." I walked in right after a homeless man on crutches wandered in and asked to use the restroom. They were very kind and helpful to him and treated him as any other customer. He also purchased an espresso. Anyhow! Coffee was excellent both times and the vibes were good!
