Red Hot Roasters

My boyfriend and I decided to swing by this morning to try for the first time. We used the drive thru window and if there's more than 3-4 cars, it would be a little tight on space. He ordered a small iced amaretto latte and I got a large lucky charms latte. We spent a little under $12 between the 2 beverages. Mine didn't necessarily taste like Lucky Charms but was delicious regardless. His choice made me envious because of how good it was. The woman who took our order also made our drinks and upon payment she didn't disclose how much would be charged to my card prior to running it so some might be discouraged by that. She was very friendly and had a great attitude. Unfortunately, this location is out of our way so we won't frequent it often and we also wanted to go around 8am but they didn't open until 9.

Took a ride out to Red Hot roasters because I was tired of the subpar coffee I was getting from nearby coffee shops in st Matthews, both local and commercial. Walked up to the drive-thru and ordered a couple of what ended up being perfectly balanced lattes. Not too sweet not too overwhelmingly coffee-y. Really rich taste, not that burnt coffee taste that I've been getting from a lot of places lately.

One wonderful woman was singlehandedly running the show when I got there. She was polite, she was quick, and overall an awesome experience.

You can tell they're a unique, local shop. And I want them to take all of my money. Can't wait to go back and try the burritos for breakfast because they sound delicious.

I got an iced Mexican mocha, a Drunken Pumpkin, and a Cinnamon Bun latte - all exceptionally better than any other lattes I've tried around town lately.

Will definitely be back.

Edited Review to 5 Stars following response from very attentive owner. I came back for another Coffee and it was very good.

Hands down my favorite coffee place in town. Love the people and the convenience of the drive through, but it’s the coffee that keeps me coming back. Dark and full bodied with no acidity. I drink my coffee black so I just don’t mess around with sub-par brews. This is the place.

Quality roasted beans. Not the sour stuff you get from most of the trendy coffee shops around Kentucky. A deep chocolatey dark roast you can enjoy all on its own.
Never disappointed.

WOW. I’ve been trying local coffee shops, and Red Hot was my sixth so far. I’ve found my new favorite. The drinks here are creative, and downright delicious. The service is great, prices are reasonable, and there is a drive-thru.

I live close and I can smell the beans are freshly roasted. The baristas are so awesome and friendly! Coffee combos they come up with that are very delicious and you can’t get anywhere else. They always have a seasonal menu that is so fun! Great prices too.

I love this place. I'm often unable to leave my apartment, and I can get 2 coffees and a huge cinnamon roll delivered for $22! That's including a $5 tip for my driver. RHR never cancels our order or hits other hiccups like a lot of places we have tried. The coffee arrives hot and the cinnamon roll is warm. Just perfect!

Great Coffee! When my family comes in they always go down and buy the cans of beans and will always want coffee from there in the mornings. They only complaint is the lack of a walk-in or causal seating area. This is a drive up only with a window. The parking and pulling in can be tight if they are busy. Just be aware and courteous when pulling through.

This place is the best local coffee shop in Louisville. They have unique seasonal specials that are always amazing. I have also started purchasing their espresso beans for home. Also try out their breakfast and lunch burritos!

Stopped by the Lexington Road location, which is now open on Sunday, and I can't say enough regarding the quality of service I received from Myra. The in-house roasted coffee is some of the best in the city. No pretense, just great coffee and great service every time I visit.

Every time I visit Louisville I stop here for one of my favorite specialty drinks: Derby Mint Julep Mocha, Cozy Cinnamon Roll Latte or Honey You Can't Handle Me Latte. Always the best lattes around !

I've been drinking coffee for over 20 years and I've had coffee from many places all around the seven continents. RHR's coffee is as good or better as any great coffee I have ever experienced, and I've had some fabulous ones. I'm so glad I found out about RHR's (through Airbnb when staying at the owners sweet rental house) while visiting KY! I will certainly be having this shipped to my neighboring state of Ohio!

I've been loyal for years and have always had good luck with kind baristas and a damn fine cup of coffee. It's walk-up/drive-thru service only, but who needs more schmucks sitting around stealing wi-fi? It's coffee done right with no shenanigans and a solid foothold in the community. The roaster is on site, so now and then you can bask in the glorious smell of roasted bean covering the smell from the Swift plant.

Love the coffee and the barista specially Ashton, she is wonder girl. If you wanted really good tasty coffee let’s go in Red Hot toaster coffee shop!! Yummy!!!

Louisville has a great coffee culture and Red Hot Roasters is tops. This location offers double duty for drive through traffic and as the roasterie and commissary for the retailer's that carry RHR coffee (Whole Foods, for example). I love supporting local businesses and am thrilled RHR has opened its first coffee shop location with counter service and seating, conveniently located on the border of Nulu and Butchetown, an easy stop for those commuting 64 (Story Exit) or down Mellwood from 71 (Zorn Exit) into downtown.

Best coffee in town! Hands down. I can even drink it black, it's that good.

We discovered RHR a few months ago and it quickly ended up in our rotation of local coffee shops we visit. I love the iced coffee and cinnamon rolls!

Family-owned, quaint. Coffee is on the darker roast side. Good variety of non-dairy creamers

Yummy coffee and great customer service! Love their monthly specialty drinks.
