Phalcha Coffee is open in Louisville’s Germantown

Phalcha Coffee opened in Germantown earlier this month

In Newari, an indigienous language from Nepal, phalcha means, “resting place.”

In case you missed it, LOUtoday is asking our readers to help determine Louisville’s best coffee shop. Today, though, we’ve got a spot that was just a bit too new to brew its way into the field this time around.

Phalcha Coffee held its grand opening over the weekend at 1001 Mary St. in Germantown.

Here are a few things to try:

  • Phalcha offers typical warm coffee drinks, like cortados, macchiatos, and cappucinos.
  • The iced coffee flight features matcha, butterscotch, ube and strawberry-rose lattes.
  • The food menu includes avocado toast, a grilled cheese sandwich, and waffles served with syrup or other sweet toppings like fruit + nutella.
  • Rather than warm up with a cup of joe, you can cool off with ice cream — there are five flavors, sold by the scoop.

Phalcha Coffee is open daily, 7 a.m.-7 p.m.
