I am trying to find a bakery that I used to order from back in the early 90′s. Used to mail order a pastry ….german kouchens. kind of like a coffee cake but came in multiple flavors….butter, cinnamon, fruit flavors. Any idea where I can find these again?
We’ve got them. Call our Shelbyville Road location, (502) 426-7736, to find out what flavors we have available. Thanks for posting.
Do you by chance carry brioche bread? I was looking for some for a dressing recipe.
We’re so sorry that we do not carry that kind of bread, and apologize for the tardiness of this reply. We hope you were able to find some and make that special dressing. Yum! Here is some more info on brioche bread:

I would love to see a full doughnut menu here. I take forever deciding and would like to decide beforehand!
Thank you for that wonderful idea. Window shopping IS fun! This website is fairly new so we’re still trying to learn the best ways to use it. Be on the lookout for a full doughnut menu in the coming months, and we’ll do our best to notify you specifically. We’ll definitely announce it on our Facebook page, so be sure and become a fan and you’ll get notified.
Do you still make the German Anise Flavor Cookies that you bake during the Christmas season? Which bakery is near I 65 and the Kentucky-Indiana Bridge? Bakery phone number?
Our sister mailed them to us for many years when we lived in Alaska.
Yes! They are called ‘Springerlies’, and are available at both of our locations. The nearest location to I-65 is our Market Street location at 428 W. Market Street (between 4th and 5th Street). The phone number there is: 502-584-2437, and a map is on this page:

Again, congratulations to everyone!
When I was a young’n We lived by St Joseph’s Infirmary and I believe you had a bakery there on Preston. This was in the 60′s. I’m trying to remember the choc pastry it wasn’t a cake or a doughnut but it was about 1.5 – 2″ high and had choc icing spread across the top. What was it and do you still make it.
You may be thinking of a ‘chocolate kuchen’. Kuchen is German for “Coffeecake”. Back than it could have been square or round.
Yes, we can still make that – please call the store and we’ll talk it over.
Thanks so much for remembering that original location. There is a picture in the archives that might bring back some memories:

Paul may also be referring to what we called “peanut rolls”. They were sold in a rectangular shape, were made with yeast & came with either white or chocolate icing with peanuts sprinkled on top. We’ve been looking for them for years. They were scored on the top so you could pull off one skinny, rectangular piece at time…although the “scoring” was covered with the fabulous icing! Your location off of , I think Preston Highway, said we could special order them. Can this deal be used there, too? Can it be used for a special order? Thanks so much for being the BEST bakery in Louisville!
Do you have a delivery service? My son just moved to Louisville and lives on Spreading Oaks Lane. He is celebrating a birthday in two weeks. I’m from Idaho and have never been to Louisville so am unfamiliar with what services are available. I’m trying to find someone who will make and delivery a birthday cake to him.
Yes, we can deliver. Give us a call at (502) 426-7736 so we can discuss the details about the cake and delivery. Thank you!
I have a son allergic to milk and am looking for a bakery that can make him a birthday cake. I was wondering if you have any dairy-free options or ideas for his party. Thanks!
All of our cakes are made with milk. Sorry about that.
My son will be 3 next month and he loves planes and i was wondering if yall could cut a sheet cake (i think that’s what it’s called) in the shape of a plane if so how much would it cost? And how long would it take?
Absolutely. Give us a call at (502) 426-7736 so we discuss size, etc. Thank you.
Do you guys make Kringle? If so, where can I get them?
i was wondering if you would be able to ship some butter kuchens out of state?
Yes, but it’s tricky because we have to freeze them. Packaging is $15.00 + UPS shipping costs. Call us at (502) 426-7736 to get started.
Thank you.
Any King Cakes?
Oh yes. Lots of king cakes.
Visiting my grandparents in Louisville in the 60′s, we would always walk to the store on Burnett and get chocolate and cinnamon pecan rolls and cinnamon and butter kuchen to take home with us. Last time I went to that store you only made butter kuchen on the weekends. Do you still have those chocolate rolls and butter kuchen, and do you make them every day? And, do you only have the “Springerlies” at Christmas time?
Kuchens and old fashion rolls are available everyday. We don’t have Springerlies now, but you can order at least 10 dozen. They freeze well.
Is there anyone in Louisville that makes kolaches?
Do you all sell loaves of bread such as italian or french? If so, are there any corn products involved (corn allergy).
Do you all make cupcakes? If so, what flavors? Thank you.
Yes, we make cupcakes. Give us a call.
What kind of cookies to you make?
Thanks!
