Well this is exciting news. Over on the Louisville HotBytes forum there is a post by Patrick Whelan describing a new location of Java Brewing Company that is coming to Bardstown Road.
In December we plan to open a new JBC on Bardstown Rd across from the old Cafe Metro at the location where Reiserts Insurance stood for decades.
How exciting! Another great, independent coffee option in the Highlands is a very good thing. And since it’s a good walking distance for me (not too short, not too far) I look forward to the walk down there for an eggnog latte in December. If I walk to get it and then walk home then it totally doesn’t count.
I know this is just a crazy dream but it would be awesome if they had a walkup window. I’m sure I’m not the only crazy dog person who is too paranoid to leave my dog outside while I get my latte…

I was thinking of the walk-up window even before you mentioned it. Maybe someone at Java will take the hint.
I have the same problem when walking my dog. Our walks frequently take us by two Heine Bros. shops (Eastern Pkwy. and Longest), but I am frequently unable to get a “cuppa joe” because of the dog. I am not even that reluctant to leave him outside, but sometimes you can’t do that because of people or other dogs outside.
The old Rally’s on Bardstown got a lot of grief as not being pedestrian “friendly,” but it did have a walk-up window. I miss being able to do that. Is there any other site on Bardstown or in the area where there is a walk-up option?

Michelle,
You likely don’t know this but I work for Java now, the ones who are opening the Highlands location. (Some are owned by others, ours is owned by the original Java folks). Anyway, the one where I work has an enclosed patio, so on my second day I stashed a bag of dog treats under the counter. I have regulars now (including a hairless terrier). I love you’re idea of a walk up window and will surely talk to the owners about it today.

Hey Laura, good to hear from you! I didn’t know you were working for Java now. It would be so very awesome if you could put in the good word about a walkup counter at the new Highlands location.

I live right around the corner from the new location and would also love a walk up window!! I too like to walk my dogs in that area but end up not being able to make purchases because I won’t leave them alone outside.

Hi Michelle,
I did speak to the owner today and he says that the owners had thought about it, just weren’t sure how to do it. They realize it would be a good thing. I’ve put in a word for managing that store when it opens, but I’ve gotten a little spoiled only working part-time for the last year.
Hope that all is well with you and B, and be sure to give Gracie a pat for me.
