A fast favorite with Louisville natives, as well as the occasional tourist, Nord's is a Germantown institution known for its decadent donuts and sweet treats. Locals head here for their early morning sugar high - the bakery opens at 6a - of fresh-made donuts that fly off the shelves. Regulars swear by the maple bacon, cherry cinnamon, french fry twist, and pineapple danish. The neighborhood charm and friendly service make it an enjoyable visit, but be forewarned, lines can get long in the mornings and favorites sell out quickly.
Blue Dog is an artisan bakery located in Louisville's Crescent Hill neighborhood. Their breads are handcrafted using the best ingredients and are prepared sans preservatives. From the classic crusty baguette to rustic French country bread and chewy Italian pugliese, the bakery bakes European-style breads in time-honored technique. For those with a sweet tooth, the cinnamon buns and muffins are a treat. Brunch, lunch and light eats are served here through the day and this is a great spot for a Saturday family brunch.
