Espresso, bourbon-smoked sugar, and peppermint? Yes, please!
Those are some of the ingredients in the award-winning dessert combination from our Vint location – an Espresso Pecan scone and our iced Vint Julep (made with bourbon-smoked & mint sugars from local Bourbon Barrel Foods).
Vint has been competing in the Taste of Frankfort Avenue event since 2010, which just celebrated it’s 25 year anniversary this year. When the Vint barista team competed in the People’s Choice contest this year, their original iced Vint Julep latte was voted “Best Dessert”! With samples from more than 25 bars and restaurants — including Bourbons Bistro, Varanese, Volaré and the Italian Table – our signature drink had some stiff competition.
The Vint Julep is made using the Heine Brothers’ Coffee organic and fair trade espresso, steamed milk and Bourbon Barrel Food’s smoked sugars – a local business that uses bourbon barrels to smoke and infuse the sugars, as well as cooking spices, soy sauce, and other foods.
The scones are made by our local food partner Najla – a women-run business that uses natural & sustainable ingredients.
The Vint Julep can be ordered at our stores hot or iced, and the Espresso Pecan scones also pair well with any of our single origin coffees or specialty teas.

Impact is one of Heine Brothers’ core values – with every decision we make, we look at how it will impact our community. When we partnered with WDRB to distribute Eclipse glasses for this year’s big event, we knew that we didn’t just want to sell them, we wanted to make a positive impact in the community.

MK Eagle wants you to get lit – at the library!
MK, the Programs Supervisor at the Louisville Free Public Library, sat down and talked to us about the library’s Get Lit® Lou (Get Literary Louisville!) program going on through the end of February.
The program is a throwback to the Summer Reading Programs of your grade school days – but for adults. Aimed at encouraging young adults to get back in touch with their inner bibliophile, and rediscover the library, Get Lit® Lou gives you digital badges and the chance to win great prizes for reading books and attending library programs.

It would be hard not to notice the sleek, bright orange and black Copper & Kings sign that rises above their distillery when you’re driving down Story Avenue. Located in the middle of Butchertown’s growing community of local and small businesses, Copper & Kings is often also at the center of promoting that community and organizing neighborhood events.
Copper & Kings is primarily known for their brandy and absinthe, but equally as delicious is their non-alcoholic Butchertown Soda. You can find the Louisville-made craft sodas in the cold case at any of our stores.
While Butchertown Sodas have recognizable flavors, they are preservative-free, and use organic cane sugar and other high-quality ingredients that make them less syrupy, and more natural tasting than the average soft drink.

Reading and coffee are better together! That’s why we’re getting lit – literature from the library, that is.
We’re kicking off Get Lit Louisville with the Louisville Free Public Library by including a reading list of our Baristas’ favorite books that you can check out from the library and enjoy all winter:
