Cake Flour
(2420 Lime Kiln Lane, 425-0130,
cakefourbakery.com)
After an abrupt move from NuLu to Lime
Kiln Lane, Cake Flour continues to fourish.
It's known for excellent sweets, with the
option to order without — without gluten,
without dairy, without nuts, without soy
and without animal products. Cake Flour
now offers croissant sandwiches, soups
and espresso. Highly recommended:
the salted caramel cupcakes and the
chocolate ganache tarts, best eaten in
conjunction with the sorghum bun latte.
Napa River Grill
(1211 Herr Lane, 423-5822,
,napariverlouisville.com)
One word: brunch. Apple-crisp pancakes,
grilled salmon on wild rice, pecan tartlets,
smoked-chicken salad. Varieties of French
toast rotate each week, from strawberry-
banana to chocolate-amaretto. The
perfect place for Mother's Day brunch,
one that will even please your mother-in-
law. You're welcome.
Yafa Cafe
(22 Theater Square off South Fourth
Street, 561-0222, yafacafelouisville.com)
Far from the hookah/smoke shop
explosion on Bardstown Road (what's
going on with that?), Yafa Cafe is the
epitome of chill, downtown dining on a
spring night. We recommend the vanilla-
mint hookah, followed by cool yogurt
salad and a falafel plate.
Captain's Quarters
Riverside Grille
(5700 Captain's Quarters Road, 228-1651,
cqriverside.com)
The secret to enjoying Captain's Quarters
is the secret to enjoying a Jimmy Buffet
song: Don't take yourself too seriously;
just relax and let it happen. Sit on the
deck, drink a margarita, listen to the often-
raucous live music and people-watch.
Outdoor live music Thursday through
Sunday starts May 24. Also: A weekly
"Sunday Funday" party until 2 a.m., with a
DJ set up in the outdoor bar.
