Only 20 minutes from downtown Louisville, Oldham County is a perfect destination for a summer day trip. We reached out to the experts — Oldham County residents — for recommendations and were overwhelmed by the many enthusiastic responses. Here are some favorite stops to add to your itinerary.
For a great start to your day, stop at Dough Baby Donuts, just a couple of blocks from Main Street in La Grange. This third-generation family business was started 20 years ago here in its current location. Owner Spencer Mills recalls his grandfather referring to the rising bundles of dough as “dough babies.” I tried the glazed cake donut and snagged a sprinkle-covered donut for my granddaughters.
La Grange Coffee Roasters is a family-owned and -operated business specializing in artisan-roasted specialty coffees from around the world, with everything roasted in-house by master roaster Landen Cockrell. Owners Chris and Lea Cockrell started their business as home roasters, gradually evolving from farmers market sales in 2008 to opening in their current location at 110 East Main in 2014. With indoor and outdoor seating, this is a great summer spot to grab a specialty coffee drink with a made-from-scratch scone.
