“Leestown is a locally owned coffee shop with the best coffee in town! Not only are all the workers great, but the drinks are delicious & unique. We love their drive-through option so I'm able to grab a coffee on the way to work! Definitely a must-try coffee spot in Lexington.“

“Wow!! So good! My friend had the crepe and I tried a strawberry pancake cup. They’re very generous with sauce. I love sweet stuff so it was right up my alley. Fruit was fresh and batter was light and fluffy. Might be my new fav dessert place ? Only not 5 stars because of price… if you build your own you have to pay per topping. Cute atmosphere!“

“Was here yesterday and wanted to make it my "home base". They're only open until 2 but the atmosphere, vibes, art, staff, are completely ON POINT. Seriously I am a YouTuber and being there inspired me to make a "Life is Strange" episode, the atmosphere is exactly like the first game where you just let it sit and vibe out the montage for a while. IYKYK“

“Cozy, beautiful cafe that serves coffee, tea, smoothies, wine and beer. They also serve pastry items but I only got coffee on this trip. I love the chandeliers! This was a great spot to get some work done.

I got the dirty chai with oat milk. It was good and reasonably priced.

The service was good and fast. He recommended the Daou wine. Unfortunately, I had to work.“

“Really like this place! Coffee was great and the barista was very flexible and making me the drink that I wanted. Seems like a fun place if you also want to just mix a little boozy coffee into your life as well. I didn’t try but the selections look amazing. Seems like a very inclusive and welcoming environment as well.“

“I love to try local and this one didn’t disappoint. Lots of selections and an amazing crew with great recommendations.“

“We are so glad to have Olive’s Apron in our neighborhood! I love walking down to the shop and hanging out in the “couch room” with my kids. It is so cozy and cute with plenty of unique games for the little ones to enjoy. I have always felt welcomed. Also the smell when you walk through the door is divine! We have been big fans of the biscuits and various treats for awhile, but have not visited as much recently due to some dietary restrictions for our family. I contacted them about creating two custom dye-free birthday sets for my children and they were so wonderful to work with! Ashley sourced natural dyes for our order per my recommendations as it is not something they keep on hand and charged me only an extra $5 to do so. The cakes came out beautiful, more vibrant than expected, and were so delicious! They were perfect and we had two very happy birthday kids! Thank you so much Ashley, Peggy, and the rest of the Olive’s Apron team. We appreciate you!“

“I love this coffee shop! I live about 20 minutes away near many other coffee shops but I’ll drive out of my way to come here! They have by far the best breakfast burrito of any other place I’ve tried in Lex! It’s so delicious! I’ve only gotten iced coffee so far so I can’t comment on the hot coffee but I always get either an iced coconut mocha or an iced blackberry mocha and both are so good! The staff are always really friendly and welcoming! The only thing I’d change is their ambiance inside, I think the tables and chairs could use some upgrading for comfortability but I don’t go to coffee shops for the chairs I go for the coffee so that’s not nearly reason enough for me to stop making the drive here! 10/10!“

“Our first visit will not be our last! This place wowed all 6 of us! We purposely ordered different things and everything was fantastic! Especially the service! Super friendly and helpful to the newbys! Looking forward to another visit!“

“Great coffee , great atmosphere“

“Cute little hut in the Kroger parking lot. I got a mango protein smoothie and it was delicious. The barista was so friendly and amicable and did a great job. I really like the drinks here and appreciate the service. Would definitely recommend!

Parking: You don’t really need to park here- it’s just a kiosk and you go through the drive through.“

“the staff is amazing-efficient-polite and ms. pat in the hat is delightful-my faavorite loitering area on third street on my way to and from the central library. cool bulletin board-free stuff box-delicious and inexpensive bagel with jalepeno cream cheese....less than 4 bucks....i could write a short story about how coo #thirdstreetstuff is“

“I've had boba all over the country over the last 20 years, and this boba shop is definitely in the top 10% of all boba shops. I love all the creative options, like the yogurt freezes with fruit and the unique jellies and bobas.

Parking: Lots of free parking

Kid-friendliness: Fun atmosphere, cute, with claw machines to play“

“Delicious! I got an iced s'mores coffee and it was super good, my husband got a hot peanut butter cup coffee and it was even better!
The ladies working were very friendly and the atmosphere was cool.
Can't wait to come back and try their sipping chocolates :)“

“Really really good coffee, I would have it again but I’m not sure about the food, our order was messed up and some parts missing like an entire side of eggs and bacon, also had no whipped cream in our crepes and the “crepes” are just rolled pancakes. The food was indeed delicious but very different from what we ordered. But I would def still go back for the drinks alone. I got the Iced Chocolate Coffee and it was amazing. They were also super accommodating and gave us a free pancake because they were out of something else, if you go later in the day I think it’d definitely be worth a try“

“Great staff at this Myrtle Beach location. The GM Thomas was super friendly and the food was absolutely outstanding!!“

“Great place for quick coffee or to relax, work or shop. Lots of selections and decent price on the coffee. Food, imo, is overpriced for what and the amount you get and not much selection either. It also has a trendy little store attached w some consignment like clothes, candles and coffee
accessories. Idk what the prices are though on any of that stuff.“

“Getting in to the Starbucks was NOT easy, but totally worth it! The drinks were spectacular! Service was quick and friendly and made our drinks so good!I'd definitely come back to this one (especially now that I know how to get into the parking lot... LOL)“

“Well located and very clean plus very professional employees! Lots of social distancing inside and out!“

“Always great service and a clean environment!! ❤️❤️“

“I recently visited Parlor Donuts and was thoroughly impressed by the outstanding service provided by one of their employees, Brayden. From the moment I walked into the shop, Brayden’s professionalism and dedication to customer service were evident. His exemplary conduct not only enhanced my experience but also underscored the high standards Parlor Donuts upholds.

Brayden’s approach to customer interactions was remarkable. Despite the lighthearted nature of my jokes—most of which I must admit were not particularly amusing—Brayden responded with genuine laughter and warmth. His ability to engage with humor and positivity, even when the humor fell flat, showcased his exceptional interpersonal skills. This approach created an inviting atmosphere and made my visit truly enjoyable.“

“This is one of my favorite Starbucks. The service is always fast and friendly. The restrooms are very clean. They always have every menu item and never tell you they are out of anything. They are willing to make a specialty drink however you want it. I love the service and people here.Follow us for more great reviews ™“

“A small but complete Starbucks tucked away inside a Kroger store. It's a busy Kroger, so parking is not super easy. There aren't enough tables, so it is mainly a take out or drink while you shop operation. They can check out your groceries for you if you don't have many and are grabbing a coffee on the way out.“

“La Petite Délicat is our go-to spot for French pastries and desserts in Lexington! They also offer signature latte and tea drinks and we absolutely love their macarons! We highly recommend you visit them soon!“

“Great service, especially the young man Nick ! Highly recommend ,this Starbucks is by far the best in Lexington!“

“Our favorite place! So much we dressed up as our favorite drink.“

“My Order Is Always Correct!! The Food And Drinks Are Hot And Yummy!! The Employees That See Me Regularly Remember My Name And Help Me In Any Way They Can!! I Have No Complaints!! I Would Recommend This Starbucks!!“

“I’m not sure why this Starbucks is only 3.9 stars but this Starbucks is the best one that I have ever went to. They have ALWAYS made me want to come back and no other store, no other restaurants, or groceries shops could EVER match the energy this Starbucks brings every morning. They are the most polite group of people and when I walk in I’m welcomed BY NAME and the staff makes conversation while I wait on my mobile order. I have literally almost 800 reward stars and All of them were earned only coming to this specific Starbucks. I have never been around such an amazing and welling working team of people. I have never been employed somewhere that brought this kind of energy. I will forever apply my loyalty to this Starbucks!!“

“Was going through Lexington to see my family and this place caught my eye, curiousity killed the cat, had to see what it was about.. Very friendly staff and plenty of cool things to buy. Loved the candles and drip recipes.. Ower was a very beautiful lady who was extremely polite and helped me with choosing frim the menu. When it go back I would love to try their different varieties of their tea. Thanks again ladys ??“

“Thanks for the Pup Cups!!!“

“So as we all sit here in Pandemic 2020 our Starbucks are closing left and right. The summit location is one of the last men standing! Today we sat in line, about 30 mins, they were CRAZY busy and got to the window and the employees were just the sweetest, happiest, kindest people! These people have to be exhausted, they are run off their feet, and yet in approximately a minute a customer, they are dealing out our happy with a smile under the masks, a giggle and more than a couple of kind words! This mom of 4 will be happy to sit, in peace, as long as needed to get my huge peach green tea and a kind word. Keep it up Summit team!“
