Very cute little cafe with a very big menu! There was no one dining in when we went for breakfast one morning so the service was super fast. The food was pretty good, kind of basic. I did like that my fruit cup was bananas and strawberries. Most restaurants are all the same with a fruit up of grapes and melons. I wish the breakfast sandwich was a little bigger and the waffle had a bit more flavor. We will still go back to try other things on the menu.

I had the bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant.
Everything was cooked to perfection. The bacon was very tasty and uh, crispy but chewy. Not a super large sandwich, but enough to fill you up.
I also ordered a side of fried green tomatoes. Nice size portion, every tomato was fried to perfection. No burn spots anywhere cooked perfectly seasoned, just right, plenty of flavor but not overpowering.
I highly recommend trying this place out. If you're in the area, if not
Make the effort to pay them a visit. The food is exquisite. Service was very friendly and order was up fast. Great atmosphere.

Ordered a latte and the breakfast hash. Service was prompt and everyone was very nice. This might be the best hash I have ever had

Food looked and smelled good, still managed to exceed expectations. If you’re in the area and don’t come to get food or coffee, you’re missing out!

Had the Farmers market hash with a side of bacon and a drip coffee. Unfortunately the meal was 90% potatoes, with a very very light dusting of mushroom and pepper fragments. A very disproportional and one-sided meal. Neither the single egg nor the hot sauce was enough to help this dry dish. Bread...was good. I wish I could compliment the coffee, but it was very sour. Almost like a Turkish coffee taste. Unpleasant experience and I really overpaid for what was essentially cubed salty potato fries. The employees were very kind and friendly.

This black-owned business is amazing! The coffee is excellent, the vibe is vibing, and the breakfast choices that I’ve had, have been amazing! ☕️🫶🏽🖤

Tucked away in a small shopping strip is gem of a brunch and coffee shop. There is an expansive menu, from a simple egg and cheese biscuit to many variations of breakfast platters. My egg and cheese biscuit was delicious, the biscuit wasn’t too thick like some places. I got a flavored latte with Carmel and vanilla. Delicious, I’ll be back!!

I had the waffles, bacon, and homestyle potatoes. The food was hot and fresh. The owner was very friendly and took the time to speak to each of her customers. I will definitely be back the next time I am in Lexington.

So glad I joined some fellow volunteers for brunch yesterday. The Egg, Bacon, and Cheese Croissant was so tasty. Food came out hot, cheese nice and melty and that flakey butter croissant was *chef’s kiss* plus the prices are super reasonable. Also check out the breakfast potatoes because they are the perfect crispy exterior with soft interior. I’ll definitely return and add pictures next time. The ladies at the register and food pick up were so respectful friendly and welcoming. Can’t rave about this place enough.
