The food is amazing, the staff is so friendly and I love the atmosphere. Futile Bakery is legitimately one of the best!
So disappointed! I really wanted to support this new, local bakery! I ordered 2 boxes of Christmas cookies to give as gifts. When I stopped by to pick them up around 1pm, the door was locked. I could see someone inside baking, so I knocked & mentioned that I was here for a pickup. They just looked at me through the glass & said we’re closed. The sign on the door said they closed at noon. No one mentioned this when I placed the order - I know bakeries usually close early, but noon seems extreme - especially during the holidays! So, I went back the next morning to get my two $27 boxesof cookies. No one greeted me upon entering. 5 people were milling about the front & one lady was on the phone. When I was finally recognized, I asked for my cookie boxes, only to be told that they didn’t have them. I guess they gave them to someone else. And they told me they could bake some more for me to pickup tomorrow!! What!? No one apologized or offered anything as a substitution. Nothing. Just - we don’t have your cookies, but we can make some more. No one mentioned when I placed the order or ever called, texted or emailed me to say - if you don’t pick up your order between 7a - noon, we will sell your cookies to someone else. We are leaving town today for Xmas, which is why I wanted the cookies - to bring with me, so I had to go elsewhere. Martine’s Pastries didn’t disappoint - they had an abundant selection of cookies, gingerbread houses & cookies, fruit cakes, pies and lots of delicious flavors, for a lot less than the $54 I was going to pay here.

AMAZING!! They did our wedding cookie cake and it was beautiful and delicious. They made a small, tiered cookie cake for us and a bunch of cookie sandwich cakes for our guests. Daniel was a pleasure to work with too. Highly recommend!

Their cinnamon rolls are touted as "the best" but they were terribly mediocre: with neither the heft of a classic biscuit dough or the lightness of a laminated croissant. They were merely "meh." The icing was pure sugar, with no discernable cream cheese. If you must go, get the coffee cake which, while overly salty is, at least, interesting.
I have been wanting to get by this spot after seeing so many great pics of the baked goods. I'm a sucker for a great scone and managed to get two to sample on our visit Friday. Love the blueberry lemon scone!The Cranberry Orange was very tasty too!

A great selection of baked goods. Their cinnamon rolls are excellent and their menu changes weekly but there are always delicious rolls, scones, bars, breads, brownies and cookies to satisfy your baked breakfast needs or sweet tooth. I recently bought some cinnamon rolls, apple crumble rolls and a blueberry streusel bar while I had family in town and the family was so pleased. Also the staff was so friendly. If you would like to know what they are serving up for the week, check out their Instagram.

Have visited this place numerous times. Everything is delicious here. Mostly frequent this bakery for friends' birthdays and pick up an assortment of baked goods for them. Always have special cinnamon roll on the menu and several different types of scones and cookies. Everything is so fresh. Cinnamon rolls are so flaky, just the right amount of icing. This week's special was cookie monster roll and it did not disappoint. They now have a punch card for rewards

My other visits have been less pleasing. The employees are all nice and I don't run into any trouble, but I haven't found the desserts to be as pleasing. I found the chocolate chip cookie to be too sugary and fatty tasting. This brownie was very good, but I preferred it without the extra. The icing, imo, wasn't outstanding. I had really loved this place at first, but have had a handful of "eh" experiences after.

Really like this place, grass roots Lexington. Employees are great, nice people - like we are here in Lexington ! Here's a secret: they are known for their cinnamon roles but their absolute BEST baked offering is a coconut cream scone. If you have one you will dream of your next one all day. It's just something to behold.
