50 Best Coffee Shops near Lexington

“The staff is very helpful and friendly! I’m always greeted with a smile! Today I even got a beverage recommendation and it was awesome!“

“Stopped in for a late lunch on the patio. Was interested in a bitters & soda and the server recommended mixing the rhubarb and cardamom, which was delicious and refreshing. Followed that with the Chix Correa sandwich and a side salad. Wow! Really creative flavors and well-executed. Could tell everything was made from scratch and with high quality ingredients and care. Also the decor was fun and hip, the music top-notch, and the staff kind. I look forward to coming back soon!“

“They have wonderful chai, a good breakfast and very chill vibes. Great little coffee shop!“

“Great coffee place! What makes this place special is the owners providing a separate building for AA meetings that run from dusk to dawn. Now that is Good Karma!“

“👍🏽👍🏽⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic coffee and tea combos, yummy locally made treats, fabulous staff - welcoming, calming, cozy atmosphere ❣️ Thank you ❣️“

“I gotta say, I am very impressed. Out of all of the reviews you guys are going to read, I promise you guys, no one is as impressed as I am. The Mowafar iced latte I had, the Adeni chai tea iced latte, the KhaliatNahl (honey comb), and what I was looking forward to tasting the most: the bint al-sahn (sabaya). Good job guys, and ps, earlier the day of posting this review, I ate Lamb Haneeth, so on top of that overall, Yemen just hits it out of the park all the time. Well done Qahwah, and well done, Yemen, well done. 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪“

“Coffee is amazing ❤️ and customer service is lovely 😊“

“This coffee shop is truly one of a kind! 🩷☕️ The humans who work here make the experience so welcoming from the moment you walk in. Kudos ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ And I don’t say this lightly — I’ve been ordering coffee for decades, and this is hands down the best iced coffee I’ve ever had! If you haven’t stopped by yet, you’re missing out 🙌🐒-T-🩷“

“Always love stopping by mudslinger's while out running errands. The only downside is that the line can get long in the mornings, especially on weekends. Despite this, they work quickly and I love supporting a small local business!

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids cocoa“

“Hands down the best tea shop in the entire midwest 👌 knowledgeable staff and very high quality tea. Never disappoints! great selection of teaware as well ^__^“

“Pilllar is an amazing coffee house and venue in NE Mpls. The staff are on point, they treat people and artist well, and it’s a safe and welcoming place for all non-turds. Coffee and THC drinks. What more could I ask for?“

“Being a work from home mom, I LOVE this place. Great coffee and awesome play area in back to keep the kids busy“

“Great atmosphere, great coffee and the best caprese sandwich around.“

“I can honestly say this was one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. The aroma was rich and inviting, setting the perfect tone before even the first sip. The flavor was perfectly balanced — smooth, bold, and incredibly satisfying without any bitterness. You could taste the quality of the beans and the care that went into brewing it.
The texture was silky, and the aftertaste left a warm, pleasant finish that made me want to savor every moment. Whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or a true enthusiast, this is the kind of coffee that makes an impression. Absolutely 5 stars — I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Great Ethiopian coffee! It's my "go to" place every weekday morning!“

“First bluegrass jam today. People and space fantastic. I’ll be back.“

“Visiting from out of town and needed a place to get some work done for two hours. Dogwood was the perfect place to do just that, with free wifi, ample seating, and plenty of outlets. I got a Red Wolf Chai Latte with oat milk, which I immediately chugged because it was so good. Aside from the cute to-go cups, there's also a selection of merchandise featuring their branding so I couldn't help but buy one of their stickers. I don't often feel excited about having to do work, but being at Dogwood brought me a lot of joy.“

“I needed a great cup of coffee on a cold rainy afternoon & stopped into Caribou where I know the coffee is always perfect. Never a disappointment. Greeted with a smile and fun time guessing the trivia question of the day. Always wonderful at caribou!“

“I don't frequent this caribou since it's pretty out of the way for me, but in the 5ish times I've stopped here over the past couple years, I've always received a high-quality drink, the staff have always been friendly, and the environment has always been well maintained when I'm there! I wish my local caribou was half as consistent!“

“They have good drinks, bakery and hot food is so-so, not the best. The only complaint I have is that it’s always cold/cold air blowing. Every seat feels cold, doesn’t matter if it’s farthest from the window, it’s cold. Hopefully they turn up the heat in the winter time“

“Came in to get some work done and left with a smile. The staff were so kind and helpful—it honestly made my day.

Edit 7/19: I was very talkative and took up the time of the baristas while they made drinks this busy morning. They were so kind and accommodating! I don’t always read the room properly. So I appreciate it. Thanks to the ‘bou!“

“Starbucks made a big wrong move opening next to Caribou. Specially, the one in Lino Lakes that one is the most premium Caribou I have ever been to. They’re always busy lines of cars to the drive-through. Also, Caribou knows how to hire quality beautiful women compared to Starbucks The people at Caribou move like they took a 10 shot espresso but with a smile wow I love going to Caribou plus it always looks slow every time I pass Starbucks to go to Caribou“

“I go here alot I order the same thing and request a extra shot of expresso. Same days I get what I asked for and some i don't. I love the employees that go the extra mile if it's not correct and also appreciate it. I have had 2 not so good encounters over all and was extremely disappointed. Most of the staff are wonderful. I hope they stay awhile. They make coming here worth it.. but like clock work the last 3 times i been here its like they go out their way to make my stuff. Wrong. I did not ask to have problems with some foods but its wrong ppl go out their way to try and make me sick“

“I placed an order yesterday and it was on my doorstep this morning by 9:30 am! So delicious and so fast!!“

“Sip Coffeebar is a delightful place - with bright and whimsical decor. Barista, Iza, was wonderful - charming, patient and efficient. The sandwiches are delicious and the iced lattes seemed especially delicious! They also offer soup, homemade cookies and much more. Indoor and outdoor seating options are great for warm, sunny days.

Parking: There were multiple spots available on the street when I was there.“

“The food and coffee is so yummy and the workers are always kind! We love this place!“

“Best lattes ever!!!! Love the honey vanilla latte with cold foam ❤️❤️❤️“

“Not sure what her name was. But I was so impressed. My wife not feeling well wanted a hot tea. This young lady suggested the hot raspberry hibiscus tea. Excellent choice and brownie points for me. And I ordered the Ho Ho Mocha. She was awesome pleasant and smiled and gave suck a great service at 6 o’clock at night. Thanks again!!“

“Savannah is the best! She helped me out when an attempted second date 🕺🏿took a turn for the crazy & kept me safe from a thief who likes to steal cups & spoons. (Inside joke here, but true). Her quick thinking did the trick & I am eternally grateful! Thank you Savannah for saving the day and for the tea☕️. It was especially wonderful!!“

“The staff at this location are stellar! They are friendly, talkative and very helpful! My drink was made to perfection and my chocolate croissant was heaven on a plate. Great service overall. Quiet place, easy to meet up with friends or just gather your own your own thoughts.“

“I stopped to purchase a bag of beans. The staff person was delightful, friendly, efficient and took care to make sure that I really wanted the decaf that I had selected. The labeling is somewhat subtle and they made sure that i knew that it was decaf. I really appreciate that attention to detail.“

“Great selection of coffee that keeps my family caffeinated“

“Fantastic coffee and great service“

“It depends on why you are going here...Very *casual" place! Be patient! Take initiative if you have questions. I simply wanted a hot chocolate. It was all warm milk. Absolutely no chocolate flavor at all. I'm somewhat lactose intolerant, so I couldn't finish it. I'm sure Bingo would have been fun though, but I wasn't able to stay. Bingo is free to play and $20 gift for business purchases to the winner of cover all game. Fun cat themed accessories/ clothing to purchase. It would be fun to sit by the window to watch cats if not paying to go in to interact with them. There are also board games to play if just hanging out. I'm not a coffee or tea person, but wanted hot chocolate and love cats and wanted to check this place out.“

“Went in for something cold and not a clue of what. The person helping me asked for a few things I liked and I walked out with a drink I never would have ordered on my own. It was perfect. Green tea and a shot of blue Raspberry. It honestly was a treat. Thanks for a new experience and the personal ability you gave to me.“

“I just ordered an energy drink and the soda machine wasn’t working for sparkling water, there was a girl with tattoos that was SO sweet and instead of leaving without a sparkling drink, she used bottled sparkling water to make it how I wanted. Thank you!“

“I tried to use my streak week rewards in the App and it stated that it could not reward it, so I went inside to see if it could be used at the counter and the gal was able to access it there and reward it to me. I kindly thanked her for that.“

“I love this caribou location. They're always so friendly and do such a great job. I'll often call ahead to order a coffee canteen and it's always ready by the time I arrive. They are so accommodating and make sure I have everything I need. The space is also very nice to meet people or just relax for a bit.“

“Thank you for coming to Ham Lake! Everyone is so friendly, service is quick, something for everyone in the family on the menu at any time of day, and the coffee is GOOD. Dare I say it, better than Caribou and definitely better than Starbucks.“

“Clean and welcoming! Very friendly staff. They turned attention to me as soon as i was ready to order, very cheerful and quick staff from start to finish. While I was waiting for my drink, they were all chatting and laughing. Good chemistry behind the counter and it wasn't inappropriate like I've heard other places when its a somewhat young crew. Perfectly tasty smoothies and shaker! Came out promptly despite them being fairly busy in and in drive thru! Overall, great experience !!“

“My caribou family!

I would be lost without the folks who work at this location. I feel seen, heard, valued and respected from the second I walk in to when I walk out.

Every drink comes out gorgeously, and always with enthusiasm. I work right next door and not all days are equal, but whether I’m down in the dumps or having a great day, every single one of them brightens it further.

Thank you so much for everything you all do, you truly make a difference in someone’s life.

Many hearts and thanks,
Wesley“

“Always a little bit busy. But it's because the Coffee is the best Around. I ordered online and mistakenly got another task to quickly finish. Ended up taking A lot longer than expected. Oops. My fault. But order was ready right away.
Iced drink was mostly melted my fault but it was still awesome. The gals are always a pleasure to deal with.“

“I was recently widowed and it is my birthday. The day would normally be filled with celebration. I forced myself to visit, and I am glad I did. Thank you for the wonderful cooler, it lifted my spirits. My shih tzu Alvin enjoyed the whipping cream.“

“Never been to a dunno bros. It's your typical experience for getting coffee, but they did have some unique options. I rather enjoyed the iced honey matcha, but its not a place I'll come back to. The card reader has 3 buttons for tipping. 18%+ is a bit much for the 1st option but I'm guessing pay as a barrista isn't that great if you need to subsidize with tips on 6+$ drinks. Positive experience but not something I'll partake in again. Kind staff and clean space. Parking is wonky though.“

“Came in this afternoon and I was pleasantly surprised I got a free drink because Savannah had told me that I had enough points so thanks Savannah. You’re definitely gonna be the store I go to from now on you’re very sweet give her a raise.😊♥️“

“Stopped here before a long drive back to Chicago, I was recommended the seasonal tiramisu latte and it was delicious! Lily was a fantastic barista and the manager Danae was warm and welcoming as well. I will have to stop by again soon when I am in town!“

“great service . we all enjoyed our drinks“

“I just stopped by (again!) and had a delicious Santa Cruz dark cocoa latte, perfectly made and just what I needed to make it til dinner!“

“One of my favorites has always been the coolers, but I've been hesitant to order them, because they've often been poorly made (large ice chunks that plug up the straw. Whomever made mine today deserves a medal, since it was flawless.“
