“ Such a great place!! I have struggled to find good coffee in Lexington, but this place is amazing! Such a cute atmosphere. Huge outdoor area, perfect for summer! Everyone is very friendly and engaging. I do wish they had a simple bacon, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich ”
“ If you’re gluten-free, you have to check out Grounded All Day — their options are actually delicious! I had the Katniss without wontons on a gluten-free bagel, and it was absolutely fantastic. The shredded chicken with fig spread was the perfect combo — flavorful, satisfying, and honestly one of the best gluten-free bagels I’ve ever had. My husband had a blueberry bagel with plain cream cheese and loved his too, and my latte was perfectly made and hit the spot. The space itself is super cute, thoughtfully designed, and they’ve got a beautiful outdoor seating area that’s ideal for relaxing. The staff were wonderful, and the owner made our experience extra special — taking time to chat, explain the menu, offer samples, and even share great local recommendations for the rest of our Bourbon Trail adventure. Five stars all the way — from the food to the people to the atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back! ”
“ *VEGETARIAN * Nice veggie bagel sandwich. Their everything bagel is really nice . Three pepper cream spread and onion spread are really good too. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Everyone works here pretty nice. We were visiting this place and we were new in the area. They guide us pretty well with everything. ”
“ The staff is so vibrant and friendly even very early in the morning and throughout the day. Every time that I have been had been the most wonderful morning. The food is absolutely decadent and delicious. Very amazing, high end food that's still insanely delicious (as most high ends may not be lol) for an amazing price. I recommend this place to EVERYONE that visits and lives in Lexington! ”
“ If I could add more stars, I would! I frequent coffee shops regularly around Lexington and the employees & service here cannot be matched. Everyone is SUPER friendly and engaging and all around happy to see you and be there. The atmosphere is FANTASTIC (including the outdoor patio during the warmer months). The owner is super personable and has clearly the best barista team known to mankind. This has become my new go-to shop based off employees alone, but it definitely helps that it also has STELLAR coffee & cream cheeses and a great ambiance! ”
“ Delicious bagels with all kinds of special and delicious sauces and fillings. The staff is charming, professional, excellent service and a lot of willingness to satisfy the customer. ”
“ My wife and I stopped in after the gym on Saturday around 11:30, along with some of our gym friends and their kids. We were pleasantly surprised by how spacious and inviting the backyard area was—it’s a perfect spot to relax and let the kids play. This place isn’t just about coffee and tea—they also serve cocktails and beer, which was a nice bonus. The food was excellent. I had the Johnny Drop and my wife had the Blackberry Farm—both were delicious. While we waited for our food, we enjoyed a couple of mimosas and great conversation with friends out back. Everything from the food to the laid-back outdoor vibe made for an awesome experience. We’ll definitely be back ”
“ AMAZING service, DELICOUS bagels!! I got the bacon pepper jam cream cheese (came with crispy jalapenos on top) and an iced matcha latte. They even give out free samples so you can try different flavors before ordering. Staff were super friendly and courteous about my allergies, too. I mentioned being allergic to sesame seeds and they immediately washed their hands and got a new knife and cutting board. Wish I lived in town, I’d come back for sure! ”
