Old School Coffee
380 S Mill St Ste. 110, Lexington, KY
Crema's Take
“Nestled in a converted historic schoolhouse, this beloved Lexington spot fills its quirky, homey space with vintage classroom touches like chalkboards and old bells while delivering genuinely excellent espresso-focused drinks and pastries that keep locals coming back multiple times in a single day. What really sets it apart is the palpable warmth of the owners and staff, who create an atmosphere of genuine kindness that makes this place feel less like a transaction and more like visiting friends who happen to make exceptional coffee.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Parking available.
