High on Art & Coffee

Crema's Take

Tucked into Lexington's charming downtown, this beautifully designed spot seamlessly blends a cozy coffee shop with a curated local artisan marketplace, so you're just as likely to walk out with a handpicked scarf or candle as you are a perfectly crafted latte. The welcoming staff and thoughtfully designed interior make it equally suited for a solo work session, lingering over breakfast with friends, or browsing the rotating selection of local goods while sipping a smoothie. It's the kind of place that locals rave about and visitors instantly understand why—genuine, generous with its attention to both coffee and community.

Wowza! We stopped here for breakfast on our first day in Lexington as it was recommended to us by a local. We had a phenomenal experience. We ordered 2 smoothies (so many options) and breakfast sandwiches. The team was very patient with us as we looked at the menu and ordered. You can tell that the owner boasts kindness and compassion into his business, a man in need came in and the team supplied him with a warm breakfast and cup of coffee. I will always go out of my way to support businesses that support their community! 100% recommend High on Art & Coffee for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or drink options!

Small space but super nice interior and staff. The inside area doubles as a local artisan shop. There were some really cute scarves hanging up that I intend on getting one. There is a room in the back where my wife and I ate and then played chess. Loved my experience and look forward to going again.

High on Art was in a very cute and in a pretty town, being that I'm from out of state it was really fun to explore. The inside was super pretty and bigger than what was really shown online. Due to the holidays the place was decorated which made it even better. There was seating for those who chose to. They also had an amazing gift shop filled with good gifts that can be given to many. I didn't get any of the items served but my friends did and they enjoyed everything they bought, but mainly the sandwiches. I overall just loved the vibe of High on Art. The people were extremely nice and just great. I would rate High on Art five stars, I truly loved it and think everyone should go.

I had been wanting to stop in for a while but was struggling to find time as I work a 9-5, but I am SO glad I made time! This is one of my favorite spots I’ve been able to spend some time at while in Lexington! First, the sandwich and food selection is EXPANSIVE and my sandwich was absolutely DELICIOUS. I ordered a Cranberry-Orange sandwich, which had turkey, lettuce, and bacon, too. I have been thinking about this sandwich for almost two weeks now. It was amazing. I want to return to try other menu options. My friend and I both loved our coffee orders, as well. Beyond this, the staff were genuinely so kind, helpful, welcoming, and fun. I felt so happy to be there and had a lovely time chatting with the employees. They were also very efficient. Finally, if you love small businesses and handmade art/jewelry/products, you NEED to stop in and check out High On Art and Coffee. My friend and I wandered around looking at the handmade jewelry, soaps, crafts, wood carvings, and so much more! We each ended up buying things that we both wear all of the time! As soon as time allows, I WILL be back. I cannot recommend this coffee shop enough!
