The Mousetrap
3323 Tates Creek Rd, Lexington, KY
Crema's Take
“This Lexington neighborhood gem excels at curation over volume, with an acclaimed house-made pimento cheese spread that strikes an impressive balance of garlic-forward flavor, plus a carefully sourced selection of authentic Italian meats that's earned loyal devotion from locals. The hospitable staff and lovely atmosphere make it a destination worth seeking out, though fair warning—this isn't the spot for quick delivery orders, as quality clearly takes priority over speed.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. Quick-grab spot. Light food on the menu.
