3100 Old Todds Rd, Lexington, KY
Crema's Take
“This Lexington spot excels at honest, well-made espresso drinks and seriously satisfying breakfast food, especially their standout breakfast burritos that keep customers driving 20 minutes out of their way. The manual espresso machines mean you'll wait a bit longer for your drink, but the trade-off is quality and care in every cup—their lattes and specialty beverages like the Honeybee consistently impress. While it's more of a casual grab-and-go or quick meeting spot than a lingering work destination, the friendly service and cute aesthetic make it a reliable neighborhood favorite for people who prioritize great food and solid coffee over Instagram-perfect vibes.”

Wish I could give this place a better review. Not someplace for a specialty drink. Coffee bean quality is good. Not a comfortable place to meet or work. Decent menu and drive through makes it convenient.
I got a latte to go. It was tasty, and service was friendly and efficient. The espresso machines aren't fully automatic, so be prepared to wait a little longer for espresso drinks, than at certain big chain coffee shops. It's worth it.
Every latte and smoothie I have had has been delicious! Great breakfast sandwiches and such cute decor!
No vibe to this place. My Rattlesnake didn't taste anything like it said it should. My son's Honeybee was good. We waited about 15-20 minutes for our coffee as the poor girl was working the drive through and front end
I love this coffee shop! I live about 20 minutes away near many other coffee shops but I’ll drive out of my way to come here! They have by far the best breakfast burrito of any other place I’ve tried in Lex! It’s so delicious! I’ve only gotten iced coffee so far so I can’t comment on the hot coffee but I always get either an iced coconut mocha or an iced blackberry mocha and both are so good! The staff are always really friendly and welcoming! The only thing I’d change is their ambiance inside, I think the tables and chairs could use some upgrading for comfortability but I don’t go to coffee shops for the chairs I go for the coffee so that’s not nearly reason enough for me to stop making the drive here! 10/10!
