Great Bagel & Bakery
396 Woodland Ave, Lexington, KY
Crema's Take
“Robert and Lara Stone have built something genuinely special in Lexington with Great Bagel & Bakery, earning serious credibility from a New York bagel purist who travels the country seeking the real thing. Beyond the standout bagels, their drinks are generating real enthusiasm from regulars who keep coming back with almost obsessive loyalty. It's the kind of independent spot where the owners clearly care about getting the fundamentals right, even if consistency still varies from visit to visit.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

I ordered a American garlic bagel. The seeds on the bagel were burnt to a crisp. The stinkiest nastiest thing. I could not eat it at all and it wasn't not cheap. When getting in the car something smelt weird but I figured it would be okay. To top it off I also got a French…
There was barely any Lox on my NYC bagel. I've seen more Lox on a $14.00 bagel up in New York than here. Not to mention the bagel itself was rock hard. The Hot Brown was at least flavorful but very dry. The Melt came out decent, my son really liked it. Also 5% for employee…
