Solomon's Porch Cafe & Catering
111 E Main St, Nicholasville, KY
Crema's Take
“Solomon's Porch Cafe & Catering is a warmly welcoming spot where the coffee and generous, creatively-named sandwiches (think Biblical references woven throughout the menu) come second only to the genuine kindness of both staff and regulars who seem genuinely interested in making travelers and neighbors alike feel at home. The cozy, window-filled space invites you to linger over pour-overs and seasonal offerings, whether you're a student camped with a laptop or a family catching up over a King Solomon sandwich and house-made soup.”

Kind folks -especially to someone traveling through. Despite being a "college town" you'll find folks of all ages, most Christians -but many willing to chat. The barista was cool, and made us feel welcomed.
Food is good, really enjoy their sandwiches and sometimes get their salads and soups. They have good seasonal food options. Also great service. The atmosphere is overall cozy and I love the big windows letting in natural light, and the little fireplace in the corner makes it cozy. Their specialty coffees tend to be not as much my favorite (too sweet) so I normally get drip coffee. There’s usually at least 2 types of drip coffee available, which is nice. Seating can be limited for larger groups.
A delightful local breakfast/lunch restaurant. Portion sizes are very generous, and the staff is always kind and helpful. My favorite sandwich is the King Solomon...turkey, ham, roast beef, cheddar, Swiss, tomato, sprouts, and mayo on whole wheat... excellent! And the crumb cake!? And the coffee!? Yep, I'll be back!
Fun 2nd wave coffee shop. Food looks good but didn't try it. The coffee brewing approaches could be updated with some barista training. Lots of fun comfy seating. Very close to Asbury.
Solomon’s Porch is a great place for breakfast or lunch. Creative and expansive menu of some unique twist on some old favorites. The menu is full of Biblical references for their items which adds to the charm of Solomon’s. I had the Babylonian which was a thick slice of baloney, fried and topped with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo on white toast. If you grew up with these sandwiches then this was a definite winner. Wide selection of fountain drinks along with bottled local sodas. Real creative coffees and teas as well. Limited seating but still it was fun.
