McLeod's Coffee House
376 Southland Dr, Lexington, KY
Crema's Take
“McLeod's Coffee House is a welcoming community hub that pairs excellent, freshly-made coffee with a surprisingly robust food menu, all tucked behind a charming thrift shop in the front. What really sets this place apart is the genuine warmth of both the staff and regulars—visitors consistently praise the cozy, art-filled atmosphere and the sense that they've stumbled onto something special rather than just grabbing coffee. It's a nonprofit at heart, making it feel less like a transaction and more like joining a community gathering spot in Lexington.”

Really great place with really friendly staff! Good food at affordable prices, and clean. There is a small thrift shop as you walk in, and the coffee and food are in the back. The food is made fresh, and service is quick and friendly. Highly recommended!! Thank you!
I went to this shop with a friend and I’ve found my new favorite coffee shop in Lexington. The employees, patrons, and atmosphere were all so welcoming and I enjoyed the chats I had. The coffee was also very good with many options and much more affordable than going to a coffee chain. There was tons of local artwork for sale and adorable mismatched furniture. I highly recommend this place! For anyone who does not know this shop is a non-profit that employs adults with disabilities and donates to many causes that support minorities, so your money is going to a good cause!
First time here every one was friendly. I love the cozy vibes of the place a lot of interesting things to look at and even some art work and other things for sale. I got a dirty chai ice cold and it was good $8 is a lil high in my opinion but not too terrible. The only downside I would say is not a lot f food choices. I would recommend to others
February 22, 2025 My husband and I stopped by for coffee but were pleasantly surprised by the variety of food options available. We decided to try the biscuits and gravy, which were not only delicious but also incredibly affordable. The coffee shop has a unique and eclectic charm, with its diverse decorations and cozy atmosphere. I especially loved the faith-based music playing in the background and seeing Bible study groups gathered here. The service was quick and friendly, adding to the overall welcoming vibe. It’s also wonderful that this establishment provides job opportunities for individuals with disabilities—a truly special place we’d love to visit again!
Today is the first time for me to come to this place. I was only stopby to try a new coffee shop. I don't know this is a nonprofit organization helping people and actually a community center, which is wonderful! Back the to coffee, I'm a home barista pull my own espresso and make latte art everyday and I like the latte from this coffee house very much. It's great. To my surprise, the price is lower than the main coffee chains. With this quality, I have to buy a bag of whole beans they use for their espresso. I'm very happy to find this gem in Lexington. This place, people here, the coffee itself, they make my day.
