First visit and found this a great spot. The vibe is chill but also upbeat. Beautiful seating areas for every taste. We sat in the is window area. We had two London figs. The iced had the lavender and vanilla. So yummy. The hot to was with milk only and was great. Served in "stay" chips makes it extra special.
Absolutely love this place! The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with chill vibes, lush plants, and that cozy-but-modern feel that just makes you want to stay all day. The food and drinks are top-tier — super fresh, flavorful, and so pretty you’ll want to take a pic before eating 😋 Whether you’re catching up with friends, getting some work done, or just vibing solo, The Greenery is the perfect spot. Definitely one of Lexington’s hidden gems 🌱✨
I cannot recommend The Greenery enough!! I went here with some friends to do some work. There were a lot of outlets and seating options. We all loved our drinks (I got the Apple Chai-der, a seasonal drink of Apple Cider with Chai spices and some other things) and were very happy! Beyond this, the baristas were extremely kind and patient, full of recommendations, and nice to chat with! I ended up just hanging out at the counter for a moment to chat with them, as they were lovely people. My personal favorite part, though, was the atmosphere! Aptly-named, The Greenery is full of nature-related decor and plants. We walked in and our eyes just lit up. They were even playing a video of Kentucky landscapes on a TV. We absolutely adored every moment here!
This was my first time visiting this place and I definitely will be coming back. There are different sitting sections for people who just want to chill and hangout or if you just want a quiet space.The space is so cozy and inspiring. It is filled with plants and greenery both inside and outside. I was there for a little less than an hour because I went in the afternoon without knowing that they closed at 3PM but I got so much done in that time. There is free WiFi which is super convenient. There isn’t much interaction with the staff other than for order taking but they seemed pretty nice. I got a medium iced latte with hazelnut syrup and caramel sauce for 6 dollars. I think the price was decent but the coffee was honestly mid. I like that they have so many sugar free options for their syrups and sauces. I absolutely love the environment and I am looking forward to trying all their coffees.
The Greenery: coffee and social space is everything you would expect and more. The coffee is fresh and delicious. The empanadas are some of the best I've ever had. The atmosphere is indescribable and must be experienced. The employees are polite and helpful. Anytime I am in Lexington, I'm making time to relax, recharge or start my day at this establishment.
