Hidden back in the lush trees, a little cafe so cheerful and charming…read more Ok! It's by chance that we discovered this new restaurant and greenhouse. This is a fully functional restaurant and or cafe style place. They have a great menu. The menu is seasonal. It's not simple by any standards. In fact it's a great little high end place for garden parties. But today it's just two simple individuals that are having lunch in a garden together. Now we had some sort of special lunch arrangement with hummus and a Greek like salad. It was fresh and delicious. They have great coffee offerings. You must have the flavored gelato with coffee. We had the hazelnut one. It's delicious especially on these hot humid summer days. The service was great. Not being from the area they had to explain the menu to us. A few times. But all went well. They make the gelato offerings as soon as they are ordered. The food they call at the end, eventually. It's made to order. Now where else can you eat in a green house garden? Here in Lexington! This was a first for us. They have all sorts of Sunday concerts while you dine. Music among the trees and flowers. Wow! You can come to poetry readings and relax as you hear the love of someone's works. I'll see you at the Garden next time.

My friend and I stopped by for lunch. When we walked in…read morethere were a couple of people picking up orders. She ordered the three piece chicken tenders and got a order of fries with cheese. I don't know what seasoning they use on the fries but its so good! The food came out piping hot and fresh. They don't skimp on the portions. She ended up taking the rest home with her. The chicken tenders were so hot She had to wait a few minutes before she could eat them. The food is always consistent every time we go. The store has several tables to sit at if you choose to stay and eat. The tables as well as the store was clean. The man at the register was friendly and he did let us know when her food was ready. They have a huge selection of beverages including beer. And the soft serve ice cream is really good as well.

This place was literal perfection for that. First of all, Rissa at the front was so sweet in helping me choose the best options. She made me one of the best coffees I've ever had!! (All their syrups are homemade and the carmelized banana was amazing.) Melissa, the owner, came over to run my food and we had the chance to chat for a minute. She was so lovely and I can tell she genuinely puts her heart and soul into this place. Sandwich - Cali Romesco - so delicious and I would love to remake at home, but Floating Lotus sources all of their ingredients locally and it sure tastes like it. Guess I just need to come back for more! Will be returning every time I get to visit Lexington, cannot say enough good things!!!

But what I got was not, it's just a regular pancake that roll together. Crepes are a very very very thin pancake, the batch it's different, it's more a lot more watery than pancake. This was not crepes that I know.

I will say the noise level was on the louder side which is why I decided to sit outside . Well and to pet the cat as well! The line had 3 customers in front of me but went quickly. The man at the register was friendly enough. I didn't wait long for the barista to call my name. I just ordered a basic iced latte but they have a variety of espresso based flavored drinks like s'mores that sounded really good. The condiment area was well stocked and clean and the empty tables were clean as well. The space itself is designed very nicely and its cozy yet spacious at the same time. They have a pastry case with a variety of items that looked really good however I didn't get any. I sat out front in their garden for a little while and I was the only one sitting outside so it was peaceful. Their landscaping is done tastefully and its pleasing to the eye. As for parking I can't comment on that as I walked from where we live. On a sidenote its literally around the corner from Wilson's Grocery. That's pretty convenient.

Have eaten here a handful of times the past couple weeks and the selections are either hit or miss…read more Before I tell you what decent items to get, let me get the not so good items out of the way. First off, do not get the sliced pizza! It tastes like the cardboard that it comes in. Secondly, do not get the nachos! I knew from the moment that they offered fried rice to go along with beans, ground beef, sour cream, white cheese sauce, salsa, and guacamole that something was not right! The ground beef had no flavor whatsoever, like all they did was cooked it and did not bother to season it. The only things that had any flavor was the sour cream and beans. Now where the nachos are located they usually have different items everyday at station. The pizza is always at the same spot. They have other stations like a deli and salad area but I have yet to get items from there so I can't say anything about it. As for the good stuff, the one location they have has cheese burgers, grilled chicken burgers, hot dogs, fish sandwiches, and chicken tenders. Some of their notable sides are mac n cheese, onion rings, sweet potato fries, and regular fries. This spot is my go to if the other stations don't look appealing. The grilled chicken they use for the sandwich is actually a decent size and not dry at all. The onion rings are crispy and not as greasy as you think it would be. As for service, you tell them what you want and they put it in a container for you and you pay on the way out. Plenty of tables and chairs for you sit down and enjoy your food. As for the location, this place is a little bit of an adventure to find. As you come in through the main entrance, there are really no signs telling you where this place is. So as you come in through the main entrance, go to your right and you can either take the stairs or the elevator to the second floor. There you will see the "Cafe Central" sign. As for the hours I have posted a pic so you can refer to it. Hours are a bit weird so make sure you take a look at it before making your way. They also have a Cafe North which is on the first floor but is a smaller version in which they have hot foods as well. Yelp 2022 Review #24 875 overall

This is the main cafe inside of Baptist Hospital. All of the doctors and nurses eat here, but it…read moreseems somewhat hidden to visitors. It's not in a main area of the hospital, it's actually on the second floor and unless you're specifically searching for it, you're probably never going to run into it. My beloved aunt used to be a nurse at Baptist Hospital, so she filled my dad in on this hidden gem. Hopefully I just ate my last meal here. No offense to the cafe or the hospital, but I just don't want to be here. Today, Dad and I just ate breakfast here for the second morning in a row. He raved about the under priced biscuits and gravy at breakfast. The first morning, I wasn't hungry but I did try a few tater tots and they were great. The Heinz ketchup was an excellent compliment. They have the modern pumps of ketchup, mustard and barbecue sauce, all Heinz brand. This morning I got the premade tuna sandwich. One of the ladies behind the counter scalded the grill master for allowing me the purchase it though, so stick to breakfast food, don't be difficult like me. For dinner I had a hotdog and fries from the grill area. I really wanting chicken tenders but they were prepared and sitting under the warmer. The burgers were the same, I noticed them on the back grill sort of off to the side, already grilled but waiting to be warmed. Dad ordered a burger and it was warmed on the grill and served quickly, the grill master has the quickness thing down to an art. Overall, I think everything and the extensive choice excel for hospital food. Impressive.

For 2019, Selma's Catering and Events has the commission and is making some excellent food out of a barely serviceable food prep area. In the carriage house, the take-out style place has one table inside and three or four tables outside. The staff is very warm and hospitable, but easily overwhelmed by a crowd (we were 8 and a sandwich was forgotten - of course, for the wrong person in our group to have that happen to). The food was excellent. I had a taste of the Henry Clay, which is homemade pimento cheese on wheat bread with tomato jam and plenty of bacon. Imagine sweet and creamy with a salty crunch, and you may have a glimmer into this wonderful sandwich. The BLT was a classic and was absolutely loaded with bacon. The LOs' turkey sandwiches were incredibly generous. I had the Go West Young Man Salad, which was an entire sliced chicken breast with pineapple, strawberries and walnuts over chopped romaine. Served with balsamic vinaigrette, the salad was crisp and refreshing. DM had the homemade chicken salad served on crisp romaine, rather than a tomato, which was also good. Moist chicken with plenty of crunchy veg in a creamy dressing made for an excellent lunch plate. I highly recommend coming to the Ginkgo Tree Café, especially if Selma's Catering and Events has the commission.

It was so good that I can confidently say it will forever change your expectations of a breakfast biscuit. It was also perfect for a brunch picnic. We picked ours up before heading out for a hike, and it gave us exactly the fuel we needed for a full day of adventures around Lexington. Everything was satisfying, filling, and delicious. I would definitely recommend Beau's Cafe to anyone visiting Lexington. It is the kind of place you will want to return to, especially before a day outdoors. The breakfast biscuit alone is worth the visit! Buttery and flakey, something you definitely don't want to miss.

Extremely friendly service from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. We were seated rather fast, but their seats can be uncomfortable. The inside is beautiful! So clean, so modern... wish they were bigger. The music can be a bit loud but nothing crazy. Plenty of parking space. My husband and I ordered the burrito and potatoes each... you'd think assembling a burrito doesn't take too long... well, it took about 50 min for our food. Side note, I thought the server said potatoES (you'd think chopped potato pieces)... well, it's not. It's more of a fried potato cake... it was too greasy for me to eat unfortunately so just a PSA as others have warned. And as soon as we took a bite, the server came and dropped off the check. I get that they were busy but we had just started eating. Overall, they were busy so I'll give them some grace. 8/10, I will try to be back soon.
