First time at this location. I prefer it to the DV8 Broadway. Bigger, brighter, nice covered patio. Spotted the special --- a peach burger on a brioche bun with bacon, fresh grilled peaches, (They're in season.) arugula, balsamic glaze. Very good. A knife and fork helped. Don't forget DV8 for breakfast and lunch. 74

Tres leches bread pudding, it may be a smaller slice but it's hefty and delicious

Love this space - there's lots more parking, especially compared to the Broadway location, there's an art gallery next door, and more coffee if you need it! Food is always amazing - I always forget what kind of fun specials they have. And the mission this place supports means a lot.

Can't recommend this place enough! The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful. The portions are generous for what you pay, and there's plenty of seating with a fun, welcoming atmosphere. If you're visiting Lexington, this is a must-try spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch.

This is an inspiring, supportive, delicious, friendly and stylish restaurant. We liked the idea of supporting those in recovery as it's a real need and a serious matter. I understand. Everyone we interacted with was on point, friendly and exceptional. We ordered a ton of food and enjoyed every single morsel. The rest we got to go for later! Stephanie took our order with a smile and made sure everything was just perfect. Seth suggested the cinnamon roll since it was my first time! We got cinnamon roll bread pudding which was dense and fantastic! We also got perfect over medium eggs, seasoned tater tots, biscuit and gravy, bacon, sausage, eggs Benedict, three kinds of homemade jam, extra seasoning and a major breath of fresh air! Everything was perfect! We don't know when we will pass through Lexington again but when we do, we will definitely stop here! Life can be very good with a little support.

To start DV8 has a cool story involving giving people a second chance with employment and mentoring. But also the food is delicious and they have a nice patio. They have both meals and bakery items. We've been here a couple of times visiting a son at UK. Take yours here when you visit and trick them into thinking you got cool and hip when they left for college.

Food 10/10 Service 5/10. The cashier seemed unhappy to be there. Ambiance 8/10. Good music playlist; still can hear the person across from you when talking; comfortable seating; plant life encompassed in the decor Overall 7/10

Amazing toast! The mini breakfast sliders where divine and shareable. The breakfast smash burger on the croissant was very new and yummy. The space is so nice you have more privacy for a meeting or brunch date.

This visit was a solid 4, but this is definitely a great restaurant. My experience at the other location on a prior trip was just such a stand out. We ordered a breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg and cheese on brioche), tater tots, a fried green tomato BLT and coffee. It was really good. You order at a counter and they bring out the food. They have a display case with their signature pastries, which has helpful to see and salivate a little. My daughter's breakfast sandwich was good. The egg was not quite fried, as ordered, and it dripped out and we had to do some clean up, but not a big deal. My sandwich was good and nice to try something different. It's just a tad heavy and rich. Tots were well seasoned and cooked nice and crisp. Restaurant was hopping. There is a parking lot, but it was full and I parked just a tad bit further away. Overall, really good. I prefer the other location and will keep trying menu items. DV8 will def be in our regular rotation during UK visits

Awesome restaurant and second chance positive concept. There are two locations in Lexington. They have great food, delicious coffee, and are known for their bakery. Definitely worth seeking out!

Breakfast plate! I ate it all!

Their chimichurri steak sandwich is life changing and to die for. I think it was a special. Love what their business practice is.

I ordered the eggs Benedict and the egg was barely cooked. The white was not cooked and was just goo. I won't be going back.

Wow!! There is no way to describe just how moist,…read moredelicious, and enchanting their treats are. We stopped at a nearby store and decided we should check it out. It's a small unassuming place from the outside. Inside, you're greeted with friendly faces and two large bakery glass cases full of so many beautifully decorated goodies... your mouth immediately waters as your eyes bounce back and forth because your mind can't decide what you want to eat. There's lots of varieties of cookies from chocolate chip, sugar cookies, and lots with icing decorations like UK, crowns, emojis and much more. There's bon bons, turnovers, cupcakes, brownies, muffins, petit fours, and so much more!!! They also make intricately decorated cakes and other personalized orders. We grabbed a UK sugar cookie, a massive cookie sandwich, and a petit four. The petit four was mine and by far the best choice of the three we bought. Subtle taste of lemon in the icing glaze, the most moist cake I've ever eaten, and a buttercream flower on top. It was fairly larger than any petit four I'd ever eaten, so that was a plus!! It was so soft and deliciou, I'll admit I was a little sad that I had finished it so quickly. We ate so quickly we only got one picture of the cookie sandwich. Sorry not sorry.

I got there shortly after they opened and there was no other customers in the store so I had no wait time. They do have a sign which is posted with all that's available that day. That was super helpful as a first timer. The store itself is super cute with an open kitchen so you can see them preparing to bake . It made me smile to see they use kitchen aid stand mixers because I have one as well. The French toast cinnamon roll looked outstanding but I decided to go with a salted chocolate chip cookie which I have to say was phenomenal. As a home baker myself I'm really picky when it comes to baked goods . The lady at the counter was super friendly and patient with me while I decided what I wanted .

It was soft, sweet, and had excellent filling and frosting! This cinnamon roll is a seasonal flavor, French toast - it is the same as their standard cinnamon roll but the frosting is maple syrup flavored cream cheese (genius and delicious!). The server was very nice and helpful and the ambiance is that of a a cute little bakery! I can't wait to come back again and try more of their treats!

From the moment you walk in, you're surrounded by the most beautiful pastries and the most incredible smells. Everything looks almost too pretty to eat--but trust me, you'll want to eat ALL of it! The macarons are absolutely phenomenal. They're delicate, flavorful, perfectly textured, and come in so many unique flavors that choosing just a few is nearly impossible. And the pastries are just as amazing. Everything tastes fresh, handcrafted, and made with so much care. Their French-inspired pastries and croissants are seriously next level. The atmosphere is adorable and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and helpful. You can tell this is a place where people genuinely care about what they're creating. There's even upstairs seating that makes it such a cute spot to sit, enjoy a coffee and pastry, and just take a little break. La Petite Délicat is definitely one of those hidden gems that you're going to be glad you found. Whether you're stopping in for a coffee and croissant, grabbing macarons to take home, or treating yourself to something sweet, you really can't go wrong. Absolutely worth the stop--and I will 100% be back!

I stopped in on Friday to get breakfast. Not pictured is…read morethe almond crossiant I ate in the car. Pictured is the mushroom and brie crossiant and a piece of Opera Cake. The almond crossiant was everything it should be buttery, flaky, tasty. The almond filling was really good . As for the Mushroom and Brie crossiant its literally big enough to share if you pair it with fresh fruit or a side salad for brunch. My friend absolutely loved it and I had a small piece of it and again it was buttery and flaky as it should be. And as big as it was we both felt 6.50 was a reasonable price. The opera Cake was chocolatey and had a hint of coffee flavoring in it the filling was light and fluffy. Overall it was really good! Both my friend and I are European (she's from Germany and I'm Swiss and Spanish so we've eaten our fair share of European vs American bakery items. I have to say this was pretty close to what we've had in Europe. The woman at the counter was friendly and engaging. There was no line when I got there in the morning around 8:40 . I can see how on the weekends it gets busy there. The interior was really nice and looked comfortable. The bakery display cases were clean organized, good signage and well lit.
