    Southern Eggs Benedict
    Peg M.

    What happy serendipity! We were in Lexington for the Railbird Music Festival, wanted to start Sunday with brunch and found our way to DV8 Kitchen. We chose it for the convenient location and the resemblance to a NKY band by the same name. Don't let the counter-ordering process or cafeteria tray-paper plate service dissuade you. The food quality and quantity are on point and the prices are moderate. My husband rates the Southern Eggs Benedict among the best he's ever had. My Breakfast Plate scrambled eggs were soft and creamy and the large biscuit with honey butter was worth every carb and calorie. The coffee is excellent and we even splurged on their sweet-and-salty kitchen sink cookie. As if that isn't enough, DV8 Kitchen is a second chance employer for people in recovery and everyone we encountered was pleasant and hard-working. We wish them all success and we'll certainly be back.

    Went on a Saturday for lunch time and the place was pretty crowded. Order at the counter. Friendly Staff helped with the menu. My husband really enjoyed the monte Cristo croissant sandwich. The southern eggs Benedict was good, but I didn't personally enjoy the fried green tomato.

    Breakfast plate x2!

    Found it through Yelp and came right over. We both ordered the breakfast plate. My eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was just as I wanted, crispy! But the biscuit with gravy was the hit of the morning! Great texture to the biscuit and the gravy-delicious! The order taker was quite pleasant and helped us order. The food came out quickly and was hot! I'd definitely come back. Industrial looking but comfortable. Nice vibe here. Great place for breakfast in Lexington!

    I'd give this place more stars if I could. First of all I chose to go here because they support hiring people with addiction issues that are in recovery. I'm a drug and alcohol counselor and this concept is amazing and should be in every city in every state. Then there is the food. Omg. So I tried the special of steak and street corn tacos, two in a serving and they were amazing! I also wanted to try the clam chowder but didn't want a whole bread bowl, they were very accommodating and let me just purchase a cup of chowder which was very good with chunks of goodness. Service was outstanding as well!

    I found this eatery on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Based on the reviews, I expected a crowd, but there weren't very many people there on a Sunday morning. The parking lot is huge, and there is plenty of seating inside. The menu is on the smaller side, but there are certainly enough offerings to meet any craving. I ordered the French toast sticks and an eggs benedict, with a sweet tea. The French toast was the perfect example of crunchy on the outside, pillowy soft on the inside. The accompanying syrup was great as it wasn't too sweet. The eggs benedict was ok. I would try something else were I to visit again. The biscuit was fresh and soft but not flavorful at all. I needed salt and pepper to accent the flavors. The sweet tea was semi-sweet. The staff seemed friendly enough, and the price point seemed appropriate.

    Was sent there by a local to have their must have cinnamon rolls. Although they are a must have the breakfast hash recommended by the server is an absolute must! Gravy, meat, potatoes, green beans underneath, etc... so good!!

    Breakfast Plate
    Lisa G.

    We wanted a good breakfast sandwich and figured we would take advantage of car and not be limited to places within walking distance of the dorms. This place was so good! It has a nice, busy, slightly artsy vibe. You order at the front counter, they give you a number for your table tent and then they bring the food out. It was surprisingly fast and service was friendly. We ordered breakfast plates, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, a honey siracha chicken sandwich, a chocolate croissant, tots and coffee. It was around $50 for four of us for a great, fairly fast breakfast. The chicken sandwich was delicious! The chicken was nice, plump and crispy and the sauce was very good with pickles on a flaky biscuit. The tots were well cooked and seasoned. The chocolate croissant was different because it was chocolate cream on top vs inside. It was nice and light and creamy. Even the coffee was good.

    We visited this unique location for lunch at noon on a Saturday. It was busy but not overwhelmingly so. We stood in line for maybe five minutes to order. The food is delivered to your table, self service on drinks. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! The vibe is ultra cool, the food is fresh and delicious. The service was impeccable. I've never seen a cleaner restaurant. I ordered one of the salads with the sweet cider dressing - LOVED! We also tried out one of the cinnamon rolls. Breakfast menu looks great. My husband had the hamburger with the egg. They use 100% black Angus ground beef. The patty was thicker than most places. My husband didn't care for the brioche bun but I love them so that's just a matter of taste. The Tetris fries were super crispy, hot, seasoned and delicious! My husband decided to mix some ketchup with the Cholula hot sauce for dipping... highly recommend! The quality of the ingredients was super fresh and made to order. The pricing is fair and it was nice to be at an establishment that didn't feel like an over priced money grab. Will definitely be 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 .

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.
