Stopped in to have lunch and do some co-working. Such a great atmosphere. There's ample seating and free-WiFi. They offer a great selection of coffee, drinks and food options. I had a grilled cheese with Turkey that was exceptionally good. The vibe was relaxed and I felt no pressure to rush and leave after my meal. I hung out to work for a couple of hours. Cute decor, excellent service, strong WiFi, great food & drinks...what more could you ask for?!

Black sesame matcha

Lovely calm space off Old Harrodsburg Road. Parking all around the lot, there's even some in the back The decor is super cute. Lots of lovely plants and very calming. There's a little couch and several smaller counters to sit at. Bonus - they have high chairs if you need one! Drinks and food are absolutely delicious. The black sesame matcha is a little sweet and delicious. The chicken satay wrap has a crunchy vegetables and comes with a savory peanut sauce that makes the flavor stand out (honestly so good that I forgot to take a picture).

This local gem has quickly become my go-to for cold brew, matcha, and fresh grab-and-go lunches. They have a beautiful setting with such welcoming vibes and the nicest people. I highly recommend trying the banana milk cold brew (so unique + delicious!). My first lunch item I tried was the turkey gouda jamwich (turkey, gouda, chipotle chili crisp mayo + raspberry jam + arugula = perfection). I'll definitely be back for this again. I can't wait to try more of the lunch options since they all look so fresh and delicious. Fun surprise: the cold brew is actually from Lexington-based 4th Level Roasters.

This is a beautiful space with the best ambiance. I stopped in for an open table art night and enjoyed the experience very much! Since then, I keep coming back for the Turkey Gouda Jamwich! You can order it or pick it up from the grab and go fridge! They have a wonderful menu and if you like matcha, they offer a variety of matcha lattes with fun flavors! The service is wonderful and I always feel welcome!

Previously attended a private food tasting by family owners & grand opening today. First off all, the owners & staff are wonderful people. I truly felt welcomed and cared for during both encounters. They are open to receiving feedback & really are committed to providing a wonderful food experience for all their patrons. The opening house was busy and lively! Great music & vibes overall. Food samples were delicious and my Honey Banana Brew was flavorful and unique. I ordered the Turkey Gouda sandwich (cold) to-go. My mouth is still tingling with excitement for how scrumptious the sandwich was! I'll definitely return and recommend others to support this great new spot!!

Zen crunch bowl, Black sesame matcha iced latte, and Eggplant sandwich

Really wonderful experience at the Floating Lotus Kitchen! The menu isn't expansive, though feels intentional and allows for each dish to standout. It was really hard to choose what to get. Fortunately they give a pick 2 option for sandwich, soup, and bowl. This is the zen crunch bowl and eggplant sandwich. The ingredients were fantastic in each! Also featured is a black sesame matcha iced latte (which is unique to me!). The service was 10/10 as well. Really personable, welcoming staff. I'll definitely be back and plan to tackle their whole menu before too long!

We had a family gathering of 9 folks with an 11 am reservation. They had the table set up for us…read moreand our server, River was excellent. She was efficient, polite and helpful. The space is small but bright and cheerful and very comfortable. Located in a strip mall there was amlpe parking. It was super clean in the restaurant and the bathrooms. The food however was not impressive to my husband or myself. I have some dietary restrictions so ordered 2 scrambled eggs and an English muffin. I thought the 2 eggs, that only looked like one based on the serving for $5 was a bit overpriced. But the eggs were good, nothing special, just plain scrambled egg(s). I could not eat the English muffin, it was grilled, not toasted and was greasy, which didn't taste good. River did bring me some jam that I put on one half of the muffin but it did not sit well on my stomach due to the grease. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles. He did not care for either. I tasted his waffle and I too thought it was bland and dry. He said the chicken was greasy. It was a huge plate of food and he brought 2 of the 3 pieces of chicken home that we ended up throwing away. It was never really crowded which afforded us the opportunity to sit and visit for about 3 hours so that was ideal. The chicken and waffles (from the brunch menu) came with a buffet of pastry. 5 of our party had brunch items that came with the buffet and one one of them ate a muffin from that buffet. All brunch items were priced at $25. Again, I think a bit expensive for chicken and waffles. I doubt that I would ever go back but if I did it would be for coffee and maybe a pastry.

I had lunch with my team free today. 2 members of my team had the Brie burger and the Truffle…read moreburger with fries.. and both loved their food! A third member ordered the Crispy Chicken salad with honey mustard. Though the salad looked great, what was brought out was a drizzle of something that was not honey mustard and she had to order it on the side. I ordered the Spicy Chicken burger. It was really good but not spicy at all. But the most disappointing part of my meal were the mashed potatoes! I didn't think anybody could go wrong with mashed potatoes! But they were grainy and dry and looked straight out of a press. The staff was very friendly. The ambiance was great even if it got really loud once it started filling up.

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.

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.

My family and I used to love this place, but the prices are going up and quality is going down…read more Paid $10 for two standard drip coffees this morning, and they were incredibly watered down.

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

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.
