Super friendly and pretty fast service. I went in and there was a huge group of people that ordered before me, I still got my food in like 15 minutes. The store is a bit smaller, so on a rainy day, the inside can feel a bit cramped. Nice weather means you can take advantage of the little patio space they have. I tried a womlettewich (waffle omelette sandwich) which was delicious. You can absolutely customize every bit of it, and that's what I did - croissant bread instead of white or sourdough, turkey, pepperjack cheese, and I added spinach too! The drinks menu is just as extensive, but I ended up trying the Peeps latte that was on special. It was toasted marshmallow syrup with lavender whip, but I didn't want it too sugary, so I ordered it half sweet. Street parking can be a bit hard, but since it's so close to Woodland, you might have some good luck! read more

Wandered in for the first time on a 67 degree day in February after walking in Woodland Park. I made my own mango spinach smoothie and had a chicken salad lettuce wrap. Great service, lots of options, reasonable price, and loved the hidden tables in the back. Will definitely return! read more

Great cold brew! I was tempted to buy a few of the smaller pieces of art and enjoyed chilling on the patio outside

This little coffee shop is so cute! They have a wide variety of beverages, hot, and iced, as well as a cooler of bottled drinks. Their food menu has something for everyone and I especially enjoy the breakfast sandwiches. Everyone is so friendly. It's a cute, cozy spot with outdoor seating available. They have a loyalty punchcard for both sandwiches and drinks. Prices are super reasonable: my medium black coffee, and egg sandwich was under $10 with a 20% tip. Great little local spot in Lex! read more

High on Art & Coffee - Cranberry Turkey Bacon Croissant AMAZING! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

I just stopped here for lunch today, and all I can say is WOW! Great little place...especially if you're artsy (which I'm not, but I do appreciate it). The atmosphere here can be described as cozy, vibrant and friendly. It is pretty much a sandwich shop that has a large selection of coffee and smoothie drinks. There are also various art items and paintings for sale. The cashier taking my order was great! All the other staff had bright smiles even as they bustled about serving customers their orders. For a place that seemed pretty busy, my order was completed fast! I got the Avo-Gobble on sour dough bread adding spinach, Swiss cheese and a little mayo. They really stack the turkey and avocado which I thought was great. You just know something is good when you grab the sandwich bag and it feels heavy. You know they didn't skimp on any ingredients. . The copango smoothie was awesome with mango and coconut. Quarters are a bit cramped in this little shop but there is some outdoor seating. A great stop and go for lunch! I already want to go back! https://www.highonartandcoffee.com/menu.html read more

This place is AMAZING! Tim & Ellie make everyone feel like family - I absolutely love them. My family and I have been loyal customers since they opened. If you're looking for the best coffee, sandwiches, treats, and original art/jewelry/handmade goods in Lexington, look no further - they have it all! Some of my favorites include the Crangerine, the Red Barn, and the Veggie sandwiches! All of the coffee options are incredible. They make the best Americano I have ever had in my life. If you haven't checked out this gem in the Woodland Triangle, please do yourself a favor and pay them a visit! read more

Ellie, Tim, & their wonderful staff are always a joy to see and talk with. The food is amazing so much so that it's become a Lexington staple for my friends and I. Try the a tangerine turkey club, or their hot Italian and you won't be disappointed! read more

This place is a hidden gem for those who aren't locals. Any of the food I've had has not been a disappointment. Always flavorful, fresh and wishing I could just stay and eat more. Coffee is alway delicious and they have a good selection of other drinks, as well. You can shop their local art while you wait! Inside seating available. *** Ignore the 1 star review from Bella M. Go check out her reviews and you'll see if she doesn't get special treatment then it's the most horrible experience of her life. We all know you can't please everyone and it shouldn't affect a wonderful business and their reviews. Hopefully one day she receives the red carpet treatment she expects and google blocks her reviews. read more

Lovely and unique coffee shop with some great food as well. Tried the Sally's Chai which was chai latte with pumpkin spice and sugar free whip cream. Loved it! Sweet and comforting. Then, my brother recommended the Womlette. Having never heard of a such a creation, I am glad I trusted him. It's an omelette made in a waffle iron. I added sausage, cheese and avocado and asked for It on a croissant. Chef's kiss amazing. Next time I would ask for hot sauce though, because Eggs and hot sauce just belong together. Also, the shop owner, Ellie, I believe was very warm and welcoming. read more

I love this quirky artsy little spot! They have a full food menu to complement the coffee menu and I was happy to see they also have ice cream. I enjoy their cute little garden area too, and the walk-up window is a very nice option. What really stood out to me is the homemade whipped cream that they make in house. I got an iced vanilla latte with chocolate whipped cream. It was delicious and I definitely recommend trying one of their homemade flavors. read more

High on Art & Coffee - Iced vanilla latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

I am so upset with myself...because I have lived in Lexington for 5 years, and this weekend was my first time visiting this spot, and it was amazing!! They have a large enough but not overwhelming menu, and if you don't see something you want from their staples (I find this to be impossible as everything looks SO good). You can build your own breakfast or lunch sandwich. The atmosphere and layout really captures Lexington's unique and quaint charm. You walk up to the window and order and are able to sit down and enjoy your food outside surrounded by a well protected adorable garden. The food itself was fabulous, the bagels were perfectly cooked, they added so much egg, tomato, and cream cheese! Don't even get me started on the coffee either... it was incredible, and cost less compared to chain coffee shops!! (Shop small!!) I can't say enough great things about this place. It really took me by surprise. Come, shop and stop for breakfast or lunch at this perfect section of town. You will not be disappointed, this is the perfect place to bring someone who's visiting lexington to show exactly what lex is all about!! read more

I needed a quick breakfast between clients so I called High on Art & Coffee for a womelet. The woman I spoke to was so kind and asked when I needed my order to be ready. I got a bacon, spinach and avocado womelet. It was $7 for a large portion. It's about what you'd pay for fast food but so much better! It was quick, delicious and filling. So much better than using your mobile app for a coffee shop chain and just as fast easy. I'll definitely be back. read more

High on Art & Coffee - Bacon, avocado and spinach womelet to go - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

A tiny four table place. Lots of charm, it would have fit right into the Haight Ashbury in its day. I had cappuccino and toast. They serve breakfast, lunch, and a little ice cream and snacks. The people working there are as nice as can be. They have a shop full of crafts and art items next door. It sits in a cool little old house. Only issues are size, and parking. The place limits down who can hang there to eight chairs. Not bad if you have one of the four tops, but you'll be moving on, especially on a cold day, if you don't. Parking can be a bit tricky. If you don't mind a bit of a walk, though, it's a fun place to hang and get a bite and a sip! read more

My mini me and I went on our weekly adventure after my being sick for 4 days. I got an iced coffee and mini me got a can of pop. The store is super cute and the Two people working there were really friendly. They were extremely patient while we decided what we were getting . The art work on display was very well displayed and to an uneducated eye like myself it was really good. I absolutely enjoyed stumbling upon this place. read more

I found this awesome little place during Coffee and Tea week and I am so glad that I did. I had their specialty drink for the week which was anything but a disappointment. I will definitely be back here with some friends and family. read more

Love love LOVE this place! Not sure what took us so long to get here but we made it. Spent the day in Lex- just moseying around and the time had come for the mid afternoon pick me up. You know when the afternoon hits and you still have some things you want to do but coffee or tea is ringing all the bells for you. Well that's where I was at, the hubs was still hoping we'd detour home but was also glad we stopped in. It's definitely a coffee lovers dream with the options- there's more than enough but not an overwhelming oh my goodness what do I get type feel. They serve a variety of tea, Italian sodas, pastries, sandwiches, desserts etc- I only wish I came hungry too! They have over 190 artists featured (a majority if not all local). So many great works- a lot of pieces are simply mesmerizing. The ambience is cozy and intimate but light and we loved it. For someone who's always on her phone (yep that's me) we chilled out a bit and were able to speak with the owners and just be- so many coffee shops are hustle, bustle, in and out and it was great to just sit and unwind a bit. We're most definitely looking forward to coming back for lunch one day soon. read more

They are not open. Owner is extremely rude! Sad. Every store around them is open and friendly. Owner sits at a tiny window. So sad. read more

Everyone was super kind and helpful, the food and coffee was delicious, and it was super reasonably priced to top it all off. Kind of shocked I hadn't been sooner, but glad I now have. Their salted caramel brownie is stellar!! Lavender latte is also highly recommended, and as a vegetarian tired of mediocre veggie sandwiches I'm happy to report that theirs hits the spot! read more

I remember coming here during the Gallery Hop and it was super cute! They have coffee and sandwiches! My friend ended up loving the place so much that she came a lot. The workers knew here. I wasn't impressed with the coffee but I think it's cool to have art and coffee here. The workers are really nice and friendly. I've enjoyed walking in here the few times I came. read more

Amazing local coffee shop with a HUGE menu of options! The owner's are lovely - mom, dad, and daughter run the shop. Ellie aka "Grandma" takes orders at the window and is very kind and patient. The art shop (located inside) is not open due to Covid. I am definitely returning, as my waffle-bagel was PHENOMENAL. They cook in a waffle iron because of their small kitchen space, and the flavors in my omelette were so good. You can park at a meter on East High, or in their small gravel lot. They have a cute back patio area that is not yet open, but will be soon as the weather improves. I'm excited to return and continue supporting this wonderful local shop. read more

I stopped in High on Art & Coffee on this beautiful April Saturday and had some great small talk, along with a delicious smoothie! The fresh baked goods looked very tempting in their glass case, as with all the ice cream flavors; but I went with a blueberry-strawberry smoothie with greek yogurt and almond milk. (Kind of wish I got a muffin to-go). For the smoothies there are a ton of fruit options to choose from, as well as peanut butter, avocado, and chocolate. Their menu also features lunch items as well- sandwiches and sides all reasonably priced. The people who run HonA&C are very welcoming and likeable, and the smoothie was delicious. I will be going back soon for lunch! read more

I love this place! It's connected to an art store that sells jewelry, trinkets, and gifts. The cafe section sells coffees, sandwiches, shakes, smoothies, and salads. Food/drink: Got a standard house coffee (pretty good but I'm not a coffee connoisseur so I really can't expand lol) and a build your own sandwich. Their highest priced food items are $7, and their lowest priced food items are ~$2. CHEAP. My sandwich was lovely *chef's kiss* Space: the dining area in the cafe is a little cramped, there are 4 small tables set up and a patio off to the side. The walls are covered with works from local artists. Parking: Street parking, 50¢ per hour. If you're short on change, they have some spare change! Service/staff: They are the sweetest people in our entire solar system. I sat here for half an hour and they were familiar with everyone that walked in. 10/10, give them a visit! Shop local :) read more

Tried and Italian soda and loved it. Nice atmosphere on the patio. Will be back again.

I really like this place! The couple who runs it is so friendly, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the food is excellent, and in many ways it felt like I was at my grandmother's house (who is no longer around). I felt emotional just sitting there eating, drinking, and writing because of how much like "home" it felt. It's a little cramped inside for the cafe area, but since I was one of 2 parties that ate there, it didn't really affect me. I also appreciate that all their tips go ya charity. I have only positive things to say about this place, and I look forward to visiting again/telling more people about it! read more

I've been driving past High on Art and Coffee for the past few months and finally decided it was time to stop in. They have coffee, pastries, sandwiches, and ice cream to choose from.

The Good: the customer service, coffee, lemon bars, local art. The Bad: nothing I can think of The Rundown: this is a small coffee and sammich shop where the service is amazing. The two owners are really nice and make small talk with their guests in a way that truly makes you feel welcome. Their coffee is delicious and they have a variety of great teas for you to try as well. Their breakfast sammiches are the perfect size and taste great, especially on a croissant. They have local art covering the walls and are looking for new submissions as well. The art is for sale so if you see something that catches your fancy it's yours for a small fee. The Rundown: this little coffee house is one that I plan to frequent whenever I'm in the area. The people are nice and the restaurant and store has a really nice vibe to it. I would strongly suggest giving this place a look. read more
