    Sweet Potato Casserole Latte
    Jaleigha D.

    The staff is very friendly and the sweet potato casserole latte is always amazing. Lee's is a great place to study!

    I'm not currently studying for anything BUT if I were, I would be posted up at Lee's Coffee! Lee's is a new concept located on the back of Workplay. It doubles as a coffee shop and a place to also get an adult beverage (cocktails, beers, etc.). I loved the staff! They were super nice and they even gave me a koozie! I sat upstairs during my brief visit. The atmosphere is comfortable /casual. Low yet substantial lightening, low music playing in the background - very relaxing! Since I WFH , I have added Lee's to my rotation. I look forward to trying their coffee drinks on my next visit. FYI: Street parking is the only option They have a drink happy hour period Outside seating available

    The staff here are super friendly and very helpful with the menu. There are so many great options on the menu. You cannot go wrong. Very creative drinks. The vibe there is very cozy and ample space to find seating. It looks like they have events late in the evening as well. I've only been during the day and it's been very nice. The bathrooms are nearby. The seating is very comfortable. There are some outdoor seats as well. The only con is parking is very difficult.

    The staff is great and drinks are really are spot on. They had a band and the sound was good. The set up is good for gatherings with family and friends.

    I've only been during the day when it's a coffee shop, but I love to study here. The drinks are always so yummy, the space is clean, aesthetically pleasing, and many places to sit and relax. They also have games and a listening room! The staff is always nice too!

    I've only been here for 5 minutes and I love it! I will definitely be back. The venue is so cute, I love the hidden menu in the menu and the staff is nice. I got a chicken Cesar sandwich, S'mores latte and miss Vickie's bbq chips. I came for a book club meeting and it was the perfect venue.

    The bar

    Stumbled across this place on my morning walk. They opened in May 2025 and are part of the Workplay facilities. During the day it is primarily a coffee shop. At night it is a bar which gives the place its main vibe. For those looking to get some work done, there are plenty of plugs. The music was at a good volume - white noise essentially. Street parking available with the app and even some free. They also have a limited menu of sandwiches. As I was the only one here (1st Yelp! review), the service was great. Not a lot else around so it's a bit of a destination.

    Lee's Coffee at WorkPlay is a new favorite of mine! I went mid morning to try it with friends and we all loved it. The inside is so cozy with dim lighting and lots of seating options, upstairs and downstairs. Their menu is extensive with so many different syrups to pick from, literally anything you could imagine. I decided to order off the secret menu and have it picked out for me. I got the smores latte and it was amazing. The toasted marshmallow on top was perfection. The cold foam was so thick, creamy, and delicious. Would definitely recommend to meet with a friend, do some work, or even grab a drink!

    Sweater weather
    Ashley M.

    I visited Lee's coffee and cocktails to try some of their holiday drinks and they were okay. I tried the Naughty Nog and the Sweater Weather. The naughty nog was a twist on typical eggnog. The sweater weather was supposed be apple cider based, but didn't taste like it at all. It was like an overly sweet juice. I would come back to try the coffee, but not the biggest fan of the cocktails. Overall I love the space and could definitely see myself getting work done there. We came on a night they were doing bingo, so that was fun too!

    Cute coffee shop, has plenty of setting but can get crowded. Love they'll way choose your order on the table.

    Key Lime Pie Martini
    Lucy T.

    There's a lot of nice options here at Lee's Coffee in Workplay. It looks like they are open in the daytime during the week and stay open late on Fridays and Saturdays. I can't have caffeine too late in the day, but it's nice to have this as an option for those who can tolerate it. They have a lot of cocktails here too. I came here for karoake night with friends and ended up getting the key lime pie martini. It was delicious!

    Bar-ristas were great! Young man did a phenomenal job on wife's latte and mine. So quiet and peaceful at 2pm on a Wednesday. Really cool coffee menu with coffee cocktails and regular bar and snacks!

    As soon as I walked inside the building, I was mesmerized by the comforting feeling this place has. It's a very open concept with two levels and outside seating. Staff were super sweet and helpful. The drink menu was extensive and they also had the cute hidden menus that offered a ton of seasonal drinks. I had a hard time trying to pick one thing. I decided to pick something simple off the menu: Iced Lavender Fog Latte with brown sugar and strawberry added. It was AMAZING! I will definitely be back to hopefully try something from the bar.

They have a food truck that I've heard wonderful things about and I ordered the chicken Caesar salad. It was almost like a chopped Caesar salad and it was just the right amount for a small girl dinner. If you like Parmesan cheese, this is a must order as they do not skimp on that! What was really nice however was that you couldn't tell the food was from a food truck. It was great quality and you are able to order from inside the bar and they deliver it to you. That was a great service. I can't quite remember which cocktail I got, but it was very delicious and at one point the server had even given me a new chilled glass so my drink would remain cold as I sipped on it. This is definitely a great date night spot or just a place to grab a drink with friends, definitely a little more upscale as we were there in the evening, so the lights were dim. I won't drop my rating as it's spring time in the South but I remember being cold immediately as I walked in- but that's typical for a lot of places.

It's a very intimate bar, galley style. The cocktails are great, they have all the basics and usually a smaller menu of fun options. My friend and I ordered a drink and sat down at one of the tables to take in the show!! They do the burlesque show on the last Friday of every month! It was so fun and the crowd made it feel like a safe space. I'm going to try to bring my mom and some of her friends for the next one! It's a great bar with comfortable seating, and on this night it wasn't so loud that my older, hearing impaired friends wouldn't enjoy it. Burlesque aside, this is a great bar for an intimate drink.

Moving on, I ordered two cocktails: vitamin sea and out of the office, I think. I explained that I don't like sweet - both were made perfect for me with less syrup. We were there for happy hour, which is $2 off all drinks. I also had their chips and dip (no kitchen menu). 2 drinks and chips = $29. I consider that a little steep for happy hour but this was for the experience. I'd recommend a visit.

They have multiple seating options; the first floor has booths that can accommodate smaller and large groups. The bar area is very inviting and fun to be able to watch your drinks being made and upstairs offers a more private area. When not seated at the bar they do have someone to come around to make sure you have what you need. The servers are very nice and tend to remember you, which is a great feeling. The menu rotates seasonally, which makes it easier to try new things. My favorite menu item so far has been the cheeseball that was on the menu around Christmas time. It had a great flavor served with crackers the only thing is when we came back after the first of the year it wasn't on the menu anymore. On my most recent visit I had the queso which also had great flavor, served with blue corn tortilla chips. When it comes to the drinks I like how on the menu they let you know how strong it is using toucans. Many of the drinks feature rum, but they do still offer some gin and tequila options. Everything I've had has been good and something I would try again. I would like to note that many of the drinks are fruity and can be somewhat sweet. At Christmas time they even had holiday themed drinkware which I felt was a nice touch. If you are not a drinker, they also have options for mocktails. Which has been great for me the last couple of months. I didn't care for the Phony Negroni, but I think Negroni itself might be an acquired taste

The menu varies so don't expect this menu when you go. The smash burger is dependable and good. The duck fries are pretty awesome, but they seem to be super enthused about their house seasoning, almost to the point of obliteration! It's good; They just need to be a little more judicious with it. Pictured are the noteworthy Brussel sprouts: "$10 BRUSSELS' SPROUTS Red wine balsamic glaze, Agrodolce pearl onions, scallions, fried garlic " You can also have them topped with grilled chicken for a few bucks more. Can Brussels be overcooked? Apparently not. These aren't as charred as the photo suggests. The red wine / balsamic reduction adds a lot of color to them. They may look charred but there's no burned taste in the flavor. I know, those poor little Brussels look overwhelmed, but they're not. They were good in my mouth and belly. Be careful not to spill any in the car on the way home, or the next day your car will not be very welcoming to guests.

We went very early one Saturday and were the only people in there -- but I won't hold this against them at all, as we are always early birds. The staff were all hanging out in a booth near the door. One bartender eagerly jumped up to help us, but the rest seemed pretty inconvenienced by our presence. Our bartender was great -- very personable and knowledgeable. That's about the only redeeming factor. The menus were tattered and sticky, bar itself was kinda gross, lipstick marks on our glasses, and our drinks were subpar at best. I believe the theme when we went was something about Italy, so there was a lot of potential for creative drinks, but they all seemed pretty uninspired -- think limoncello, Negronis, etc.. Also, some weird blue frozen one, but I can appreciate catering to every crowd! We probably won't be back.
