North Lime Coffee & Donuts - Maple Bacon Gluten free donuts - Donuts Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

We noticed North Lime Coffee & Donuts while visiting Chocolate Holler a day prior. It was late afternoon, so North Lime was already closed. But the next morning, Hubby was craving donuts so we headed straight to the Greyline Station location. First impression, the interior is much more spacious than I expected! Also, I really dig the music that is played. I inquired about the music, and they were playing Indie Coffee Shop Vibes on Spotify. There are a few cushy chairs to sit in, lots of tables, chairs, a few booths, and a tiny library with children's books about donuts. One wall has a colorful mural, and near one of entrances behind the coffee counter is a poser of Britney Spears with a speech bubble containing the bathroom code. Looking at the donut selection, there was one vegan option. I believe they always carry one vegan option with a rotating flavor. On this particular day, it was a Vegan Snickers Donut. It's a chocolate donut, two icings (one being chocolate), and crushed peanuts. The flavor brought me instand joy! I especially liked the little bit of crisp biting into this cakey donut. Yum! https://bit.ly/4hJoppT I also had a Earl Grey Tea Latte with Almond Milk. Not sure where they get their tea but I was wowed on that first taste. The barista who helped us was welcoming and friendly. I appreciated that she shared her favorites while we were making decisions on what to order. I wish we had an opportunity to visit a second day while visiting Lexington for the week. Will definitely come back the next time we're in town. read more

We decided to try this place based on reviews but left disappointed. The reviews that we had seen made it seem like a typical donut shop that would have a big variety to pick from. Unfortunately they only had about 5 different pastries to choose from and they did not appear to be freshly made. We ended up leaving empty handed. It was very loud inside and the layout was confusing. People were going different directions to line up so I'm not sure which way you're actually supposed to line up. This place is more like a Starbucks than a donut shop which isn't our vibe. read more

Great doughnuts, we tried several. Loved the yeast chocolate glazed. A few we tried were maybe overcooked? Still very good, and good coffee. A nice doughnut destination! read more

Only stopped in to get some donuts for takeout so can really only speak on them. With that said though, the donuts were fairly fantastic, great variety of flavors, solid texture, and just overall great donuts. The interior was clean, spacious, and inviting. The staff were incredibly friendly and service was prompt. Prices were also quite fair. Would definitely recommend. read more

Wow! I've been wanting to try this donut shop for awhile and I'm so glad I did. The creamsicle donut was light and fluffy. The coconut cream cold brew was delicious. The inside is a perfect atmosphere and I wish I had a place like this in my hometown to hang out. Lots of comfortable seating. There were so many flavors in the case - I'll be back to try more of them. read more

One may ask, "How can a guy give a donut shop five stars?" The answer is, just try North Lime Coffee & Donuts. We went there because we read that they make at least one vegan donut every day, but wound up getting some iced chai and some swag too while we were there. The swag is fun, and the chai absolutely delicious, but the donut--OMG--hands-down the best donut I've ever eaten in my entire life, vegan or otherwise. Imagine having your taste buds kissed by an angel. The vibe there is so chill, I was wishing I had time to hang out for a while, and maybe next time (because I'll definitely go back), I'll do just that. The service was so kind and friendly, too. It's just a welcoming place with outstanding food. read more

Pulled off the highway to grab a cup of coffee and thought I'd try a local brew. This place was so cute! They roast the coffee in house and my iced oatmilk pistachio latte was delightful. Both of the batistas were super sweet. I asked about their gluten free donuts and they apologized and said they only offer them Fridays. If I'm ever passing through Lexington on a Friday I will definitely stop in! read more

Trendy little spot in Lexington. I worked remotely here for a few hours when my flight home was delayed. Ended up grabbing a few donuts to sample, because how can you resist. Funfetti - meh. Just a sprinkle donut was hoping for funfetti cake on the inside. Oreo - great Funnel cake - pretty good Overall, coming from NJ/NY I have definitely had better donuts but the aesthetic here definitely hit the spot and the donuts were by no means bad, just not overwhelmingly good. I def recommend checking it out if you're in the area. read more

I tried one of the north lime locations in Louisville and wasn't super impressed but I thought I'd give this location a try and it was so much better. The donuts are definitely thiccccc but they aren't overly sweet. I got a chocolate glazed donut and it could use some more chocolate flavor with the icing but I enjoyed it. I also got an iced mocha which was delicious. The space itself is super spacious with lots of seating and plenty of people were there doing work. Nice redemption from my first experience! read more

I would give them five-stars, but some things have been happening that make it a little hard to do so. I've online ordered a few times, it shows everything's good to go, but I show up at my pick up time and either my items were already sold out, or they aren't completely ready. I do love the doughnuts and their rotating drinks menu is great (classic teas and coffee drinks are always solid too). The weekly flavor menu has been terrific to keep track of what's coming up (until I plan on eating everything, then it's terrible to my wallet)! read more

North Lime has multiple locations, but this one is actually on the northern part of Limestone and thus must be the namesake. It appears to be the crown jewel of Greyline station and offers a large interior seating environment and hot beverages, as well as a significant rotating donut selection, including a daily vegan specialty flavor and occasional GF options, which aren't easy to find with these sorts of desserts. And taste-wise, my vegan chai was not much different from my conventional chocolate glazed donut, with both being as indulgent as one would hope. It's not health food, but this is likely as good a donut as you can find around here. read more

Great tasting donuts and coffee! Had the original glazed, sprinkled, and chocolate glazed. Banana Pudding latte was great as well

One of the first places I visited when I landed in Lexington a few years ago. The regular donuts reminded me of fry bread, and the cortado was amazing. I couldn't believe that a donut shoppe could make a better espresso drink than all of the coffee places in town - but that's how Lexington is - the best places are never the ones that you'd expect. FYI - they make the best hamburger for "Hamburger Week," but don't belong to that event. They just make their own and aren't part of the advertisements the "official sponsors" are part of. They even catered a number of events for my students over the years, and it was always great. read more

North Lime was probably one of my favorite parts about visiting Lexington! My colleague and I stopped here for breakfast before a conference and it was a great choice! They have a variety of fresh, handmade donuts for reasonable prices. Their flavors were unique, but they also had some classics. I got a glazed, cinnamon sugar, and a chocolate milk. All were great. The staff was friendly, the inside was aesthetically pleasing and clean, and the store just had great vibes. Stop in for a donut or two the next time you're around. read more

Donut review: if I could give the donuts a zero I would. They were so tough and dense I don't know I could say they were even fresh. We tried the original, a cake sprinkle, funnel cake, and brown butter (maybe) all of them were inedible. I had to cut them with a knife and ate a small bite of each. We ended up throwing them all away. We won't return. Building was cool, staff was friendly- ish but all in all 1-star read more

Stopped in here to try their donuts while in town. First off, it was so cute inside! Very open and clean. You could tell the donuts were fresh and all the ones we tried were yummy. When I asked, girl working there recommended I try the lavender oatmilk latte. Let me tell you it changed my life (lol). I got it again the next day! read more

I was on a whirlwind Lexington trip and we had 24 hours to explore. We chose North Lime Coffee and Donuts as one of our stops. It was New Year's Eve and I called earlier that day to check the hours. A man with a friendly voice answered the phone and told me they were open until noon. So my friend and I drove down Limestone Street to find them at the intersection of N Limestone and E 6th Street, right across from Al's Bar. I couldn't choose so I ordered TWO coffee drinks! An 8oz Butter Coffee for here and a "Shakey Nate" iced espresso drink in a personal cup. I also got a French Toast donut which was delicious. If you like maple frosting, this donut is for you: a square-shaped pastry, amply frosted by hand and dusted with powdered sugar. The barista also told me this was her favorite donut. I wondered if the Butter Coffee was similar to a bulletproof coffee drink I tried in Chicago that claims to "boost energy and cognitive function," with a $9 price tag. Using that as my baseline, the Butter Coffee was creamy, not too buttery, and muuuch more affordable at $2.50 for a small 8oz. For those who love cream and use half & half for their coffee, this drink is yours to try. That's what I loved about this place: quality, made-with-love coffee and donuts that embodies the company's values of quality, ingenuity, compassion, enthusiasm, and generosity. All of this, without having a hefty price tag. Yelp nation, it doesn't get better than this! My friend ordered a cup of brewed coffee and a cinnamon sugar donut. We sat at the barstools looking out to E Sixth Street with an amazing view of the mural by Michael Burrell (2008). I experienced a little slice of Lexington in a short amount of time. It was the perfect way to close out 2018 and North Lime Coffee & Donuts made it even lovelier. Thank you! read more

If you are looking for great coffee, this is the place. Great donuts? This is the place as well. Unbelievable chai? Wow...that stuff could stop time it was so good. An excellent place for sure.

The threee stars really pertains to the vegan donut. This is a nice coffee shop. Seems to be popular as there was a steady line. I came for the vegan donut, black and white the day I visited. I would not come again, for the vegan donut. It was a dense heavily fried donut. I've had much better (Voodo Donuts, etc). The coffee was bold, rich. Wonderful they offer milk alternatives. Staff were friendly. read more

North Lime Coffee & Donuts does some pretty Legit donuts. That said if you're interested in a more substantial breakfast than you should check out someplace else. For those of us who are good with just donuts and coffee, these folks do it right! My only complaint is the donut selection is a bit limited. The donuts they have are super fresh and very tasty. Some of their daily special donuts are unusual, i.e., a donut with peaches and cream filling, but I tried one and it was really good! To sum it up - when I want something other than donuts and coffee I seek elsewhere, but when it's donuts that I'm craving this is a great place to head for. read more

Wow, Yelp definitely was on point for the donuts at North Lime. It was worth the 1-mile walk from my hotel and wasting my earlier morning Precor workout for me to try this local donut shop. I've frequented quirky donut shops in Portland, OR (Blue Star, Voodoo) and Seattle (Top Pot, Frost) and was curious how North Lime stacks up. I was bummed they did not have the Bourbon Butter donuts! I ordered two donuts and washed it down with an Americano. The Maple Bacon was amazing - the donut was soft and spongy which I liked, and had an interesting balance of sweet and salty glaze that just works. The bacon bits wasn't burnt to a crisp and had some slight chewiness thankfully. The Chocolate Iced Donut was one of their more popular classics. It was sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. I found the texture to be on the lighter side too. It was like eating a really good chocolate cake with super smooth chocolate icing. Friendly service and pretty quirky donut shop in Lexington. I would rate it 5-stars, as I feel it is one of the better donuts I've ever had. Their Americano was bold and smooth too. If you have a public library card, you can download a bunch of different books on your device from their virtual library. read more

OMG! I had to dig through my Instagram to share the slice/piece of heaven I had from here! Their giant, warm, straight out of the over, sea salted pretzel!!!!! With beer cheese! Ok let me talk about the dip first... my friends/colleagues at work were horrified that I'd never had beer cheese so they set out on a mission to introduce me to it. This was the second place they had me sample.. the dip was good... not great (coz I had better at a teeny weeny place later on!) But that pretzel!!!!' I can eat it all my life!! I tried their donuts too and they were good.. I found them a bit chewy but that's subjective. Their coffee is good too! read more

I've been here several times, and every time something is wrong with my order. Last time my cinna monkey donut was completely raw in the center. The donuts are just...not that good. This time they made my drink hot instead of iced. The drink was also not good, but by that point I'd already waited 10 minutes for the remake, so I just went ahead and drank it. I want to like North Lime. I keep trying it, but it's incredibly disappointing every time I go. I think I've finally given up. 10/10 for the ambiance though. I love the decor and the branding. read more

Donuts for Breakfast! When I am on the road, everything goes. Sugar and Caffeine helps giving me that energy to push through the day especially in Bourbon Country. I like how they have a display of what they offers for the day on display! I can actually see how every flavours looks like before making my decision! Should I go for the pretty photogenic ones? or I should stick with the brown looking one without the sugary glazing? The doughnuts here are sweet and heavy. One might argue they were just too much but why am I eating a gourmet donut if I did not go all the way? Drunken Apples and Creme Brulee both sinfully sugary and addicting. Yup, one is all I need to fulfill my breakfast needs! read more
