Fruit cup
Mark R.

O'Hara's Bakery Cafe gets a solid four stars and that's for a very good reason. It's not the best breakfast cuisine or coffee that I've had but it's a memorable breakfast/brunch experience nevertheless. The ambience is quite pleasant, high tin ceilings, reminiscent of the old drugstores of years gone by. The staff is very welcoming and pleasant. We both started out with cappuccinos. Even though the writeup on the cappuccinos boasted a couple of espresso shots, it still come throughout a bit on the weak side for me. I ordered a Belgian waffle with pecans and my wife ordered a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel. The waffle was light and fluffy as expected with a good flavor, but but I guess I prefer a regular waffle with not as much air. The breakfast sandwich was tasty, but I opted for some hot sauce when I ate my half. In the past, we've had some of the baked goods here and they've been good. I think there's a lot of attention to detail by the owners, a commitment to good service and above average food at a fair price. We will be back.

Chocolate croissant
Allison P.

Get your New York style bagels in South Carolina! Several varieties to choose from. Legit bakery case with great tasting options. Biscuit and gravy was on point, tender biscuit with a generous amount of sausage laden gravy. Service with a smile dor dining in amd for to go orders. Clean establishment. Give them a try!

Cheddar cheese biscuit sandwich
Remy G.

PROS: - Usually breakfast options were available with a decent variety on the menu. CONS: - Overall taste was bland. - Bagels were dry. - Hot chocolate was primarily made of sugar rather than cocoa. - Service was slow and mildly attentive. FAVORITES: - None. TIPS: - Do not listen to the Google Reviews where it says the bagels are made-to-order. They are clearly pre-made in the case (see photo). OVERALL: - Just a bakery café with mid, unmemorable food. - Ambience was very boisterous, as there were many families with small children.

Bagel with Blueberry Cream Cheese

Delicious food and friendly service! Their french toast is very good, and the raspberry coffee cake they had when we went last was delicious. The inside is small but doesn't feel cramped even when it's packed. A really nice breakfast/brunch spot.

Sausage Cheddar Grits
Jason B.

The biscuits and gravy where great, my sister had the grits for the first time and she thought they were great! I had a bite, they were packed with flavor. We had a chocolate croissant which was good as well. This is definitely a solid breakfast spot. They have great coffee choices, and a menu that has plenty of choices without being overwhelming. Love the decor and the service was friendly.

Hot peppermint latte and buttered croissant

A wide selection of fresh pastry's and wonderful coffee and amazing breakfast atmosphere also very sweet staff!!

Honey Bee Latte by Colby

While they went through some growing pains initially, this has blossomed into my fave Lexington breakfast spot. Yes they have great specialty coffee drinks, but they also have a decent cup of drip coffee, something most breakfast places miss the mark on (blows my mind). The service is attentive and sweet. I always particularly enjoy chatting with Colby at the bar. My top fave foods here: -the cinnamon buns -yummy thick cut bacon -the corned beef hash is so filling and flavorful (I like mine with a runny egg on top) -the made from scratch bagels Also, if public restrooms stress you out, they have private, gender neutral bathrooms. Get a coffee to go and walk around the nearby shops or head out back to the beautifully renovated Virginia Hylton Park. Enjoy!

Turtle cheese cake
Kimberley J.

Kayleigh was an excellent server, she made the best Carmel coffee and we loved the Carmel turtle cheese cake. She loves her job and the personality.

Carrot cake

This was a great way to start off my birthday. The carrot cake was amazing, coffee was good, and strawberry cheesecake was good. Service was great and the atmosphere was lively, friendly, and all employees did good.

Caramel latte
Tori E.

I love coming here! It's my favorite place for coffee and bagels while I work. The service is usually good. All the natural light that comes through the windows here is amazing and makes the whole vibe feel nice and relaxing.

Now mind you there were a lot of empty tables with "reserved" on them at that point. Fast forward an hour later, because we didn't get a txt from them, we went in to see what the story was. They proceeded to tell us it would be another 30 minutes. Also the seats that had "reserved" on them were still empty! They said they would take care of us, and walked us over to the bar side, and told us we would have to stand at the counter to eat! I was fuming. The other three from my party walked out, while i proceeded to tell the manager this was extremely poor service! All he could say was they were busy. I pointed out the empty tables that were empty when we first walked in an hour ago and are still empty! They finally gave us one of those tables. We were out in an hour and guess what ...... there were still empty tables with "reserved" on them! Would NOT recommend this place to anyone! My suggestion is to go someplace else!! Like I said, our waitress was extremely nice and couldn't apologize enough.

Love the breakfast brunch here. The owners are so nice and attentive to their guests.read more

I can count on one hand how many times I have made a negative post such as the one ahead, but the…read moresituation my wife was in this morning is the type that I cannot be quiet about. This morning, while at Momma Rabbit's Nibbles and Sips, my wife, our barely 2 year old son and a friend were told by who I assume to be one of the owners, that if she was not able to "quiet" my child down, she would have to "take him outside" for fear that he make start to "rile other kids that were there up, and we can't have that". My son, who, again is barely 2, sat in his high chair the entire time, threw not one piece of food on the ground, and sat as politely as a 2 year old could, occasionally cheering "YEAHH" whenever our friend or my wife did something he found entertaining. YES his voice was elevated the few times he cheered, YES there were SIX other children of varying ages in the restaurant all making noises (as all children do), YES it is a very casual restaurant serving breakfast and lunch, and YES there was a grown man sitting at a table near them talking on the phone, on speaker I will point out, for several minutes. So to say that both her and our friend were shocked would be the understatement of the year. We have visited this restaurant on countless occasions, with friends, with my wife, with my children, purchased freezer meals from them, done our parts of supporting a small local business, all to be told to quiet our child down who was making far less noise than many other people were in this restaurant. My wife spent most of her young adult and adult career working in and managing numerous successful restaurants spanning an almost 11 year period. I am appalled, disgusted, and saddened at this clear lack of compassion, professionalism, and customer service. And we wonder why moms are fearful to take their children out in public these days. We will unfortunately not return to Momma Rabbits, ever.

9 ROMEO members ventured out to First Watch today, and for many of us it was our first visit. We…read morequickly discovered that First Watch doesn't believe in a shortage of choices. The extensive menu made deciding what to eat almost as difficult as deciding where to go for lunch! Our group sampled quite a variety of the menu, including three Bacon Maple Croissant sandwiches, three tacos, a Pecan Chicken Salad, two different orders of pancakes, and a bowl featuring barbacoa beef, chips and eggs. Our waitress, Meleva, did a great job handling our party of nine. She managed to put together a table for us and squeeze us in so we could get started. Fortunately, the table next to us emptied about 20 minutes later, so our temporary seating arrangement worked out just fine. There was one order that got messed up, but that one really can't be blamed on the waitress. There was a little miscommunication while we were trying to figure out what I wanted. She moved on to someone else, and when she came back around, I had completely changed my mind and ordered something entirely different! So, in this case, we'll give the waitress a pass. The Food Overall, the food was good, with ratings ranging from a 7.0 to a 9.5 on the ROMEO scale. The Pecan Chicken Salad received particularly high marks. The average ROMEO rating was 8.05, which translates to approximately 4 stars on the Yelp scale. Personally, I wasn't especially impressed with my Bacon Maple Egg sandwich. The egg itself was very good--fluffy and covered with cheese. The bacon was good, there were some nice hot jalapeños, and the croissant was decent. Then came the maple syrup. I like maple syrup as much as the next guy, but putting it on a croissant sandwich just didn't work for me. In my humble opinion, maple syrup belongs on waffles or pancakes--not in a breakfast sandwich! The maple flavor just seemed to take the sandwich downhill. ROMEO Verdict Food: 8.05 / 10 Service: Very Good Menu Selection: Extensive! ROMEO Rating Range: 7.0 - 9.5 Yelp Equivalent: 4 Stars

I had the Rustic Frittata which was even better than I expected it to be. The greens with it were just okay. Others in my party had the biscuits and gravy dish (which filled him up quicker that expected!) and another had the Trifecta with bacon and waffle, and a delicious Iced Mocha. That last dish, and accompanied warm maple syrup, prompted me to get a blueberry pancake, as I did initially want something sweet. Overall, I'm glad we came here over other options.

They opened at 11:00 and we walked in at 11:01, anxious to get our fish! The waitress was great and set us up quickly at a table and took our drink orders and brought us Guiness and teas. She heard all the chatter about the Fish N Chips and the next thing she said is "We don't have any beer batter yet, so no Fish N Chips! Immediately there were groans and moans. We had our beer and had come here specifically for the Fish N. Chips. She went back to check and returned saying "Yep, no beer batter so no Fish N Chips". Several of us joked that we may as well drink our beer and go next door to the Mongolian Yummy Stir fry place. We now started browsing for other menu items that we wanted. After about five minutes she came back out and said they could make up some batter but didn't know how long it would take. (How long does it take to stir up beer batter?). We said we'd wait. In the meantime two of our guys placed orders for the Scottish Eggs and Onion Rings for the table. They were both excellent. Three of us ordered the Fish N Chips and two had decided to go with the Bangers and Mash. One order for the Beef Eater sandwich, one Club Sandwich and one Rueben Sandwich. The food came out and the fish n chips were great. Not greasy, crispy, large haddock slice with great french fries. and green peas (which were barely luke ward, almost cold). The two guys with the Bangers and Mash loved it..Great sausage and the potatoes were excellent with mustard. The Rueben was great and also the Beef Eater. The waitress did a great job, checking on us throughout lunch. All in all, what started out as a questionable lunch turned into another fine lunch for the ROMEO group. The rating was 9.18 on the ROMEO scale...5.0 on Yelp scale. Only issue was something was wrong with the tea. It almost looked like water.
