The line moved quickly and I got the iced tiramsu latte (highly recommend). It was so good! As for the interior it is on the darker side but they also have additional space as you walk down the back hallway which is lighter. The woman at the register was friendly and informative.

Bartender is very knowledgeable and asked for my milk preferences. Definitely would come back. Only downside I can say is the paid off street parking :) But, it's well worth every penny.

My friend and I stopped to get coffee before my nail appointment a couple of doors down. I got a…read morecold brew and she got a drip coffee which was double cupped because it was so hot. This location is really nice with ample seating inside and two tables to sit out side. The woman at the counter was really nice and we got our coffee quickly. Both of us enjoyed sitting outside drinking our coffee.

They seem to have Internet and lots of space for people to work inside. Not crowded on a Tuesday morning and we tried the Hazy Capp, slightly smoky and still sweet!

Great location to KU university and a place to study. Plant, tables, decor was great with big windows for natural lighting. Artist work embedded in front and workers were great, social, and engaging with guest. Few options for quick bite but not many. More of a coffee place.

I love their matcha, they truly have the best matcha, but I also love their coffee, overall an amazing place to visit. Their pastries are sooo good too specially the muffins they always have in the mornings (my fav: blueberry muffin).

My first visit to Noir Nails was based on a recommendation from a family member. I decided to give…read morethem a try for my birthday since I wanted to do something outside of my usual. I made an appointment but unfortunately was delayed so I tried to reschedule online. I discovered that you can't make any changes to your reservation within 2 hours of the service so I just walked in about 15 minutes past my appointment time and let them know what happened. They were very accommodating and set me up with a nail tech immediately. Sophia did an excellent job on my nails. I showed her a pic of my inspiration and she did her interpretation that came out even better than the original picture. Sophia was very friendly and we chatted throughout my service. The salon is very nice with plenty of table and pedicure bowls for services. They also have a coffee bar and offer a variety of beverages including wine, cocktails and refreshers. I did not partake in any of the beverages and it seemed like a cross contamination risk to have drinks available in a place where nail services are being performed. Others may enjoy this, it's just not for me. The price was a bit more than I normally pay for my nails, but considering the excellent customer service and the ability to execute nails designs, I would come here again when I'm wanting to splurge or for a special occasion.

This place has such an amazing vibe and plenty of seating to enjoy your treats and sip a beverage while working or studying. The pastries vary in sweet and savory and while both are delicious I loved the savory a bit more. If you are in the Lexington area do yourself a favor and treat yourself by stopping into this authentic Japanese bakery and enjoy delicious treats and amazing service!

We had a whole haul and honestly everything was so good and unique. My fave had to be the Carmel biscoff cookie mochi doughnut and the matcha bun. I even ordered a Ube matcha and it was pretty good. Everything was so clean and aesthetic inside. Service was great and they were so helpful! We will be back we didn't get a chance to sit and eat in since we were on the go.

We went for brunch this weekend. First time here and we both got the specials. I got the omelet…read morewith goat cheese and red onion. Husband had the bread pudding French toast. We also had coffees (regular drip for me and an iced latte for him). And I also tried the key lime gimlet. It's made with Castle & Key gin which is a favorite of mine. Ambience was very nice and the food was delicious. I asked for a side of bacon. I am very particular about my bacon and it came out cooked perfectly, crispy but not burnt. Service was fantastic and pleasant. The only criticism I had is that the red onion in my omelet was bitter. But no one's fault, sometimes onions are very astringent. Everything else was delicious and well made. Oh and we got the house made cinnamon roll for the table. This was delicious. So buttery and gooey with cinnamon. We will be back, maybe for dinner to try their dinner menu!

Char on Ashland is a must-visit in Lexington! We tried five items and here's the honest breakdown:…read more The Cinnamon Bun is a 10/10 -- hands down the star of the visit. It's enormous (easily shareable between 6+ people) and absolutely delicious. The Sourdough Breakfast Sandwich was a close second at 9/10, a great classic executed really well. The Banana Bread Latte was an 8/10 -- very good but ask for it less sweet. The Iced Cinnamon Bun Latte and Eggs in Heaven both landed at 6/10. The latte sounds incredible on paper but the cinnamon bun flavor didn't quite come through, and while the Eggs in Heaven dish itself is a good concept, my eggs were unfortunately not cooked to my liking. We really enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying our breakfast! Service was good, a little slow but they were very friendly! Overall a great spot with a lot of potential -- the pastry alone is worth the trip. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!
