An absolute gem. I could go on and on about how incredible this little business is, from the incredible selection of teas supporting woman owned businesses, to the fantastic customer service, not to even start with just how good their baked goods were, but I am going to attempt to keep this relatively brief. Walking in you will find a cozy yet bright fun space filled with charm including even a little mouse door and so much attention to detail. In the case there are baked goods that apparently rotate on a weekly basis except for a few staple items, but everything we got was absolutely incredible (the chocolate pecan pie bar was to die for). In the corner there are some items for sale along with all of their teas, and while we did not drink any there we did purchase some to make ourselves later (they allowed us ot smell the varieties they had and they were all incredible. Also, they apparently try to purchase their teas from woman owned businesses which is just fantastic) In addition there are a couple of rooms with tables, fantastic to sit down and enjoy tea or treats, and apparently they even have a high or afternoon tea that you can sign up for in advance which I will need to do at some point because that sounds so fun. The staff were all so incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and just fun to talk to. Even the owner popped up and told us all about it and was just overall so full of incredible energy. Would highly recommend and will absolutely be returning in the future! read more

Five star review for the bakery options, fabulous service, and lovely space! Local and woman-owned, this adorable spot has a wonderful selection of baked goods that distracted me from my intention to buy tea. A welcome distraction! Fresh, flavorful and an excellent combination of favorites and creative new items. I will be back many times and the next time I will book a time for a tea party! read more

A very deserving 5 star review! Afternoon tea was such a fun experience. The service was excellent and we loved the hostess! She had the right balance of checking on us/making sure our needs were met, but also allowing us to just chit chat and enjoy our time there. We really enjoyed being able to pick out/try several teas from the unlimited options! The lemon poppyseed scone and s'mores cookie were so so so good as well as the cucumber dill sandwiches! We left with full bellies (and a to-go box) from the delicious treats and several pots of tea. Highly recommend!!! read more

Great experience at Olive's apron today for my friends baby shower tea party. The place is adorable! Everything girly and cute! Just how you would expect a tea shop. For the tea we each got to select a tea from the menu and were treated to a wide selection of dessert, sandwiches and biscuits/scones. The pistachio blackberry cake was my favorite dessert. For the tea I tried several but I loved the passion fruit tea! Would love to come back and try even more teas and try some the delicious looking cookies from the bakery case! Highly recommend setting up a tea party here! It was so fun and such a unique thing to do right here in Lexington! read more

Friendly, committed to the community, and excellent goodies! Creative with some familiar favorites but great concoctions too!

This shop is so cute!!!! The treat case is filled with amazing things but there's so much provided during the tea that if you get something from the case, you'll need to take it home. If you do not eat everything during the tea, they can provide you with take home containers. The hostess also checks on you quite frequently so there's plenty of opportunities to add things on or switch out your tea. If tea isn't something you are crazy about they provide other beverages as well. read more

Discovered this adorable place while in Lexington having brunch across the street at Rosemont Station. We were greeted right away from the nice worker. She told us all about the place, and that they change their menu weekly and to check them out on social media. Looks like a fun place to have tea parties, baby showers, etc. All of the baked goods looked so good! We got some Taylor sugar bars and they were divine! read more

Talk about a hidden gem, a friend and I visited for the first time yesterday for a Tea. There are almost unlimited types of tea and the pastries were delicious. read more

I recently moved back to Lexington after a couple of years living out of state. I'm having a great time getting to know my hometown again and discovering new businesses. After searching for a coffee shop that served tea, I discovered Olive's Apron. To my delight, it's an actual tea shop/bakery! After visiting the website, I learned that they had seating inside and decided to take my laptop and work while I enjoyed my tea. Upon arrival I was warmly greeted when I walked in. As soon as you enter, there is a bakery case in front of you with a wonderful assortment of baked goods. Everything from cookies and brownies to scones, biscuits and coffee cake. It was hard to narrow down my order with so many options. I settled on a piece of coffee cake and a sausage & cheese biscuit. Then I proceeded to check out the tea menu. Again, there was an assortment of options to choose from. Herbal tea, black tea, decaf, you name it. I settled on a passion fruit tea that was absolutely delicious! Tea is offered by the cup or pot. I went with a mini pot, and there is also a full pot option. (The mini pot yielded about 3 cups of tea). Once I completed my order, I personally chose my tea cup from an assortment on display. I then found myself a seat and setup to work. (They have free WiFi!) I chose a seat at a small table which was perfect for working, but I did observe that there were other sitting areas with couches for a more relaxed atmosphere. The room I worked in was so cute! It was pink and so cozy. My order was delivered to my table shortly after I placed my order. The sausage biscuit was excellent as well as the coffee cake that I had boxed for later. I stayed a couple of hours and got a lot of work done. The stream of customers was steady, but never distracting. I never felt rushed or hurried to leave. I plan to add this business to my rotation for the days when I want to work outside my home office. I also want to go back for morning or afternoon tea. I love a good tea party! If you're a tea lover like me, I highly recommend a visit. read more

This is our second visit as they were having a Hocus Pocus themed high tea. There was certainly enough food and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They have some really good teas and it's as much tea as you wish. If there is one thing I would change it's to offer more savory options and less sweets. Also, the savory items were both cream cheese based. Perhaps something like a chicken salad or pimento cheese spread would be welcome. Not that anything we had was bad and they should get praise for creativity but more savory options would be nice. And once again TripAdvisor has no idea this business exists. read more

I would recommend Olive's Apron to anyone needing a cute and fun spot for a small even or to grab a treat with friends. I hosted a bachelorette tea party and it was a hit. We all got our own pots of tea and a giant spread of snacks and treats. The reservation process was easy and owner extremely accommodating when plans changed. I will definitely be back. read more

I booked an afternoon tea for two as a Mother's Day present for my mom. $25/person (normal price for tea) and prepayment was required for reservation. The decor was super cute and downright adorable. The tea was very good even if it was made with tea bags and not loose leaf. The tea tray was adequate but left something to be desired. Small things could've made the experience so much better. Like cutting the crusts off the sandwiches. It was very heavy on sweets with not enough savories. The utensils were wooden and while I like the compostability, they were difficult to eat with. Cloth napkins, real silverware and sugar cubes instead of sugar packets would've amped up the specialness of a tea. read more

BEST SCONES !!! I have yet to set foot in this amazing café. But as a school teacher who has received gifts of goodies from Olive's Apron I can say that their pastries and especially their scones are some of the best I've had. Can not wait to finally stop by their store front read more

Such a cute and charming place! Went out for a girls day with my mom and daughters, and this was such a treat! Our tea party room felt like we had stepped into Alice and Wonderland. The ladies were so helpful in helping us pick out our tea, there were so many to chose from! My favorite was the peppermint tea. They brought us lemons, honey and milk for our tea. The finger sandwiches were perfect and the cookies, cakes and scones were delicious! If you have girls you definitely need to experience this, my girls are grown but this made it feel like they were little again read more

Incredibly disappointed sadly. Paid for a tea reservation for myself and a few friends of mine and was not worth the money. The workers kept walking in and out of the rooms and seemed incredibly rushed the whole time we were there. We felt ignored most of the time, and also for the amount of money we paid you would assume you would get to pick the sandwiches/desserts we got, and get a good amount of food, but no. Most of the food was not something I or my friends would normally eat. The tea was not good at all, I tried multiple different ones too. All in all won't be back, there is another tea spot in Lexington I found so I will be trying there instead next time. I kind of feel like I got ripped off, is what it is I guess. I thought since this place had so many good reviews that I would really enjoy it but that was not the case. I believe if you go there and buy some of the food and sit and eat it there instead of paying for a tea reservation it would be better. read more

So dang good. I have not had anything I dislike here. The biscuits are stupid good. They change their menu weekly and some of the items are sooo creative I've never seen them anywhere else. Whenever they do cupcakes with a cream cheese icing I stock up so I can eat a bajillion of them. read more
