    Really nice, quaint place. Friendly people and good food. Everything is made fresh throughout the day. A great place to stop for a quick meal.

    Very, very cute burger stop in Lexington. Had a veggie burger and a breakfast burrito (all day breakfast!) and both were delicious. Hardworking young staff is friendly and capable. Might be on the expensive side if you just wanted a bite to go, but worth a sit-down meal in their sunny and welcoming dining room. Great ambiance, would stop by all the time if I were local!

    Excellent food and service, great indoor and outdoor seating. My only beef with this place is that they seem to up charge for everything and don't include sides with their sandwiches.

    Donuts

    Great fun atmosphere and wonderful service. Ask for Sarah, she was the best and so helpful. Food was fresh and great flavors. Best fries ever. Will certainly come back!

    My husband and I loved our experience at Pure Eats! The cinnamon sugar donuts are amazing, the service was excellent, and our meals were delicious

    Fun place to eat with good food! However, the prices are a bit high for basic burgers, fries/onion rings, and shakes. The buns and sweet potato fries are delicious. The patties themselves are just okay and the shakes are a little thin and melt quickly.

    the food is excellent! the servers are friendly and efficient. Overall one of the best breakfast places we have been to... p.s the cinnamon raisin bagel is a must try

    A very small over cooked terrible burger

    Pure Eats is known to be a staple but this place has only disappointed me since moving back home and eating there again. First off the line up to the counter was very awkward and the employees seemed very annoyed I wanted to take my time looking at the menu. Mostly because everything that should just come on a burger or a hotdog is all up charged. I ordered a burger with cheese and fries and it cost me almost $15 which if the burger was any good or a decent size maybe I would be happier with it. My burger paddy was very small way over cooked and the bun was hard and dry. The only good thing we're the fries. Which I had to pay almost $5 bucks for. And the bag had barely any fries in it. The atmosphere in there is so stuffy and you feel like you're eating in a little kids playroom. Overall terrible place the breakfast I've had before as well it was so bad. Worst bagel that they bought probably frozen and same for the biscuits. Don't eat here they try to say the local beef is what is pure but it's not done properly to make it any good. DO NOT RECOMMEND!! You can see below how sad the burger was for this didn't even cover the whole bun

    This is a very nice find for donuts in Lexington. It has some parking out front and is within easy walking distance from hotels on Main Street. Six of us went in here on a Sunday morning for some donuts and bagels. THe donuts were excellent! They had a lemon one this day and I love lemon! They offer several different kinds of bagels including everything bagels... you can also add egg, bacon and avocado. We will definitely have donuts and bagels from here again

    Cheeseburger, French Fries, Chocolate Milkshake

    Diner like restaurants, that specializes in homemade donuts with breakfast served all day. We like to go for a cheeseburger and fries. Ambience is cool, old gas station with pillowed benches and red whitens blue decor. Prices are reasonable. Service is quick, order at the counter. My milkshake was a little thin, so ask for it thicker if that's how you like it. Great location in Lexington, close to Washington and Lee, VMI and downtown. Outdoor seating and beer and wine served too. Small parking lot and street parking... usually never hard to find a spot. Could be a line in prime times. All in all a good place for a quick casual bite.

    Donuts were a must! Food was okay, cold, so asked to reheat in which they didn't. But cute little place that I'd love to try again

I was hungry and not in the mood to move my vehicle from the hotel parking lot as street parking in Lexington can be a challenge. I arrived at about 9AM and the only other customers were 2 college age girls who never exchanged a word with the other since they were on their phones. I ordered a Hillel and a large coffee. The only available creamer was pumpkin spice which I'd never had in my life. What is a Hillel you ask? It was salmon, caper, onion, and cream cheese in a bagel for about 10 bucks, however either it was tasty or I was starving and would have enjoyed a spam sandwich. The college aged staff were reasonably friendly, accommodating, and my order was ready in a jiffy. The cafe is located on the campus of Washington & Lee University whose current president has a left-leaning agenda for its students. Not a bad deal for a quick meal if you're hungry. The portions aren't huge, but probably more in line with quantities more conducive to health, and prices are somewhat high. PS I don't like pumpkin -spiced coffee

The only thing was that the individuals taking our order on two different days and different people seemed a little indifferent. We tried the Purple Haze and the Honey Bee Lattes. Purple haze was delicious but the Honey Bee Latte had a lot of cinnamon. We also tried their Chorizo, Sausage and Cheese Burrito with salsa. Great flavor but there was a lot more egg and not enough chorizo. They also have a lot of pastries and baked goods. We did get a chocolate muffin which was very good. Overall I would recommend, it's a cute spot.

Unfortunately, a toasted bagel with butter had the butter on the side, and thus by the time I ate my bagel it was cold and didn't butter the way I wanted it to. Their chai was a syrupy but interesting flavor that emphasized spice more than sugar; at least, the first few sips were before I clumsily dropped it. No blame for them on that. Adding a parfait to eat later was a good decision that gave me energy for the day. They had a wide menu, and while I wanted a bit more from my bagel I could certainly find a quick and easy breakfast downtown here whenever I needed it.
