    Food and drinks were amazing. Love the atmosphere this little place offers. Cute little coffee/breakfast spot to come with family or by yourself with a good book. Will definitely be returning.

    If you're in lexington, NC, The factory is a must! What a fun concept of coffee and waffles. They had savory options too! If you know me, you know I got the one with fruity pebbles we all got a different waffle and shared so we could taste them all. 12/10 recommend!

    Oh to re-live this pleasant surprise experience again! My friends and I decided to make a trip to Lexington to soak in the local flavors, and after seeing some pics from someone of this place, decided to include it in our foodie journey. This was a GREAT decision. If you are looking for a treat that blurs that line heavily between breakfast and dessert, or just for a nice cup of coffee, the Factory has you covered. We really took the shotgun approach, everyone ordering a waffle from the menu and then doing things family style (after living that #PhoneEatsFirst life first and getting all the pics). It would be hard to find a waffle they've missed. From their special fruity pebbles waffle, to an incredibly beautiful blackberry waffle, and probably my favorite from a taste perspective... the nutella banana waffle... there was not a miss in the crowd. You just need to check out the pics and you'll see real fast how this place just hits different. This will not be the last time we visit the Factory, that is for sure!

    I loved this coffee shop located in Lexington (population 18,000). MENU AND DRINKS You can pick some good savory and pastries and cold and hot coffee drinks. I had the macadamia milk latte, and it was great. LOCATION AND PARKING This cute city is located in central North Carolina, 20 miles south of Winston-Salem. The Factory is located in a nice area with its own free parking lot. Staff was friendly and the vive is definitely cozy and friendly. I can't wait to come back!

    The service at this Christian based coffee shop is unmatched! They could not be more kid friendly and my daughter loves their kids menu items as well as their yummy waffles!

    Love ANutter and Gi Gis Fresh Squeeze
    Caroline D.

    The Gigi's Fresh Squeeze waffle was excellent. A perfect balance of warm decadence and fresh fruit flavor. Perfect for any fruit lover! The waffle was also beautifully fluffy with a nice crunch on the outside. The butter butter waffle was nice and filling probably could have gotten half a waffle as it was quite dense. The London fog was with notes of lavender. Amazing indoor and outdoor seating. Free WiFi is available. There is a restroom open to the public as well. The staff have classic southern charm friendliness. The ambiance is a hip Christian cafe.

    A not so secret small town gem although it was my first time visiting and we were very well impressed. Such a cute little breakfast spot with small town charm. They have a variety of coffee items and breakfast treats from cinnamon rolls, waffles, and French toast. My daughter got a BYO waffle with fresh strawberries, chocolate and caramel drizzle topped with whipped cream. I got the delicious wafflewicb with bacon egg and cheese. My husband got a redbull zinger which was refreshing. The Lexington legend was my daughters favorite drink - white chocolate, caramel and vanilla I believe. I can't remember what mine was called but it was good as well! Definitely going to make this a regular spot.

    this place is super cute with lots of options for breakfast. I just moved to lexington from Raleigh and NYC before that. I've been pleasantly surprised with all the good coffee options in this area. The factory by far had the strongest coffee and I tried the sausage gravy waffle with bacon and eggs. Will def be going back.

    Campfire Crunch and Cherry Blossom Soda Mixer w/ Pepsi
    Devin E.

    We tried the Welcome location. I got Cherry Blossom soda mixer with Pepsi which is exclusive to Welcome. My girlfriend got the Campfire Crunch! The owner was super nice! She even offered to make us something different if we happened to not like the drink. 100% recommend!! Let's support her so we can bring the waffles to Welcome!!

    Congrats to Lexington for opening another local business! Stopped in one morning to grab a coffee. Hoping to bring myself back to actually try a gourmet waffle when I have more time! I got the "shot in the dark." It wasn't bad! Good flavoring, and the rest of the menu looked amazing as well! They offer hot or iced lattes, also frozen drinks! The lounge area was cute! Perfect for a brunch date or solo visits. They have a play room for children, as well as outdoor games and seating. Customer service was a little slow, which I'll give it was only their first week of being open. Hopefully it improves!Can't wait to visit again!

    Waffle trays provided by the factory!

    Amazing workers, atmosphere, drinks and food! We recently found this place and decided to have our baby shower here. It was absolutely perfect and everyone couldn't wait to come back! Highly recommend for a coffee date, breakfast or small event.

I relayed this to Kaley and she told me she can make the juice more of a smoothie consistency! I asked Kaley to make me something tropical that had like pineapple and mango. She made me creation called pineapple paradise. It has frozen pineapple, orange juice, apple juice, plain yogurt, and honey, but she added mangoes into mine because I specifically asked for pineapple and mango. It is definitely a smoothie made to make you smile and that it did!!! When I walked in to pick up the drinks, I saw a bunch of people sitting at the tables enjoying themselves. I hadn't been in a while and they now have added a beautiful prayer wall. I admit I'm biased as I know and love the people that run this business. I was even honored to know Poppi himself. But they truly are a business that deserve the support and prosperity. The food and drinks are delicious, the people are so kind and warm, and the space is such a wonderful place to just sit and breathe, taking in God's goodness.

    I highly recommend!…read more From the food, the service and the ambience everything was a wonderful experience! We visited Saturday during brunch hour with a large party. So first and foremost, let's talk about the process of this eatery, you are expected to come in and wait in line grab a menu and then order at the counter. Once you order your food you will get a number to go with your meal then you will choose your seating area for larger parties, the staff will assist and support you with seating. Patrons are not following this process and they are saving tables as they enter which is extending the wait time in line. I ordered the chicken and red velvet waffle, and it was delicious! The chicken was fried perfectly and the cream cheese drizzle paired perfect with the velvet waffle! I didn't even use syrup. I ordered a cup of Parmesan grits on the side. I recommend that you try them. All paired with a pineapple mimosa. I am looking forward to returning. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

The Wafflery is a fast-casual breakfast spot with a surprisingly extensive menu--think waffles, biscuits, and plenty of other brunch favorites. It took me a minute to decide because everything sounded so good! Everything we ordered was flavorful and hit the spot. You can tell they don't cut corners when it comes to taste. They have two locations, and we visited the Rozzelles Ferry location, which was a great choice because there was more parking available. Just a heads up--both locations get pretty busy on weekends, but the line moves quickly, so the wait isn't too bad. If you're visiting Charlotte or just looking for a solid brunch option, this is definitely worth checking out

However, if you need to eat gluten-free due to a medical condition like Celiac disease, please be very, very cautious. Although this establishment claims to offer gluten-free options, there seems to be a concerning lack of understanding of what "gluten-free" actually requires. I asked detailed questions before ordering and was assured that my selection was safe. After the food arrived--and after I had already started eating--I was then informed that while the crepe itself was gluten-free, the filling was not. That kind of distinction should be clearly communicated upfront, especially when a customer specifically asks about gluten-free options. Unfortunately, the same situation happened with my daughter, who also has celiac. To make matters worse, we were charged for both the incorrect meals and the replacements. In hindsight, I should have asked for a manager, but we were there to visit with a friend and I didn't want to make a scene. Our total for three people ended up being over $80 with the tip I still left. I understand that eating out always carries risk when you have dietary restrictions, and I ALWAYS try to approach it with patience and kindness. We were traveling, so we didn't have much choice. But if a restaurant says they offer gluten-free items, there needs to be a basic understanding (by the wait staff AND the kitchen cooks) of ingredients and clear communication. What should have been a fun outing turned into a weekend of being very sick. Just something to be aware of if you have to eat gluten-free for health reasons - this is probably not the spot for you.
