I feel bad giving such a low review but honesty is key. The place itself is great, love the vibes and the people are super friendly....unfortunately the coffee does not match the establishment. My latte looked just like watered down milk, and tasted just the same. If you look at other peoples reviews on here that post photos almost all of their drinks look like this. Perhaps they do certain drinks well but if you can't get down a latte that's not a good sign. I don't recommend it. read more

One of my very favorite spots when I was a student at Transylvania University, and I was thrilled it was still open and hopping when I was back in town this spring. I have such fond memories walking there from campus and soaking in their colorful, eclectic vibe. This time I ordered an iced chai latte with oat milk and sat outside to read. Lots of seating options in and outside, and there's a small parking lot and nearby street parking. Fun spot for a coffee meeting/date, studying, or for some quirky gift shopping. read more

Our VRBO was super close to this coffee shop and we picked it because they offered food (beyond pastries). Loved our bagels with turkey or ham and cheese. Really good! Service was friendly and fun. They dealt with our out of town longer decision making and questions. The space is compact. There's actually quite a bit of seating, but it's a popular place for gathering. We were lucky to get a table. As busy as it is with people and decor it is also cozy and you aren't on top of people. During warm weather they have a great patio space too. We enjoyed their shopping area and picked up a few buttons for book bags as well as notebooks. This space is all about inclusion and social justice. I appreciated it, including the names on various banners. A reminder that we still have work to do. And to take care of each other. read more

The atmosphere is really cool! I love the vibes!!! The first time I went, there was a line out the door so I figured it must be popular for a reason. I got a frappe because I know they tend to be on the sweeter side. It just didn't taste good. The apricot scone I got was super dry and flavorless despite having apricot chunks in it. Maybe it was a bad day? I went a second time and got a different frappe. It was better, but still kinda meh. Maybe the third time is the charm? Or maybe I just don't like the way their coffee tastes? read more

It's been years since I've been here so my friends and I met up for coffee . It really hasn't changed since I was there a couple of years ago. The people working there are as friendly as I remembered. It's still quirky and interesting as well. The coffee was pretty good . I had the caramel pecan turtle iced coffee . However my friend had just regular coffee and really didn't enjoy it . We did sit outside and enjoyed that . There's ample parking as well. read more

I've been going to here since I was eight years old. It's honestly gone down hill since then, not because of the food or the coffee. Coffee is kind of mediocre at this point and so has the food. But my issue is some if not most of employees seem very uppity and are very rude, to the homeless and customers that " don't seem to be on the same playing field as them".

Very cute and happy place with a colorful gift shop, tables to study and comfy sofas to seat. Great to hang out with friends; probably not the best place to study. It is a bit loud. Latte was good and extra hot, the grilled Brie and veggies was tasty, with lots of yummy olives and lemon pepper, very little Brie. The bread stuck to the aluminum paper (they need to use waxed paper) and came apart pretty quickly. Some bread was lost as it could not be separated from the aluminum paper, and I use a for to eat it. I will return for the coffee and ambiance. read more

There is lots of inside seating, and picnic tables for enjoying nice weather. You order at the counter and while they make your order, you can peruse the gifts and eclectic items for purchase!

I cannot say enough good stuff about this place. It is so cool, so eclectic, shouts out such a good message, EVERYWHERE. I could spend hours and hours inside of this shop looking at everything. The art is is cool, they sell a bunch of cool stuff, there is crap (in the coolest sense) all over the place. It is absolute sensory overload, but in the best way ever. Plus the drinks are amazing. The service is great. The staff was friendly. They are enforcing Covid regulations to the absolute fullest extent. You gotta check this place out. You just simple have to.

Third Street Stuff is my favorite place in Lexington. I lived here years ago and went here at least 3x or more a week. My job resulted in many one-on-one meetings, and locals always wanted to go here - and soon I did too. I loved the baked goods, coffee, tea, and lunch options. Employees are warm and caring - once when I was ill, they were like "do you want honey in your tea?" I was confused. They explained that honey helps sore throats, teaching my much younger self a valuable lesson! And I got lots of honey, and they helped me feel better - partly the honey, but mostly because someone in a new city was so kind and caring. I visited again recently during a road trip, and little has changed. The interior is still groovy as hell and the coffee & cookies are amazing. I bought two cookies for the road home and they were so good they did not last as long as I meant them to last - haha. I love Third Street Stuff, its drinks, food, and art. I would live in Lexington again just for the chance to go here every day! read more

Cool atmosphere and good coffee. It feels like a welcoming space one could hang out in to do work or meet with friends. From the looks of things, their menu changes often, so anything pictured in a review on a blackboard may not currently be offered. Some of the themes for featured drinks might do well with being a little more well thought out... "celebrate native americans," and "black lives matter" with influential individuals of each as drink names seems a little... exploitative? Disparaging? Probably unintended, and it certainly doesn't hinder their ability to make good coffee. read more

Love this place! Met a new friend for a coffee date and everything was fabulous. Cute, quirky art, friendly and welcoming staff, and excellent beverages. My chai tea latte was yummy and up quickly. The only delay was wading thru the 75 milk choices they generously offer to customers. A slight exaggeration but it makes the point about how focused they are on service and community. I even bought another drink to enjoy on my walk home. 10 out of 10 stars because the Yelp system of 5 just isn't enough. To quote a former California governor, "I'll be back"! read more

So I want to give Third Street Stuff a thousand stars for all the activism and community support they have offered over the years. Pat and her team are AMAZING! As for the coffee, it's a bit too roasted for my taste and the lattes are too hot. This is just my preference. I prefer a mild roast and a low temp latte so I can drink it. This place was one of the first places I saw that offered simple syrup for ice drinks. My favorite thing to do is to go in to 3rd street late at night and get a dessert from the case. Delicious. There use to be more of a gift shop/boutique in the store. They still have unique stuff for sale but not as much as before. There is still a wall of posters with local events. The knitters still come to "stitch-n-bitch". The Sayre kids still make there way after school. The locals gather for breakfast and coffee. This place is part a our community. read more

I was truly stunned by the incredible bourbon/whiskey selection at OBC.

The shear number of bottles on the bar will keep your eyes moving about and hard to focus on anything else. For food, I had the wagyu meatballs and couscous salad. Both were well sized and utterly delicious. I'll be back here again for sure

Every year, while driving between Chicago and Florida, we make a tradition of stopping in Lexington…read moreto take our friend out for dinner. This visit marked our third time at OBC Kitchen, and once again, it did not disappoint. This time we experimented with timing and booked an early reservation at 2:45 pm on a Saturday. We crossed over into the dinner menu and discovered something wonderful: the service and ambiance were even better than the busier evening hours after 6 pm. The staff was exceptionally attentive. Every dish and cocktail option was explained thoughtfully, which I appreciate, especially because I enjoy cocktails that come with a bit of theater. When drinks are presented with care, described well, and executed beautifully, the experience becomes part performance, part craft. Here, they delivered perfectly. The food, as always, was superb. We shared several chef selections including Beef Tallow Fries, Southern Grouper, Bacon in a Glass, and the Cola-Braised Short Ribs. Each dish was rich, flavorful, and confidently executed. Dessert continued the celebration with the Churro Cheesecake, and to our delight we were also gifted the Warm Buttermilk Donuts, which felt like a small act of culinary generosity. In a departure from my usual Manhattan and Old Fashioned flights, I tried a Bloody Mary and The Cure, both excellent and beautifully balanced. At this point I can confidently say OBC Kitchen is one of my favorite restaurants in the country. The consistency, creativity, and hospitality make every visit memorable. A special thank you to the team who took care of us on Saturday, March 7th, 2026. You elevated an already wonderful experience and made it even better than usual.

The hearty Vegetable soup was at best a thin broth with a very few ingredients/ few vegetables ( a few potatoes and carrots only) here and there in the broth. Burgoo was thick and delicious!!! My chicken salad sandwich was made with a chicken salad that was so thin with too much mayonnaise and that to be cut up with fork and knife to eat. Roast beef sandwich was good. Lunch was $35.00 for two with no drinks! We were very disappointed

We got sat in the thirsty fox which neither one of us had ever been to before . The tables were well spaced out so it didn't feel like you were crowding the next table. The one thing my friend noticed was that our table felt slightly sticky but she also touched the next table and it was the same . I don't know maybe it's the finish on them. Nevertheless we both enjoyed our lunch . So sorry to see it go. Our server was friendly and engaging . I ordered the turkey Rachel which is like a Ruben and it was so so good . I also got a side of shoe string French fries and those were good as well. My friend got the chicken tenders which came with a side of coleslaw (she's not a fan of any coleslaw) and shoe string French fries as well. She said that the chicken tenders and fries were good and she was happy with them.
