When we visited the Ark Encounter, we found this wonderful cafe. The staff were wonderful, the selection great, and the food awesome. It ended up being our to go place for the few days we were here. read more

Yelp directed me here. As always, Yelpers were spot on. This place is a donut oasis off the interstate. The Texan doughnut is as big as my head. but the star of the show is the maple iced donuts with nuts. Great staff too !! read more

Beans - Look for this sign!!! - Delis Near Me - Dry Ridge, Kentucky

I have loved coming to Beans since they started in the old Little shrimp . I use to live across the street from these guys .. every morning I would make a doughnut stop. Great doughnuts and food . The owner is super nice and I love his faith. Good people read more

SO thankful we chose this place for lunch after visiting the ARK! GREAT FOOD, YUMMY COFFEE...Bean Bites (donut holes) where excellent...soft and not overly sweet! The staff was friendly and efficient. Super clean...beautiful place! Wish we didn't live sooooo far away...we'd eat here often! Husband had the Rueben sandwich and I had the Ham, Egg, soft Brie cheese sandwich + avocado - both were great! read more

Good donuts! Great variety of flavors. They are always moist inside and literally melt in your mouth. I always stop for a dozen or two. The sandwiches are good but a bit pricey. To get a full lunch it will cost almost $10. There is nothing really special to their sandwiches. The salads look good though and big! I have never had their coffee either but it is Caribou. I love the decor. It is modern and clean. The bathrooms are beautiful. I especially love the big porch. Donuts outside on a nice day would be fantastic! I do love this little spot. read more

We all met there before going to the arc. LOVED the food and patio seating for a relaxing lunch. Food was so good on the way back home stopped to pick up a chocolate cream pie. Worth every calorie! Delicious!!! read more

Great local place. This is what America is about. Great food, great people, great values.

Stopped by on the way to Lexington and fell in love with the flavors! They're sandwiches are big and meaty with the most incredible sauces AND donut holes on the side. The staff was super friendly, too! read more

I went here when we were in town for lunch. Excellent service, clean establishment and the food was divine! Only problem was deciding what to actually eat. Try it. read more

First the donuts. They look so good I could eat them all. Other than that he restaurant was clean the staff were friendly. A great place for locals as well as travelers. read more

Wonderful find! Great service and the food and milkshakes are perfect. I am traveling for work and was staying on the other side of the interstate and pulled up yelp to find somewhere to eat and I am very glad I did! Wish it was closer to home. If you get the chance to eat here please do. read more

So good!! Tried it for breakfast while traveling and it was delicious! They had a good sized menu and everything we tried was delicious. Fairly cheap too. I would definitely recommend and am sad they do not have a Beans near me! read more

Great fresh breakfast items, love this place. We are from out of town and decided to stop in and we are not disappointed, very reasonable pricing. read more

Great little lunch stop as we were headed to the Ark! Very close by. I love finding a new restaurant with character. This was a hit with myself and my friends. Portions were generous, price was good, and taste was superb! I ordered the chipotle turkey panini and made it a combo. LOVED IT!! Friends ordered club sandwich and a chicken bacon sandwich and all were very pleased with their meals. So much so that I purchased a loaf of their sourdough bread to take home. I highly recommend making this a stop if you are in the area. If I'm ever back that way I would love to try their breakfast menu! read more

If you were passing this place you probably wouldn't realize they had espresso, but they do. The name made me think they might, but I called just to make sure before getting off the highway. They also have donuts, panni sandwiches, soups, etc. I specifically stopped for an espresso, so I can't tell you what the food tastes like. It was around 9, so it was very quiet with only one customer and the only place open in the vicinity with espresso. I requested decaf, which they don't keep a regular grinder for, but the customer that was there happened to know the owner and called them to find out what they should do. Thankfully they do have a secondary grinder in the back. I am assuming that no one has requested decaf in the past, so that is why the barista wasn't aware of it. She was really sweet and it was because of her pleasant attitude and the fact that I felt sorry for her that I didn't walk out. I am giving this place the fourth star solely based on the pleasant staff and the helpful customer. I realize the focus at this place is more food vs. espresso, but if you are going to have an espresso machine your barista needs to be trained accordingly. My shoot was pulled in less than 7 seconds (not acceptable) and the barista did not know what Breve meant. Having worked in a coffee shop I will be the first to admit I am an espresso snob, but this time I let it go because the lady was so sweet I wasn't going to give her a hard time. With that being said I WILL go back because I think this place could be even more than it is as long as the owner steps it up and gets his baristas correctly trained. read more

A beautiful new local business, the bakery selection is massive with unique and fun options. Other than the bakery the sandwiches are well crafted with plenty of individuality, making them stand out from the normal dishes we've all come to expect from restaurants in general. I wish I could leave 5 but seeing a glove be dropped, then picked up and used to make my sandwich cost a . I will definitely be back more and more, as the food is 5. read more

Stopped in for coffee and dessert after dinner while visiting Dry Ridge. You Yelpers rated this one high, so we just had to give it a try. I must tell you, this is an OASIS in a desert of chain restaurants and fast food familiarity. (Not that those are all bad, but we like to try unique spots while traveling.) The pastries/doughnuts all look awesome, and the delicacy we tried -- a pumpkin spice doughnut with cream cheese frosting -- was superb! All bakery is homemade on the premises daily, while most of us are snuggled in our beds. Coffee is tasty, too! We'll be returning for one of those awesome looking sandwiches at lunch tomorrow before we leave town, and I may have to revise my rating to a 5-star. read more

Nice off highway local quick spot. It has good options all day but for breakfast has quality at an affordable price. The bacon, egg and cheese burrito is best with an extra egg and pepper. It's a little too cheesy for my taste but under $4, you can't beat it. Coffee was smooth but flavorful, self serve but they had espresso if you're in the mood for that. The doughnuts are the way to go. I had a maple one, and it melted into pure joy. If you wanna go all in sit inside its table section and dip it into your coffee. I'd recommend this place to any traveler in the area for a tasty pit stop. read more

Really fun place for breakfast and a wonderful assortment of breads and pastries. Food and service was top notch.

Excellent food and good service! Great place to stop when traveling through! Kids meals were substantial enough that we had no one that could finish everything and they loved the "Dirty" chips! read more

Tasty food, nice service, clean. . In the area for a wedding. If I'm driving through here I'll definitely choose this over any of the other fast food on this exit. Also lattes are good, suspect that my donuts are just as good. Got the chicken fajitas. read more

I've only been here once and there was a good selection of food with excellent baked goods, great service and atmosphere.

We ate here after going to the Ark Encounter. We enjoyed the food but the service was lacking a bit. Stood at the counter for several minutes wanting to place an additional order and was never acknowledged by any employee. Chips came with the kids' meals but were not brought out. Just minor things but they added up all in one visit. read more

What a gem! I can't say enough great things about this restaurant. Everything my family got was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed by philly sandwich and my husband liked his Cuban. Every meal was served with three "Bean Bites" which were little homemade donut holes! What a nice surprise. My son also got a donut that puts Krispy Kreme to shame (and I love Krispy Kreme). They also had really delicious looking ice cream treats and coffee items. I look forward to coming again when we are in the area. My family was already deciding what they were going to order next time. read more

Most sandwiches and salads are fresh and have wonderful flavor and presentation. Don't order the fu-fu coffee drinks (frappes, lattes, etc) never had a good experience. The frappes are always watery. I don't think they take enough time to really perfect a drink before offering it. All the baked goods are yummy. Donut holes are a great choice! If you're a coffee snob, the drip coffee is one of the best (caribou brand). If you get breakfast, the "El Gaucho" is a great option, fresh guac! read more

Enjoyed this place very much. Was on our way through delivering a harley and i Yelp'd.. Had to try!!! We had a philly and swiss panini and it was delicious. The coffee is very good and very good sweet tea. The lady even went to get me a special blue beans cup to purchase because i wanted a souvenier. Very great staff. Thank you for the experience.. This is a must try place.. Oh and the pastries and muffins are to die for.. We enjoyed it so much we purchased the long haul lunch to go for later ..you get a loaf of bread, 1/2 lb cheese,1/2 lb meat and some pickles and condiments and BEAN Bites ( donut holes) i call them in Missouri lol.. Great find read more

Beans - Delis Near Me - Dry Ridge, Kentucky

See all

Awesome place. Friendly people. My family enjoyed being able to relax in a place that appreciated liberty. Thank you from the Hoover family.

Always impressed with the freshness of the food. The sandwiches are generous portions made with breads baked fresh in their kitchens. Encourage visitors to stop for food and friendliness. read more

Excellent customer service and I loved the layout and vibe of the decor!! The food was pretty good, too.

This is our third time eating at Beans in two days! The coffee is great, the donuts are deliciously fresh, the staff is friendly, and the sandwiches are tasty. If you live here, or you're just here to visit the Ark Encounter, I highly recommend checking this place out! I would post a picture but the food is so good that we ate it up before I could take a picture. read more

Small sandwich shop that was worth the trip. Right off the highway. Very friendly. Sandwiches were good and so were the cookies and brownies. Comfortable, calm setting. read more

Stopped in for ice cream while on vacation and it was great, as was the service! Would love to stop again and try out out their actual food as I'm sure it would be just as good. read more

This is a definite must stop! They have delicious sandwiches, donuts (pastries), ice cream, etc. I especially was appreciative that they were willing to substitute the salmon in the salmon avocado wrap for turkey as I'm not a big fish eater and the wrap was divine! This would be a great place for lunch or breakfast or to grab a coffee and read on their couch. The decor and atmosphere was fresh and modern. Highly recommend! read more

One of my favorite businesses in the world in Kentucky. Found this place by random one day going up to Cincinnati from Lexington. A buddy and I were taking the back roads as I was doing some photography on our way up to Cincinnati and kind a got a little hungry and stopped in on this place. I've been here multiple times now and each time I'm never disappointed on how amazing the service, the food and the atmosphere is. This time I land of getting something from the breakfast menu which was delicious and simple. I just went with a biscuit egg, cheese and sausage. I also got a fruity pebble's doughnut which was kind of cool to get. As always I enjoyed each bite and the food is always nice and warm when it comes out. This is definitely a staple for me when I'm in Kentucky on my way to Cincinnati. I would highly recommend coming here for breakfast or lunch and even grabbing a few of their bakery items since they sell bakery items also. read more

Beans - Delis Near Me - Dry Ridge, Kentucky

I saw an interstate exit information sign and decided to give this place a try on my travels up to the north. Honestly I was hoping for a cinnamon roll or a sticky bun but they did not have either. Although slightly disappointed I decided to try 2 donuts; first maple glazed bacon and then I asked for a chocolate frosted, woman said chocolate glazed I said yes. Did not know there was a difference but I guess there must be. Regardless both of the donuts were quite tasty. The instant you walk in the door they ask what you would like. For being an out of towner it took me a second. I will stop by again as they appear to offer full breakfast as well as the pastries. Overall good experience would just like to see a cinnamon roll or sticky bun with pecans or nut of some sort. Nice size seating area. Outside pet friendly deck. Inside view window seat American Flag down the road. Nice way to have a quiet meal and be reminded of the freedoms we enjoy. read more

Good tomato bisque. The club supreme was just enough. The chicken salad was very good as was the chicken and wild rice soup.

Great food! I shared my MIL Club... She shared my Reuben... even yummety. We got a Chocolate covered Texas sized donut and shared it with the family. It tasted great. Owner came out to check on us and was very friendly. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

This was a great alternative to the boring chain restaurants that are rampant on 75 south between Cincinnati and Lexington. We stopped by rather late (after 8pm), so there wasn't much left in the donut cabinet, but I can say that the sandwiches we all ordered were delicious (and I love that they came with a pickle and 3 donut holes!) We will definitely be stopping there again any time we head south on 75! read more

3.5 Good sandwiches (got Reuben & Philly Bleu) Not super patron friendly. The girl at the front was pretty perky, the rest barely made eye contact. Which is fine, because they were busy, but 7 people working and one at the check out made for super slow ordering. The line was long and very slow. Want a refill? Back to the end of the line. Want one extra bag of chips? End of the line. Want extra mustard? Face the woman at the Pick Up. You should be able to get a refill or drink to go at pick up, especially since the drink fountain was there. It seemed like they had enough workers, just not enough up front. We came because of the Yelp reviews. Would return for another Reuben but would hesitate because of the slow service. The environment was great. Very updated, comfortable. Texan donut was very fresh. read more
