This is a good 10 star out of 5 stars restaurant Very nice old time atmosphere…read more Very nice staff. Good selection of foods. Very clean and well appointed dining room. Casual dining - some people were dressed up - I wasn't, but I didn't feel out of place. The Tenderloin meal was recommended, and I'm glad it was. Cooked perfectly. The portion was more than I needed, but I didn't leave hungry. The bill was a bit high, but the experience was great. I'm ok for paying a bit more for this quality. I will probably return when I'm in the area. I recommend this restaurant for an occasional great meal for a very special time. I've experienced many "high-end" restaurants- this one is in a league of its own. It is by far the very best in Kentucky.. There are other great restaurants with great food and nice atmospheres that I enjoy, but this one is special.

Historic Boone Tavern, located in Berea, Kentucky was built by and remains owned by Berea College…read more The restaurant and menus were recently renovated and revised. The entire restaurant is decorated with art and crafts devised by students who work at Berea College. For lunch, I had a delicious catfish Po Boy sandwich with broccoli raisin slaw. Dessert was warm bread pudding with Kentucky bourbon sauce. Each meal is accompanied by an individual serving of the Tavern's famous warm spoon bread (a kind of corn meal soufflé) with butter. Dinner was light (still full from lunch). Kale sausage soup, hot deviled eggs and, of course more spoon bread. All washed down with filtered water and southern sweet tea. Servers were attentive and helpful. There is a full bar and an amazing offering of fine Kentucky Bourbons. Boone Tavern is pet friendly and located on campus. Shopping and campus locations are walkable. Parking is free and conveniently located. Guests may work out at the college gym, stroll campus, or drive a short distance to hike in the Berea College forest (Pinnacles). Rooms are well appointed and furnished with furniture made by students. Highly recommend Boone Tavern Hotel and restaurant for a little getaway.

I've gone to school at Berea College for 2.5 years. Hadn't visited the Farm Store until last week…read more I can say with certainty that my biggest regret is not having shopped there sooner! The atmosphere is very down-to-earth and homey, but very straightforward and easy to take in. Everyone from the student workers, managers, and full-time employees are incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgable about the wide array of organic/ nutritious products they carry. The produce and meat from the Berea College Farm are of incredible quality, too. I highly recommend stopping in for lunch around 11:45 to beat the noon crowd during the week. Their affordable menu changes daily to reflect the offerings that week, and the freshness is unmatched in Berea. Have a seat outdoors and enjoy a nutritious lunch mingling with the regulars and locals that stop in, and if you're up to it, do a little grocery shopping while you're there!

Attached to the local college, this lunch restaurant and farmer's market is quite prominent, with a…read moresubstantial-looking building that's hard to miss driving by. They sell products of the students' work, and I'm always struck by how underutilized Kentucky farm land seems to be relative to the food people actually eat here. The winter selection was modest, as one might expect, with greens, root vegetables, and mushrooms for sale, and a couple of hot lunch options and baked goods. Their chickpea dish was fine; nothing special but a decent lunch. Adding a cake pop was tasty; despite the semi-sweet chocolate flavor it was still definitely sweet. There was a lunch rush, and I imagine the locals fill the place up often.

[TLDR] I'm not super into bagels so when my friends suggested that we go to Native Bagel, I wasn't sure if I'd be a fan. But their bagels are soooooo much better than anything you can get at the store. I mostly get their seasonal cream cheeses like the strawberry and pumpkin. I wish they had more cream cheese options. It does seem like they've been experimenting with different flavors and menu items recently. I like their coffee more than any other coffee shop in the area. I prefer my coffee on the sweeter side. I get the iced raspberry (or blackberry) white mocha. It's perfect! I like that I can order online. When you place an online order, they will set your order at the end of the bar near the door when it is done. The staff members are pretty nice. If you order at the counter, they will bring your food out to you. You have to throw away your trash when you are finished. The aesthetic is so pretty. I love the vibes. There are two single stall gender neutral restrooms located to the left of the order counter. They are decent size restrooms. My one gripe is about the size of the venue. It's small and a little crammed, especially since they put in the bar. At times, the place is hard to navigate as an able bodied person, so I'd imagine a disabled person with mobility issues or even someone with a stroller would have a harder time. There is a ramp to get into the main entrance of the building, however, the door is not automatic. I figure there's not much they can really do to solve the issue unless they expanded the building which I understand isn't quite feasible. I only bring this up because I love Native Bagel and I feel like it kinda does impair the experience a little bit. A person with a mobility aid would probably have as easier time navigating Just Love Coffee Cafe down the street than Native Bagel. If you go on Saturday morning it is often crowded! Be prepared to wait in line, and know that there may not be a free table to sit inside. I know this because my friend group and I went every week when we were enrolled at Berea College. There are a few tables outside by the parking lot. Also keep in mind that toward the end of the day they can start to run out of bagels. In the evening, they use the same venue for Nightjar, a bar and dine in restaurant.

2/23/26 I came here for lunch as I was in Berea for work…read more Thanks to yelp and google, I always find the best restaurants. Parking is simple as it's free street parking and there's plenty of space. I ordered the big cheese sandwich with tomato soup dip. While waiting, I noticed they have a coffee bar inside so I ordered a half and half cortado. (Half decaf, half regular with half and half cream) Nick the barista was top notch. He not only matched my vibe on learning about all things good foods but he made one of the best coffee drinks I've had in a long time. I will most definitely be returning here as soon as I come back to Berea. The food was absolutely fantastic and so delicious, next time I'm opting for a big bowl or 2 of their tomato soup, it was seriously that good! The ambiance inside is very nicely set up, very casual and inviting with a modern decor. 10/10 on food service and hospitality. Also on Mondays, they offer a gluten free day for those that are gluten intolerant or want some glyphosate-free products, definitely come here for that. I love how much thought and care is put into the food and coffee choices here. Definitely a foodie win in my book.

Morning was phenomenal, service was impeccable, food was definitely delicious and cooked with love, everyone was really friendly and helpful seeing as we had never been there. The interior is really nice has a home like vibe to it and very cozy. There is a even a game section in the back corner, board games, books etc. They have an interesting take on waffles! The prices are more than affordable, a full size drink can sound a little costly but I would definitely say the flights for the lattes are definitely worth it. I fell in love with Coco Loco and my boyfriend is obsessed with all of them. Womelette, Nutella waffles, and breakfast sandwich were ‍ Refreshers weren't my favorite, not sure if maybe they just put too much syrup etc in it but even my son had a hard time swallowing watermelon crawl and riptide as they had been way too sweet. Strawberry Cloud was extremely refreshing still sweet but not too much just the perfect blend. The panini was delicious accompanied with chips and balsamic vinaigrette and the fact that I could bring my dog Butters was even better! They have a gorgeous patio on the exterior. Lastly, our morning experience was definitely more accommodating than our afternoon experience. Our refreshers came in itty bitty tiny cups not worth the money of roughly 9-10 with tax. The service itself did not compare to the morning service.
