The setting of this coffee shop is in an old house located right next to the post office. After taking care of an errand my husband and I popped in here one weekday afternoon for a couple of iced coffees. There are various downstairs rooms a large front porch set up with tables and some comfy seating. The location seemed to be popular with the locals as there were several groups located throughout the house either hanging out socially or working. We ordered from an extremely polite and accommodating barista and she was patient while we perused their long list of various coffee flavor concoctions. Although I don't remember the specific ones we ordered they were both pretty good. Although they do not use Torani brand syrups so the flavors did taste a bit synthetic. There are also a lot of various items for sale throughout the shop. I ended up purchasing a little knitted sock that fits on your broom handle to be used as a duster. For only $4 I felt like it was a cute and unique find. I actually wished I bought a couple more as gifts. If you're looking for a good little coffee place in the area that isn't one of the many big chains definitely give Black Chicken Coffee a try! read more

I always try to find independent coffee houses. Admittedly I am kind of a coffee snob. It's a cool location in an old house. I ordered a Costa Rican drip coffee. The coffee was a bit weak and watery. Also, it tasted like they use the same grinder for flavored and unflavored coffee. It has a bit of artificial flavor in the aftertaste. If you are a casual coffee drinker it is fine. If you are looking for a nice Italian Cappuccino look elsewhere. read more

I used to live here in Lexington but moved away. I always hit up the black chicken when I'm in town. The service is great and coffee always delicious read more

The menu is HUGE! There are so many flavors so I'd say there has to be something for everyone. Mine was a little sweet for my liking so I can't wait to go back and try something else. I love that this is located in a historic home. It has so much character! read more

I strolled in here on my way back to Florida and I was so happy I did! I could have chosen a chain coffee place, but that's not how I roll. The barista suggested "Pumpkin Pie" and that's what I went with. It was absolutely delicious!! Several other patrons were ordering frappes, hot coffee, etc. The "house" is decorated very nicely and is the perfect spot to relax, study, etc. A family of children were outside dining on the porch. Everyone is welcome here! read more

Black Chicken Coffee - Iced Pumpkin Pie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lexington, North Carolina

They have all the flavor pumps in the world to whip up a coffee that you would like. Their menu features a ton of different combos they recommend but you are welcome to make what you like. I am a avid coffee drinker and thought their coffee and options were amazing. They always swap out two coffee bean types out of the 5 to switch it up and even offer samples of their offerings! The atmosphere was amazing and the workers entertained us with some nice conversation. read more

Interesting spot, pleasent staff and a tasty latte ..... off the path home feel, camping almost a half hour away. Was worth the trip

This has been my go to study spot coffee shop all throughout high school. Plenty of comfy seating outside and inside. Free WiFi is also a plus. I love the fact that's it's in a restored historic home and feels cozy like everyone there is at a family gathering at grandmas house. Inside many things are sold beyond just coffee from furniture, decor, and gadgets made by local artists. I LOVE THE MANGER SARAH and all the staff are so helpful and truly get to know the costumers. Here I feel like coming into a home greeted by a quick catch up with family, you feel truly appreciated. Can't recommend this place more, it deserves six stars. read more

Great coffee with flavor options galore! Owner Jeff stopped by our table to talk with my coffee date. It was delightful talking to him & learning the history of this charming coffee shop. I will be back. read more

Interesting place to explore/stop by. Turn a house into a coffee shop is an adorable idea!!!! I love the decorations inside of the house, saw some wood artworks. The place is spacious, plenty of indoor and outdoor seatings. I'm not really a sweet drinker, so can't comment on the drinks. But the staffs were friendly and sweet was able to adjust the sweetness level for me. I would definitely come back if I need to stop by to do a meeting again! read more

I found this place on downtown Lexington. It had good reviews and I was in need of some mid morning caffeine. The place has a little parking lot next to the building and there's some more parking available on the street. They have a long and varied menu. The place seems to get a bit busy around lunch time but the staff is very friendly and very quick. I had a 16 oz. creamy coconut iced latte with double espresso shot. OmG! So well balanced, sweet and creamy, but not watery, you can taste the good coffee. I enjoyed this drink very much and have been craving one ever since. They have a good seating areas inside and on the porch. I believe I found a good spot for my next visit to Lexington read more

Used to be a nice little spot but last couple of times coffee quality has gone down and not worth the $10 they charge.

Went in the other day and asked for a macchiato. Ended up with a latte that was $10 and not even good. The baristas also had no personality and were not super friendly or seemed to care how they made my incredibly overpriced drink. read more

Stopped here on our way from Charlotte to Raleigh. A very nice coffee shop in a large older house. The de or, like a house gives off a comfort and friendly atmosphere which is echoed by the owner and baristas. Good selection of tasty coffee. read more

I just moved to Lexington from Raleigh and NYC before that. This pjs e is gorgeous smells great and coffee is so good. Staff is friendly and efficient. read more

Black Chicken Coffee - a pastry and a drink on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lexington, North Carolina

It was rather cool today for September so I stopped in for a hot drink. This was the first time visiting this shop after a friend mentioned it. Pulling up, it is an old house that has been converted. There's no parking lot so parking is in front by the curb. The rooms have sofas, chairs, and tables. The decor is very vintage including antique China, crystal, vases, figurines, etc. There are a few wood-working items and bagged coffee for sale. I entered into the kitchen and was greeted with a friendly "hello" which was nice. I ordered a hot chocolate. I was disappointed that they did not offer fat-free milk so I settled for 2% milk. They charge a 4% fee if you use a credit card which I do not like and they do not have it posted. This detail should always be posted. The hot chocolate was very good. The chocolate was not too sweet which was great. The shop was quiet and relaxing if you are looking for a peaceful atmosphere. There's wifi available and private rooms if you need to work while you enjoy your drink. Overall, it was a pleasant visit. The decor is older which matches the house so it is a quaint atmosphere While I enjoyed my visit and my drink, there were a few things I wished they had. There were not many baked goods... just a handful of muffins. I would have expected there to be a plethora of baked goods, biscottis, etc. The name includes "and Gifts" but there weren't that many gifts to speak of outside of the few wood-working items and some bags of coffee. The logo is cool so I was planning to buy a T-shirt. There were no T-shirts coffee mugs, etc. Bottom line, if you just want a tasty drink and you don't care about the various coffee shop frills, this place shop is certainly worth a stop. read more

Awesome atmosphere and the coffee is the best around. My favorite is the Butter Beer frappe

They put a lot of TLC into each drink. I love that they have sugar free options. The turtle and snickers flavors are spot on. My favorite is the snow cream! Always a treat! read more

Just driving through town and decided to stop here for a cup of coffee. The place is very homey but the coffee bar it's self is very clean and organized! Everything was labeled and had a place. Staff was helpful and patient. I might be ignorant about coffee lol but my tastebuds were pleased. I ordered an espresso/coffee with snickerdoodle syrup and it was rich and flavorful, it didn't taste like fake flavoring! I would come back here to try one of their many other flavor varieties. read more

Nice homey atmosphere. Great coffee. Parking is easy & convenient. Off the beaten path

Their Coffee Is Really Good I Used To Beg My Mom To Go On Wednesdays When They Had Some Sort Of Special And Whenever We Went I Would Get A Caramel Vanilla Sort Of Drink, I Don't Exactly Remember But I Remember How It Tasted Incredible.Go Here. read more

Oh, God this place is what you want a coffee shop to be. For their lounging furniture, they had couches & furniture like you'd see in a furniture shop showroom. They are in downtown Lexington so you can't come here if you've got a midnight coffee craving but if you can get here when they're open you will get friendly service and very comfy seating. They also have a bookshop attached to the store that you can browse in. Oh, and the drink selection is wonderful. I had a hot chocolate but you can get a Milky Way frappe or even a "kid's cream" for a child. My sister, who lives in the area, recommended it and boy was she right about how good it was! read more

I adore this little place. My brother introduced me to it and every time I'm in town for a visit I make time to stop. They have the most extensive latte menu I've ever seen, and the ambiance is great for sitting and chatting. read more

Decent coffee- the only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the space was a little cluttered and unorganized. Cool spot, turning a house into a coffee shop. read more

If I could give Black Chicken 10 stars, I would! I remember Black Chicken before it was in its current location. The company is iconic to our small town. I thought the original logo was great and it has always been a hometown go-to. But the current owners upped its appeal when they purchased by also buying the downtown old home the cafe currently resides in and live above the cafe on the private second floor. They are friendly and hospitable and very professional in their business. The baristas are trained very well, and it doesn't matter if I get one of the specialty frappes, or a hot latte, they always make it just right. A few times I have ordered and they have made recommendations based on feedback or personal recommendations to suit my tastes. The atmosphere makes you want to sit for a while, it is clean and comfy with sofas and tables and chairs in all the downstairs rooms and also on the front porch. I typically go every Friday and meet a few friends for coffee and chitchat and we always end up staying for hours. There are other good places in town too, but this is my favorite! read more

Black Chicken Coffee does everything right! By far the best coffee house I have ever been. I only wish that it was within walking distance but then I would never be home. So many variety of coffees to choose from and from what I have had, I look forward to the next. Perfectly brewed and hot. I bought a bag to take home and it disappeared quickly. It is located in a older house 1920'ish. And all downstair rooms are open to enjoy a relaxing conversation, work from home, private cup of java or a team meeting. This place will fit all needs. It is VERY clean and sells many locally made crafts throughout. Board games and books are available for free use. The owners are amazing. So friendly and willing to share the history of the house and the special mirror you must ask about in the room with the fireplace. I am looking forward to my next visit. read more

It's like a quick trip to yesteryear. The feel is like grandma's geeral store with a wide variety of coffee choices and pastries to tempt any tummy. Get your coffee, a nice treat, a paper or your phone and have a seat on the porch and enjoy a little slow down time! read more

As I always do while traveling I like to find random local coffee shops instead of going mainstream. On the way to Charlotte we stopped at Black Chicken. They operate out of an old historical house in downtown Lexington. We were greeted by two baristas that were very nice and professional . They offer a lengthy list of coffees/flavors, pastries and to go foods. There are multiple tables to gather at and a nice porch to sit and enjoy your coffee. I had the snickers latte abs it was true to that description. I also met the owner and he was attentive and wanted to please. I will be back. read more

cute coffee and shop in downtown Lexington! staff was kind and helpful and even helped me on an iced latte selection seeing that they have over 100 flavor combinations!! gonna be back this week to finish up my lunch card for that free drink. read more

This is one of the best coffee shops I have been to. It is located in a home that has been made into a great little coffee shop. The have lots of options from noth cold and hot drinks here. I haven't been disappointed with any drink I've had from herd. Myblast visit here I had a smoothie that was one of the best smoothies I've ever had. This is definitely a great place to go to if you are looking for a little place to catch up with friends or to get a little work done. read more

We came to Lexington has part of the evacuation from Hurricane Florence. Black Chicken Coffee was one of the only businesses still open in the area that had WiFi we could use to get updates on friends, family, and loved ones. As well as updates on our community so to determine when we could head home. The staff were very inviting and supportive of us staying for the majority of the day to get that information. The coffee, food, and environment they provided definitely helped in comforting us during this situation. Whether during a crisis or a casual day, Black Chicken Coffee is worth the time for a visit. read more

These are some professional coffe wizards here..! It is a converted historic home, and comfortably accommodates several small groups, like our meetup every other Friday. Come for the absolutely delicious coffee (and Pokemon themed sodas), local artisan crafts on sale, and stay for the ambiance. read more

I live just down the road from Black Chicken and I couldn't be happier that I do! I stop in at least 3 times a week for my morning coffee. Jeff and the girls are always friendly- even when they're super busy they always give each customer their undivided attention. This is by far Lexington's BEST coffee shop. read more

This was a great all around coffee shop with a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Staff was very helpful in answering questions and offering suggestions. I kept it simple with a caramel cold brew and a bagel but there is a huge list of coffee flavors to choose from as well as a decent amount of cafe style food items. I'd be interested to test the barista skill of the employees. There was also a variety of fresh coffee beans and other artisanal items for sale in the shop. Only real negative was the difficult and limited parking, which is understandable given the location in the middle of downtown Lexington. read more

Love love Love this coffee shop. It's a beautiful craftsman house refurbished and renovated into a coffee shop downstairs. Each room is filled with beautiful fixtures and trinkets (most of which are for sale for reasonable prices) and upscale Southern charm, giving you a vintage antebellum south feel right when you walk in the door. You have many options for work spaces or lounging areas, from a cozy couch-filled living room, complete with a fireplace. I sit in the back when I'm in town and work on the quiet side porch, overlooking the post office. The owners are very personable and jovial and make the place feel like you are visiting relatives for the holidays. Not to mention it's dressed head-to-toe in festive decor for the holidays. I highly recommend a pitstop here whether you are a local or passing through. read more

Stopped by for a little post BBQ jolt. The Americano was pretty good but either the beans were a little old or the water wasn't filtered, something like that. It tasted good to start with but as it started to cool that's when it took on a different flavor. I bought a half pound of Columbian espresso beans, they smelled amazing. I ran a French press with them this evening, not great. Kind of bitter with a weird, almost drinking coffee grounds type of flavor. I French press multiple times a day so I know it wasn't my press, not sure about the beans but I'm not looking forward to the next cup. The coffee house is in downtown Lexington and is located in a really great old house. There are lots of great seating areas inside and out with multiple drip brew coffees available. I picked up a couple of muffins, a blueberry and apple...very tasty. I like the place but was not overjoyed with the java...I will probably try The Perfect Blend next time through to see what they have to offer. read more

Great coffee place in Lexington! Their drink menu is at least 4 pages long; the possibilities are endless! You can get any drink blended or iced. The prices are really reasonable. The house is really cute and has lots of places to sit and relax inside. There is also a lot of seating outdoors. The staff is really nice. read more

Love this place, it is my favorite coffee house!! The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. You wont be disappointed

The best lattes ever! I've tried several different flavors and loved them all. The owners and staff are all welcoming and friendly. If you're in Lexington don't miss The Black Chicken. read more
