    Pumpkin foam cold brew

    Nice little drive thru . Friendly and great tasting drinks ! On a trip from Ohio so I like to support smaller local businesses and this was a great one!!

    The coffee is great but the service is the best! We went twice and were so happy with both visits. And they offer a significant military discount. All this and a chocolate covered espresso bean on top!

    Large Brewed Coffee - Hot & Fresh

    I have driven by Common Grounds every day, twice a day on the way to school drop off but decided to finally stop and give it a try. It is drive through only as it's a small kiosk set up in the Hartland Kroger shopping center. I ordered a large brewed coffee with cream and sugar (nothing fancy!). The coffee was hot, fresh and the two employees working were very friendly and personable. The price was comparable with Starbucks, but I am happy to support a local Lexington business. Will not be my last time stopping!

    This cute coffee spot in the Kroger Hartland Center is one of Lexington's greatest hidden jewels. The coffee made here is nothing but pure java heaven and the best part is that you can drive through on either side. It can get a bit busy at rush hour but you will never be denied fabulous customer service and did I mention fabulous java? The prices are extraordinarily cheap yet the quality is much better than any Starbucks. Rhoda, the manager always take her time to get to know you including memorizing our orders plus knowing little stuff in our lives. You can add shots, soy, whatever for a quarter or thereabouts which is a steal in this coffee hungry city. If you are looking for some authentic local coffee to go, this is the place and definitely a place that Lexington can be proud of! Whitney and Rhoda are my favorite baristas! May Java Be With You at the Daily Grind!

My top-tier chum who literally went to…read morethe school of hospitality and I came by here to meet up with a colleague for brunch last Thursday morning. He's from this general area and recommended this spot, among a few others. I picked it because I liked the vibe, which I stand by in hindsight. Last Thursday was an atrocious weather day, raining for most of the time including the entire morning as we drove up to Lexington from Irvine. Since we'd never been over here, Josie's wasn't necessarily easy to spot apart from the other nearby businesses. It WAS very obviously in this larger strip mall situation (which doesn't seem like exactly the right term, but it's definitely in a building with a bunch of other stores), though we had to walk around almost the entire perimeter from our parking spot on Euclid to find it. Once we did, smooth sailing. Despite the fact that it was a weekday, Josie's was pretty busy when we walked in around 10ish. We WERE heading toward MDW, which could have been a factor, but this seems to be a pretty popular establishment regardless. It feels pretty new - this isn't like an old school greasy spoon diner type of situation - with some interesting artwork on the walls, and booths, regular tables and counter stools potentially available. Our colleague was already there and had secured a booth towards the back closer to the bathrooms, which allowed for some fun viewpoints of most of the restaurant. We were already a few days into our debauchery of a road trip, so I kept it pretty well-behaved - I opted for waffles with strawberries. That's it. The food came very quickly, as did the requested coffee, which might have ultimately been more important than the aforementioned waffles in the grand scheme of things. I honestly don't have a lot to say about them other than that they were perfectly fine waffles. The strawberries were fresh, the waffles themselves were cooked through but not too crispy, and that was that. I think it's a little hard to mess up something this basic, and thankfully all was well. The service was excellent throughout and even though I didn't foot any part of the bill (a thank you to our Kentucky colleague), the prices seemed very reasonable to me - though I also have a completely distorted perspective given that most of my consumerism takes place in the NYC area. No issues here; didn't see a ton of reasons to wander back into Lexington unless somehow Coach Cal comes back to coach the Cats and I miraculously score tickets to something at Rupp, but this was a nice little spot.

    Very good food in an upscale setting. It was perfect place to celebrate birthday!…read more OLD FASHIONED was very good. Good bourbon with quality ingredients,b perfectly made. We started with an appetizer of BAKED GOAT CHEESE WITH ROLLS. It was really good. Cheese was typed with something like a maranera sauce. It was tasty but I would have preferred to out the tomato sauce. Enjoyed my SIDE SALAD which came with many toppings including bacon. I asked to leave the blue cheese off, which normally comes on it. The RIBS were out of this world!!! Melted off the bone. The BBQ sauce was phenominal. There were a ton of ribs. It is certainly a plate that could be shared. I took half home as leftovers. I selected the MAC AND CHEESE as my side. They have a version with pork, which sounds amazing, but decided it would be too much when paired with ribs. Super creamy and cheesy. Rich but not too rich. Staff was friendly and attentive, and contributed to the elegance of the evening.

To pay as much as we did, I expected so much more from the food. Perhaps the other dishes are better.

I must admit when I saw the size of her donuts I laughed because they were so big. Long story short what she got was a cronut not the traditional cake donut. Previously I've had the raspberry filled donut there and it was really good. The caramel turtle is also a cronut. She asked what kind of dough it was my guess was brioche because of the texture. I could be wrong. I liked my donut although it was a little messy to eat . My friend on the other hand didn't care for the cronut. The coffee though is always on point and it didn't disappoint. As for customer service they really are on point. I've been there a total of three times so far and every time they've been friendly and patient. Plenty of seating indoors and on the patio. I think after 1 pm they do donuts made to order (I didn't see the sign when we first walked in until after we placed our order). I just thought they sold out but the woman at the counter told me they do made to order.

The kind where you fully intend to order one... and somehow walk out with two. Or three. The layers are perfectly flaky, the flavors works well well together, and every bite feels like it was engineered to make you say "okay, just one more." Fair warning to anyone with even a shred of restraint: you will lose it the moment you take your first bite.
