Caramel Pecan Cinnamon Roll
Katie B.

Went on a Saturday for lunch time and the place was pretty crowded. Order at the counter. Friendly Staff helped with the menu. My husband really enjoyed the monte Cristo croissant sandwich. The southern eggs Benedict was good, but I didn't personally enjoy the fried green tomato.

Breakfast plate x2!
Jennifer F.

Found it through Yelp and came right over. We both ordered the breakfast plate. My eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was just as I wanted, crispy! But the biscuit with gravy was the hit of the morning! Great texture to the biscuit and the gravy-delicious! The order taker was quite pleasant and helped us order. The food came out quickly and was hot! I'd definitely come back. Industrial looking but comfortable. Nice vibe here. Great place for breakfast in Lexington!

I'd give this place more stars if I could. First of all I chose to go here because they support hiring people with addiction issues that are in recovery. I'm a drug and alcohol counselor and this concept is amazing and should be in every city in every state. Then there is the food. Omg. So I tried the special of steak and street corn tacos, two in a serving and they were amazing! I also wanted to try the clam chowder but didn't want a whole bread bowl, they were very accommodating and let me just purchase a cup of chowder which was very good with chunks of goodness. Service was outstanding as well!

I found this eatery on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Based on the reviews, I expected a crowd, but there weren't very many people there on a Sunday morning. The parking lot is huge, and there is plenty of seating inside. The menu is on the smaller side, but there are certainly enough offerings to meet any craving. I ordered the French toast sticks and an eggs benedict, with a sweet tea. The French toast was the perfect example of crunchy on the outside, pillowy soft on the inside. The accompanying syrup was great as it wasn't too sweet. The eggs benedict was ok. I would try something else were I to visit again. The biscuit was fresh and soft but not flavorful at all. I needed salt and pepper to accent the flavors. The sweet tea was semi-sweet. The staff seemed friendly enough, and the price point seemed appropriate.

Chocolate cinnamon rolls

Was sent there by a local to have their must have cinnamon rolls. Although they are a must have the breakfast hash recommended by the server is an absolute must! Gravy, meat, potatoes, green beans underneath, etc... so good!!

The food was so very good 10/10 easily . Really cool spot and super friendly service!

Breakfast Plate
Lisa G.

We wanted a good breakfast sandwich and figured we would take advantage of car and not be limited to places within walking distance of the dorms. This place was so good! It has a nice, busy, slightly artsy vibe. You order at the front counter, they give you a number for your table tent and then they bring the food out. It was surprisingly fast and service was friendly. We ordered breakfast plates, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, a honey siracha chicken sandwich, a chocolate croissant, tots and coffee. It was around $50 for four of us for a great, fairly fast breakfast. The chicken sandwich was delicious! The chicken was nice, plump and crispy and the sauce was very good with pickles on a flaky biscuit. The tots were well cooked and seasoned. The chocolate croissant was different because it was chocolate cream on top vs inside. It was nice and light and creamy. Even the coffee was good.

Cinnamon Rolls

The restaurant is clean and the staff is incredible! I love their mission and feel great about picking this restaurant for breakfast and lunch!!! The lavender cinnamon roll has been my favorite!

Looking for a lunch spot? This was a great place to stop and enjoy a meal. A large variety of sandwiches, salads and baked goods. Don't missed the sourdough bread baked on site. It is really delicious. We enjoyed the Mediterranean sandwich that had a good selection of crunch fresh vegetables and a slightly spicy hummus. The bread was toasted and it made for a really good vegan/vegetarian option. Also had the fried green tomato BLT. Nicely made with lots of flavor and a tasty sauce. Take out and dine in both available. $$

Tetris fries

We visited this unique location for lunch at noon on a Saturday. It was busy but not overwhelmingly so. We stood in line for maybe five minutes to order. The food is delivered to your table, self service on drinks. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! The vibe is ultra cool, the food is fresh and delicious. The service was impeccable. I've never seen a cleaner restaurant. I ordered one of the salads with the sweet cider dressing - LOVED! We also tried out one of the cinnamon rolls. Breakfast menu looks great. My husband had the hamburger with the egg. They use 100% black Angus ground beef. The patty was thicker than most places. My husband didn't care for the brioche bun but I love them so that's just a matter of taste. The Tetris fries were super crispy, hot, seasoned and delicious! My husband decided to mix some ketchup with the Cholula hot sauce for dipping... highly recommend! The quality of the ingredients was super fresh and made to order. The pricing is fair and it was nice to be at an establishment that didn't feel like an over priced money grab. Will definitely be back!

Josie's was our only stop in Lexington, but a pleasant one. 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.

We had reservations but ended up getting there early and just had our dinner at the bar. We both had cocktails which we enjoyed along with the deviled eggs for an appetizer. The eggs were okay--a bit spicier than I would have preferred and I would probably try a different app next time I go (there will be a next time for sure!) My shrimp and grits were great but honestly the bourbon glazed wings that my fiance had were the show stoppers. Large sized wings that were smoked perfectly with the right amount of crunch topped with a sweet but not too sweet bourbon glaze. I will definitely get those next time I go. The vibes were casual and chill--the perfect place to pre-game before a game or event or the perfect place to meet friends for a drink. I'd definitely recommend!

You can truly feel the heart behind the place, and knowing your meal supports something bigger makes it even more meaningful. Lexington is lucky to have businesses like this -- local, welcoming, community-focused, and making a real difference while serving amazing food. Definitely one of the most inspiring spots in town.

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.

Fair warning to anyone with even a shred of restraint: you will lose it the moment you take your first bite.
