Made on site by a magically talented baker. There has not been anything to disappoint, there is only deliciousness here that is accompanied by a good cup of coffee. Friendly staff. Can get a tick loud at times, not a lot of seating but that is the allure to us and those dang scrumptious desserts. Love that we found this place, love that we keep returning and it dare I repeat myself... so dang good. Step up to the counter, order your choices and they bring them to you.

They also have a large variation of exotic cacti, with numerous prickly pear and barrel cacti. However, the conditions in the greenhouse are very humid, which is not the best for optimal cactus health. Still, they are growing strong. The service was also very polite and friendly, which is much more rare nowadays. When I had trouble finding the price of several items, two employees were very diligent in answering my questions. This will be my new destination for acquiring cacti and succulents!

OMGosh, I'm ecstatic over this cheese!! I was visiting Lexington last weekend and was so excited…read moreto find a street fair happening near my hotel on Saturday morning. One of the booths was Boone Creek Creamery. Since I love cheese, I had to indulge and buy myself some! I love hot and spicy, so two of the flavors I got were "Sassy" (Sharp Cheddar with peppercorn and red pepper) and "Habanero" (Sharp White Cheddar with Habanero Peppers). Sassy was unexpectedly wonderful. Rather than hitting the tongue with heat, the heat was more in the back of the mouth and throat and lingered. No too much, but not too little either. Delicious. The Habanero on the other hand, exploded with heat from the initial bite. This one didn't hold back, it was full-on HOT! Way too often things that advertise Habanero try to be delicate... this cheese was not delicate in any way. It was HAWT!! And I'm a huge fan!! My third block is Blueberry White Cheddar. I haven't had any of it yet, but I have no doubt it will be epic! This was such a pleasant unexpected find. If you are in Lexington and like cheese... check them out. You won't be disappointed!!

He has put his knowledge into making some of the best small batch cheeses in the state. He begins with a local, grass fed milk. Only natural ingredients are added to the cheeses, including the dye which is derived flowers. They are creative with their recipes and their names. For example, my favorite Sassy Redhead gets its namesake from a dusting of paprika on top and it gets its kick from peppercorns, mustard seeds and red pepper flakes. Abbey Road is an English cheddar smattered with sun dried tomatoes. The Kentucky Derby is a derby style cheddar with a hint of bourbon.

They create cheese trays for parties and you can often find them at the Lexington Farmers Market where you can sample before you buy.

After 12 distilleries in 3 days, this was THE BEST experience we've had because of Jack, the…read morebartender/bourbon guru. We stopped in at the Clubhouse section, the bar where you can do tastings in a comfortable setting with comfy leather couches, nestled into the trees, a short distance from the building that offers tours. Jack set us up with four pours based on our interests, and offered a delightful, personalized lesson on their distilling and aging process. While we enjoyed all four tastes, we particularly loved one bourbon, which we then purchased directly from the barrels as part of a thieving experience. We even got to fill the bottle ourselves! We especially enjoyed that Jack signed the bottle personally. Highly recommend Jack and this little gem on the Bourbon Trail. BTW - for you other combat veterans out there, there's a special surprise.
