Stopped in on a Sunday morning as we were walking to mass! Service was friendly and quick. One of the guys on shift was quick to tell us all about their menu and other location as well as gave us samples of their cream cheese. I just loved how he was so quick to jump in and tell us everything we needed to know while the others took our order and made the drinks. So efficient and a great way to showcase the menu! Inside was cozy and a great spot to set up to work. They had plenty of outlets near tables to plug in your laptop. Convenient location! Also have to note the matcha is not pre-sweetened which I prefer. I don't like syrups or sweetener in my matcha and too often coffee shops will use a pre sweetened drink mix. I would definitely be back when in the area again! read more

We stopped at the new location in Cheapside Park . My friend got a regular coffee and I got an iced oatmeal banana pancake latte. Which was really good by the way and my friend said her coffee was really good as well. They have a variety of snacks as well as bagels that are flown in from Queens, NY(which is where I'm born and raised). I did ask the girl at the counter and she told me she thought they were from Queens. She did confirm with someone named Nate. This is where it kind of goes sideways for me he was very dismissive about it when I told him I was born and raised in Queens. Both girls at the counter on the other hand were super friendly and helpful. Would I go back again? I would because I'm all for supporting small businesses especially when their coffee is that good. Would I care to speak with Nate again? Absolutely not. read more

I got to try this place on a Thursday night live I'm glad they stay open later in the evening to give people a chance to check them out. I ended up ordering the Matcha with oat milk and strawberry syrup. Total cost was about $8.50 before tip. It was a good Matcha, but it came pre-mixed which I prefer my Matcha to be poured over and not combined. It would come back and I'd like to try more menu items. read more

Ordered the fig it about it and wish I would have bought some spicy fig spread to take home - so good! I think we came on a training day, because only one person knew questions to anything. I ordered a cold brew with banana cold foam and the barista made several remarks about making cold brew that told me they don't know much about coffee. It was a bit watery. I think with time and training this could be a great spot. Very nice set up with tons of seating as well. read more

The Viking Sandwich was 10/10. One of the better Lox Bagels I've had, highly recommend. The "Spice Up your Life" tea. 10/10 which was a hit spice cinnamon tea, maple cinnamon and steamed milk. A lot of different options for coffee and bagels. Will definitely be back to try something different. Staff was 10/10 and the Bob Ross Mural is really cool! read more

I always enjoy coming here so much, because it's got a great laid-back vibe, but with great food and great customer service. They have lots of delicious options of bagels and spreads to go on them, and it's often hard for me to decide which I'm in the mood for. Coffee and matcha drinks are also great. Sure am glad this gem isn't far from me! Oh, and the have a nice rewards program where you can get a generous discount a certain amount of purchases. I'm not sure of the details on that, but I've gotten a $5. discount several times (buying only for myself). read more

Lovely spot for coffee, bagel sandwiches, and even some alcohol choices. Friendly staff to help. Spacious outside seating and there are a few tables and lounge chairs inside. Husband enjoyed the cortado. I had a specialty cold brew and it was delightful. read more

Grounded All Day Cafe - Menu 10/2025 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

I was absolutely floored with how well run Grounded All Day Cafe is. They ask you if you have eaten there before and if you haven't they give you a full run down of where the bagels are sourced - spoiler they fly them in from New York, and they make their own cream cheeses. The staff lets you try any and all the homemade cream cheeses you want. They were all so unique and delicious. They have seating and parking which is a plus. The atmosphere is very cute overall. They have seating in the back if you opt to bring your laptop and study or work it is secluded enough around in the back to do that. The coffee was wonderful as well. We tried some sort of smores latte along with their breeze iced tea. Overall great experience and I've already been back twice since going my first time last week! A quick addition to my list of staple places in my rotation! read more

This place was an unexpected surprise on our recent visit to Lexington KY to have breakfast bagels. Once the staff realized we were not local, they gave us samples of all of their cream cheese spreads - IIRC, there were 8, all well done. The staff was very welcoming and helpful with the menu and we needed up going back the next morning before we left Lexington for VA. My wife has a picky palette when it comes to coffee and she loved her Lattes. They have an outdoor area as well so it's also very family friendly. We will be going back when we're in the area. read more

Grounded All Day Cafe - Bob Ross wall mural - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

I ordered a plain toasted bagel with specialty blackberry cream cheese ($7.50) and ordered it to go. Got all the way back to work to realize they completely forget the cream cheese on my bagel. Don't know how you do that when it's literally the whole point of the meal.... I was disappointed and consider this place way too expensive for something like that. I did try calling the place but the number is someone's personal phone and got sent to voicemail (which is full) and it'll tell you to text them - which I did - and never got a reply. Sent them an email as well and crickets. What a rip off!!! read more

Called in an order! They had my bagel ready and even if I had got there a few mines late they added the ice and cold form to my drink when I got there they explained that they want me to get the drink to the freshest standards! The bagel was delicious !!! And the environment and employees are always so welcoming! Every visit here is great, whether I'm by myself, or with my child there always something fun go on here. Their out door area is so nice and inviting to spend an afternoon outdoors! read more

Happened past Grounded All Day Cafe and decided to stop in for a morning drink. They make all of their syrups in house as well as the cream cheeses. They also order all bagels in from New York! Emma helped us at the counter, was very nice and offered us samples of the Bacon Pepper Jam and Blackberry Lavender cream cheese. Both great! This trip we ordered drinks only: lavender latte and chai tea latte. It took a bit for drinks to be turned around. Once we got them, the lavender latte tasted like a darker roast and not much of a lavender taste. The chai tea latte was on the sweeter side. This business seems newer to the area and working out some kinks but has a promising future ahead of them! read more

Grounded is a fantastic cafe staple in town! I was visiting and was shown this place by the people we were staying with. It's one of their favorites for craft coffees and their bagel sandwiches. It has the feeling of a small, local shop with the modern feel of a coffee shop you want to sit at all day to get your work done. Everyone was very welcoming and explained the menu to me. They make their spreads in house, which are unique and delicious. It took a little while longer for the bagels to be made than I thought. Other than that, it was a great shop with great food! read more

What an amazing coffee shop! I am now working in the area and went on a hunt for a coffee shop with a great atmosphere, relaxing vibe, room to pull out a laptop and get some work done, and food options. BUT it gets better!! They have vegan food options! I enjoyed immensely the vegan bagel sandwich (and yes ... vegan cream cheese!)! I will be back. Probably way too often! read more

Ordered a bagel with cream cheese and waited for it 15-20 minutes. Went back to the counterperson and they didn't even remember the order and asked what it was. I was pressed for time and left without the order or a refund. Did not have time to wait so they can keep the $4.50. The counterperson was more interested in telling me what they had than fulfilling my order. read more

What an amazing find! This little gem stood out on my visit to Kentucky. I ordered a white mocha latte and it was incredible. The service, the conversation, the ambience is *chefs kiss*.

This is a cute little place, well decorated and welcoming. The staff is incredibly friendly, ready to please and help you with what you need. I had the gluten-free everything bagel and was able to taste test the French onion cream cheese before I ordered it. It was so good. I bought another bagel and a tub of cream cheese. read more

Just a gem. Delicious food and coffee (rare combo) homemade spreads and syrups are incredible. Really sweet folks working too.

The best bagels and smears! Plus delicious coffee! Highly recommend for anyone to visit! Staff was helpful and kind!

My mom found this place on Yelp the other day looking for dog friendly places. So we decided to take the pup and kids (4and 6) for lunch today. The bagel sandwiches were absolutely delicious! Such unique flavors! The coffee drinks were also really great. We both had the Carmel rapper cold brew and I had the everything bagel with kicking chicken and its fig jam per the barista recommendation. I loved it! The whole place was really fun and clean and we loved the whole vibe. Everyone we encountered was super nice and helpful with menu. We also met the owner who helped us get our order to the table. My son is in a wheelchair and we struggled a bit to get to the back (no ramp) but we eventually got everything back there. We will definitely be back! read more

Took 10 minutes to get cold coffee. Bagels "flown in from queens" were of poor quality. Staff was unfriendly. Will not return.

First time trying this place and I loved it. As a college student I love finding new places to get coffee/food and study, and I will definitely be going back to Grounded. Their bagels are SO SO good. I thought the atmosphere was super cozy and cute, and the workers said hi to me as soon as I entered and asked how my food/coffee was when I went to throw away my trash. Everyone is super friendly and I thought the service was pretty good too. Wish they didn't automatically include tip but other than that it was a lovely experience. read more

Grounded All Day Cafe was a Great find. I was looking for a coffee shop in the Lexington area and I came across this place. I was greeted with a huge menu of various breakfast bagels, sandwiches, spreads and different coffee options. The staff offers a handful of spreads for anyone to try right before you're about to order. I ended up just getting a coffee and it was pretty good. The coffee came out quick even with a lot of customers and the staff did an amazing job. It had a very modern feel with an atmosphere that was welcoming. One of the few coffee shops in Lexington that has a good amount of indoor seating as well as many benches and places to enjoy your order outside as well. I'm definitely coming back and making Grounded All Day Cafe my go to Coffee and breakfast place from now on. read more

Awful service. Took 50 minutes to get a bagel with cream cheese to go. Just lack of effort on the staff's part. I could've been in and out of Panera in 5 minutes but wanted to support local. Will never patronize again. read more

This place is stellar! Nothing compares to a locally owned business. The entire place is clean and beautiful. The owners / staff are incredibly kind and really care about their space and service. The food and coffee were so yummy! They have a great work area and plenty of seating along with an outdoor area when the weather is nice. This is definitely going to be a new go-to. LOVE Grounded All Day! So happy to have another coffee shop / cafe in Lexington! read more

His was our first time trying this bagel coffee cafe. I want to say how much we enjoyed the food and coffee. Our bill for 2 sandwiches and 2 small coffees with a tip and 3% credit card fee was $45.00.Very very pricey for what we got. I really have a problem with places that charge a C/C 3% processing fee. I know we have all paid these fees which is legal but the businesses are able to claim these fee's on their taxes as a business expense which lower their overall tax liability in the end. I will remember the credit card fee and my $45.00 bill more than I will remember the food unfortunately. If you do got take CASH! read more

Food was tasty. You order at the counter. Neat space-open and bright. Took time to get food but I thought it was worth it.

The food was so good! I got the northern exposure sandwich on an everything bagel, it was fantastic! The person working was so kind, and let us try a couple of the different house made cream cheeses. I also got a banana pancakes iced latte, it was phenomenal! The inside was so cozy with lots of cute seating and decorations. I will definitely be back! read more

Delicious pimiento cheese bagel! It had an unusual blend of ingredients that really made it work. The bagel was really fresh and flavorful. I had the everything bagel. It had the right mix of flavors to take this sandwich over the top. Very nice people and competitive prices. Definitely will be back to try their other offerings. They have a really spacious patio also for warmer weather. read more

This place is top notch. If you are looking for a chain restaurant style place....move on. Grounded All Day Cafe has so much to offer, from lawn games for kids and adults, yoga outdoors during summer months, live entertainment, drinks, ice cream and many unique food offerings. I'd highly recommend this for a place to relax, meet with friends or a first date. But don't take my word for it...give them a try. read more
