A tea lover's dream!! I discovered this business after a Google search for coffee shops that serve…read moretea. To my delight, there's a full tea shop just minutes from my home. I walked in and was amazed at the huge selection of loose tea available for purchase. White, black, green, caffeinated, unique flavors, you name it and there is something for you here! The owner was so kind as he explained to me a bit about what they carry and invited me to smell the wonderful aromas of the tea by opening the jars and discovering the scents. (This is very sanitary, as the jars are covered allowing you to smell without compromising/contaminating the product). In addition to an array of teas, there is also a merchandise and wide variety of spices. There is metered parking directly outside the storefront. Supporting local businesses brings me so much joy and I will be back.

A must go if you're willing to explore downtown lexington. The owners are incredibly friendly and…read morewarm, and I have personally never seen such a wide variety of spices across lexington, nicholasville, richmond and more! Not everyone is into tea, but I love loose leaf and this place is like heaven to me. And hey, if you're not into it, they even offer tea and a snack for a couple bucks so you can give it a shot. The owner, pardon me for forgetting his name, was so knowledgeable and told me about all the different kinds of tea he had, and even showed me tea that strongly resembles the taste and smell of coffee (so I can get my dad to switch haha). They also have a rewards program that you don't have to sign up for, it's just a little index card that they punch and you can get free tea! Overall, such a lovely place to go. If you're thinking of a certain spice they are bound to have it, and their options of tea genuinely surprised me! i've been loving the darjeeling peach apricot. Worth every penny :)

I've been following Simply Seedlings on Instagram for sometime now. Finally I got a chance to try…read moretheir microgreens! Wow! Not only do they grow and supply their microgreens right here in Lexington, I'm confident that they are the best! Today I met a bunch of friends for a ritual brunch, this time a Mintons. One of my friends was quick to point out the micro cilantro. Then it dawned on me, I remember Simply Seedlings mentioning on IG that they supply those greens to Mintons! I wasn't positive about it, so I later confirmed that they were in fact their seedlings. Before I could go back and rave to my friend, she'd already shouted out the greens in her five star review of Mintons. I too had the Huevos Rancheros, and I can attest, those Simply Seedlings were more than simply, they literally made the dish! Kudos to Mintons for using those locally sourced greens. Genius! They also make custom blends and offer live trays. Look them up and reach out on Instagram. The owners are a pair of Transy grads, passionate about good quality microgreens.

I had been wanting to go for a long time, and then I finally did for their Thanksgiving hot bar…read morespecial. It is a nice store, it has great items... but the prices were a bit out of my budget so I skipped straight to the hot bar. I got two plates (pay per lb), two drinks, and two pie slices. The total was close to $70 for a two-person meal. I could no understand how the meals alone were a bit over $50, it did not feel like 2lbs per person, but then again I did not pay attention to the scale. The food was not very hot by the time we sat down to eat, and it was very crowded at 11 AM. The employees were meh but then again, it was a holiday so I appreciate their presence. We still had a good time, the food was good, but I am not sure if I'd return (mostly due to the cost). It reminded me of sprouts or whole foods, just smaller.

We are officially chiliheads, thanks to the wonderful experience that we had in the store with our…read moresales associate Kim! The store had a well-curated display of a seemingly endless amount of hot sauces, barbecue sauces, spices and other culinary products. The environment was enjoyable as well. Kim showed us a ton of different flavor profiles. She was able to use what we told her we liked to give recommendations for other sauces and products. She also made sure to help us get the best deals available and to sign us up for the rewards program. All in all, we are hooked now that we have experimented with some recipes. This morning, we used the apple cinnamon barbecue sauce to make a spam hash in the air fryer. It was too good for words. We will definitely be returning to this store!

O.M.G....I have found the authentic Thai restaurant in Kentucky -- Nat's is it!!…read more Nat's is a very unassuming lil takeout only restaurant tucked into the side of McCarthy's Irish Bar and shares a front entrance with an Irish gift shop. It sounds odd, but totally worked! My friend and I walked up one afternoon, ordered food inside the restaurant, was told by the owner to "go next door, order a drink and he will bring the food over". We went to McCarthy's, ordered a couple of Pepsi and sat in the cutest nook by the window. Our orders arrived soon: Kobe beef grapao, shrimp salad. Wow! The flavors are sharp, distinct and intense, like Thai flavors are supposed to be. I would say the grapao's spice level is about medium for me. The salad was so spicy that I couldn't finish it. If you have the tendency to want "Thai Hot" in your dishes, this is the place that can serve it up! If you look at the photos poated by other Yelpers, you'll see many other special menu items not found at any other local Thai places. i cannot wait to come back for them! Btw, there is also a nice courtyard next door w available seating during warmer months.

This is the most prettiest and girliest tea room I've been to. I'm from Denver CO and in KY to see…read morefamily, when I saw this trending spot I had to make a quick stop! I took my mom and dad and we really had a great time! The food was good and the scones and desserts were also good! I had the bourbon tea, it had a nice vanilla taste to it. My mom enjoyed her chocolate tea and my dad enjoyed his green tea. The atmosphere was very pretty in pink and I love the color pink! For those that like/love tea, keep in mind that if you make a reservation you "Have to Get" the afternoon teas (tower set) even if you just want À la carte. I booked a reservation thinking we can pick one thing off the menu and we weren't allowed too. That option was only for (walk in's). The only thing I would recommend for Tea & Brie to change are their basic little blue teapots. They stood out like a sore thumb; should be replaced with a much more fancier tea pot (to add too) the interior decor even more.

So cute! My best friend and I have a tradition of going to afternoon tea for our birthdays, and…read morethis spot was perfect for our celebration! We loved the selection of teas, sandwiches, and desserts -- and especially appreciated that the scones came with clotted cream (a must!). Our server was kind, and it was easy to make a reservation. We also loved that our table was ready for us right when we arrived. The space is beautifully decorated -- we adored the pinks, florals, and all the girly touches. It's the perfect place for a girls' day out to sip tea and spill a little too!

So far we've tried the milk chocolate key lime truffle and the fleur de sel sea salt caramel truffle and they both were so good! The caramel was thin and tasty and the salt really balanced the sweetness. Their key lime truffle is definitely a top contender, if not number 1, because they were able to pack so much of the lime flavor into a truffle. We definitely recommend this store and will be returning!

We love the southern classics at Ramsey's - the chicken and dumplings, pinto beans, and creamed corn are all reminiscent of my childhood. Ramsey's did a great job recreating my favorite summer meal - white bread, fresh tomatos and creamed corn. I love how they accommodated my crazy request, and I appreciated the value for our meal for 6 (4 adults, 2 teens). Pro tip: Ramsey's is great for larger parties, with lots of large tables.

Locally owned and locally sourced items There is so much to choose from - all local, including some of Ramsey's menu items like chicken & dumplings, meatloaf, and other dishes ready to take home and heat up. For the small size of the store, it's packed with Missy's homemade pies, the carry out meals, spices & sauces, fresh veggies and fruit, and a huge assortment of their jams, jellies, and pickled vegetables. There are even more items I can't remember to mention. I bought the pickled okra, chow chow, pickled green tomatoes, and pickled artichoke. I can't name any as a favorite as all were so darned delicious! Can't wait to return to purchase more - I think I'll try some of the jams and maybe pick up one of Missy's Pies.
