    Great doughnuts, we tried several. Loved the yeast chocolate glazed. A few we tried were maybe overcooked? Still very good, and good coffee. A nice doughnut destination!

    Really liked this donut and coffee shop in Greyline station. Cute interior, friendly staff, and delicious offerings. I recommend the blackberry goat cheese thyme donut.

    Coconut cream cold brew
    Phoebe M.

    Wow! I've been wanting to try this donut shop for awhile and I'm so glad I did. The creamsicle donut was light and fluffy. The coconut cream cold brew was delicious. The inside is a perfect atmosphere and I wish I had a place like this in my hometown to hang out. Lots of comfortable seating. There were so many flavors in the case - I'll be back to try more of them.

    While they no longer have my favorite donut (funnel cake ), North Lime Donuts is still a Saturday morning staple in our house! Our kids are happy to get coffee and a donut and we can burn the calories off by walking from our house. Staff is amazing and service is always fast and friendly!

    The donut and coffee / drink selection is unique and never disappoints! I love the seasonal options. This is the perfect spot to meet friends for a casual catchup, or to squeeze in a few hours of work.

    Iced pistachio oatmilk latte and a sticker!
    Nony Rose S.

    Pulled off the highway to grab a cup of coffee and thought I'd try a local brew. This place was so cute! They roast the coffee in house and my iced oatmilk pistachio latte was delightful. Both of the batistas were super sweet. I asked about their gluten free donuts and they apologized and said they only offer them Fridays. If I'm ever passing through Lexington on a Friday I will definitely stop in!

    One of the better places I usually like going. Recently I became homeless and for my self I run. Well I always used to run here and get a cup of coffee and without a doubt one of the best places to get coffee. You don't need flash or style just good people serving coffee.

    Trendy little spot in Lexington. I worked remotely here for a few hours when my flight home was delayed. Ended up grabbing a few donuts to sample, because how can you resist. Funfetti - meh. Just a sprinkle donut was hoping for funfetti cake on the inside. Oreo - great Funnel cake - pretty good Overall, coming from NJ/NY I have definitely had better donuts but the aesthetic here definitely hit the spot and the donuts were by no means bad, just not overwhelmingly good. I def recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

    Chocolate Iced Donut

    I tried one of the north lime locations in Louisville and wasn't super impressed but I thought I'd give this location a try and it was so much better. The donuts are definitely thiccccc but they aren't overly sweet. I got a chocolate glazed donut and it could use some more chocolate flavor with the icing but I enjoyed it. I also got an iced mocha which was delicious. The space itself is super spacious with lots of seating and plenty of people were there doing work. Nice redemption from my first experience!

    North Lime has multiple locations, but this one is actually on the northern part of Limestone and thus must be the namesake. It appears to be the crown jewel of Greyline station and offers a large interior seating environment and hot beverages, as well as a significant rotating donut selection, including a daily vegan specialty flavor and occasional GF options, which aren't easy to find with these sorts of desserts. And taste-wise, my vegan chai was not much different from my conventional chocolate glazed donut, with both being as indulgent as one would hope. It's not health food, but this is likely as good a donut as you can find around here.

    Plain donut and cortado
    George R.

    One of the first places I visited when I landed in Lexington a few years ago. The regular donuts reminded me of fry bread, and the cortado was amazing. I couldn't believe that a donut shoppe could make a better espresso drink than all of the coffee places in town - but that's how Lexington is - the best places are never the ones that you'd expect. FYI - they make the best hamburger for "Hamburger Week," but don't belong to that event. They just make their own and aren't part of the advertisements the "official sponsors" are part of. They even catered a number of events for my students over the years, and it was always great.

    North Lime was probably one of my favorite parts about visiting Lexington! My colleague and I stopped here for breakfast before a conference and it was a great choice! They have a variety of fresh, handmade donuts for reasonable prices. Their flavors were unique, but they also had some classics. I got a glazed, cinnamon sugar, and a chocolate milk. All were great. The staff was friendly, the inside was aesthetically pleasing and clean, and the store just had great vibes. Stop in for a donut or two the next time you're around.

    This place was super yummy and cute inside! The barista was very helpful. Definitely recommend their donuts and cinna-monkeys

    I've had Spalding donuts before but I've never been inside their shop. It smells so good in there!…read more I stopped by around 8:30 this morning and there were 3 or 4 people in the store. I didn't wait for long and the woman at the register was friendly. The store itself feels like its frozen in time in a good way. The building has a lot of character. I got two cinnamon sugar, chocolate confetti and a plain glazed donut for a little over 5.00. I wanted to eat my donut as soon as I got in the car but had some self control..Now that I'm home I can't promise I'll still have that same self control! They also have cakes, cheesecake tarts, cupcakes, cookies, brownies.

    Every time I go to Spaldings it's like a roll of the dice. I keep going hoping that I will get the…read moreincredibly delicious glazed doughnut that I know they can make. I would rave about them and even take them to Louisville for my son and his wife to enjoy. But now, more often than not, I get exactly what I received this morning. Stale tasting, old glazed doughnuts. A whole box full (2dozen). I woke up extra early and dropped in this morning to get glazed doughnuts for my office. When I got to work and they opened the box..... Just sad. I should have looked in the box at the bakery but it wouldn't have really made a difference, I am not a person to make a scene or cause any kind of ruckus. I googled reviews to see if any one else has consistently experienced this, which led me to leave this review. I am just so very frustrated. Call the store...tell the staff... for what? As long as people line up and they sell out, what difference does it make for one complaint? Not to mention they're not very welcoming when you go in to purchase. Not mean at all, they just seem bothered. I know what a good doughnut they can make and to spend $30 for old doughnuts just makes me sad. Why do this to people trying to patronize your business? I'm afraid that I have taken my last trip to Spaldings doughnuts. No excuse for old, dry, cold doughnuts at 7AM. Dry, embarrassing and a complete waste of money.

    My friend and I stopped by for a mid day pick me up yesterday …read more When we walked in we were the only ones there which was a surprise to me. I ordered a iced latte and my friend got a regular coffee. Normally I would add sugar to my drink but yesterday I didn't because it didn't need it. I think that if you can make something as simple as drip coffee or pull a smooth espresso shot you're definitely doing something right. I haven't had a bad cold brew/espresso drink there yet. They really are consistent with the drinks. My friend also ordered a plain donut but ended up with the cronut which she's not crazy about. They did try to fix the situation and gave her a keto donut. It goes a little sideways for me I did try the Keto donut and it was a nope for me. The glaze was really good but as for the plain Keto donut it was dry and crumbly.
