We shared a slice of Martine's Pastry double chocolate cake and wow, it was divine, so rich, fudgy, and absolutely worth the indulgence. The variety of coffee choices was seriously next level! We shared a cup of their decaf espresso and it was smooth, bold, and perfectly balanced. Definitely a spot we'll be revisiting. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and explained how their process worked. Very neat spot.

Truly just an amazing spot. Not sure where to start or even end but overall just so much to offer…read more Their coffee was all incredible, fantastic selection for people with all sorts of tastes. In addition to coffee, there was an incredible array of teas available as well both for drinking and purchase. The interior space was incredible, large and expansive while maintaining cozy and inviting vibes. Seating options were plentiful, great for studying, hanging out with friends, or even just quickly sitting down to enjoy a cup and snack. The shop area was also quite nice with so many coffee and tea options from all over available fresh as well as various trinkets and jsut fun goodies available for purchase, all at quite honestly some fair prices. Was great for perusing through while sipping on a fantastic cup. The staff were all incredibly friendly, but one area that needed some improvement was just how slow everything was. Not sure where the choke was but the line just refused to move despite not even being that long, and it kept doing this. This was not only at the coffee counter too, even at the store counter at first there was just nobody behind it for quite some time as a line formed and we all just looked around for a worker. And then finally one meandered on up, and while e they were kind and friendly, the service was just oh so slow which was quite frustrating. Besides the slow service though I will say it is a fantastic little spot. Unassuming on the outside but once you walk through the doors such an incredible space full of coffee, tea, and so much fun. Would def recommend (just not if in a rush) and will likely return!

Oh hey there Chocolate Holler! I dig the new location :)…read more Located in Greyline Station, it was much easier to find parking here in the large lot behind the building versus the tiny lot at the previous location. It's been exactly one year since we last visited that old location, which has since closed. Though I have many years of memories tied to that one, I'm glad to see that business didn't close entirely. We were welcomed by a super-friendly and super-helpful barista who answered any of my "what is vegan?" questions. I ordered a Sipping Chocolate made with Davao, Philippines Dark Chocolate by Askinosie. Pinay-me was curious to taste chocolate by my people. It's delicious! https://bit.ly/3JHeBQL Hubby had the Brownie Batter Hot Chocolate. Also tasty! We actually came back five days later and had the Chocolate Chai. Yum! All of our drinks were made with oatmilk. Although this location is smaller than the OG location, it actually is very space-efficient with an abundant amount of tables and bar height seating. Also, a bit of outdoor seating and a few spots to sit around Greyline Station. They brought over remnants from the previous location such as board games and a collection of coffee sleeves with written messages on them.

That was a pleasant surprise. The ambiance is very casual and welcoming. We both wanted some coffee and have never been to the chocolate holler so we came here. I had the white blossom drink and my husband had the sleeping bear. Both of our drinks were pretty good. Wish more espresso was given without extra charge but that seems like most places these days. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the drinks were tasty. Would definitely come back here when craving unique chocolatey treats.

Usually my go to order is the LARGEST hot or iced Dirty Chai they have, both ways have been really good, especially the iced(For me personally I don't like a lot of ice in my beverage so it doesn't get watered down, but HB doesn't put a lot of ice in their drinks anyway!) Lately I have been getting their new item Berry Matcha and it is PERFECT! Not too sweet. I have also always had a good experience with the team, they are knowledgeable about their products and very patient with customers(Sometimes I don't know how to ask for what I want and they have always gotten me!)

Before I ever visited Shibam Coffee, I have to admit I gave them a hard time on TikTok. Their…read morevideos kept showing how beautiful the space was, and I kept thinking, "You're a coffee shop--I want to see the coffee! The walls aren't going to make me want to visit." Well...I have to give them credit. The space really is gorgeous. The coffeehouse is spread across two levels with plenty of comfortable seating, making it a great place to relax, study, or catch up with friends. I visited around 10 p.m., and I really appreciate having a local coffee shop that's open that late. Since it was my first visit, I asked the employee for recommendations. He suggested a matcha drink or something made with Red Bull, and I don't think we were quite on the same wavelength. Personally, if I'm going to a coffeehouse, I'm there for coffee--not a Red Bull drink--so those recommendations didn't really fit what I was looking for. I ended up ordering a 16-ounce Shibam iced latte with almond milk and half the normal amount of sugar, and there's no denying it--it was excellent. The balance of flavors was spot on, and I wouldn't change a thing. Because it was later in the evening, I didn't try any pastries or desserts. The display case was pretty picked over by that point, which is understandable. Now let's talk about the price because that's what everyone in the Lexington Foodies group seems to be discussing. I get it. It is expensive. My 16-ounce latte was just under $10, and if I had added one of the pastries, I would have been looking at around a $25 coffee break. That's a tough price point to justify on a regular basis. For me, this isn't going to become part of my everyday routine, no matter how much I enjoyed the coffee. It'll be more of an occasional treat when I'm in the mood to splurge. Overall, I was genuinely impressed with the quality of the latte and the beautiful atmosphere. I'll definitely be back at some point to try one of their matcha drinks and a pastry--hopefully a little earlier in the day when there's a fuller selection to choose from. #LexingtonFoodies #ShibamCoffee #LexingtonKY #CoffeeLover #KentuckyEats

After seeing all the buzz on social media, my girlfriends and I had to check out Shibam Coffee and…read moreI'm so glad we did! This coffee shop has the kind of atmosphere that feels like a hidden gem you'd stumble across while traveling in another city. Since it's not often I get the chance to try Yemeni coffee, I ordered the Shibam Latte, their signature latte made with honey and traditional Yemeni spices. It was the perfect balance of unique flavor, different from any latte I've had in Lexington, but not overpowering. I'll definitely be ordering it again. This is such a great spot for a girls' coffee date, but it's also perfect if you're just looking to grab a quick drink. The only hiccup was that my order was accidentally forgotten, so I waited quite a while before checking in. However, their service recovery was exceptional. They sincerely apologized, upgraded my latte to a large, and even offered me one of their signature pastries at no charge. Mistakes happen, but it's how a business responds that really stands out, and they handled it with genuine kindness. Overall, it ended up being a fantastic experience, and I'll definitely be back. If you've been thinking about trying Shibam Coffee, it's absolutely worth the visit!

The pastry's were so great as well. Then you get to the inside and it is a nothing short of stunning.. look at the picture on my review and hopefully you agree. They even have a program that gives you a free drink if you clean up trash around the property and the city.. it is also a coworker location it is like they have it all.. if you are out in Lexington this is the place for you.. one reservation that almost took away one star was that they only have 10oz cups. But I told the person I was in the road and they gave me a second cup for a refill price.. and that last help made my day.. great place don't miss it if you are here.
