Chocolate Peanut butter shake
Rick V.

Great ice cream parlor. My son and I really enjoyed it. If you're in the area stop by and try it for yourself.

Fun little place in Lexington. The nieces loved it! Had blue Raspberry. The whole family lived it.

I got a single scoop with a cake cone. 1/2 vanilla and 1/2 orange sherbet.

If you're in the area definitely stop by!!! It was really good ice cream with big portion sizes! And they have relatively low prices.

Five stars for homemade ice cream in more than a dozen flavors! Convenient location downtown, three cone options, and absolutely delicious. The tile floor and old school tables, as well as the bulk candy for sale in the back, make this fee like a step back in time. We tried vanilla, chocolate, and chocolate peanut butter. Delicious! And don't forget - cash only!

Homemade goodness for dessert. Looking for something sweet and cool during the heat of the summer? Cool off at Sweet Things Ice Cream! Easy to walk from some of downtown Lexington's favorite restaurants so easy to splurge for dessert after a good meal!

Someone local recommended Pronto Caffé & Gelateria to us on our first day in Lexington -- and I…read moretruly regret waiting until our last day in town to make a visit. This little shop is fantastic. From 8 AM into the afternoon, they offer delicious coffee, tea, hot chocolate, pastries, and snacks that feel both cozy and elevated. We had hot chocolate, tea, coffee, a pain au chocolat, and a butter croissant -- everything was warm, fresh, and absolutely perfect. It was so good that a few miles down the road, I seriously considered turning around to get more. The staff was incredibly friendly and patient, answering all of our questions without rushing us (there were enough staff working that there was no line). The atmosphere is clean, bright, and inviting -- the kind of place you want to linger in. Next time we're in Lexington, this will be a daily stop. Highly recommend.

This café had some conventional breakfast options, but also offered the appealing ability to get a…read moregelato ice cream sandwich over a brioche. I went ahead with that, and it was both redundant of classic ice cream sandwiches, but also delivered a highly pure dairy flavor typical of quality gelato. I got a Matcha to balance out the sweetness. While it looks a little foamy on top, it was a very strong, almost grass flavored beverage that was appropriate to the circumstance. Some premade grab and go food options may be decent, but did not appeal to my needs at that time.

The first night we ordered the stuffed cod and burgers, along with beers and soft drinks. Everything was fantastic. The food was flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly, and the service was quick and genuinely friendly. We liked it so much that we went back again the same weekend. The second time we had burgers, a club sandwich, fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese, a punch cocktail, a tall beer, and soft drinks -- and once again, everything was spot-on. Consistently great food and great service both times. We went in around 8:00 p.m. the first night, and the staff was cheerful and energetic -- you would have thought they had just started their shifts. That's a huge plus when dining a little later in the evening. Everyone we spoke to said it's a local favorite, and after our experience, we completely understand why. If we had more time in town, we probably would have eaten there a third time. Definitely a must-stop in Lexington!

We…read morewere greeted quickly, and shortly after being seated, we were brought salsa and chips--which were excellent. The chips were clearly fresh out of the fryer, perfectly crisp, and paired with a flavorful salsa that had a nice hint of heat. We both ordered the Speedy Gonzales, featuring a cheese enchilada, beef taco, and refried beans. As expected, everything was consistently good and exactly what we've come to enjoy from that dish. The restaurant itself has a great look and feel, making it an easy and enjoyable stop for lunch. We would certainly come back again if we're ever in the area

They had a lot of customers dining in and a few picking up takeaway orders. It didn't take very long for them to take our orders and to have it come out of the kitchen. They have a spacious dining area that is decorated very much on theme with Mexican-inspired decor and murals. It was cute. I ordered carnitas and a frozen mango margarita. We also ordered guacamole to share for the table. The carnitas plate was a filling portion and was quite flavorful. I quite enjoyed it. I was really disappointed with the frozen margarita; it tasted just like juice, and I was kind of looking forward to drinking a stronger margarita. We asked for a little bit more tequila to add to it, but it didn't help much. I think was balance was all out of wack. The guacamole we ordered also never made its way to our table, and we had to ask the cashier to confirm with our waiter that they need to take it off our bill because we never got it. Overall, we had an okay experience.

As a W&L alum, Napa Thai is always at the very top of my "must revisit" list whenever I'm back in…read moreLexington. I ate here all the time in college, and years later I still haven't found Thai food that hits quite the same. The ambiance is great, not too formal but still great for a date night. The food is consistently amazing. You really can't go wrong, but my personal favorites are the pad thai, panang curry, drunken noodles, and the fried rice. Everything is flavorful, comforting, and exactly what you want after a long day exploring or reminiscing in town. What makes this place even more special is the staff. They are unbelievably kind and welcoming whether you're there every week like I was during college or just stopping in every few years like I do now. They have also always been incredibly accommodating with my mushroom allergy, which I really appreciate. The fact that they even remembered me years later honestly says everything about the level of care here. Lexington may be a small town, but Napa Thai is truly a hidden gem and one of the places that makes coming back feel so nostalgic. If you're in the area, it's absolutely worth a visit

I had the basil duck with a spice level of 5 that automatically came that way. I would have went atleast 8 or 9, 5 isn't spicy at all but I wasn't given the option. Veggie rolls were ok, I do like they came cut in half. Service was pretty slow for it being empty. I would come back but I will check other places out first.
