Came across the American. The young lad in me wanted to get me a taste of a bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel. Sadly, my wishes were not met. When my bloke returned home with a smile on his face with anticipation of seeing my joy as I bite into my bagel. Something wasn't right. I examined the bagel and something was missing. In was a plain bagel with only bacon..... I was confused. Did I send him the wrong order? or was my mate just illiterate? If you guessed option 2. Your right. My mate is just a few sandwiches short of a picnic. Bagel was good. Bacon was good. My I never know how the egg and cheese would be. That will be one of life's true mysteries. How is the American from Great Bagel? Someone try it and let me know. To my gent. Get on games.

I would suggest in ordering on line for pick up to avoid the waiting. Having said that the person at the register was friendly and efficient. You can see them prepping the orders behind the counter. The bagel was good&so was the cream cheese spread. As well as the cold brew. There's plenty of seating inside and the tables that weren't occupied were clean. Seating is available outside as well you'll find a couple of tables which is where we decided to sit.

Giving this place 5 stars because of how amazing the veggie bagel is. I seriously had this maybe…read moretwo times a week for my last two months of my freshman year. I personally like garlic cream cheese and I add avocado and cucumber for a small extra fee and it's so worth it. I've introduced a good amount of people to this place, I love how unique and homey it feels in a way. Although, I will say I am not a fan of their coffee I've tried around 5 different coffees from here and some are better than others. They do offer other drink options so no big deal to me! I've only ever had one guy be slightly rude to me while ordering but that's not stopping me from the bagel lol.

To us as we walked across the street to Dudley's . We then walked back over, discovered she'd been cleaning up the outdoor seating for 3rd street stuff! What an amazing and super cool place! The artwork on the walls is colorful and expressive! The egg and cheese in everything bagels were divine, and the Secretariat latte ( what else would I order in Lexington???) was delicious - a combo of coffee, cinnamon, maple syrup, and a splash of vanilla The staff was lovely, the place very comfortable and colorful, food and coffee excellent!!! A MUST visit

The coffee was normal, but the bagel was outstanding. They make their bagels fresh in house and you could really tell by the texture and flavor. It was so delicious, and not overly filling like some bagel sandwhiches are. It hit the spot. The joint is spacious too to eat inside or to go. the place was busy, so the staff was busy, but very kind and quick. Def recommend if you're in the area and are craving a bagel or breakfast sandwhich. They also have some baked goods and desserts I want to try next time too!

They bakery staff were kind to offer advice and to offer to slice and/or pack up each loaf separately. The options rotate so I would call if you are looking for a particular item that is not in their regular plan. The pastry selection looked amazing but I would have loved a few more non-meat options since the other breakfast items looked amazing. The cookies are all worth a try - particularly the sorghum.

The coffee was wonderful and I'm excited to come back and try more things. The donuts were ok, but a little cakey. I'd probably get one again but it wasn't as fluffy as I was hoping.

They were nearly sold out, but the staff went above and beyond to make us a unique treat. They took their classic glazed donuts, dipped them in chocolate, and added crunchy peanuts on top. The result? The most airy, fluffy donuts we've ever had! Perfect balance of sweetness and texture, and the extra touch made it feel extra special. The ambiance is very causal laid back atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by early to get a taste of their delicious creations!

Einstein Bros. Bagels is easily my favorite place to eat on UK's campus. The bagel sandwiches are…read morereally good; I've tried the vast majority of them. I would recommend the Albuquerque Turkey if you want a hot filling sandwich and the Tasty Turkey or Turkey Bacon Avocado if you want something fresh. The bagels themselves and cream cheese spreads are also really good. The coffee is not good. If you're gonna get a drink, get one of the frozen drinks or (my favorite) a chai latte. Overall, I am extremely thankful for Einstein Bros as a student at UK who often tires of the dining hall. Also, the workers are respectful, and talk with a lot of conviction. Make sure to try them out!

We decided to try this place based on reviews but left disappointed. The reviews that we had seen…read moremade it seem like a typical donut shop that would have a big variety to pick from. Unfortunately they only had about 5 different pastries to choose from and they did not appear to be freshly made. We ended up leaving empty handed. It was very loud inside and the layout was confusing. People were going different directions to line up so I'm not sure which way you're actually supposed to line up. This place is more like a Starbucks than a donut shop which isn't our vibe.

We noticed North Lime Coffee & Donuts while visiting Chocolate Holler a day prior. It was late…read moreafternoon, so North Lime was already closed. But the next morning, Hubby was craving donuts so we headed straight to the Greyline Station location. First impression, the interior is much more spacious than I expected! Also, I really dig the music that is played. I inquired about the music, and they were playing Indie Coffee Shop Vibes on Spotify. There are a few cushy chairs to sit in, lots of tables, chairs, a few booths, and a tiny library with children's books about donuts. One wall has a colorful mural, and near one of entrances behind the coffee counter is a poser of Britney Spears with a speech bubble containing the bathroom code. Looking at the donut selection, there was one vegan option. I believe they always carry one vegan option with a rotating flavor. On this particular day, it was a Vegan Snickers Donut. It's a chocolate donut, two icings (one being chocolate), and crushed peanuts. The flavor brought me instand joy! I especially liked the little bit of crisp biting into this cakey donut. Yum! https://bit.ly/4hJoppT I also had a Earl Grey Tea Latte with Almond Milk. Not sure where they get their tea but I was wowed on that first taste. The barista who helped us was welcoming and friendly. I appreciated that she shared her favorites while we were making decisions on what to order. I wish we had an opportunity to visit a second day while visiting Lexington for the week. Will definitely come back the next time we're in town.
