McLeod's Coffee House — Restaurant in Lexington

I had heard from my Daughter Sydney many great things about McLeod's Coffee House specific to the business placing a focus on helping and employing people with Special Needs and I had to check it out. For a coffee shop to make it I believe a shop has to have more than just a great cup of coffee. When we arrived I loved the Sculptures that were greeting us outside and the giant Carousel in the window. Little did I know but this was just a teaser to all of the interesting items that were located inside. We hadn't even tried the coffee yet and I already realized this was a special place. So now we tried the coffee and although not surprised I was happy that the coffee was also very good. I ordered a Vanilla Latte and my wife ordered the Autumn Harvest and both were prepared perfectly! There are some food options as well although we didn't eat anything during this visit. When we sat down to enjoy and wander the shop and all of it's wonders the Owner sat down with us and truly made us feel at home. This place is a big win and I challenge you to check it...

We checked out @mcleodscoffeehouse this morning! We will definitely go back. The bacon cheddar croissant and the donuts were delicious! My hot chocolate was pretty and tasty. The decor was beautiful. I want them to decorate my house! But most importantly the environment was warm. This coffee house prides itself on hiring individuals with different abilities. These individuals are letting their abilities shine. Jonathon was a fantastic greeter that made us feel welcome. He was so kind to my daughter Scarlett who has Down syndrome. The individuals working the counter were fantastic. When Scarlett wondered the coffee house she was welcomed with warm smiles. The owner was friendly. His pride and passion was obvious. He pointed out the beautiful art work created by a young lady with autism. He also showed me the chill out room that has dim lights and less sound for individuals that need a calmer environment. I hope this coffee house is the first of many places where people of all abilities belong and have a seat...

Honestly so many great things I could write here! As someone with a more fragile immune system, I loved that they have an air filtration device designed to protect patrons from COVID. As as environmentalist, I loved that their cups are compostable and made of recycled materials. The coffee was amazing! (Would def recommend the lavender vanilla latte.) The vibe is so fun and filled with welcoming and interesting decor. And the people are just fabulous! Friendliest staff. My favorite thing about coffee houses, in general, is the way strangers can open up to each other and how everyone seems more like a friend than a stranger, and McLeod’s truly embodies this! I genuinely cannot wait to go back and meet more staff VIPs! Welcoming and inclusive environment where anyone and everyone is safe to hang out and will be immediately treated like a friend! Such a cool concept and after just one visit, I can confidently say it’s one of my favorite places...
