Nate's Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Lexington

I really enjoyed this place, it has several tables inside as well as picnic tables outside. They do sell merchandise as well such as tee shirts & bags of coffee. They offer a small selection of baked goods as well . I had the caramel butter apple latte which was really good . Previously I've had a mocha and it was just as good . They are definitely consistent with their lattes . The only downfall should you choose to sit outside is you may or may not be approached by people either asking for money or cigarettes . However that should not be held against the business . Personally I was approached two different times sitting outside within the span of 30 minutes by two different people asking for cigarettes. The first man didn't bother me at all , the second man sat down with me while I was on the phone and tried to start a conversation. I'm born and raised in New York so I'm not leary of people here but the second man had me on high alert . I thankfully had to get up and go to my appointment and even if I hadn't I still...

My husband and I are from the Cincinnati area, but we stayed a night in Lexington at the 21C for the heck of it before taking a vacation to Red River Gorge for a few days last week. This coffee shop is a very short walk from that hotel, and we try to go to local shops where we can, so it was kind of a no-brainer to try this place for an afternoon coffee when we got to town. We liked it and the staff so much we actually went back the next morning...admittedly after I tried to find a Starbucks to finish off a gift card I had, but most of those around downtown are apparently closed during the week. I had no regrets about coming here twice though; the coffee is fantastic. I had a mocha latte the first time and tried their pumpkin pie latte the following morning and both were amazing.

And honestly, this place has better prices than Starbucks too lol.

If we visit Lexington again, especially if we stay at the 21C again, this is going to be a morning...

Nate’s Coffee is the best! I go here every couple of weeks for get the freshest most perfectly roasted coffee beans. I’ve tried many of their roasts from light to dark and have never been disappointed. None of their roasts are burnt like something you would get at Starbucks and everything is super smooth. I also like that I get to support a local small business while getting a superior product. As a bonus, you get a free drink when you buy a bag of beans. I always get a Nitro Cold Brew which is the best! The staff here is always really friendly and I love the atmosphere of the shop. The only inconvenience I run into is knowing where to park. Finding street parking can be a struggle so I usually park in the Victoria Square parking deck and walk...
