I LOVE the donuts at this place! My favorite are the plain glazed. They?re all very unique to this place and thick, so very filling. The coffee is good too. Everything is affordable, the inside is a vibe, and the service is 10/10. The parking is accessible with street and 2 actual parking lots too.
On a cold, snowy morning, North Lime was a welcome respite. I am gluten free and they only do gluten free donuts on Fridays. But the brewed coffee was great as was my seat next to the window watching the snow fall.
We love North Lime! The coffee and tea selections are great, with interesting monthly specials. The donuts are fantastic, with a core selection of familiar flavors and a few unique flavors that change daily. There?s plenty of parking and good seating. Our favorite place in town for coffee and donuts!
Love the donuts. Enjoyed the coffee. I loved the new sausage breakfast sandwich. Support local businesses. Be careful, the donuts can sell out early. Most delicious March madness contest out there
Great coffee and donuts, I've been coming here for years as an occasional treat and to spend some time getting remote work done. The coffee specials are always fun but definitely on the sweeter side if that's your thing. They've recently started roasting their own beans in house too and so far I'm really liking their offerings there! Great atmosphere too, plenty of seating between the area in the coffee shop itself and the rest of Greyline, and overall good vibes.
Popped in really quick. Great spot. Has an espresso and their Maple Glazed Cake donut. Donut was good. Wouldn?t try it again. Crispy edges were best. The selection in on point and the ambiance is nice with lots of room to sit.
Clearly a local fav, was very busy but efficient! We walked over from our Air BnB - had amazing coffee and donuts (and hot limited hot sandwiches). Hours at Greyline Station are kind of odd and vendors not open at odd hours - but coffee shop was open majority of the time so we frequented it often. Nice vibe to hang and can also hangout in the atrium of Greyline. (Bohemian Latte special WAS AMAZING)
Our group got hot latte?s and they were well steamed and the coffee was pretty smooth. The cafe latte oatmilk allowed me to taste the bean and it was a little dark for my personal taste but still enjoyable. They have a variety of unique donuts. We got the plain glazed, dark chocolate orange filled, and lemon cake donut. We enjoyed it all!
Donuts are good, but for us the coffee is what stands out. We love the seasonal drinks. The staff has always been super friendly and happy. After a long week it?s our special treat to go to North Lime!
Would LOVE to give this place 5 stars because there is a lot that's fantastic here. The space, design, and offerings are great! Space: 6/5 Having a donut to support a social cause: 6/5 Food: We got a tie die donut (10% of proceeds go to Pride causes), cookies and cream cheesecake, chocolate iced, and plain glazed. They were great! (5/5) Drinks: We got an iced peanut butter banana latte (special drink for the day/week) (5/5) and drip coffee (3/5). Service: not outright rude, not nice either. (4/5) Upda
Great vibes! If you like coffee shops and donuts, this is a cool place. They were playing the Smiths and Smashing Pumpkins. The donuts were like cake donuts, but not as sweet, and I appreciate the fact they weren't overly frosted nor too sweet. Good balance of flavors. Also apparent in the specialty coffee I got.
Ummm..... not really my cup of tea??. However, the atmosphere is FANTASTIC, love the look of the inside of the building!!!! Wasn't too impressed with the donuts ,felt they were a little to hard and kinda dry. Chocolate milk was just mediocre (nothing to write home about in my opinion) Service was so so. Went in on a Sunday morning around 9am and just kinda felt like the employees was in outta space somewhere ???????????????????? no Good Morning,How may help you or anything.. So I just started placing m
Great donuts and coffee! Great for eating in or grabbing something to go. There are a lot of places to sit, which was nice because that is fairly uncommon for a donut shop. Everyone working was very friendly. I saw some reviews that the prices were ?too expensive? but my donut was $1.25. They sell out quick so get there early!
Awesome place.. AMAZING donuts ?? ??!!!!! They also have quality coffee ??. My favorite is the atmosphere. Very cool place to grab a coffee and a good doughnut! Looks like there?s a shared space with additional tables too!
The coffee is great - but the star of the show is the donuts! DO NOT PASS UP THE DONUTS!! You will regret it. I live a couple hours away and we make an effort to pickup a couple dozen anytime we?re in Lexington.
When we stopped at 1 pm they had no donuts. No foods or pastries of any kind at all every thing was out. The coffee drink I got was really good though!!! Wished they would have had some foods to try when there. There was a vintage festival inside the building.
Donuts are so fluffy and delicious! Tasted fresh and square lol! Vanilla latte did not have a noticeable vanilla flavor but was still a good latte!
Great donuts and delicious Nate's Coffee always available. Come for the donuts and coffee, stay for the cool art on the walls! Changes monthly, but these were some of my faves. Small place, but has a cool mix of homey and hip for a coffee house. Plus! Nice covered outdoor seating with a couple picnic tables. Folks here are also super friendly and love to share their faves. Good folks, good donuts, and good coffee. It's great!
Well this is my wife's and myself first time here and it is great. Doughnuts are unbelievable and my hot caramel macchiato is great!! I highly recommend. I I leave in area I be here every day!!
You can?t go wrong with North Lime for coffee and donuts! Their signature square shape is the best! I love the blackberry filled donut. They have delicious coffee and I love their limeades in the summer.
Beautiful space lots of sitting areas for work or relaxation. The donuts were very tasty. Would purchase again along with the coffee lots of different varieties of coffee. I give it a four star only because service was a little slower and not very chatty.
Well I try to stay away from places dedicated to cakes, pies and donuts...why?? Because there is no just let me eat one and sure enough on my hunt for a new breakfast spot I end up at North Lime coffee & donuts..oh man if you love the smell of coffee and baked goods well you gotta go. I went to the location in Greyline station. I loved the whole look of the place, and oh man the display of donuts looked like a magazine article. It hard to decide, dont go looking to just get one of those beauties..I decided
??GLUTEN FREE DONUT ALERT! ?? All the donuts here looked incredible. I have celiac disease so was excited to see that they had gluten free donuts!!! I restrained myself and bought just two. These were probably the best gluten free donuts that I have ever eaten. Excellent texture and flavor.
Oh my gosh the gluten free donut is so soft and delish! I?ve never had a GF donut as soft and good as this one ! Such a quaint place too! We are traveling and I made my husband stop as a pop up stop on our trip !!! Well worth it !!!! Love it and thanks for the extra surprise ! Wish you were close to us, it?s a good thing I live so far away!
The staff was very friendly and helpful for my first time here. I got several recommendations when I asked. Ended up going with a hazelnut coffee which is different than my normal chocolate and it was delicious! Also had options of alternative milks such as the almond milk I got in my coffee. It was also easy to find the wifi password, which I appreciate.
Flavors were fun and the store is gorgeous. The texture of the doughnuts was nice and the latte was great. However the drinks took forever to be made and we were missing some of our items when we left the store.
Very different takes on donuts. My wife said the Peppermint bark latte was really good and not too sweet. Beware that the daily specials on their website are not accurate however. The donuts are really good and obviously made with quality ingredients. The small, off beat place is staffed with really nice people who dont rush you and are happy the help. Highly recommended if you are looking for a place that is a step above the usual fare.
Honestly, I drove 35 minutes each way to get these donuts. They rock. Also, NoLi Coffee & Donuts do daily special donuts that are fun (and make them fun to follow on Instagram). I?ve only ever gotten the donuts to go, but the vibe of the shop is nice and chill. I don?t live in Lexington, but sometimes I?ll think about these donuts and I wish that I did.
Just yum! Visited 2x in 2 days just to try new flavors before leaving town and to take some home from my weekend trip. Great texture, huge flavor and the vegan options are totally amazing!
Amazing coffee and great donuts! If i could give them more than 5 ??s I would!
I always try and stop by this coffee shop when I?m in Lexington! They recently changed locations but it?s much larger and more accommodating. The coffee is great, and the donuts are delicious. Always a great place to stop by in Lex.
Good mix of yeast and cake donuts. One of our coffees was good but the bourbon honey special tasted bad to the point we threw it out for food safety concerns. Decent seating areas.
Was able to snag a gluten free donut. Great service and donuts.
Neat spot, but we won't be back. The donuts tasted old and dry. Took 20 minutes to get one iced coffee. The barista and cashier were hardworking, but the other two employees were too busy socializing to refill the empty water canister or help the barista with the long line of customers waiting for drinks. They also didn't bother re-making a customer's hot drink that was supposed to be iced. No care for customer service. Bummer since it's a cool atmosphere and the coffee was pretty good.
Nice place. Coffee is just ok. We tried maple bacon and plain doughnuts. They are pricey but good. I recommend to warm them up. Enjoy!
Quaint place in an old bus depot. The Moravian was delicious. They also make the best vegan cake donut I've had to date. Everything was very rich. The open space in the larger building allows one to enjoy the Donut on site in store or in a relaxed setting in the common area.
Great donuts and even better espresso! Nice people and pleasant service
Genuinely, this is the best donut you'll ever have. The staff was wonderful, the coffee was on point and the donuts were out of this world. My only problem is that I don't live close enough to get there more often!
They have gluten free donuts on the weekends, check the website for donut schedule
This place never disappoints. I was craving donuts this morning and all I could see was me standing in line devouring this chocolate iced beauty. The crew is always handy to make a recommendation if needed but come on, do you really need a recommendation after seeing these beauties
This place is amazing! They have delicious creative and classic donuts that are on a rotating menu, as well as awesome drinks. My fiance and I went there for 1 donut and left with six because we just couldn't decide between all the delicious sounding options. They did not disappoint! They also have an awesome super berry herbal tea and merch with their very aesthetically pleasing logo. I am already planning my next trip here!
At the cashier?s suggestion I tried a Butter Coffee Brew and OH MY GOSH was it delicious. They had fun doughnut choices, a game for my little girl and I to play while we ate, the shop was clean and vibe was light.
The donuts were SO cakey and delicious! The coffee was also so good! Not a super long wait and fast service!
Friendly & helpful staff, relaxing atmosphere, great drink options, and amazing donuts. I only wish they had the gluten-free donuts available every day! ??
Crazy cool place! Donuts were amazing! Very spacious, relatively quiet, good wifi, comfy seating, and friendly service. Didn?t have coffee on this visit.
Fantastic coffee / donut shop, relaxed atmosphere, delicious coffee, friendly staff and the donuts are ?knock it out of the park? scrumptious, there?s something for everyone here.
Good donuts with fun variety! The pumpkin spice glazed was perfect for a cool October day and the Funkfetti had the perfect cake flavor and density, without being dry.
Small but comfy inside and places to sit outside in good weather. Good donuts and coffee/espresso drinks. Especially like the blackberry-filled and funkfetti donuts. Coffee drinks are priced pretty similar to Starbucks, taste slightly better. They also have a March Madness donut competition. Only drawback is that the specialty donuts can get a little pricey, but generally worth it.
Excellent donuts and friendly staff. I go every morning I am in Lexington.
Always delicious! Nice people! My son and I always enjoy going. Love the grey line station locations.
BEST DONUTS EVER! A colleague recommended these and they did not disappoint. Try the plain glazed. They were still warm when I bought them and they changed my life?s perspective. Lightly sweet with a texture that crushes softly in the mouth- they have done it right.
Awesome! Vegan and gluten free donuts that are equally delicious as their regular donuts. Always satisfied. Great staff.
Absolutely great spot for coffee and donuts. Can't recommend enough!
Best donuts ever!!! Just wish you could offer the gluten free donuts every day! Coffee is very good as well. We love coming here any time we are in Lexington.
Absolutely love this donut shop!! Donuts and coffee are always amazing and staff is friendly and efficient.
It's great to be able to find healthier donuts without many unhealthy chemicals added.
The last several times I?ve come here they?ve been completely out of plain glazed donuts. Both locations consistently run out of donuts well over an hour before closing. And the weird part is they think just happens. And they laugh like IKR. Ummm? no. You keep running out because you?re not making enough to meet the demand. They?re nice but lazy.
Nice coffee, nice donuts. What's not to like?
Ah!!! The best vegan donuts in town. Every day a different flavor. It?s hard to stay away.
Everyone is lovely. The staff is knowledgeable and makes you feel so welcomed! I know it?s a donut shop, but they have THE BEST coffee roasted in house. Definitely on my favorites list!
Love the maple bacon doughnut. Drove 3.5 hours for a dozen. I havent been here on a monday in three years!
Fun donut flavors. Decent selection of espresso-based drinks.
I ordered a hot mocha that I waited over 30 minutes for and when I went to ask them where the coffee was the lady at the register looked at me as if I were being weird. They forgot about the coffee and then the coffee was just a hot unflavored coffee with no mocha in it. I had to throw it away, that?s very disappointing
We came here looking for Vegan donuts. Now I am not a Vegan (actually a Carnivore) but the wife went over to the Dark Side years ago so I do have Vegan items from time to time. I must say the vegan donuts we did get were pretty good. We went on a Saturday when the vegan of the day was strawberry filled. I had one and the strawberry filling really made for a good donut but a 5 napkin event. We went back on Sunday and picked up a dozen glazed & chocolate frosted. When we got home they were snarfed up by all t
The baristas are always friendly and professional. My latte is top notch regardless of who is working. The chocolate iced donut is my favorite followed by any of the cake donuts.
Fantastic place and the best cup of coffee in town . And the staff was very friendly and helpful we will definitely go back.
I love the donuts and the coffee. There is free parking on the side of the building.
I love their doughnut selection at Greyline Station. The staff are always polite and fun. The coffee selection is good. The doughnuts are huge and well priced. I love going there to start my mornings.
the coffee is amazing, the donuts are awesome, and the PEOPLE who work here are the friggin best. Just an all-around wonderful place to spend any amount of time you might have. This is a very special place.
I?ve never had a bad experience, every time you walk in the door there?s a smiling face and warm voice that greets you. The donuts are always fresh, delicious and simply amazing!!
On a road trip with the family, enjoyed our time here. Doughnuts and lattes were delicious, our boys especially loved the monkey bread one. Definitely worth a visit.
I'm not really much of a donut person, but I do love donuts from this place! The yeast donuts actually have some substance to them, and the flavors are delicious as well as creative! They also have excellent, locally roasted coffee, whether you prefer hot, iced, espresso drinks, or even flavored concoctions, and they have specialty iced teas as well. Check their website for the current specials.
Wow!the taste and the fine donuts they make are awesome.I am from Houston Tx.And for Lexington North Lime Coffee and ?? are the best in the city...
This place would land in my top 5 places for donuts. The Nutella filled and cinnamon roll donut were amazing! The dirty chai latte is average. The cinna holes are decent, but the top few are a little crunchy. Not sure if these just baked longer or were an older batch. If you are in Lexington and craving donuts, I highly recommend popping by. There are options for every taste.
I REALLY enjoyed my morning stop here! Service was amazing (they even saved my life leaving my wallet, thank everything), the apple cider drink tasted amazing, and the donuts were cold but tasted really good! Will be back when I have the time! :)))
The coffee is on par with a lot of local coffee shops, that is to say a lot better than sbux. The donuts are pretty good, better than most places around town. The place itself has a chill kind of atmosphere, but each time I've been there (just less than a half dozen), I feel like I'm not quite hipster enough to fit in there. The staff is friendly enough, but it's just a weird feeling. Maybe once you hit 50 you're automatically a boomer and instantly are not hip. But since I'm a Gen x-er, I kind of thrive on
Really cool building and atmosphere to sit and enjoy a coffee/donut. My wife wasn't overly impressed with her mocha, but I got one of the specialty drinks that was amazing! Their donuts were also delicious. If you're looking for a quite place to study or work, this would be a great spot.
Great donuts! Must be good. Local police enjoying the donuts, too!
Pretty inexpensive for a homemade donut, however they carried in size tremendously. Some were average sized and some were pretty massive. Would appreciate seeing a little more consistency in frying times. The darker ones have a toasted vanilla flavor, delicious. A little more dense than a airy donut, a little more airy than cake donuts. Somewhere in between.
Always great donuts. I got coffee the last time I went and it was delicious too. I should have known. They really create some amazing donuts. Each of their creations are exactly how they named them. I have to try each of them just to see how each tastes. Yes, they are that good.
My wife and I were in from out of town on a Saturday. We found this really cool shop at Greyline Station. It was early afternoon and they had already sold a ton, but we managed to score a couple of the bourbon ball filled donuts. They were amazing! If you?re in Lexington, be sure to visit North Lime Coffee and Donuts. You?ll be glad you did.
Great service and great coffee. Wish they had a drive thru lol Id stop more often.
Cute building, chill atmosphere, and friendly staff! The donuts are amazing. They?re fluffy on the inside with a soft crunch on the outside. Really good espresso too! They have the best lattes in Lexington that I?ve found so far. Try the honey badger!!
I got a couple dozen donuts for my wedding and everything worked out perfectly. They were able to deliver them to our venue on time and fresh. I wish I still lived nearby so I could frequent this place more often. Their specialty donuts are always delicious!
North Lime is a quirky little spot for some great donuts and coffee. I wasn't really sure what to expect out of square donuts. The place seemed like it had the potential to be about style over substance, because there is certainly no lack of style; I liked the logo so much that I bought my girlfriend a shirt. Luckily, the donuts live up to that style, 100%. They have a rotating cast of characters, and different locations will have different specialties on different days, so do yourself a favor and check th
This coffee/donut shop is a great little place that I wish I had in my hometown. The guy who checked me out was such a nice person. On top of that, his recommendation for a drink was really good (and something that I'd never tried before). Their donuts also taste really good, and I love the creativity that goes into the donuts.I can't imagine many more relaxing mornings than on their patio with a coffee and donut, especially with good friends.
I drove 20 minutes out of my way coming back from vacation in search of gluten free donuts. I had read great reviews. But when I arrived and tried to order a donut, they didn't have them today. No beuno. Don't recommend casually stopping in if you are searching for a gluten free donut. The staff were fairly nice and they didn't mess up my coffee order (but they did for someone else in my group).
To the beautiful soul who took my order and recommended me an oat milk latte with white mocha and birthday cake, you have immaculate taste & were a ray of sunshine.
