Worth the queueBagel sandwiches on house-boiled bagels

TipEverything runs 07:00-14:00 daily; the milling happens in view, so ask which grain went into the day's bake.
La Petite Delicat ★ 4.2
La Petite Delicat pipes French macarons on National Avenue in the Warehouse Block, pairing Lexington's prettiest pastry case with espresso and tea.
Worth the queueMacarons in rotating flavours

North Lime Coffee & Donuts fries small-batch donuts to pair with espresso at Greyline Station, the Lexington morning ritual that sells out by early afternoon.
DrinkEspresso with a scratch-made donut
TipEverything closes at 13:00 and the weirder donut specials go first; the Clays Mill shop opens at 06:00 on weekdays.
