7 bakeries in Lexington, editor-picked for bakeries open sunday. Bakeries baking on sundays. All bakeries in Lexington.

Spalding's Bakery ★ 4.7

east-end · 760 Winchester Rd, Lexington, KY 40505

Hours: Wed-Sat 06:30-12:00; Sun 07:00-12:00; closed Mon-Tue

Spalding's Bakery has hand-rolled glazed donuts for Lexington since 1929, and the Winchester Road queue still clears the cases well before the noon close.

Tip: Cash-friendly, morning-only and gone when the trays empty; aim for 08:00 on Saturdays.

DV8 Kitchen ★ 4.6

south-broadway · 867 S Broadway, Lexington, KY 40504

Hours: Mon-Fri 07:00-14:30; Sat-Sun 08:00-15:00

DV8 Kitchen bakes brioche, sourdough and cinnamon rolls on South Broadway while staffing every Lexington shift as second-chance employment in recovery.

Tip: Breakfast and lunch only; the cinnamon rolls sell out first and every purchase funds the second-chance mission.

Missy's Pie Shop ★ 4.4

east-end · 502 E High St, Lexington, KY 40502

Hours: Mon-Sun 08:00-17:00

Missy's Pie Shop, born from Ramsey's Diner's pie counter in 1989, bakes chess pies and seasonal fruit pies on East High Street for Lexington's holidays.

Tip: Open daily 08:00-17:00, but order whole pies days ahead for Thanksgiving and Derby week.

North Lime Coffee & Donuts ★ 4.4

north-limestone · 101 W Loudon Ave, Lexington, KY 40508

Hours: Mon-Sun 07:00-13:00

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.

Tip: Everything closes at 13:00 and the weirder donut specials go first; the Clays Mill shop opens at 06:00 on weekdays.

Southland Bagel ★ 4.3

southland-drive · 428 Southland Dr, Lexington, KY 40503

Hours: Mon-Fri 07:00-15:00; Sat-Sun 08:00-14:00

Southland Bagel hand-rolls New York-style bagels and boils them in Kentucky sorghum on Southland Drive, Lexington's family-owned bagel shop since 2019.

Tip: The bagels are hand-rolled and boiled in Kentucky sorghum; weekends close at 14:00, so go before the church rush.

Great Bagel & Bakery ★ 4.2

beaumont · 3650 Boston Rd, Lexington, KY 40514

Hours: Mon-Sun 07:00-14:00

Great Bagel & Bakery stone-mills organic flour in-house on Boston Road, hand-shaping the bagels Lexington's south side lines up for every morning.

Tip: Everything runs 07:00-14:00 daily; the milling happens in view, so ask which grain went into the day's bake.

Brevede Coffee Co. ★ 4.2

distillery-district · 1170 Manchester St, Lexington, KY 40508

Hours: Mon-Fri 07:30-18:00; Sat-Sun 08:00-18:00

Brevede Coffee Co. brews inside an original James E. Pepper rick house in the Distillery District, with an in-house bakery and a second shop on High Street.

Tip: The rick-house room is the atmospheric one; the East High Street shop is quicker for a weekday takeaway.
