Black Chicken Coffee - Lexington

Black Chicken Coffee is one of my favorites in Downtown Lexington, though I haven’t been in a while, grabbing an iced coffee and enjoying a seat on the large porch or in one of the comfy sitting rooms can never go wrong. The drink menu is also hefty with lots of unique Black Chicken specialities or the ability to create your own caffeinated masterpiece. And if you’re not a caffeine person but still like a tasty drink, I highly recommend the Peach Melba!!

Expensive coffee for mediocre quality. No doubt the taste is a step above Dunkin Donuts or the ever declining quality of Starbucks .. but undeserving of an exuberant price. Needless to mention, when I asked the attendant if the coffee would be freshly brewed she stated that it was made within the hour but stored in dispensing containers. Somewhat hard to fathom that all 6-8 blends were precisely brewed within the hour. Nonetheless I ordered a small cup with a shot of espresso (cost $4.60) .. and to my dismay it was served warm. Hot freshly brewed coffee is what I anticipated but received warm and questionably fresh coffee. Three stars at best.

Great coffee spot! Unique shop in an old house, with great character and finds inside. Superb coffee selection with rotating hot brews and an extensive latte/frappe menu. TONS of sugar free flavors !! Will be back next time in Lexington.

Excellent service, fair prices. The smell when you walk in, is so wonderful!

I have only tried the frozen coffee drinks at this restaurant, but they are always fantastic. They offer a wide variety of drink flavors that they have created, or you can customize your own. My favorite drink is the banana fosters blended coffee drink. The restaurant is located in the basement of a charming older house with multiple rooms for seating and work. Additionally, there is outdoor seating available. I have also purchased items here as gifts. They offer a punchcard and on Tuesdays, you earn double punches.
