This delightful hideaway is located in the back of Michler’s Florest and Greenhouse. Parking in their lot is limited but there is plenty of street parking. We didn’t see any signs for the Cafe so we wandered around and shopped for flowers and plants until we found it. The most efficient way to get there is to just walk to …

Kentucky Native Café is a must visit when you’re in Lexington! Though I was not the biggest fan of my pretzel and beer cheese, I loved my drink and the entire place is just amazing. The staff, first of all, are so kind and friendly, and happy to help you find your way around! The café is attached to a …

What a wonderful place! We were a little unsure of where to park at first, but then figured out that we could park in the lot off of E High Street. It looks like they have a really nice outdoor area (probably more so used in the summer time), and inside the greenhouse is so neat with plants all over! …

I have been going to this lovely little cafe for several years and it is just the cutest place. Very peaceful and relaxing. They change the menu daily and the food reflects what is fresh in the market at the time. They have several vegetarian options and their baked goods are always delicious. The basic menu is setup to pick …

Heads up, no meat on the menu and they are small plates. That being said, the Roasted Cauliflower Soup was beautiful. The atmosphere was so unexpected.

This place is absolutely divine. We came in through the greenhouse and we're stunned at the size of the place! What incredible ambiance, we are totally smitten. All of the food options were delicious, the pastries perfectly baked, and we loved the rhubarb soda. The burrata share plate was another big hit, along with the peanut noodles.

There’s so much I can say about how amazing this place is. All the plants are so comforting and the little kids running around just gives a sense of home. This is my go to place whenever I am hanging out with people. I love that even though this is an open air space, there is still a privacy factor …

If I could only pick one place that I could go to every day in Lexington it would be KY Native. I mean, I love plants and delicious foods but this is more than that. Michler's has been at the heart of Lexington for over 100 years, so the roots are strong but they have grown a sanctuary here with …

I’m so glad I discovered this gem! The cafe is tucked away in a greenhouse, where you eat surrounded by a wide variety of gorgeous plants and flowers. The food was incredible each time I visited. All of the breads and pastries were fresh and homemade. The daily selections varied and were consistently interesting. I loved the roasted sweet potato …
