Good bulk food store with some fantastic specialty products in the spice section and elsewhere. The bulk food section could use gluten free flour, peanut butter protein, and whey protein. The granola is a little overpriced too ( 7 bucks a pound on average). But they are the only option for bulk food in Lex so take what you can get. Bulk coffee beans are in dirty dispensers which had a heavy buildup of rancid oil coating the sides. For light roast coffee, you don't want to see oily beans. So for 16 bucks a pound on average you are getting an inferior coffee. All of the granola currently on hand is gluten free but not necessarily celiac friendly and is around 5 bucks a pound. Charging 16 dollars a pound for gluten free granola is a ripoff given the supply of gluten free foods. A WinCo food store in Lexington would provide healthy competition for this establishment's bulk section.

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.

Went here and got some seasonal fall items. They include - Cookie Butter Frappe (gluten free) - Reece Pieces Pop tart (gluten free) Cookie butter frappe was pretty good, it doesn't really remind me of Cookie butter all too much, but by no means was it bad. The Reece Pieces Poptart was very good. The crust on the pop tart was a bit dry and crumbly, but when you get a bit with the filling it tastes pretty good. The Reece pieces also add a nice subtle crunch in the mix. Overall my experiences at this location have been fantastic. Service is incredible, the atmosphere is really chill and adds positively to the dining experience. And lastly of course, the food and drinks are noteworthy and are 100% better than any Starbucks coffee or snack. Eat here now. Now. Like right now

I LOVE this place. As a person with celiac, it’s quickly become a part of my weekly routine to drive up from Richmond for gluten-free donuts every Friday or Saturday when they’re available. The coffee and staff are both wonderful too! Can’t wait for the next trip!

Delicious coffee in a super cool and unique environment. As a gluten free individual, I appreciated that they offered GF cookies and muffins. Lots of art all around and fun past time such as games, puzzles, yarn, magnetic poetry, and coloring books. This place is one of a kind. Highly recommend!

I took my daughters out to Parlor as a treat, we were first timers here. There is meter parking on the side of the building and a small strip of free parking in the back, parking was pretty good for the area. The 4 of us each got a donut, and the 4 of us have different reviews. Service was phenomenal, the staff was so friendly and patient. As for the food, we got the vegan option of their donuts and they come gluten free which was nice because i needed mine to be both gluten free and vegan. I personally wasnt a fan, but understand i am a plain jane kinda gal, and these are fancy gourmet donuts. It was great for what its supposed to be, but not for me preference wise. My daughter however LOVED it. Shes more of a classy gal, she loves fancy places and macarons lol so this was right up her alley. They are on the more expensive side, but what isn't these days? Also, again, i would consider these gourmet donuts. Think along the realm of crumble cookie in donut form with a more hipster vide to it. Give them a try.

Every now and then you find a unicorn like the Scouted Cafe - the perfect combination of everything you're looking for: Coffee, Wine, Smoothies, Delicious Bakery Items (some gluten free!!!), Gracious Service, and Cozy Atmosphere. Jen and the staff were so kind to us after a difficult day of bereavement. We will be back <3

Panera makes a GREAT decaf almond milk mocha! The Palomar location in Lexington is my favorite, I love the quick ordering of lunch from the kiosks. They have some scrumptious gluten-free soups, and I can get chips or fruit instead of the bread, so I can actually eat out safely. I have a number of serious food allergies, and they're very conscious of making things correctly. It's a nice atmosphere, everyone works hard and maintains a good attitude. Highly recommend.

I am grateful this vegan food truck is in the neighborhood - Moody Mike's will be your new favorite! I asked how to make items gluten free, and so I got my sub on fries with sauce (minus the bread)! I recommend anything on menu, so yummy and looks good! I really like the B. BALLS, and this is Galley Boy on Cajun fries, it comes with vegan tarter sauce (DELICIOUS). Crispy chicken sandwich in the background is a hit with non-vegan friends! Great service!
