Reviews For Lussi Brown Coffee Bar

Best coffee spot downtown Lexington and beyond. First of all, they actually serve their coffee in mugs. Maybe I'm crazy but for me it's a whole different experience when drinking an incredible latte from a mug Second, I have to say their specialty lattes are some of the most unique and delicious lattes. Third, they are open till 10:30pm. As someone who works late, I need caffeine late at night. Lussi's is warm and welcoming no matter what time of the day or night. Buddy who works the night shift is amazing and always greets you with a warm smile. Fourth, where else can you get alcoholic coffee beveragea, now, I'm not a major drinker but combining great coffee with alcohol has to be genius! Fifth, the backroom is so comfortable and always lively with patrons. Comfy seating, free wifi, and awesome atmosphere, what more can anyone ask for? Except another drink!

This place is really cute! Was able to get a decaf cappuccino and an espresso martini along with a Spaulding donut. The staff were very sweet and friendly, the atmosphere was also great it’s calming and the tunes fit nicely. There’s not a whole lot of seating inside but we had a table and stayed for a while it was so calming. Definitely recommend this lgbtq friendly establishment!

I love the vibe of this cozy coffee bar! It was a gem in Lexington for sure! I enjoyed the atmosphere and the fresh lavender syrup! I'm so excited to come back and visit again. This is a perfect spot if you're looking for a little basic coffee to enjoy your afternoon or if you're looking to grab an espresso martini and hang out with friends

I meant to write a review for this coffee shop, but here it goes. This shop is located in a corner in downtown Lexington. If you don't know what you're looking for, you might have easily missed this shop as it is inconspicuous. Once you enter the shop, do not let it fool you. This coffee shop/bar serves a fantastic cocktail selection and strong-tasting coffees. There is more setting in the back of the shop, where you must be at least 21 to go in after 12 p.m. I sat in the back after ordering my coffee and then cocktail to do some school work and enjoy the lounge. It is quiet and cozy enough to do your job or relax with a friend or two to chat. I would say this place is one of the most unique places I've been to here in Lexington, and I highly recommend it to those coffeeholic who also love their cocktail drinks.

Stopped by on Sunday, 11/3/24, at 10:40 am. It took 20 minutes to order and get our coffee. I got the Mayan Mocha and it was good! Love that this coffee shop is LGBTQ-owned! Cool art!

This place has some amazing drinks. I ordered the old fashioned (made with cold brew) and it was one of my favorite cocktails I have ever had. The balance of the coffee and whiskey was perfect and I can’t wait to try other drinks on the menu! Staff was super friendly and helpful and the outdoor seating was perfect for a chill afternoon.

So glad we walked to this spot for an evening treat. I felt bad for going in 15 minutes before closing but both employees were so nice and welcoming. I really loved the atmosphere and my drink was so good.
