North Lime Coffee & Donuts - Clays Mill

I am a bit disappointed by my experience today.

I’ve never had refrigerated Donuts from a donut shop. I ordered 2 cinnamonkeys and 2 chocolate glaze (because for some reason they were sold out of glazed by noon) for $6, a good bargain for local fresh made donuts. I bet these tasted great when fresh but they were served cold which made them less enjoyable. Might give their original location a shot.

Doughnuts at this location and downtown are my favourite in the area and they serve a really interesting mix of different drinks. The coffee was fantastic up until very recently, however, I agree with another reviewer that the new coffee they are using for the espresso is nowhere near as good. Some people may like it but it's definitely not for me!

Alright, I'm leaving this because I think North Lime often gets a bad rap on their Donuts. While they are a thicker consistency than most, they are at least creative. So often they produce new taste and sometimes themed donuts. That's much cooler than most donut shops who push out the same product every day. Also, their coffee is better than any of the other shops around and the wait staff is absolutely fantastic.

Love the Keeneland Breeze donuts and the bourbon crème stuffed.

This is my favorite spot to grab coffee in Lexington. The donuts are tasty as well. I had an unfortunate experience there, the last 2 times they have sent out customers through email- and I have yet to be able to use them there. The last coupon I received was for 25% off I was so excited to purchase some coffee, Nate's Coffee is the best, went to buy the coffee in the bags, get to the counter and was told that the coffee bags were not eligible. I still bought the coffee. In the future if sending out coupons be sure to put on the coupon what is excluded or honor the coupon because of the internal mistake. I will continue to enjoy both the coffee and donuts just some food for thought.

Love the donuts and coffee, but there was one employee that was very rude. She had glasses and was rather older then everyone else. She was very rude to other employees in front of customers. As a customer I should not be witnessing a girl cry and being mistreated. Yes She was hard working, but didn’t have very good social skills or teamwork. I didn’t feel comfortable bringing my kids with all of her yelling. They were frightened. Other than that, great place!

I have no clue what the recent reviews are talking about. They must be Krispy Kreme stans. These donuts are absolutely delicious, and even coming in 10 minutes before close the staff was extremely friendly, and informative about their donuts to a first timer here at this establishment. The donuts were still superb hours after they were made. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

We live in the neighborhood and come here pretty often! The coffee is really good and fairly priced and the donuts are always fun. I like that they have a lot of seating, even though it's a small space. Highly recommend.

I have had their donuts many times before, but this was the first time I have been there in person. I know nothing about coffee and rarely drink it, but was in the mood to try theirs today. The two girls working were very friendly and helpful and explained the difference between the types of coffee they had available today. I ordered one of the hot coffees. The previous customer (who had already left) ordered a cold brew iced coffee and the girls realized that they accidentally made an extra one so instead of throwing it away they let me try it. I got to experience a hot coffee and a cold brew iced coffee back to back which was a nice learning experience for a coffee novice, and both were very good. The hot coffee (I forget which bean it was) had mild fruity flavor notes and natural sweetness. The iced one had a pleasant nutmeg-like flavor to it.

I had a plain glazed donut which was also very good. It is a very dense donut (the donut equivalent of al dente pasta), and the browned outer edge adds a nice depth to the flavor and pairs well with coffee. There's just enough glaze to add sweetness without being overpowering.

Overrated. Donuts are often stale. Drinks take forever, as they seem to only have one employee working them. They only have niche flavors. The classics got that way for a reason! They just jam all your donuts in a bag, it's very messy since they don't wrap them individually.
