Drinklings Coffee House

My first time visiting Drinklings and I have to say I was very impressed! Love the vibe and the drinks. They have plenty of seating and a spacious back patio. This is a gem in downtown Wilmore.

We stopped by Friday for some coffee and donuts. Their coffee is great! Some of the best we've had. Donuts were from north lime donuts. A great little place to spend some time with friends. We will definitely be back. Thanks

Drinklings cawfee (I’m from Jersey) is the absolute best. Made with care and pride. The Colombian makes THE best cold brew. I’ve tried many others and none get even close. Highly, Highly recommended.

I'm not sure why Google showed two listings for this place, but I think my other review should have been here. I just copied this from my other review. Sorry for the duplication:

I'm relatively new to the South Lexington area and am searching out all the coffee places. I consider myself a true seasoned coffee aficionado, having lived in Seattle [the birthplace of modern coffee in the US], participating as an SCAA cupping judge and even importing specialty coffee from all over the world for my own pleasure. Yes, I'm an unapologetic coffee nerd, which unfortunately makes me hard to please sometimes.

I'd heard there were a couple of coffee shops in Wilmore just a few miles away, so I had to GPS it just to see what a teeny town coffee shop could serve up. Aha! It's a college town, so my chances have improved. I was going to try one other place, but drove by this Drinklings place and it smelled amazing. THEY WERE ROASTING - in Wilmore? Who knew? Seriously, I almost cried with happiness. Unfortunately, this is the middle of COVID-19 season, so I've only been able to order drinks and leave. But I've sampled a few now and this is what I've found.

Coffee: An excellent roast! 5-stars all the way. Fresh stuff right out of their own roaster, and they keep it fresh in the pot. I will have this any time of day or night with no apologies. The roastmaster here knows how to roast his beans. Smooth, perfect acidity, and a flavor that matches the aroma. No burn or off taste, and a quality bean to start with. I took a couple of bags home and was very pleased.

Tea: Some very nice varieties. I normally don't drink a lot of tea, but I've got a couple favorites here already, one of which is a white coconut. To die for, even the smell. I also got a very nice English Breakfast, all very nicely packaged so it will keep.

Chai: I could use a couple of !! marks here to describe it and it would say it all. The chai is outstanding, and a wonderful blend that you'd find in India. Many places use a sweet chai flavor or extract, but this is the real chai. WOW!

Service: Very good, nice people, and they enjoy what they do. They were handling all the COVID stuff so well and taking all the precautions I would expect.

I'll keep coming back, and even out of my way for this place. I still haven't asked what a Drinkling is yet, though it's kind of cute.

Absolutely amazing place. The coffee is some of the best I have had, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is perfect for studying or just having coffee with a friend. Would highly recommend.

They provide really high quality toilet paper in the restroom, double ply quilted and whatnot.

Also, the coffee and espresso is delicious.

Great coffee! Service is spectacular and everyone is always so kind and welcoming. Some of the best coffee I’ve had. Really cute place too.

Super nice new location! Plenty of little nooks and tables to study or meet at. Great coffee and menu items too.

Amazing atmosphere, drinks, and events! Their support of local business and the people of Wilmore makes it all the better too! Would definitely recommend to all!

Great coffee in a sweet atmosphere! Awesome addition to Wilmore downtown and totally worth the drive from Lex.
