Over the past nearly 20 years, Third Street Stuff has earned its place as a Lexington institution and sets the bar very high for other coffee shops in town. They've been brewing and serving locally roasted coffee since way before it was cool, and IIRC before Starbucks had even come to town. Anyway the owners and workers are complete badass baristas and chefs. Their Hame and Brie sandwich is to die for and their Pink in May drink blew my mind and my palate wide open. Who knew cold brew poured over raspberry Gelato could be so amazing? Writing this review has actually convinced me to go get another one right now, that's how good this place is! Plus I can't give them enough props for being staunch supporters of Lexington LGBTQIA+, immingrant, arts, music and writing communities. Third Street Stuff is a shining example of how valuable local businesses are to the identity and health of their local communities and we are so lucky to have them here in Lex!
Ordered ham and cheese on a bagel and a cappuccino. Got the bagel but not the cappuccino. Reordered the cappuccino and when I got it, it was lukewarm and there was another bagel sandwich with my name on it. I opened it up out of curiosity and there was no meat or cheese in it, only something like grease drippings! It's a curiously well-decorated coffee shop, but I was not blown away by the food or service.
I absolutely love this place great coffee great staff I love it
Super cool place. Good coffee and baked goods. Very comfortable.
Amazing decor and delicious coffee!! A celebration of culture and color. The loveliest place to start the day!!
Totally cool place!! Will go back again...and again!!!
Excellent little place! Very unique, friendly staff, and for a coffee shop the sandwiches are some of the best I've had!
Love this neat little spot. Great place for lunch or coffee. Their sandwiches are really tasty and a good price. I got the three cheese and tomato which was delcious, my husband got the cajun turkey which was also very good. We ate most of it before I thought to take a picture. They have gluten free options as well. The decor is fun, there are little gifts to buy throughout, and a bunch of boxed games to play.
Delightfully civil rights oriented cafe. A lovely, safe, welcoming space.
Great drinks and amazing atmosphere! Love the whole vibe of the place and the decor!!
This is my vibe! The staff was great! Great place to pick up a coffee, relax, browse, and buy some local artisan items.
Loved the positive vibes and support for multiple communities. Great art work all around. Had multiple bakery items and organic coffee
Hands down the best coffee shop in Lex, and the others don’t hold a candle to the ambience that Third Street Stuff offers. They’ve got plenty of spots to sit and chill at if you need to work on some projects or catch up on a good read. The vanilla mocha and vanilla hot chocolate are excellent, and if you pop in at 5-6PM you can snag some drinks for half off. Staff is very inviting and you can tell they got a passion and joy for their job. Grab you a cup ASAP and support a valued local business. Edit: Will be adding photos next time I visit
As a full time student and worker this place is absolutely amazing! The environment they have created has never failed at making me feel comfortable and provides the perfect spot to sit back and focus on my school work. Whether you have to be there super early or late, their hours make it easy to accommodate your schedule. It’s a plus that all their coffee and food options are delicious and they always provide quick and friendly service. Highly recommend!
Everything about this place is cool. Highly recommend to anyone
Great coffee shop. Super friendly staff and very LGBTQ friendly. I feel safe here
Unique spot with great food. Hot chocolates have lots of flavor options and the chocolate banana bread was perfect.
Really enjoy the atmosphere and the coffee. It isn't outrageously expensive and they have really yummy drinks with unique recipes. I always buy something besides coffee when I go, because they also have a great selection of greeting cards, gift type items, and local goods.
This is the place to go for food, drinks and inspiration. Great quotes, colorful art and unique gifts.
got the italian soda with strawberry. i know it’s basic but i don’t drink coffee. anyway the inside is adorable. i came here to study with a group of friends and ended up just chit chatting for two hours. i did have a lovely time though.
