Nice bakery with light lunch menu. I stopped in just before closing, and folks were still very helpful and welcoming. Was hoping... for more actual pastries; but the muffins, cakes and croissants looked very nice. VERY good tea. My roasted tomato bisque was*fantastic*. Créme brulee was also good. Sandwich Menu is mostly melted cheesy stuff- tempting but heads up for dairyintolerance. I even felt like the bisque was lightly cheesy. Foodie gifts available, a small but interesting selection. Verycomfy benches, which got sanitized along with the table after each customer. Read more

If you are in the mood for some excellent housemade pastries, then this is the place for you. They also have a great brunch... selection. I love all the options and the open kitchen/bakery; you watch them decorating cakes and other pastries, and I alwaysfind their skills fascinating to watch. High recommend a stop here. Read more

Sweet secrets!!! This place is a Lexington gem, hidden treasure actually. Nestled in the downtown residential area. I would have... never known to look for this place. Glad I found it. I started out with the roast beef sandwich and for the price I thought, Oknot ordering anything else, but as you can see I left with a sampling of many things. Still for $9 I would have like a bag ofchips or drink with my sandwich. Pros: Cute, bookstore/bakery vibes. Think young business types or older matured yet culturedvibes. Warm sandwiches hot off the grill ???? caramelized onions and cheese!! Sweet assortment of baked goods and desserts ????.They use a quick torch for the Crème brûlée Cons: All of the desserts are fairly cold to soft freeze. I can smell thembaking sweets but all of mine were out of a fairly cold display case. (I understand the need to preserve goods but I want myCreme brûlée warm not just the top ????) Still ate the entire thing before pulling off. Price wise cake slices are average at$4 but sandwiches need chips or soda to justify the price. Conclusion: The atmosphere and quality justify a visit. Grab to-gobecause the sandwiches are great!!! Read more

Recently attended a small event upstairs and cannot rave enough about the food, hospitality and service. Lots of options with... amazing desserts and meals. Good value for the price. They are so much more thank pastries. Adorable and cozy inside. Topquality service and homelike atmosphere. Martine and Jim have created something very special and you can tell in the quality. Unique space upstairs for small gatherings and hospitality that is top notch. This is definitely a Lexington gem. Read more

I cannot say enough about how special this place is to me personally. I came to know about this place through a former student... of mine who had a cake from Martine's several years ago. I always remembered the cake(because it was so special!) and finally Ihad my very own special occasion for a very special friend who turned 70 to throw a surprise birthday party for her. I went toMartine's with such a short notice. I knew I couldn't have a cake completely customized, but the owner lady sat down with me andagreed to make a special cake(with what was readily available) for my dear friend. It was 2 tier cake decorated with sugar rosesand baby breath and many more flowers. My friends couldn't believe that they were fake! The cake was tasty and texture wasexactly what I would have liked to have. We also had brunch while picking up the cake and the chef generously offered acomplimentary small cup of tomato soup for my sweet husband who ordered their kale grilled cheese sandwich. I ordered a waffleBLT which tasted delicious and not heavy at all. We loved their new place(apparently they moved to this location recently) andatmosphere. We would love to return. Read more
