As part of Small Business Week, we’re highlighting Lexington small businesses (and their deals) — and first up is one of our favorite places to get caffeinated.

25+. That’s how many drinks Leestown Coffee House has on its menu — from coffeehouse favorites to non-traditional lattes, like the “upside down” latte, this Leestown neighborhood spot is ready to bean you up, Scotty.

“Coffee + creativity are our passion,” said General Manager Alison Rickert. “From an early morning pick-me-up to a late afternoon latte, and everything in between.”

Did we mention they’re also slinging bakery goods like gluten-free pop tarts and other pastries from Frank’s Donuts, Southland Bagel + La Petite Delicat.

While the baristas at Leestown Coffee House recommend trying a latte with one of their house-made syrups or flavor combinations, here are our top four picks from Leestown Coffee House. You can thank us later.

  • Triple Americano for your study-buddy who’s burning the midnight oil during finals
  • Honey lavender latte for your impossible-to-please mother who’s currently obsessed with the spring blooms in her garden
  • 16-oz. spiced coconut fizzy — aka an Italian soda — for your friend who’s trying to kick her caffeine habit
  • Pistachio cream matcha for that co-worker who’s drank them daily since his trip to Japan six years ago — yet still mispronounces matcha every time he orders. Pro tip: It’s pronounced maa-chuh.
