A favorite is the blueberry buckwheat pancake, only to be had during Saturday and Sunday brunch, which also features Mimosas. Alfalfa (or "Alfalfa's" as we tend to call it) is Lexington's original hippie... more

Super yum. Have eaten here many times and love their Hoppin' John. They also have amazing desserts and live music. Neat laid-back hippie atmosphere, but serving white collar folks. more
