About Us

The idea for Leestown Coffee House was born out of years of commuting to and from Lexington and noticing a lack of convenient local options for coffee. 

 

Owners (design/quality engineer) Thomas Ward and (photographer) Bre Taulbee started renovations in March 2020, with plans of being open in May.  Covid-19 delayed those plans significantly but the Grand Opening finally took place on Oct 2-4, 2020.

Roberta

Roberta moved to the U.S. from Brazil and lived in San Diego, CA for nine years before moving to Kentucky. "My time there taught me a lot about the many differences society exudes. I’ve been in Kentucky for six years now and enjoy what this part of the country has to offer. I enjoy baking, photography, working out and spending time with my family and friends.
