Love this space - there's lots more parking, especially compared to the Broadway location, there's an art gallery next door, and more coffee if you need it!Food is always amazing - I always forget what kind of fun specials they have. And the mission this place supports means a lot.

This is an inspiring, supportive, delicious, friendly and stylish restaurant. We liked the idea of supporting those in recovery as it's a real need and a serious matter. I understand. Everyone we interacted with was on point, friendly and exceptional. We ordered a ton of food and enjoyed every single morsel. The rest we got to go for later!Stephanie took our order with a smile and made sure everything was just perfect. Seth suggested the cinnamon roll since it was my first time! We got cinnamon roll bread pudding which was dense and fantastic! We also got perfect over medium eggs, seasoned tater tots, biscuit and gravy, bacon, sausage, eggs Benedict, three kinds of homemade jam, extra seasoning and a major breath of fresh air! Everything was perfect!We don't know when we will pass through Lexington again but when we do, we will definitely stop here! Life can be very good with a little support.

This visit was a solid 4, but this is definitely a great restaurant. My experience at the other location on a prior trip was just such a stand out.We ordered a breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg and cheese on brioche), tater tots, a fried green tomato BLT and coffee. It was really good.You order at a counter and they bring out the food. They have a display case with their signature pastries, which has helpful to see and salivate a little.My daughter's breakfast sandwich was good. The egg was not quite fried, as ordered, and it dripped out and we had to do some clean up, but not a big deal. My sandwich was good and nice to try something different. It's just a tad heavy and rich. Tots were well seasoned and cooked nice and crisp. Restaurant was hopping. There is a parking lot, but it was full and I parked just a tad bit further away. Overall, really good. I prefer the other location and will keep trying menu items. DV8 will def be in our regular rotation during UK visits

I just LOVE eating at DV8 whenever I get the chance! I have never ate something I didn't love. All made fresh and hot and quick! They really nailed the poached eggs today! Always excellent service and so many choices! I love their holiday decorations too. The restaurant is always clean and I always enjoy my meal at DV8!

Awesome restaurant and second chance positive concept. There are two locations in Lexington. They have great food, delicious coffee, and are known for their bakery. Definitely worth seeking out!

Amazing breakfast! Everything was fresh. The toast was nice and the jam tastes amazing. My sister had the best burger in town. It smells like a fresh bakery when you walk in. I have an empty plate to prove it

"Life-changing food" is written on the shirts of all the staff here and it reflects the mission of the establishment to give a second chance for people are in substance use recovery. I do like the breakfast here. My favorite has to be the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a brioche bun. The sriracha ketchup is a nice twist on a classic breakfast item. The southern eggs Benedict is delicious as well. All beverages are all self-served. 3 kinds of coffee -- decaf, medium and dark roast and 2 types of syrup -- hazelnut and peppermint. DV8 (deviate) kitchen makes a quick stop for a lovely meal. 4.5 stars for the food. 5 stars for its mission.

Their chimichurri steak sandwich is life changing and to die for. I think it was a special. Love what their business practice is.

I had the chicken salad on grilled sourdough and it was delicious. The cinnamon roll with cream cheese icing was good. Staff would walk by and take any finished items as needed. Everyone was very friendly. I was there on a Saturday around lunch and it was busy.
