Magic Beans make good coffee. However, this location is their roastery, NOT a coffee shop. It is located inside the Bread Box building and is not open to the public. Coffee beans can sometimes be purchased at the bar at West 6th Brewing.

You might say I'm a bit bias because my son roasts the coffee for Magic Beans. Thats fine. I will tell you that this journey Daniel has been on he has not been alone. I am just as much a coffee connoisseur as he. I can safely say that this is some of the best coffee I have every had. I'm more about flavor than caffeine so I tend to prefer the darker roast. I highly recommend trying Magic Beans coffee. You will not be disappointed.

Some of the best coffee I have ever had. The Sumatra Mandheling is incredibly smooth and balanced, yet dark and rich. Can't wait to try the others. Love how I can pick it up at the store and it's never roasted more than three weeks out!

I was only in town for a day and had no idea what to do. I stumbled into this wonderful place and my problems are suddenly no more! The friendly staff directed me to several great places to eat and drink, and they were entertaining while at it. The coffee was good too.

Discovered the folks at MagicBean Coffee at the Lexington, KY farmers market, where they were creating delicious pourovers from two different fairtrade, organic coffees. They don't have a retail location/coffee shop, so the farm market is the best location to give them a try, and pick up a pound or two of their carefully roasted beans. Whether sourced from distributors dealing in Fair Trade Organic beans or from their direct purchase relationships, it's clear that Skylar and team care about the beans, the growers and giving you the best cuppa they can! Oh, and the coffee is great with the locally baked cinnamon rolls also available at the farm market on Saturday mornings.

Thoughtfully selected, intelligently roasted, Magic Beans is the best! Do yourself a favor - I have it shipped across the country, and you could too.

Due to life complications we were forced to survive on some other coffee ... We only barely survived. We'll be hunting down Magic Beans tomorrow morning. It's the only thing on our agenda.

Not JUST the best coffee in Lexington, but better to such an extent that their competitors should all feel a little bit ashamed.

The best coffee available in Lexington. Probably the best coffee available in Kentucky. Possibly the best coffee available.

I have Magic Beans shipped to me regularly in Alexandria, VA. I used to get beans from a couple of places in my area that also sell fresh-roasted, single-origin beans - and which I thought were pretty great - until I tried Magic Beans. Now I don't want to drink any other coffee ever. Magic Beans isn't just better than cheap diner coffee and corporate mega-chain coffee. Its better than anything you've ever had anywhere. Its worth mail-ordering, and actually even with shipping its cheaper than some places I've bought from in person. I promise you, no matter how great you think your current favorite coffee place is, until you've had Magic Beans, you don't even really know what coffee is supposed to taste like. And yes, I'm also talking to those of you who already buy fancy, single-origin, coffee from hipster places that only do pour-overs, etc. Dump out the coffee you're drinking right now and go order some Magic Beans.
Well, I don't want to ding the place, but my husband and I went to UK today and I looked for this place because of all the good reviews. However, we could not find it. Now that I'm back home, I'm looking up their website and see they are available at many places, one of which is West Sixth Brewing. Duh! We were right there! If I'm ever in the area, I'll try again, but hopefully, this will prevent others from making the same mistake we did.

Great coffee. Went above and beyond to provide me with my order and it was worth every penny. Any time I am looking to buy some whole beans I am sure I will be coming back to them.

I don't often buy gourmet coffee, but every once in a while I like to spend a little more to get some really good stuff. The beans I recently bought from Magic Beans Coffee Roasters arrived at my Cleveland home the day after they were roasted, and the coffee made from these beans is the best coffee I've ever had, bar none. I've been brewing it at work and all my colleagues are impressed with the rich, smooth flavor. I will definitely be buying another batch soon.

Best cup of coffee I've ever had, and I made it on a crappy home drip machine. Nice work and well worth the few extra cents a cup.

This is the best coffee I've ever had. I live in the Pacific Northwest, where we have a lot of coffee options, but this lil roaster in Kentucky beats all of my locals. Reasonably priced for high-quality, single origin, freshly roasted beans, and they ship VERY fast and VERY FRESH all over the country.
