Welcome to Nourished Folks, a delightful cafe nestled within the vibrant Greyline Station in Lexington, KY. This charming eatery operates on a heartfelt mission to nourish its patrons with wholesome, carefully crafted food, originally inspired by the desire to support postpartum women with healthy meals. At Nourished Folks, each dish is a celebration of flavor, warmth, and community.

Cuisine Type: Nourished Folks specializes in hearty, comfort-inspired dishes that emphasize fresh, high-quality ingredients. Its menu is a beautiful amalgamation of flavors and health-conscious choices that cater to a variety of dietary preferences, including vegetarian and vegan options. Popular dishes you won't want to miss include the rich and savory Breakfast Hash— featuring succulent sausage, perfectly executed runny eggs, and a delightful medley of potatoes, herbs, and peppers—served with crusty sourdough bread; and the unforgettable Veggie Sammich on sourdough, bursting with fresh tastes that dance on the palate with every bite.

The dining atmosphere at Nourished Folks is warm and inviting, fostering a sense of community as customers savor their meals.

Desarae Anderson recounted how the nourishing meals helped her feel revitalized during a challenging time as a new foster mom. For those craving a taste of pure comfort, the exceptional chili on Saturdays is highly recommended, but hurry—you’ll want to arrive early to ensure you get a bowl before they sell out.

The commitment to quality is matched only by the passionate service delivered by the friendly staff, a recurrent theme in reviews. One customer, Jonathan Adams, remarked on the surprise delight of vegan cheese and left feeling empowered to embrace healthier eating. Each meal is truly made with love, and it shows in every flavorful bite.

We were excited to eat here after seeing the food on insta! Nourished Folks did not disappoint. The cashier/cook and waitress was very kind and told us about the menu and how the restaurant started by feeding post partum women with good food to help her recover after birth. I had the breakfast hash with sausage and a runny egg with 2 pieces sourdough bread. The hash was potatoes herbs peppers zucchini and mushrooms and onions with wonderful spices. Tasted amazing!!!! My daughter got the soup beans and cornbread with honey on it. Her soup beans were in their famous house made broth with fresh herbs and sour cream. I'm not a huge fan of beans but it was very tasty. We will definitely be back!!

If you need a home cooked meal with ALL the good stuff, this is the place to go. It's so fresh and flavorful. They also offer weekly meal subscriptions for one person or the whole family.

My only regret is that I'm just now trying this delish food! I've been meaning to for so long and finally tried the veggie sammich on sourdough and OH MY LANTA it is SO satisfying . Each bite is SO tasty and full of so many flavors. I was so pleased with the service I was given , I can see how passionate and enthusiastic the team members are! Each meal is made with love , and they make your order right in front of you and they are so happy while doing so! I can't wait to come back and try everything else! Eating healthy can be so fun and tasty , so grateful for this local eatery. I also love how they use local ingredients!!!

This is a must eat at place in the Greyline Station building. The smell when you first walk in will have your mouth watering. The chili was exceptional. On Saturday they have a soup and chili menu, but come early for lunch before they run out - AND THEY WILL!! Prices are respectable and portions are large. Great variety - the staff is super friendly. You will want to eat there again and again.

I am new to eating healthy. So it is a struggle to find new places that have quality food which meets my current dietary restrictions. I was pleased to shake the owners hand after eating a nourished, delish, and well balanced meal. Prior to this experience I was questionable about vegan cheese quality, however you can now catch me ordering everything vegan cheese. I recommend this place to anyone trying to eat healthy/better/natural. Thank you for a great food experience.

What a meal!!! I have been wanting to try Nourished Folks for such a long time now and it exceeded my expectations! We tried once before and it was sold out - not surprised! Always looked delicious, wholesome, and loving. And it was exactly that! My taste buds and my body felt so nourished! Magnificent food in such an uplifting environment. Do yourself a favor and make the try to time, no exaggeration. Not many places like Nourished Folks!

This was one of the best tasting meals we had while visiting. Everything fresh and made to order. Walk up ordering with food brought to the table. The breakfast sandwich and rice bowl were excellent. They add a 20% gratuity to the bill which...I tip wherever I go. I like to choose the amount myself and I usually tip in cash. So, that part of the visit was off putting. About 60.00, for two with a salad and a mimosa.

I'm a single foster mom and first had Nourished Folks when a friend had it delivered after I brought home a 10 day old from the hospital. I had either been eating fast food or forgetting to eat at all, so Riah's food truly felt like it was healing my body and soul as I ate it. The granola sat next to the baby's bottles and I would have a spoonful at every feeding. I began regularly ordering meals after that as a way to take care of myself during a nontraditional transition to motherhood. Riah is such a caring person and that love and kindness is transferred to her food. I could not recommend Nourished Folks more.
