Lussi Brown Coffee Bar is a product of the Lexington community!
Olivia Lussi and Sarah Brown were working together as baristas at Coffea (a now closed local coffee shop) around 2014, and the idea for their own shop started with post-shift drinks. Located right next door to a liquor store and adding a few shots of Baileys to their end-of-shift drinks, they realized these two worlds - really good coffee and spirits - belonged together. They pitched the concept to some friends & regulars and the support was overwhelming. That local momentum fueled a successful Kickstarter campaign and laid the foundation to build the space they envisioned for Downtown Lexington.

​

Opening in June 2017, growing the business from nothing, navigating the challenges of staying open through the pandemic - it’s all placed Lussi Brown in a unique position to become a cornerstone of the downtown scene. All these factors have allowed LBCB to really step up and show the Lexington coffee community what a modern, hybrid concept could be.
 

At Lussi Brown, the philosophy is simple: 'Come in, buy a drink, be kind, and enjoy the moment.' It's a unique space where a CEO and a drag queen can sit at the same bar and both feel entirely at home. That’s the true beauty of the local Community. For LBCB, hospitality isn’t just about a friendly greeting; it’s about providing a meticulously crafted product in a space that feels both cozy and inclusive. Lussi Brown offers a judgment-free atmosphere where everyone, from artists to attorneys, can find a sense of belonging and sip one of the damn finest cups of coffee you’ll ever have!
