Riverside Nutrition is a cozy café tucked into Lexington’s Franklin Avenue, serving up a blend of coffee and uniquely crafted teas that locals lean on to kickstart their day or power through the afternoon. The space has a welcoming, down-to-earth vibe that fits smoothly into the town’s rhythm, making it a favorite spot for those who want a healthier alternative to typical café fare without sacrificing flavor.

The menu strikes an interesting balance — alongside classic coffee options like a Caramel Macchiato or Mocha, the real draw here is the extensive tea selection. Flavors such as Fruit Roll Up, Rainbow Candy, and Strawberry Lemonade suggest a playful, almost nostalgic twist, while choices like Chai and Pomegranate offer a more traditional profile. This mix tends to attract folks who appreciate inventive drinks with a touch of familiarity, especially people looking for energizing, refreshing options that don’t weigh you down.

Riverside Nutrition shines during morning hours when locals appear for their daily ritual of energizing teas or a peanut butter banana treat that’s often mentioned for being a satisfying, health-conscious snack. The staff’s knowledge about their multifaceted menu adds to the ease with which visitors can find something tailored to their tastes, whether it's a shake or one of the tea flavors many have come to favor.

The interior carries a quaint charm with subtle pops of color, creating a relaxed environment without feeling overly styled or commercialized. It’s the kind of place where you can comfortably settle in for a moment, chat with the staff, or grab a quick drink on the go. You’ll often find regulars dropping in — a sign of how this café fits smoothly into the Lexington community's everyday life.

For visitors, the best time to stop by is mid-morning to early afternoon when the buzz is light but steady, making it easy to enjoy the vibe without a long wait. Whether you're after a healthy treat, a creatively flavored tea, or simply a friendly place to pause, Riverside Nutrition offers a locally grounded experience that prioritizes wellness without sacrificing taste or personality.

I’ll make the extra drive to come here, the nutrition place in my town won’t make the teas this location will.. and this location makes them a lot better!

I have their protein shakes and they are tasty. No chalky after taste at all.

Kam and Kenzie are top-notch in customer service and friendliness. So laid back and accommodating to whatever requests you make for your drinks. I’m absolutely thrilled to have a reputable nutrition place in Lexington with such amazing nutrition coaches and tea-tenders! I can’t say enough good stuff about this place. I even did one of their monthly challenges and I lost 10lbs and SEVEN INCHES around my waist by following their extremely simple meal plans and using the shakes. I tried for YEARS to break my weight of 200 because I would always plateau right around there, even when I’d go to the gym every day, which left me feeling extremely discouraged, so I’d stop. I could never ever get my nutrition correct and these girls not only met my own personal needs, but I lost so much weight and made a noticeable difference in my appearance in only 28 days. This has quite literally been life-changing for me and it’s all thanks to Kenzie and Kam providing the nutrition and fitness recommendations I needed.
