Recovery Café Lex

A community space for people in recovery

Welcome to Recovery Café Lexington, a community space for recovery of all kinds.

We're located at 1109 Versailles Road #200, Lexington, KY 40508. Café hours are currently Fridays 12pm-6pm and Saturdays 10am-5pm with Wednesdays and Thursdays coming soon. Call us at 859.523.0590 or email us here to get in touch.

What is Recovery Café?

We are a peer-led, peer-run community space for you to build recovery relationships and find supportive resources. RCLex isn't the type of café that sells sandwiches or lattés; we're a gathering space for folks on a recovery journey and our allies. We celebrate every type and pathway of recovery (substance use, mental health, housing insecurity, and more). No matter your needs, we have resources for you—whether you're in long-term recovery or contemplating making a change. Attend a support group, a sober social event, or see a Recovery Coach who can help you through your unique challenges. And while you're here, stay for a cup of coffee and a home-cooked meal. A new life is waiting for you!

OUR VISION IS...

To empower people in their own recovery with a welcoming community driven sanctuary to connect with one another, heal, feel accepted, loved and worthy of success in their life.
