Tired of expensive coffee? Lexington Coffee (and Tea) Week has specials for $3
It’s winter, it’s dreary, so what could perk you up? Coffee!
Or maybe hot tea, if you’re not a coffee drinker.
Lexington Coffee (and Tea) Week will debut Feb. 17-23. And it has plenty of drinks that will have you curling up with a warm mug of something special.
More than a dozen locations are participating around town, all with special coffee drinks (and some with special teas as well) for $3 each.
So Lexington ought to be alert and well-caffeinated for the rest of the month.
