"There's nothing like a hot blueberry scone or almond croissant and a steamy cup of their wonderful coffee... watching the world go by sitting at one of their outside tables on Main Street."

“Pronto is my go-to coffee shop! The coffee is wonderful as are all the sandwiches, baked goods, and gelato. The staff is personable as well as knowledgeable--they go out of their way to help make you feel at home. The new Pronto Via food camper is ADORABLE! Recently the owners donated gelato to an event in Lexington—they are very community and civic-minded. I highly recommend visiting Pronto and can't wait for an occasion to hire the gelato camper!”

“Can’t wait to go back! Popped in the other day for some gelato (it was 90 degrees out) and was blown away! #1, it was gorgeous inside. Modern, clean, inviting. #2, the gelato was delicious! #3, I now know that they are open daily, serve lots of yummy sounding sandwiches, and even serve wine. I can't wait to go back this summer for a full meal. Great find!”
—Pronto Customers
"Wish we would have had time to try the gelato, but we grabbed some ready-made sandwiches to take with us on a hike. Very imaginative combinations. The sandwiches were so delicious we repeated the next day. Well worth a stop for a quick lunch or dinner."
—Pronto Customers
"I live here during finals week. The gelato is to-die-for, especially the toasted marshmallow. The baristas are way more friendly than at any of the other coffee shops. I love their flavored iced lattes and cappuccinos. They also have really good sandwiches."
—Pronto Customers
Our vintage camper turned catering service stylishly serves all the gelato, pies, and pastries you & your guests could ever want.
