Enjoyed an awesome fruit smoothie that the owner was kind enough to custom make for me. She used their house lemonade as the base instead of milk with real frozen mixed berries. It was incredibly refreshing and hit the spot! Since I was on a healthy kick I got the Chicken Herb soup (also delicious). I love that it comes with oyster crackers. They have a variety of hot teas and coffee plus pastries so I look forward to coming back. Nice little spot to hang out and eat in if you have time.

This spot is just off the creek, with a decent parking lot and a drive through. It has a deeper warmer green than a Starbucks, and it draws a much warmer crowd too. We chatted often with the people in this shop! And we visited twice. How welcoming is that? The breakfast burrito is nothing flashy, but definitely warm gooey goodness. What sets it apart is the sauce: creamy, gently spiced, something like a seasoned mayo but not spicy. Coffee, of course, is the backbone here, and it's handled with a kind of calm precision. Our barista kindly alerted my partner and me that a warm blueberry latte would have oatmeal because of course the blueberry curdles regular milk. It was great attention to detail, and it's why we came back again and again during our week long trip. They had a special for every day! Shout out to the orange blossom latte which made me feel like a fairy amidst the city's tulips.

One of my longtime go-to brunch spots in Indy has been Milktooth, and I'm happy to report the…read morerecent transition to "Arleen's" hasn't changed the things I've always loved about the place. Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in awhile.

Our server was friendly and efficient in taking our orders, bringing drinks, and bringing food. The menu had typical pancakes, eggs, and sides but many had a southwestern theme including carne asada, chorizo, peppers, etc. I had the biscuits with turkey gravy. These were the BEST biscuits I've ever had at a restaurant. Oh my!!! So flaky and buttery and the gravy was rich and peppery. You couldn't tell that this wasn't sausage gravy. Everyone's food was delicious and beautifully presented. Prices were very reasonable as well. I would highly recommend that you try First Watch if you are in downtown Indy.

Overall, this isn't just your usual museum quality food, and I would definitely return again during a day downtown!

FYI to those who may have a physical handicap the prevents climbing steps, there are 2 sets of steps to enter the building, I didn't see any handicap accessible entry when I went there. The area to order coffee was really small and could comfortably fit about 5 people in the line inside the ordering station. There were places to stand in the foyer to wait as well, but in my opinion even though there is an open space in the foyer you could be potentially blocking someone's walking space since the ordering station is next to the entrance and the seating areas are in the entryway. I ordered their seasonal From the Past Latte w/ matcha and whole milk. They mentioned that the wait time to receive the drink was 10 minutes, which was understandable with how busy they were, but to my surprise I actually received my drink in half that time. The drink tasted great and if I was still in the area I'd go there again. I definitely noticed for such a small space, the staff were efficient and moved quickly to get everyone their correct orders. All of them were very cordial and professional as well, so that was appreciated.

I was only annoyed bc I was so hungry, other than that- I didn't care about the wait bc I had nowhere to be.
