    Waffles with bacon

    We came for the Covered Bridge Festival during breakfast. The food was good. It was pretty hot inside.

    First time in here, cute little whole in the wall with board games for you to stay entertained. We stopped in for lunch on Friday. The man(maybe Aaron?) was super friendly. We were an hour too early to get pizza which was fine because it was so hot out! My husband got the meatball sandwich and I'm usually not a fan of meatballs but it looked delicious. He said it was really good. I got the turkey sub and it was ok. I assumed it was a cold sandwich but it came out hot. They let you sub potato salad for soup thankfully because it was too hot for that. I've heard breakfast is really good here, may have to give it a try.

    Chicken tenders and fries
    Abigail W.

    The owner, or at least the enthusiastic man that sits at the register, was extremely nice. I cannot say a single bad thing about the service. Everything was clean and if someone left a dirty table, it was immediately cleaned up and wiped down. The food; however, was not great. We had the chicken salad on a bagel and chicken tenders. It's giving GFS for sure, nothing felt homemade or well prepared. The bagel was pretty good but I wish it hadn't been heated for the chicken salad. And the chicken salad was so bad I couldn't eat the sandwich. I've heard the pizza and the breakfast are the way to go. Maybe we just didn't order the right things - we may try again.

    What a delightful restaurant! The RES colleagues get together monthly for wonderful food!

    An everything bagel grilled cheese.
    Tomas C.

    Just a great little breakfast /lunch grill. A menu populated with very good, diner type entrees. I had a really good "everything bagel grilled cheese." Surprisingly good actually. On the other hand, the sides could use some work. Canned pineapple (:/). With the sandwich. I don't know what else tO say: Bah. And a smAll bowl of chili. Watery, but not inedible. So, now that i sound completely snobby.... let me say, this was a really pleasant lunch...I'll come back and try more of the menu. A very good discovery on the first day of Fall.

    This place is a gem in the heart of Rockville, Indiana on the square. Located in the former Jailhouse Cafe, Aaron and his wife have transformed it into a cute cafe that serves breakfast and lunch. Their menu is pretty big for a small cafe and oh so delicious. You know you're in a small town when the owner takes your order, serves it, and cleans up the table - all with the most polite service and hospitality true to the Hoosier Hospitality that Rockville serves up. I went with a cup of their chicken noodle soup (SO GOOD!), turkey sandwich on a bagel and served with homemade chips and grapes. Satisfied and full is an understatement. The food was fresh, the service unmatched, and atmosphere cute as can be. I hope they're around for years to come!

    Nice view from the patio.

    Cute place, great owner staff. Pizza we had was made on homemade dough. Beautiful day in May on their comfortable sunny patio. We had a great lunch, tasty iced tea, and made a couple of friends. Highly recommended.

    Chicago style pizza! Awesome and so filling.

    Chicago style pizza! Awesome and so filling. I had the sausage biscuits & gravy this rainy, drizzly morning. It was wonderful comfort food. These guys are great from the back to the front. Always support your local gems!!

    Ok. Seen this place on Facebook it looked great pizza was thick looked like Chicago style pizza about 2 inch thick.So I ordered the one with everything on it sausage pepperoni onion green pepper mushrooms. Shows up to the table looks ok only took about 30 min to bake which didn't make much sense it should take about 45 min to a hour to bake. Started getting a slice and it's only about 3/4 in thick to me that not even a deep dish at Pizza Hut lol. It got worse from their. No meat at all I ate a slice just had veggies my wife said theirs no meat in this it took 2 slices to find one pepperoni. Home made dough was so nasty I couldn't even eat the crust. I had high hopes for this place it's just not a pizza place.

    All they would make was a sandwich. Like a meatball or something. It's been a while, and we haven't been back since.

Somebody obviously likes it. Staff are nice enough, no issues otherwise, just weird coffee flavors. Never had anything else, so the other stuff may be good. Thats why I rated it 3 stars.

    After a few hours of working hard in Lafayette to get that bread, I needed to find a place that…read morewould sell me some bread with some stuff in between it. The Eleventh House seemed like the perfect stop for elevenses, because they are a coffee shop that also sells sandwiches (bagel sandwiches). The food menu consists of basically just bagels and bagel sandwiches, but that's fine, because The Eleventh House makes a great bagel sandwich. They also offer random little nibbly things, like hard-boiled eggs with dijon mustard, kimchi, citrus slices and "half of an avocado with a crazy amount of Old Bay," which I'm going to have to try to make at home sometime. Some of their sandwiches have exciting things in them, like pickled daikon, burnt pimento cheese (why does that sound so appealing?) and onion jam. I opted to keep my lunch rooted in the quotidian, so I got a Ranch BLT (bacon, iceberg lettuce, tomato, avocado, ranch seasoning, Kewpie mayonnaise) and the Turkey & Havarti, which is mostly just that. Maybe my choices were a little basic, but sometimes the classics are where it's at. These sandwiches were very tasty! The coffee shop / restaurant feels very open, with natural light coming through a skylight window and plants everywhere. It's a nice place to sit and chill for a while. When you dine in, they give you a number on a tarot card to place at your table. My tarot card was the Three of Wands, which I've learned represents the threshold of adventure, a call to leave your comfort zone to seek enlightenment in the world. (And, perhaps, an invitation to live deliciously?) How appropriate.

My daughter and I both got the Chicken Gyro (that's not its full name, but that's what I remember). That was our plan B bc they were out of corned beef. It was awesome and so huge that we had to use a fork and knife to eat it. The Parmesan fries with curry was also very good. We got there during an off time. There were 6 ppl dining when we came in. It took probably 10-15 minutes before we got to order. We were there for 30 minutes before we got our drinks. I had to go out to the car to get the drinks we had in there bc we got thirsty. I also don't think they change table cloths between customers. Once the other people left, tables were cleared but crumbs remained. When I came back from the car, there was an insect crawling on our table. I won't say the R word, but I'm pretty sure it was a baby R. I pointed it out & worker squished it in her fingers and tried to save face by saying it was a spider (definitely wasn't a spider) or an aphid (most definitely not an aphid). I hate giving bad reviews, especially to small businesses, and they probably don't deserve the 3 stars, but the food was delicious when we finally got it ... just tried not thinking about the critter. Not having a restroom wasn't great either. We do prefer to wash our hands before we eat, as one should. We went out to our car to use our hand sanitizer. After other customers left, I also started to play my own music at the table. They obviously had kids in the back and had a children's show fairly loud, which was just kind of annoying. That may be nitpicking, but dining in was just not a good experience all around... besides the food. Sorry

    Solid bagel spot. If you're looking for NYC-style bagels, these won't hit the same, but they are…read moregood, freshly made bagels. Bloomington Bagel vs Gables is kind of a hot local debate, but I don't really have a preference and I like both of them for different reasons. I think the quality of the bagels here is a little better (this is the only place where they are made fresh) and there's more customization options for sandwiches, but the Gables bagels are a little bigger and the sandwich style is closer to NY/NJ delis. Lots of options to build you own sandwich here with many bagel and schmear flavours and different veggies. Because the style of bagel is thick/fluffy and not very wide around, sometimes the fillings do not want to stay in the sandwich. They have some delicious options though. I especially love the sushi-inspired Godzilla sandwich made with smoked salmon, miso schmear, and nori. The veggies are always fresh and generously piled on. As for non-bagel offerings, they have some other baked goods, like muffins and cookies. The blueberry muffin I tried was great. The cookies are usually good but kind of inconsistent. They're usually very soft but occasionally you will get a suboptimal crumbly one. The cookies are very sugary and huge. I have been known to eat an entire cookie at once but to be honest I usually regret it, so I recommend splitting one in half to share or save for later. They have coffee and espresso drinks, tea, and smoothies. Unfortunately no decaf coffee or espresso. I keep getting tea to go with my cookie or bagel but the selection is all very cheap brands. I like the chai though. Service is very good. They're on it so you don't have to wait too long even when it gets busy. Sometimes the place is packed and sometimes unexpectedly empty, and I can't figure out if there's any pattern to it.
