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.

I have really debated how many stars they should get. On…read moreone hand, the food was really good! 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

First time in Indianapolis and was craving a Lox Bagel with Cream cheese…read more The store is a little off the beaten path. It a small corner bagel shop with no indoor seating, but 4 picnic style tables outside. The greeter was very nice and I ordered my Lox bagel and an Americano. The bagel wasn't toasted (maybe I should have asked for that) but had cucumber, dill, pickled red onions, capers, and cream cheese. Good, but toasted would have moved this rating to 5 stars. They should ask when you order, it would help. In any case, I recommend Sidedoor Bagel and would definitely try again when staying downtown. Cheers!

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.

The cases were filled with hundreds of freshly made bagels when I walked in. It was hard to decide, so I selected my standard Everything Bagel with egg and bacon. There is no dine-in, I took my bagel to eat in the car. My bagel, wrapped like a present, was warm and perfectly chewy. The service is friendly and fast. Bagels are reasonably priced. Tubs of flavored cream cheese are available in a case. They even sell the tee shirts. I found lots of parking in the shared lot. It would be nice to have a little table or bench outside to eat (hint, hint).

There were a lot of different style seating options, so we picked outside. Got the cold brew flight, which today was cereal flavors. I was skeptical because I don't love super sweet coffees, but they were all delicious. The shop did a nice job of balancing recognizable flavors with coffee and not being over powered on the sugar. I also got the Som In Law sandwich, which is egg, chorizo and some other delicious things on an Asiago bagel. It was warm, crispy on the outside, perfect chewy on the inside of the bagel. The bagel to topping ratio was solid. It was a great savory treat to go with my coffee. Overall an awesome stop for a lunch hang out. Will definitely be back.

There are seats available inside and outside if you want to stay around and drink your beverage or eat your food. Will I be back? Probably! Is it worth trying? Yes!

So, we had fresh bagels for dinner and they were delicious. The bagels were coated on both sides with a perfect blend of carmelized onion bits, aromatic garlic, sea salt, sesame and poppy seeds. I could taste that the seasoning were freshly prepared, as were the bagels. We purchased the bagels from the "Bearded Bagel" chef at the Westfield Farmers Market. He is a regular vendor and was friendly. Bagels range from $10-$12 /pack of six. I was excited to learn that the Bearded Bagels can also be found at their store on 96th Street. I'll be checking the store out soon!
