I wanted to like this place more- the food was good, but everything else made it feel not worth it…read more Went to brunch with some friends on Saturday morning and although the crowd suggested a long wait, they said it would only be 15 minutes. Great! And they stuck to that- we were seated on time, but then the issues started. We were sat at the same time as another table of 4 next to us. We got our menus and put our drinks in... and then waited, and waited... I got a hot chocolate that wasn't even hot when I sipped it, and tasted pretty bland. My friends got coffees that they liked, but our waitress seemed so annoyed to be working there! She was very curt and I understand if you're busy, but maybe try for some customer service... We ordered our food (as did the table next to us) and waited soooo long, like 30+ minutes, and we were considering flagging down the wait staff to ask about it, but our waitress never seemed to even be around to ask questions... anyway, we finally got the food, and it was tasty, but I just don't think I would bother with this place again.

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.

Stopped in here on my way to the state fair and decided to utilize the drive thru. It's always…read moreconvenient when you don't have time to park and go in, however there were several cars in front of me and it was very, very slow. I think I waited at least 15 minutes before it was my turn to order. Once I got up to the pick up window, things went faster but I think I should have just gone in and it would have actually been faster than the drive thru. The coffee was ok. I ordered a seasonal bonfire cold brew and it was way too sweet for my liking. I also didn't really care for the taste of the cold brew unfortunately. And since the menu didn't have descriptions of what was in things, I basically guessed this would taste like a s'more and was correct. It was just too much for me and I only ended up drinking half of it.

However, I was disappointed that a portion of the automatically added 20% gratuity will be going to Jess W. I expected better service, especially with gratuity already included. When I asked if I could purchase a side of hash browns, I was willing to pay the additional charge. Instead, I was told there "was only enough for the hash browns on the burgers." The response felt dismissive, and there was no effort to see if another option was available or to provide a more customer-focused explanation. I understand that menu items may have limitations, but good service is about how those situations are handled. Unfortunately, the level of service I received today did not meet my expectations. I hope this feedback is shared so future guests have a better experience. Food was excellent, but go someplace else if you are looking for better service.

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.

First time at First Watch and I'm now wishing I lived in Indy. Oh my goodness!!!…read more We brought a large group in for breakfast and were seated within five minutes. 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.

Beautiful cafe located at the entrance of the Omni hotel in downtown Indy…read more A coworker and I were looking for a cool spot to grab lunch and get a little work done and this spot was recommended. We found street parking outside and once inside, I couldn't believe how pretty it was. I heard that it was recently renovated and it shows. It has plenty of seating, free wifi, and a television. I ordered the baby romaine salad with salmon and a side of fries. The salad was pretty much a caesar salad with parm, a crouton crumble, and black garlic dressing. It was a bit pricey and the wait was much longer than I anticipated given we were the only two people in the entire restaurant. That said, the portions were pretty big. The side of fries was enough for a couple people to munch on and the salmon and salad were packed full of flavor. While quite salty, I was satisfied. I would try more of their menu if I happened to be staying here, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return. Given that I'm from out of town and visit a few times a year, this is very well a possibility. I'll end by saying the menu listed off a number of local businesses they support by utilizing their product, a local bakery, a brand of cheese, and a juicery to name a few.

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. Overall- If I was in the neighborhood and craving a yummy coff treat, I'd return- I did really like my drink.
