    Jamon queso empanada
    Krystina J.

    We popped in on our way out of town on Sunday around 11:30am. We were able to snag the last free parking spot in the parking lot behind the building. There is a paid parking lot next door as well as street parking available. This place is a Halloween/horror movie-lover's dream! There was decor everywhere from custom sneakers to movie collectables. We didn't mind to stand in line because there was so much to look at. There were a few cafe tables inside the cafe as well as several tables outside. Most all tables were taken. We ordered the Pennywise, Never Sleep Again, & Jamon Queso empanada (the baristas recommendation). Our drinks came out pretty quickly. The Pennywise was good but I was jealous I didn't get the Never Sleep Again - it was so cinnamony and delicious. The empanada took about 15 minutes. But again, we were in no rush. While we were waiting on the empanda we were able to see what everyone else ordered before us. A lot of people ordered the blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese. It smelled delicious. Our empanada was just okay flavor-wise. The inside of the empanada was not full by any means. Next trip I will try the blueberry bagel everyone was ordering and the Never Sleep Again. Definitely recommend adding this unique place to your list!

    Loved the spooky atmosphere! Finally made it to Black House Cafe in Indianapolis and I'm officially obsessed. I ordered the iced Ghostface--white chocolate and raspberry--which is an elite combo and absolutely delicious. The service was top-notch, and the Halloween decor is a total dream for scary movie fans. A must-visit for spooky season lovers

    This place has been on my list to try and I finally made it! Horror fans will definitely appreciate all the details throughout this place! So many cool art pieces and replica props. This place is very busy both times I went but service was a fast as possible and kept moving. Just be prepared to wait a bit if you're going on Saturday or Sunday. Drinks were really good. I tried some of their seasonal drinks. Parking can be tricky in Fountain Square but we always find somewhere.

    Cool horror movie themed cafe & coffeeshop in the Fountain Square neighborhood. It's a very small space and was quite packed on a Saturday afternoon. It's better to get your coffee to go here since seating is limited. There are a variety of drinks and I chose the Fear Street latte off the special June menu. Espresso with white chocolate and raspberry drizzle, this was smooth, sweet and delicious. The only downside to my experience was the wait time - it took about 20 minutes until I was able to order and there weren't that many people in front of me. Once my drink order was in, it was prepared in a timely manner, but I think they could benefit from two people at the order counter to help speed things up. Definitely a funky spot that fits right in with the FS neighborhood.

    Cute horror movie themed coffee house. POC owned. Good service. I was mesmerized when I walked in and didn't realize you order to the left. The open counter in front to the right looked inviting. I was looking for the menu lol. Look up! There seemed to be more room in the back but I didn't go. There are murals all around the building so be sure to check them out. I ordered the dreamer which was really good. They have empanadas and other pastries also. It sits right at the corner and there's plenty of parking behind the building.

    Staying at an Airbnb that is probably owned by the same people right behind the cafe so we went there for coffee yesterday morning. My friend got a hot coffee and I got an iced, so when he said their coffee was really good, I was thinking, well the coffee was good but with getting an iced I couldn't really tell how good. So I went back there today and got a hot coffee and he was right. The coffee was great, service is fast and friendly. The only downside is the location isn't great so you have to know how to park behind if you want to visit, or stay at their Airbnb. The theming is based on old 80s horror movies, so is their Airbnb. They also don't have many seats... Maybe 4 tables, so don't plan to go there for a seat, unless you are going during their non busy hours. I will be getting one last cover from there tomorrow which is it last day.

    Love this place !! Super cute niche coffee spot that everyone could enjoy .. nice outdoor seating to chat with friends .. seating inside and a small area tucked away where someone could study .. Was welcomed with a smile and positive attitudes and even offered suggestions, service was top notch !! Would definitely recommend this as a must go to.. picture worthy

    This was a small location with a few seats available as well as outdoor seating. The Halloween theme was amazing and very well decorated, it is fun to have a themed location in indianapolis. The menu was incredibly fun with amazing options. Everything had a Halloween name or theme. The Granny Smith apple caramel latte was to die for! The staff is so friendly and welcoming.

    The service is quick but it also wasn't packed when we walked in. The place is designed with a bunch of horror features which makes it really cool to explore. They also have CBD which I would personally skip as you really can't tell any difference/affect from it......save yourself the coins. The drink I ordered Candyman was pretty good though. It had a brown sugar something in it that made it very flavorful but it was sweeter than I liked. They have all types of different coffees and based on the times they put out different season drinks you can partake in too! Anytime I'm in the fountain square area and have time to stop I always park and go inside. My only complaint.....the drinks don't come in a bigger size.

    Horror is the theme of this coffee café. It has a Halloween vibe. Not scary but more like Casper the friendly ghost. I had the Carmella iced. Carmella is a salted carmel expresso latte with carmel drizzle. You can also add CBD to your drinks. This is a must visit in October. I bet the Halloween decorations are awesome.

    My go-to coffee shop in the Fountain Square area. Fantastic coffee, smoothies, and horror decor all year round. My favorite holiday is Halloween and this store perfectly encapsulates the holiday and all things horror. The Carmilla hot to go is my go-to year round, but I have never had a bad drink here. Their smoothies are fantastic and I love that they have a vegan protein scoop option. Great service all the time. I went during the T-Swift weekend and I didn't have any issues. There was a line out the door and the small space was packed, but everything ran smoothly. They're a small team of baristas, but they do an amazing job. I am never the only customer in the store when I go-- they are popular for a reason! I still need to try their gluten free options for food! Gluten free avocado toast and gluten free cookies are available and they have several vegan options. It's nice to see a store have so many options for different dietary restrictions.

    What a cool, funky, horror-movie inspired place to get coffee, smoothies and awesomely named drinks. Service was great. The descriptions for each drink was clear and descriptive. I can't wait to bring my sons here. Located in Fountain Square which is hip and cool in it of itself.

    In terms of branding and decor, this place is impeccable. I'm not a horror movie buff but I was quite impressed by the aesthetics. I am disappointed to write this review because I've heard a lot of good things about this place. As a minor critique, they really only had 1-2 people making drinks, when they really could use a third. My major critique is that my coffee was just incredibly bland for what it's worth. I got the Ghostface iced coffee which was $7 for 16 oz. It's supposed to be a white chocolate raspberry mocha. I didn't taste any mocha flavor, nor much of a general coffee flavor. The raspberry syrup is just drizzled on the rim of the cup and settles down to the bottom of the drink pretty quickly. Because I detest syrups that do that (expect for chocolate), I did not finish the drink. And so, the only flavor I had for most of my drink was milk flavor. I'm sure that other drinks are better as this was a very popular place with all of their outdoor tables filled, and I'm sure the food is also good. But this coffee was just not it at all.

    Front counter for ordering! Tons of specials

    New juicery? Yes, please! It's incredibly hard to consume all of the vegetable and fruit servings…read moreyou're supposed to have in one day, and when I have succeeded, it's probably because I've had a cold-pressed juice. Seriously! One juice is MULTIPLE servings of both! I walked in and the owner passionately explained all their juices and let me try all of them to make my decision a bit easier. So nice of him! I ordered the "Green with Envy" juice and it has: 1.5 apples, 2 heads of romaine, 1/4 cucumber, 1/4 celery and 1/4 bunch of kale. WOW. Feelin' clean over here. The shop itself is new as of a month or so ago and serves kombucha, coffee (and I believe tea?) in addition to their cold-pressed juices. They didn't have any food that I saw. There are a few tables for people to sit down and work. The owner mentioned that they're currently trying to rebrand to 317 juice so are awaiting a few changes until that name is officially up and running. Stay tuned for them and definitely check them out!

The owner is extremely passionate about her business and how they want to expand. They offer four juice flavors currently and all recipes are original. The Carrot Bliss was by far my favorite and could be a great breakfast drink as it's also flavored with orange. Organic, vegan and they also have coffee and teas. Expansions could include smoothies (YUM), a juice bar so people can customize and activities like yoga. This would also be a great work space! Stop in and show them some love.

Warm wood tables, clean aesthetic, and a menu that makes you want to try everything. It's giving "casual brunch" but elevated in the best way. -- And the menu? Thoughtfully curated with options that feel both elevated and comforting. It's the kind of place where brunch turns into a whole vibe. You're not just eating, you're lingering. -- This is the kind of place where you lose track of time (especially with friends), laugh a little louder, and order "just one more thing." -- If you're on Mass Ave and skip this spot...

The coffee itself is smooth, flavorful, and customizable, which I love. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and the flavors are always balanced, not too sweet, not too strong.

Or maybe a slice of toast with avocado and smoked salmon on it (they have that, too). You can get breakfast foods here that are nutritious and delicious. But I was here for lunch. And I felt like I needed to replenish my vitamin K reserves, so I got the sesame kale salad, which is kale, thinly sliced radish, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño slices, a sunflower and sesame seed crumble, and a sesame-ginger vinaigrette. It was delicious! You can add an egg or chicken or salmon, but I don't think it needs any of those. If I had to do it all again, I'd ask for light dressing, because they were a little heavy-handed with the dressing on this salad. Isn't that always the way?! Restaurants need to cool it with the dressing, in my opinion. To be honest, the booze situation at Rize is a little anemic, but I don't think Rize is really the place to order anything alcoholic beyond a mimosa or bloody Mary. I got a screwdriver: freshly squeezed orange juice and vodka, and I'm still wondering where the vodka went. It did not visit my screwdriver, I tell you what. The seating inside Rize feels like it's at a premium, because depending on when you visit, there is very little of it. When I visited, almost every table was occupied, and the place was echoing with conversation. I chose to sit outside, which I'd recommend, if you can! It's so nice to sit and eat a good meal outdoors. How many times do we get to eat outdoors in Indiana? Just go outside, if you can.

A perfectly cooked sunny side up egg topped it off. My wife had Eggs Benedict with heirloom tomato slices swapped for the English muffin. It looked amazing. One tip... coffee is $5, but so is cold brew or a cappuccino. They may not be bottomless, but we both upgraded from the drip coffee for the same price.
