Adorable coffee-themed kids play area plus venue space for Bible studies or book clubs. There was even a bridal shower happening the day we were there in the large venue space in the back.

I was glad to find this small-town local coffee house open at 7:00 in the morning. This trendy cafe…read moreoffers a gathering and work space. Rooms are available for events. There is a Christian vibe throughout the cafe. The staff is welcoming and friendly. A case is filled with fresh baked pastries, including an assorted selection of gluten-free options. I had a Cherry Babka, which wasn't overly sweet, just perfect. Weekdays, they offer sandwiches (but currently not on weekends). The dining area has comfy seating, assorted tables and a reading nook for the kids. Free WiFi is available for people that need to work. Free parking is available in front of the cafe.

Working at a food pantry truly gives you life perspective. If you aren't hungry and have a place to…read morego tonight, you're blessed, something I always try to keep in the back of my mind. You'd be surprised as to how many people don't have those luxuries (and yes, even people in Carmel). Families come into the food pantry all day and they're guided through the fruits, veggies, frozen food, frozen meats, breads, and dessert sections of the food pantry. Based on the number of family members they have to feed, they can select different amounts of each food item. The food pantry is often in need of those fresh fruits and veggies (especially in winter when they aren't getting the leftovers from the summer farmers market down the road). Toiletries are also always needed: deodorant, diapers, toilet paper, soaps, shampoo/conditioner, etc. Check their hours, then you can donate foods or sign up to volunteer and it's much appreciated.

We dropped off a few food items for someone in need. Great work team! I'll be back with more items…read moresoon.

It was my first time back in the old neighborhood in a while and a stop at Cup of Joy seemed to be…read moreappropriate. Friendly service and a bargain at $4.75 for a 16 ounce coffee and a blueberry muffin is unheard of these days. Someone else described this as an oasis in an underprivileged neighborhood I believe. Growing up here was difficult but places such as this have given the community a ray of sunshine. Worth a look if you are in the area.

Within moments of my first visit, I planned a return trip to this coffee shop. Every bit of it is…read moredone with quality. Great spot to visit with a friend or come and be quiet, read, think . . . The ambience is peaceful and classic. The lattes were delicious and served in a mug (my preference) or takeaway paper cups. The staff were helpful and even checked in with us to make sure everything was fine. The price is an excellent value for the quality drinks. I did not purchase food this time but it looked like a good selection of pastries and savory items. There is offstreet parking available. Drink sizes start at 16 ounces which is more than I typically get. Next time I will ask for 10-12 ounces and I suspect they will accommodate my request. This is likely to become my destination coffee shop. It is not in my neighborhood nor near normal travel paths but definitely worth the easy drive and quality venue.

While in the area I stopped by Rainbow Blossom to check out their essential oils. I enjoy having…read morethem at night as part of my unwinding and sleep routine. Most of their options didn't come as roller balls and I couldn't smell them so not a fit for me, but I did leave with a few candles. This location of Rainbow Blossom is much smaller than others but I'm sure it's great for its popular items. What pushed me to a 4 star here was the gentleman working. So helpful, friendly and engaging. Frankly I don't find this to be the norm at Rainbow Blossom and part of the reason I don't frequent their shops as often. A refreshing surprise!

This was my first time at the venue in many many years. A friend hosted a birthday party here. It…read morewas dressed beautifully for the holidays! Heavy appetizers were provided. I'm not sure if the catering is set up by the venue or the host, but it was very nice. You can rent the building that includes several bedrooms. Based on the tour, it seemed the home still has most of it's original features. There is quite a bit of parking available and you don't find a TV in every room so it's perfect to stay a bit off the grid. I look forward to coming back for one of their hosted events to see what else there is to offer.

We booked this place to stay while being there for the Indy 500. The innkeepers, Stephanie and…read moreDanny were great. We couldn't have asked for better service. They did a great breakfast and made it a personal interest that we were happy there. They were easy to talk to and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. In between going to events we got to relax and have some good conversations with them about things to do in Indianapolis. They are the jem of this place. The house is very historical. We love the architecture and the character it carries. It felt like living back in time before tv's and cell phones took our time from us. Very clean. I slept like a rock in the comfortable bed. I am thankful these places still exist and the atmosphere that brings family together. I can't wait to stay there again next year.
