This little gem is exactly what I'm looking for in a coffee shop. I took two steps inside and felt…read morelike I was at home. The vibes are straight up moody, in the best way possible. Twinkle lights, a neon sign with the phrase "stay wild," plants everywhere and I mean everywhere! Little things that I noticed and loved included a table with a community puzzle and some board/card games, very cool artwork on the walls, and hints of Halloween (skeletons and skulls), my favorite. The community feeling was also very obvious. Everyone was friendly, there were so many cute dogs and people waving and saying hi to each other as they came and went. I loved it. Now, on to the coffee... I was going to be staying put for a while before jumping on the road for a three hour drive so I ended up getting two of their seasonal drinks and a pastry. I always go for the seasonal options and they had several good ones to try. I started with the "peelin' so good," a banana and caramel latte with strawberry drizzle. I opted to get it with oat milk. Oh my goodness, it was so good. You might question banana in a latte, but I've been seeing them pop up everywhere and it was delicious. I also got a babka pastry, which I had never heard of before. It's pretty much a braided roll mixed with a sticky bun. It had cinnamon in it and a syrup over it. I snacked on that while I was there and finished it in my car. Super tasty! Before I left I got the "beez nutz" latte because I knew I would need help staying awake while driving for three hours. It was a honey latte with a peanut butter cold foam. Also delicious. I sipped down every drop. This shop is the perfect mix of dark whimsy, community, and coffee. A special place indeed. Give them a visit!

Decided to get out for a bit since it was gloomy, rainy, and cold out. Cool little spot, too bad it…read morewasn't nice out because the patio area looked great and there was quite a lot of room to enjoy it. As we walked in the ambiance of the plants and art was really cool. Seating was a bit weird, I dislike that singles were hogging up the two tops or four top tables. I guess some people lack etiquette but honestly if the last coffee shop we went to can instill rules then I feel like others should too for the sake of all of their patrons being able to enjoy their shops. We both ordered the Peelin so good, banana caramel with the strawberry drizzle (iced and hot) and a carrot cake muffin. Both coffees were really good: highly recommend both. The carrot cake muffin was dry and the cream cheese crumbled it was so dry so I will not get that again. Definitely 5 stars for the drinks and staff. Three for the overall quality of the muffin because it would have really been great with my drink :( Staff was friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be back on a sunny day to enjoy the patio. Dog friendly so that's a plus.

Jazz music starts at 8pm on Thursdays and by 8 pretty much all tables were taken. On Thursdays they also have 1/2 off bottles so we decided to get a Prosecco to share. We ended up getting two ! They have a small evening menu ranging from charcuterie boards, olives, crab cakes and flatbread. I got the prosciutto, arugula and fig jam flat bread and omgggg it was DELICIOUS!!! The sweetness of the fig jam and the saltiness of the prosciutto is a match made in heaven! One thing I will say is the music is very loud for how small the place is and it was hard to hear but other than that, I will definitely be back. They are also a coffee shop in the morning and a cute spot to work remotely for a day and I'm going to plan to do that! I want to try their coffee !

They have a house made chai syrup and different syrups (pistachio specifically) than most places do. It was my first time to sit and enjoy pastries and crepes. The almond croissant did not disappoint and the light, airiness and flavors took me back to the streets of Paris. The crepe took awhile to come out but it was delicious and my friend said it was worth the wait. I have never had a bad experience when visiting and the staff are always helpful and smiling and joking. Add this to your list of coffee places to check out!

How appropriate to be reviewing a horror-themed coffee shop on the day after Halloween, and also…read moreDia de los Muertos! I wish all of my reviews could be this on-the-nose and well-thought-out. I love a good theme. Black House Cafe is that kind of place to visit when you want a theme. This coffee shop is all horror movie paraphernalia and horror culture, in the heart of Fountain Square. But although it's all horror all the time, it's more spooky than scary. I would not hesitate to bring a child into Black House Cafe, because there's nothing gory or frightening about this place. Mostly, it serves as a cafe art gallery to some of the more famous horror film leads, like Freddy Krueger, the leprechaun in Leprechaun, Michael Meyers, Chucky and other menacing movie greats. It's a fun and playful space. The ambiance is 100/100. Honestly, if you just visited Black House Cafe to check out the artwork on the walls and absorb the horror vibe, it would be worth it. But this cafe has some creative caffeinated drinks also, so you might as well get a coffee. I wanted to get a coffee, but ended up getting a tea. I got the "It's Alive!" drink, which is matcha with pistachio flavoring and milk. Like all matcha drinks, this was one of those drinks where I was like, "Wow! Matcha really does taste like the way fish food smells!" That said, I liked my matcha, and the addition of pistachio flavor put it over the top. They have a few snacky things on the menu, like pastries, bagels, avocado toast and empanadas. I didn't get anything to eat, but I was very close to considering an empanada. Be sure to visit the restroom! It's Gremlins themed!

Today I tried their seasonal tiramisu latte and absolutely loved it. I've tried others but they simply do not compare. The baristas are also very friendly and great with suggestions when needed. 10/10 recommend!

Dear Coat Check, We need to talk -- and I say that with…read morelove, because I keep coming back, which means I'm invested. You're doing a lot of things right. The vibe is there. The aesthetic is there. I want to be here. But at your price point, the experience needs to match the atmosphere, and lately there have been a few things quietly chipping away at that. First -- the syrup situation. I shouldn't have to order a specific menu latte just to get a flavored drink. A little flexibility goes a long way in making a customer feel like a guest and not just a transaction. Let me build my drink a little. I'll spend more, I promise. And the pastries, baby. I ordered a croissant and watched it get placed in a bag with a thin sheet of paper like it didn't deserve better. By the time I got home, it had made up its mind to be a different pastry entirely. I know there's a microwave back there -- I've seen it working for the breakfast sandwiches. A warm croissant is a small thing that changes everything. I'm not going anywhere. But I need you to know I notice these things -- because I care about what this place could be. Still yours (for now), A regular.

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.

I find…read moremyself making excuses to run errands on Washington Street just so I have an excuse to stop at Good Vibes! I know Good Vibes Cafe is known for their boba tea and "croffles," so of course I had to try one of each on my first visit! I love all the punny names of the boba drinks, mine was called "Pinky Swear," and another cute one is "Peach, Don't Kill My Vibe!" The Pinky Swear has a strawberry tea base with peach popping boba, and it's exactly what I order when I get boba at Harmony or Kung Fu Tea, so I knew I was going to like it! The "croffle" (a croissant in the waffle iron) is out-of-this-world delicious! It was the perfect balance of flaky and fluffy, and the Biscoff drizzle and fresh whipped cream made it even better. Now this is definitely not something that you can eat every day, but is a great occasional indulgence. On my most recent visit, I mixed it up and tried a coffee drink this time! I got the Biscoff latte, and it was literally perfect. The cup was lined with Biscoff cookie butter, and the rich espresso balanced out the sweetness and made it impossible to stop drinking. The only thing that would make this latte better would be if it came in a bigger size! One of my favorite things about Good Vibes is the half and half cup, where you can pick a drink for each side of the cup! It's a great way to enjoy everything Good Vibes had to offer without being forced to make a decision between two equally delicious drinks, plus it costs the same as a large drink! What's not to love? I definitely recommend Good Vibes Cafe, and don't be surprised if you see me there when you stop by!

Let me just start by saying the service, people here are very attentive, gracious. Also love the…read moreconcept of walk up window "coffee" shop. However, I really would love to see them make matcha their primary concept as opposed to coffee. I feel like their matcha drinks, made with house syrups, are done artfully. Top 2-3 in city, if not the best in a limited market for matcha. Though many coffee shops have matcha options, there is only one "primary" matcha concept at this point in time (recess in Kennedy King neighborhood). I think selene should be the second. The coffee scene in Indianapolis is surprisingly quite strong, batting above its weight. This shop's coffee drinks do not match up. I blame some/most of this for utilizing Hubbard and cravens (imo one of bottom tier roasters in city, despite being amongst oldest) for lack in quality. Many much better options for area roasters whether in close proximity (tinker, helm, Calvin fletchers, blue mind) or regionally (indie, hopscotch). The lack of average coffee keeps me from going full 5 stars here as name currently prioritizes coffee "the selene coffee and tea". I will certainly edit review to 5 stars if rebrands to primary matcha with "the selene matcha and coffee" or if coffee game improves. As a neighbor in the neighborhood, I appreciate them and want them to succeed, will continue to patronize for their wonderful matcha. Takeaway: If you live in indy or are visiting from out of town in search of top notch matcha drinks, highly recommend the selene.
