first time having a croissant french toast and it was delicious but pretty sweet. crunchy on the outside w/ pecans and soft on the inside. not sure if it's a seasonal thing but it made me really happy that the side of fruits did not have any melons!! for being the same cost as most of their omelettes, i wish it came w/ one more side or be priced at $1-2 less. cute spot in indy close the convention center and great service. would come back again next time i'm in town! read more

I wanted to like this place more- the food was good, but everything else made it feel not worth it. 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. read more

This is a nice little spot in downtown Indianapolis. It's at the bottom of a business building and next to another café on the other side of the lobby. The menu had quite the variety. You can order things from the lunch or breakfast, which is all included on the same menu. I enjoyed the coconut curry chicken soup. The soup had a good taste, but I think it needed a little more coconut or thickness to make it more enjoyable. NICOLE was very attentive and kind. She ensure that we got our food in a timely manner and were satisfied with what we ordered. read more

This place was extremely busy on a Saturday morning. Parking is metered, but I was able to find a spot on Washington Street without too much trouble. I liked the complimentary coffee bar while waiting for a table. Since I came with a couple of friends and didn't have reservations, we ended up waiting somewhere between 30 minutes to an hour before being seated. One of the biggest drawbacks was the restroom situation. There are only two gender neutral restrooms, and the wait was incredibly long. I waited close to 30 minutes just to use the restroom. It seemed like only one restroom may have been operational because I only noticed people coming out of one. For a business this large and as busy as it gets, I don't feel that's enough restroom accommodation. The first available table was outside, so we decided to take it. Unfortunately, it wasn't the best experience. There was nearby construction, making it very loud and difficult to carry on conversations amongst our table. It was also a windy and chilly day, and I definitely underestimated the weather. I should have brought a coat! We weren't in the sun so it was too chilly. The strong wind constantly blew napkins and other items around the table, which became frustrating. During cooler days, outdoor heaters would make the patio much more comfortable. Even though I was uncomfortable, our server was friendly and attentive to us. I ordered the Morning Edition breakfast, and it was excellent. I liked the variety of items included, everything tasted good, and the portion size was just right for me. I finished every bite and left satisfied. I really enjoyed the potatoes and cinnamon toast. I enjoyed my food and service was good, but if you're planning to visit on a Saturday morning, I would strongly recommend making reservations if possible. It could save you a long wait and potentially get you a better seating option. read more

This is very solid modern breakfast spot. Food was pretty good but relatively expensive for the portions. The coffee bar was very good. Food: I was very pleased with the quality of the food but you might be disappointed with the portions if you like a hefty breakfast. The coffee bar was very high quality featuring locally roasted coffee. Service: The staff was prompt and food service was fast. The waiter also gave us the check without us having to ask but it was a bit early about half way through the meal. We didn't mind because they reassured us to take our time, but some might think it rude. Atmosphere: The interior was clean and modern fitting the downtown business atmosphere. It's just not my favorite atmosphere for breakfast. read more

I was only in town for a Colts game, so we stopped in for brunch, and it was so delicious. I loved the unique touch they put on the food, and the staff was amazing. The space was pretty crowded with the farm-style table seating, but overall it was a great experience. read more

The Vegan Crepe (which is actually a savory chickpea-based crepe, not a sweet one) was fantastic! The crepe itself was tender and flavorful--definitely not your average boring vegan egg substitute. It was stuffed with tasty ingredients like black beans, vegan cheese, arugula, and avocado. The jalapeño pesto and salsa served alongside it added a great, fresh kick without being overly spicy. It was filling, wholesome, and felt like a truly thoughtful dish, not just an afterthought. The service was prompt and friendly, and the location across from the State Capitol is very convenient. If you're looking for a delicious and healthy place start to your day in Indy, this is a great spot. read more

Cafe Patachou, what has happened to you? An extremely disappointing experience where we had to leave without ever receiving our food, or even being able to order. Our group of six planned to eat breakfast here before a Colts game. The hostess told us 20-25 minute wait, which we had expected, and why we had arrived early. Nearly an hour later the hostess called us and prepared to seat us. As she started to head toward the table she saw a group of 9 were being seated at our table with another table being pushed in to accommodate. The hostess instructed us to wait while she found out what had happened to our table. She came back to report to us that the manager had brought in a group of 9 and just seated them at our table. She was very apologetic and offered to seat us outside, which we agreed. However, we sat outside for 15 minutes and no one came to take our order. It was like once we were seated at an outdoor table they totally forgot about us. While we were sitting there we saw other groups being called in when tables became available, but no server ever approached us. After waiting 15 minutes we decided that we couldn't wait any longer, so one member of our group went in to tell the hostess that we would have to leave. This would be a one star review except that the hostess was so apologetic and was truly sorry that the manager had seated another group at our table. And she was unaware that no one had come outside to take our order once we were seated outside. Very disappointed with this experience. read more

Cute cafe located in downtown Indianapolis. Came here a few times for breakfast. The wait staff is very nice. I loved the Bruce's Granola Breakfast. It was yogurt topped with Granola, strawberries, blueberries, and a bruleed banana. Very good and filling. For coffee, I tried their English Toffee Latte and the Peppermint Latte. Both were pretty good. In the 2nd day of dining their, the staff recognized me, which was pretty cool. read more

Had visited Cafe Patachou for lunch on our trip to Indiana. We ordered a soup and salad combination and a cuban breakfast. I had picked the chopped Cobb for the combo. The salad topped with blue cheese was super fresh and I really loved the dish. The mazzo ball soup was warm and delicious. We paired the meal with lavender lemonade which was refreshing. Our server was super friendly and helpful, and we really enjoyed the outdoor seating arrangement. Overall a very good experience. read more

I haven't been to this location in a really long time. Service was very friendly and prompt. We were waiting for the rest our party to arrive and as soon as we were ready, we were seated very quickly. I ordered the California Dreamer and added mushrooms and the cinnamon sourdough- it was delicious but there was way too much arugula on the plate. I also ordered a side of chicken sausage and it was just ok. I also ordered the brown sugar cinnamon latte and that was really good! Overall experience was as very good! read more

We were in town for a weekend getaway and some friends recommended we try Cafe Patachou for breakfast. I'm not sure how crowded the place usually is, but we happened to go when the marathon was taking place and the restaurant was packed. But getting in line to snag a table was a very easy experience and before too long we were seated. The food and coffee were both quite good. The service was attentive and speedy. I got the Double Major omelette, my wife got the avocado toast, and we shared a slice of pumpkin bread. Overall, nothing overly fancy -- just a good, reliable breakfast experience that hit the spot. read more

Really great breakfast spot. Has a good selection of different breakfast foods and drinks. It's a great upscale atmosphere mixed with a relaxed feel. I ordered the broken yolk sandwich with the pork sausage patties. The sausage was very flavorful and didn't have much of the hard gristle sausage can have. I then substituted the arugula with fruit which was a good choice. I also enjoyed the tea. My friend got the flavored special coffee and he loved it. It was French vanilla on this day. read more

Stopped here after coming to Indy for an indoor track meet on a Saturday around 1:00. Only had to wait a couple minutes to get a table. The food was great. Good selection of sweet and savory. We both opted for an omelet and supplemented with cinnamon toast and the GF cranberry bread. Both were delicious. The service was very good. Time to get food was relatively short and the server was friendly and attentive. Will definitely recommend to others. read more

My mom had a taste of the waffle grilled cheese & tomato/artichoke bisque over the weekend and couldn't stop talking about it! I had an appointment next-door today, and was excited to give it a try! I walked in the door at 2:55 not realizing that they close at 3 PM. I received a friendly greeting and was seated so I could order lunch. After ordering, I connected to the Wi-Fi and realized that they closed at 3 PM. I felt so terrible, I would never decide to visit a restaurant five minutes before closing, but I was so impressed by the hospitality that outshined my ignorance. The food was hot and fresh and the service was very friendly. I very much appreciated the hospitality and the food was phenomenal! I will definitely be back, next time when I have more leisure time to sit and relax and enjoy more menu options. read more

To close our amazing concert weekend trip to Indy, we wanted to end on a high note. Every search for brunch around downtown began with Cafe Patachou, so we took a 15 minute walk from the hotel to the restaurant. As expected, there was a long line of people waiting for a table. Luckily, they have free coffee that's available. The regular roast was gone, so I opted for Banana Nut. Holy cow! It was incredible. It made the 20 minute wait for a table fly by. My wife and I are bar people, so we were happy to be seated in stools by the kitchen window. I ordered the Cinnamon Bomb Donut and a Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte, which was a nice pairing. The donut was so so good...and gluten free! So my wife got to enjoy a few bite, which was great for me because I could save room for brunch. I was hungry. I ordered the Cuban Breakfast and added chorizo. I barely got a picture of it because once I cracked the egg, it was gone within 5 minutes. Every bite was excellent. The yolk mixed with sour cream, pesto, and avocado was delightful. I was very happy with my choice. My wife also enjoyed her omelette, bacon (which was thick), and the mimosa to wash it all down. Once we sat down, service moved pretty quick. Our bartender was very busy, but always checked in every 7-8 minutes. It was a very good experience. We even left with banana nut coffee beans so we can enjoy the coffee in Louisville. We enjoyed our time at Cafe Patachou, and recommend checking it out. Don't let the line intimidate you because it is so worth the wait! read more

My favorite breakfast in Indianapolis. I love a good omelette and their OMELETTE YOU CAN'T REFUSE Is perfect. Bacon, white cheddar, sour cream, and potatoes. It's one of those omelets that fills you up but you don't fill terrible after it at all. It came with a nice light salad that was the perfect pairing. Plus I chose cinnamon toast as my bread of choice and that was spectacular. If It's a causal breakfast, one with a significant other or a business brunch, this place is perfect read more

Here's all you need to know about how good Cafe Patachou is: we're in Indianapolis for four days, and I'm already pitching that we go back here for all our remaining breakfasts. I got the Ricotta Scrambled Eggs, which are probably the best scrambled eggs I've ever had. The eggs are supremely fluffy, and come sprinkled with red pepper, chives, and Parmesan cheese. It's finished with calabrian chili oil, giving the whole dish a warm spice that balances the rich eggs and cheese. I would 100% order this again! I was also quite impressed by the speed with which the servers moved folks through, without ever making us feel rushed while we were eating. They're clearly adept at dealing with a breakfast rush! read more

Delicious! Great menu, full of unique options. Opted for two scrambled eggs, side of bacon and small order of yogurt/berries/granola. All tasted delicious, perfect portion size too! We also got the Cuban breakfast, which is kinda like a chipotle bowl. It was missing the spinach-jalapeño pesto, which would have been nice. We also got the cinnamon toast, which was to die for! Talk about thick sliced toast sprinkled with cinnamon sugar-- delicious!!! Finally, service was attentive and responsive. Outside of finding parking, great experience. read more

Came right before noon before the lunch rush on a Friday. It was my second time here; I got a chorizo bowl last time which was delicious. Got a power greens bowl this time with smoked salmon, matzo ball soup, and coffee. Service was friendly and quick. The shop is bustling and there's a lot of healthy options. My cup of matzo ball soup was heartwarming. Glad I could come by on a Friday! The ball was soft and not chunky like other ones I've had; tasted standard. The power greens bowl looked small but kept me satisfactorily full throughout the next couple of hours. Lots of good flavor and textures in there. The coffee is self-serve and you can take it to go. I like the variety of milk options. There was a third drink besides regular coffee and decaf, but I wasn't sure if it was a tea or a third coffee option. With tax and tip for my items, it came out to be $36. Pretty pricey for Indianapolis in my opinion. Although definitely a reliable spot for a meal while hanging near the convention center! read more
