With the beginning of the Statehouse Market in downtown Indy for 2023, I'm once again discovering…read moresome of the hidden gems and newbies in the realm of food trucks and farmer's market vendors. One such truck is Milkhouse Brew, a Mooresville, Indiana based mobile coffee truck serving locally roasted coffee, specialty beverages, and locally baked confections. Milkhouse Brew is a partnership between cousins Haliena "Hali" Mynatt and Suni Johnsons. Hali also owns Morgan County event venues 5 East and The Barn at Milkhouse Lane. Suni is a longtime photographer in the area. Both women are locals who graduated from Mooresville High School. Milkhouse Brew has a fairly basic menu, or at least did today, including cappuccino, latte, macchiato, americano, chai latte, and hot chocolate with some variations and flavors available. Prices were pretty darn reasonable and all the drinks could be served either hot or cold. They also all came in either 16-ounce and 20-ounce sizes. Prices primarily were in the $3-6 range and for that you get a tasty drink, awesome service, and the thrill of supporting local. I ordered a 20-ounce iced americano. It was served fairly quickly and they seemed to do a steady business today. A food truck offering coffee has been a serious lacking at Statehouse Market and I'm hoping they will return. Coffee is from Timber City Coffee and Tea - an establishment that recently opened up a storefront in Plainfield. Milkhouse also plans to carry Circle Kombucha, though I did not see it available today. They are also exploring options for root beer on tap. I loved my drink, though I did think the ice melted super quickly and that slightly hindered my enjoyment of the drink. I still enjoyed it, however, that does keep me from forking over a 5th star. Who knows? I hope I get to award that in the future as this new kid on the block, women-owned and operated, really gets going. There's much to love here with an appealing truck, friendly service, quality products that are also local, and an overall winning experience. Here's hoping they'll be back at Statehouse Market in the near future. I could not find an actual address, though they are active on social media and do have a website. They seem to be particularly active in the Morgan/Hendricks county area.

Coffee trucks you can never go wrong with. It was a hot day yesterday and the iced vanilla latte I…read moreordered was refreshing. It came out fast also! I like the menu is simple and to the point. Expressos that can be iced or hot, cappuccino, lattes, Americanos, chai lattes are what they offer. Milks - almond, oat, or whole. Caramel, vanilla, and mocha are the options for flavorings. Whipped cream and extra espresso shots are also available. It's a cute truck. I will be keeping my eye out for them again. They have an Instagram to tell you where they will be next. @milkhousebrew

Also, remember, you can reduce your pumps of flavoring to reduce your sugar intake. Most of their drinks taste the same with half the pumps. One of my favorites I get weekly is there, Trenta and suite green iced tea. If you've never tried it, you should try it. It's always great having the drive-through option. Don't forget with Starbucks. You can always add on a water. Their water is triple filtered. The reason for no five star is this location is always so much slower than all the other locations I visit across the state. Hopefully they can resolve that.

I was excited to stop by BIGGBY to pick up my birthday drink. I love that they offer a free…read morebirthday drink of any size--it's a great perk. I've been a loyal customer since the days of the physical member card, and even now that everything is digital, I still enjoy coming here. While I was there, the barista Marcus (I believe that was his name) was friendly and pleasant throughout my visit. I noticed some coupons displayed in the window and asked if I could have the coupon sheet to use on my return trip. This is not uncommon because they give these to customers to use. He was about to give them to me when another barista stopped him and said that the ones he was handing me were their last sheet. I was a bit confused, since the coupons were clearly displayed in the drive-thru window, and I wondered if more could simply be printed. When I asked, I was told they hadn't received additional sheets yet, so they couldn't give out the last ones. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be any effort to offer an alternative or accommodate the request, which was disappointing. I ended up leaving feeling a bit uncomfortable despite the great service from Marcus. The lady wasn't very kind with her approach but denying me coupons to SUPPORT a local business wasn't on my bingo card for my birthday. Anyway, I enjoyed my coffee, the initial service and supporting a locally owned business.

My visit to The Green Room Cafe was nothing short of a caffeinated revelation…read more From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was enveloped in an atmosphere that felt like a secret garden had collided with an artist's dream -- warm, inviting, and humming with just the right kind of energy. The service was absolutely impeccable: attentive without hovering, warm without pretense, and delivered with the sort of genuine hospitality that makes you feel less like a customer and more like an honored guest at an impossibly chic gathering. And then came the drinks. The pistachio latte was a masterpiece of balance and indulgence -- velvety, nutty, and luxuriously smooth, as though a pistachio grove had somehow been distilled into liquid silk. Each sip unfolded like a sonnet. The wildflower latte, meanwhile, was pure poetry in a cup. Delicately floral without being overpowering, it carried an almost ethereal sweetness, like spring itself had been persuaded to dissolve into espresso. It was whimsical, elegant, and astonishingly memorable. The Green Room Cafe has achieved what so many coffee shops aspire to but few truly accomplish: creating not just beverages, but an experience -- one steeped in artistry, comfort, and just the right amount of enchantment. A triumph. Five stars scarcely feels sufficient. Oh, and parking was mindlessly easy, the owner was present, the bathrooms impeccable, nursing mother's room near restrooms and high ceilings to dissipate the hum.

Decided to try a newish spot in Plainfield, IN - The Green Room Cafe…read more The cafe is located by the Plainfield Government Center. There is plenty of parking and many other restaurants shops nearby. The inside is clean and modern. There are roughly 10 tables, a comfy couch and chairs, and a small bar area. I HAD to try the Beach Day Latte. The latte was made perfectly. The icing on the cake was the house made coconut cold foam! Ohmygoodness- it was delicious. The breakfast sandwich was standard. I will say they did cook my egg to my liking. The bacon was good but still had grease on the two pieces. Our order taker was friendly and extremely helpful with the explaining the menu. I will definitely go back further the lattes!

Very nice staff and the coffee is fantastic. This is where I buy most of my coffee beans, and…read morethey'll even setup your account for bean delivery if you desire. Great coffee roaster. My only critique is that the choice of roasted beans available in-store is sometimes small, but I can't blame them for not wanting to risk product sitting on the shelves.

Today, I did, because I didn't have to fast for a blood draw right down the street. The inside is a lot bigger than I expected. There is plenty of seating. I counted 18 tables with two seats each (for a total of 36 seats) but arranged in various combinations of 2, 4, 6, and 8 seat groups of tables. The service is super friendly. Well over and beyond any expectation you may have, I'm sure. They make you feel like a member of the family and that you have been coming here for years. I ordered the Grilled Philly Steak Sandwich which comes how ever you want it fixed with a choice of six different cheeses. The sandwich was excellent. I had a bag of plain Lays chips with my sandwich. For dessert I had one Chocolate Chip Cookie. Paying is super easy and totally informal (they explained it to me earlier). No waiting on a check, just mosey up to the register when you're ready and settle up.

They host bible study twice a week and you can tell that the restaurant is faith based. The restaurant is located at an odd intersection and has a small private parking area. The restaurant/cafe/coffee house has a small dining area (with what looks like an overflow area to dine) and a typical cafe style menu that has burgers, wraps, sandwiches, and breakfast food. I went with the chicken salad sandwich with fries. The sandwich was surprisingly good. I had never had chicken salad with raisins and grapes before. But it was very flavorful and delicious. The fries were different too, And also in a good way. I cant put my finger on what made them different, but they were just good. The prices are reasonable and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I am glad that I was able to make it here and I recommend that you check this place out if you are looking for good food and the friendliest service that you will find.

My usual was/is a medium iced Blondie with caramel drizzle, and honestly, she never let me down! Then I decided to quit coffee cold turkey... which was brave of me and also slightly tragic. Recently, I decided to start treating myself every now and then, and I got a craving for my OG drink. I was heading to church and noticed the 7 Brew line wasn't long (which feels like a little blessing if you ask me), so I had to stop! Spencer helped me and was super friendly and quick. He typed in my phone number and before I could even finish ordering, he said my drink out loud like he already knew my heart. I was impressed... and slightly called out. That first sip though... pure happiness. My Blondie was perfectly made, sweet, smooth, and exactly how I remembered it! It honestly felt like catching up with an old friend. Now I totally remember why I loved it so much... and why I have to keep my "treat myself" visits in check! Great service, great drinks, and always such a fun, upbeat stop in my day!
