Had a chicken salad sandwich. Expensive for size and served with chips. I ordered bread not toasted, served toasted. Replaced sandwich. Bread was cold from the fridge and so dry you couldn't swallow. Menu on chalkboard so walk up service. read more

Stopped into Fire and Ice for a planning meeting with my wife, and it immediately felt like one of those hidden neighborhood spots you could easily pass on your daily commute without realizing what you're missing. Once you're inside, though, the vibe pulls you in. They've made the most of a small footprint with cozy, creative seating nooks that invite you to slow down. My wife is already plotting a return just to sit by the chairs near the fireplace. The menu isn't extensive, but it's thoughtfully done--just right for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. I ordered a biscuit sandwich with turkey sausage, egg, pepper jack, and hot honey (not on the menu, but just ask for the Fire and Ice biscuit). When it first came out, I had a quick "where's the rest?" moment, but it turned out to be surprisingly filling and really flavorful. I paired it with the tiramisu cappuccino and loved it--rich, smooth, and a little indulgent in the best way. Fire and Ice feels like the kind of place you're glad you discovered--perfect for studying solo, meeting someone for coffee, or escaping the rush for a bit. It's easy to drive past, but once you stop in, you'll want to come back. Save me a spot by the fireplace! read more

I walked into Fire and Ice Cafe thinking that this was just a typical coffee shop. I walked out thinking, "What the heck is this place? I need to visit again soon!" Fire and Ice Cafe does serve coffee, but they have so much more. It's really a restaurant that serves all gluten-free foods, including crepes, biscuits and gravy, sandwiches, baked goods and lots more. There are also vegan salads and falafel bowls, quiches and something called mittagessen, a sausage, potato and sauerkraut salad. The menu has a slight German tinge to it -- just a whisper of Deutschtum. I didn't try any of the food on this visit; I just popped in to get a cup of coffee to go. But I'll be returning to sit and enjoy a leisurely breakfast or lunch, and maybe even work remotely from the beautiful, light-filled cafe dining room. I'm not a gluten-free eater, but I'm not NOT a gluten-free eater, you feel me? I'm not opposed to gluten-free food, especially when there are so many creative options, like at this place. read more

I met a former colleague for brunch at Fire and Ice Cafe to try out a new place and was very impressed with the menu and ambiance. This is a small venue with a very quaint ambiance and attractive looking decor all around the venue. The menu is very diverse and has a little bit of everything. I walked up to the counter to place my order and was greeted with a big smile from the woman who took my order. I decided to go with the quiche with a mixed greens salad and a chai latte. The woman kindly said they would bring the order to the table when it was ready. My former colleague ordered the biscuit with gravy. We received our orders within 15-20 minutes. The presentation of the quiche was very nice. The quiche tasted immaculate and was light and fluffy. It had a lot of flavor to it which I loved. The light mixed greens salad was a good side to the quiche and very fresh. My former colleague loved her biscuits and gravy and said it was the best she had had in a while. The chai latte was excellent and tasted amazing. The pastry display was nice and looked incredible, but I did not get a pastry because I wanted to be good and cut back on sweets. The overall dining experience at Fire and Ice Cafe was terrific and the staff were very hospitable and took excellent care of us. It was a pleasant way to start a morning with brunch and would highly recommend Fire and Ice Cafe to all my friends looking to try a new place for brunch. It is very different and unique and stands among the best compared to other cafes in Indy. Come check it out because you will be impressed!! Simply marvelous!! read more

It was nice to step into a restaurant where all of the food offerings are gluten free! When you walk in you are greeted with an old parlor-type vibes...with the retro style chandeliers and tables...it was very cozy and pretty. I ordered a meal that included knackwurst, sauerkraut and German style potato salad...complete with the stone ground mustard. Overall, it was very tasty...there were some bites of the potato salad where the potatoes were underdone and not soft...but, those things can happen.:) I had also ordered the hot chocolate...it was OK as far as hot chocolate goes...I added whipped cream and was surprised to see the charge be $1 additional, especially since it was not a big amount...I feel that 25 cents or at most 50 cents would have been more reasonable... Aside from the minor undercooked potato issue and the amount of charge for the whipped cream ... the experience and good was pretty good! I should also mention...the gal who took our order and brought our food was kind and informative! read more

Fire and Ice Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Just discovered this place online and since I hadnt been before decided to give it a try. I have to say when I looked at their menu online the food sounded good and I loved the fact they supported local businesses. I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and an iced toasted marshmallow latte. I decided to sit outside since it was pretty crowded inside . And the outside tables were shaded. The service started out strong. They brought me out water. But after waiting what seemed like a really long time, I hadn't even received my latte. So I went back in and mentioned I had received my order yet. They admitted they had forgotten about me since I was sitting outside. They did promptly bring out my food after I said something. Even though the service wasn't perfect , I would go back because the quality of the food and coffee was good. read more

I stopped in while on a road trip after learning it is dedicated gluten free and features biscuits. (SN: love it when this plan works out!) I don't remember the last time I had a biscuit but I will remember this! Anyway, I got a biscuit sandwich sans protein and it was soooo good! I also tried a latte and the coffee was also delicious. I can't wait to come back to try more menu items. The person taking my order was super helpful, happy I was there even, and the place very clean and comfortable. read more

With Indiana's recent adverse weather, I'll admit that I've been struggling to keep up with my Yelp review regime. I live fairly close to 62nd and Allisonville on Indy's Northeastside and have been wanting to check out a couple new businesses that have opened up in the same strip center as Some Guys and the former Big Lots space (Big Lots recently closed). It's a renovated strip center that was just aching for some new businesses and now it has them. My first visit was this morning's visit to Fire and Ice Cafe, an all gluten-free cafe that also serves up a nice variety of coffees, teas, and other beverages including Ash & Elm Cider. This is a breakfast/brunch spot with a clean, casual vibe that felt comfortable very quickly. I am sometimes hesitant to serve up a 5-star review. I think sometimes it raises expectations unrealistically. For some, it's a "best of the best" rating or screams out "awesome" or "dazzling." However, I tend to believe in the quieter 5-star review as well. These are places where you enter and you feel welcome and you quickly think to yourself "this is my kind of place." Fire and Ice Cafe is my kind of place. It's a place of simplicity with a fairly simple yet winning menu, a clean but comfortable interior, friendly but not obnoxiously friendly employees, and just a place I enjoyed being. I sat there and had my light offering, Americano, and did some reading and just really enjoyed myself. I was initially a little irritated as I arrived and the ramp right outside the former Big Lots was snow-packed. Ugh. This is common, of course, but I at least had a nearby ramp I could still use. However, as I entered I noticed there was another ramp directly next to Fire and Ice that was beautifully cleared and salted (so it was an intentional choice) and it worked beautifully. The entry is a single glass doorway that goes directly into an open-concept dining area. The ordering counter is toward the back and clearly visible. The dining area is mostly tables with some table/bench combos and a nice area near an electric fireplace. The interior is mostly white/off white with some natural wood decor. The menu is pretty simple and, yes, it's ALL gluten free. The owner, whom I believe is Lara, has family members with Celiac disease and has grown in her knowledge of cooking gluten-free. There is egg in a lot of their stuff, however, I was able to order my item without egg (I do have an allergy). They have breakfast sandwiches, biscuits, some pastry options, Mittagassen (a German sausage), crepes, French Galette (with City Ham from Smoking Goose), and more. They also plan to offer an English tea service soon! I ordered a Biscuit with bacon and pepperjack cheese. It also comes with egg, though I requested and received it without. I also ordered an Americano (quad). They also have water that they will provide - a nice touch. My somewhat light breakfast came in at around $13. You can spend more. You can spend less. I find the prices consistent with most coffeehouses and also consistent with gluten-free items. I actually asked as I was leaving if everything was gluten-free. The biscuit sandwich was so tasty that I was honestly surprised. I would easily order it again and plan to do so. So, this isn't a "blow you away" 5-star experience. It's more of a quiet 5-star experience with a winning and comfortable atmosphere, friendly employees, good and healthier food, and fair prices. Welcome to the neighborhood, Fire and Ice. I'll be back. read more

Fire & Enema Cafe. Stopped in and got the ham and egg crepe and potato salad. Crepe was ok, but not even close to worth the $20 I paid for it. Star of the show was the potato salad...at least it was a couple hours later. First red flag should have been that it was lukewarm - being German potato salad, it should be hot. Initial experience was pretty mid, but that evening was an extravaganza of vomiting and intestinal liquefaction. Maybe I just got them on a bad day, but felt I spent way too much money for not such a great dining experience and a sleepless night on the floor in front of the toilet. At least pass on the potato salad if you insist on giving the place a chance. read more

I recently visited Fire & Ice Cafe with family and had a great experience. It was chosen specifically for its inclusiveness for members of our party that were gluten free. I appreciated the fact that their kitchen is allergen friendly, free from gluten, fish, peanuts, tree nuts, etc. I can't say I know any other restaurant in Indy that offers such a diet-friendly menu. And based on my experience, you're not sacrificing taste either when you dine here! I tried the stacked quiche, which had a fun pancake base and was dressed with a flavored balsamic vinegar that complemented it well. I tried a bite of the sweet fruit crepe and it was absolutely delicious - you would never know is was gluten free! read more

This is the real deal delicious foods, coffees, teas, desserts, ice cream. Everything is gluten free and freshly prepared.

The biscuit sandwich with bacon pepper jack cheese was delicious and felt healthy. Seasoned well with herbs that I could see. Also looked like a work of art. The quiche stack was also tasty and the dressing on the salad was delicious! It was a balsamic vinaigrette. They are not a traditional breakfast place but so wanted something different and that's what I got. The atmosphere is relaxed and there is even a place to sit and read and enjoy a coffee by an electric fireplace. Service was excellent and knowledgeable and very personable and attentive. read more

My wife and I stopped in for coffee. It was as a big disappointment. We ordered an Americano and a mocha. Both were weak. I may return to try the food but I'll take a hard pass on the coffee. read more

This is not too far from where I live, and somehow I didn't realize it was there until later in 2025. What I was missing out on! Now I'm a regular about every week or two! Love the biscuit and gravy and hot chai latte. The egg and biscuit sandwiches are wonderful as well. My only negative is the level of noise when it's really busy, but I can adjust by coming earlier or later. read more

Great food, wonderful service, will definitely return! Nice to find a place for great tasting gluten free food!

Last weekend a friend and I ordered a lovely lunch at Fire and Ice. I ordered the German brat plate with potato salad and sauerkraut and it was delicious. My friend had the most delicious hot chocolate but was disappointed by the biscuit. Family friendly. Clean, innovative for this side of the city. Its good to see the adjacent Hanna Cafe, and of course the always wonderful Some Guys Pizza in the same mall. Northeast corner of Allisonville and 62nd St on east side, becoming a food destination. Gluten free too read more

Found this place by surprise. And it turned out to be delicious coffee and the Gluten Free blueberry muffin was over the top! Loved the ambience and the friendly staff. We will be going back for more. Since it's right on the Nickel Back trail. read more

I have eaten here twice. Crepes and drip coffee on round one were enough to have me come back to try the biscuits and gravy. My wife is gluten free so let's just say that I am not excited to sacrifice taste when I go out to primarily gluten free establishments. At fire and ice your taste buds will be delighted without busting the gut. The pumpkin spiced chai was elite. But the drip is savory enough if that is your cup of tea. read more

Overall, this place is an incredible find with sweet and efficient staff! It is so difficult finding places to eat that have gluten free options that are delicious. This place serves the best gluten free food with the tastiest drinks! In my iced latte, there were even ice cubes made out of coffee - genius idea! Will continue coming here! read more

My husband and I ate breakfast at Fire and Ice Cafe yesterday at 62nd and Allisonville . We have a couple of family members who are gluten sensitive so we thought we'd scope it out for them. All their offerings are Gluten Free which we're used to eating and we think is just as tasty as wheat flour food. F&I cafe has very hip, clean and comfortable decor. They have a pretty extensive menu leaning towards German fare. We ordered the Spinach Feta Quiche stack of the day with warm German potato salad as our side and both items were delicious! The owner came out to greet us and she was very gracious. One thing I especially liked was no paper napkins! They use damask cloth napkins thus no paper waste! Lauren was at the counter taking orders and she answered our many questions with knowledge and kindness. We'll be going back very soon to try other items on the menu. Try out FIRE AND ICE CAFE...You won't be disappointed! read more

In what world do you order a double shot of espresso and get a single instead? In Fire and Ice Cafe's world! Apparently their espresso machine is "European, so it works weird". You'd think they would just run it twice to give you what you ordered, but nope! Not here! read more

We have been more than once -- breakfast sandwich, soufflé, French toast, muffins, and coffee. I am bullish on sandwiches, muffins, and coffee (espresso). The soufflé was just ok, and the French toast was disappointing (dry). Sure that can be improved with a bit more egg batter. read more
