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!

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!

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.

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!!

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.

This place is wonderful. A large latte for $4 are you joking?!? Delicious biscuit sandwiches and I'm excited to return to try the Mittagessen! Very cute cafe that has real food (I love croissants while working don't get me wrong but the option to eat a real breakfast is unique!!) it's light and spacious with quick and kind service! You can get an Ash and Elm Cider, ice cream, mimosas and more but you can also work. This place is affordable and cute!!

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.

This cafe is beautiful and the food is absolutely delicious. If you have food allergies, this is the safe place you've always wanted in our community. We can't wait to go back!

Really love the overall vibe of this cafe, and it is so fun to visit. The makes such amazing gluten free items (the biscuits and gravy are amazing) without compromising the flavor or texture one usually expects. Will become part of my regular places here in the Broad Ripple area.

This is the real deal delicious foods, coffees, teas, desserts, ice cream. Everything is gluten free and freshly prepared. My wife and I had the breakfast biscuit, chicken salad sandwich with chips, biscuits and gravy and caramel apple crepe. The wait staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Just go already
