    We were greeted when we walked in. I'm a fan of the new menu. The food was served VERY hot. I always get a morning meditation and carrot cake pancakes. I also tried something different today. I asked for no meat on the Chilaquiles Breakfast Bowl. But it came out with steak on it. No big deal, i let the waiter know and it was taken care of. The restaurant was clean. They have a patio section but no one was seated outside today. The biscuits were on the harder side. I was afraid that I wpuld break a tooth but it was good after the first bite.

    Food: yummy! I got the bacon and French toast and was pleasantly surprised at how savory it was. I got mimosas and ofc you can't go wrong with that vitamin c! Service was pretty decent, the servers were managing a lot of tables but still were prompt. Ambiance: I sat outside during when the weather didn't hate me, but the patio was pretty basic and you get a good people watching view across from the government buildings.

    I received a BOGO offer for signing up for their marketing emails and took my mom for a brunch downtown. It was very, very busy and close parking was a challenge, but now I can see why. The food was great! We both really enjoyed our meals and I have no complaints about the service. The menu had a pretty good variety and I appreciated the southern style options, especially. Just expect a wait and plan ahead.

    Eggs Benedict BLT and potatoes! Soooo good!

    Absolutely killer food, service and atmosphere! The breakfast options are large portions and very fair prices! The eggs Benedict blt is so good but get the home fries cause they are epic! The avocado toast is a nice portion for light eating! Will definitely be back!

    Our first time at this location and it was very good as usual. We had to wait about 10 minutes-which was awesome because we tried another place and it was one hour long wait. Service was friendly and food was good. We tried the holiday menu. Husband ordered the steak and eggs hash and it was delicious! I ordered the double crunch breakfast tacos, I felt the tacos ok. They were a bit dry and lacking of something but with plenty of "carnitas " yum-they were good! The restaurant was very clean. Thank you guys you for always giving us something new to try! From: Your frequent diners.

    First Watch has been one of my "go to" weekday breakfast/brunch spots with friends that has been consistently good. I especially love their fresh pressed juices and their staff is always so sweet in allowing me a sample to try their new juice offerings before committing. I haven't quite ventured into their lunch offerings so I can't say much, but nearly all their breakfast offerings are bomb. Their portions are quite generous, usually what my friends and I like to do is to family style our dishes where we will split a savory and sweet to share. Without fail, their hash options are always solid. Seating is never too busy and I always end up in a booth, which is what I prefer. I also never feel rushed to leave the spot, which is always nice when it becomes a catch up spot for meals.

    Great spot for breakfast and brunch. Lots of tasty options and consistently friendly service. The food always comes out fresh and well-prepared, and the menu has something for everyone. That said, I do think the portions could be a bit bigger for the prices they charge. Still, it's a solid choice if you're looking for a dependable and relaxed brunch spot in Downtown Indy.

    Purple haze. A great vegan drink!!

Enjoyed an awesome fruit smoothie that the owner was kind enough to custom make for me. She used their house lemonade as the base instead of milk with real frozen mixed berries. It was incredibly refreshing and hit the spot! Since I was on a healthy kick I got the Chicken Herb soup (also delicious). I love that it comes with oyster crackers. They have a variety of hot teas and coffee plus pastries so I look forward to coming back. Nice little spot to hang out and eat in if you have time.

    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.

    Beautiful cafe located at the entrance of the Omni hotel in downtown Indy…read more A coworker and I were looking for a cool spot to grab lunch and get a little work done and this spot was recommended. We found street parking outside and once inside, I couldn't believe how pretty it was. I heard that it was recently renovated and it shows. It has plenty of seating, free wifi, and a television. I ordered the baby romaine salad with salmon and a side of fries. The salad was pretty much a caesar salad with parm, a crouton crumble, and black garlic dressing. It was a bit pricey and the wait was much longer than I anticipated given we were the only two people in the entire restaurant. That said, the portions were pretty big. The side of fries was enough for a couple people to munch on and the salmon and salad were packed full of flavor. While quite salty, I was satisfied. I would try more of their menu if I happened to be staying here, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return. Given that I'm from out of town and visit a few times a year, this is very well a possibility. I'll end by saying the menu listed off a number of local businesses they support by utilizing their product, a local bakery, a brand of cheese, and a juicery to name a few.

    We needed a spot for lunch but also somewhere we could sit and work for a few hours, so we came…read morehere. This cafe is super cute and modern. I loved that there was an outlet at every table, plus extra ones lining the booths. Such a nice touch! I ordered the caesar salad with grilled chicken and a side of fries. My colleague ordered the same but with salmon instead. The food took about 25 minutes to arrive, but the portions were huge! The fries came in a large bowl (definitely sharable), and the salads were also very generously sized. Protein portions were impressive, too. My salad was pretty good overall, though my colleague felt hers was a bit too salty. Ps-- Expect hotel level pricing!

FYI to those who may have a physical handicap the prevents climbing steps, there are 2 sets of steps to enter the building, I didn't see any handicap accessible entry when I went there. The area to order coffee was really small and could comfortably fit about 5 people in the line inside the ordering station. There were places to stand in the foyer to wait as well, but in my opinion even though there is an open space in the foyer you could be potentially blocking someone's walking space since the ordering station is next to the entrance and the seating areas are in the entryway. I ordered their seasonal From the Past Latte w/ matcha and whole milk. They mentioned that the wait time to receive the drink was 10 minutes, which was understandable with how busy they were, but to my surprise I actually received my drink in half that time. The drink tasted great and if I was still in the area I'd go there again. I definitely noticed for such a small space, the staff were efficient and moved quickly to get everyone their correct orders. All of them were very cordial and professional as well, so that was appreciated.

It is an apartment building. I didn't do my research prior but learned that it used to be a psych ward. Kinda cool. I got their seasonal coconut lavender latte and a signature Sammy. The drink was great, the sandwich took way too long to prepare (we're talking 30 minutes, no joke). I was only annoyed bc I was so hungry, other than that- I didn't care about the wait bc I had nowhere to be. Overall- If I was in the neighborhood and craving a yummy coff treat, I'd return- I did really like my drink.
