The website states that reservations are "strongly suggested" for the October season, which usually…read moreimplies that walk-ins are welcome if you're willing to wait. However, after driving 2.5 hours to get here, we were met by a hostess who flatly informed us it was reservation only. It is incredibly discouraging to see such a massive discrepancy between the online policy and the actual service. We were truly looking forward to a special outing, and while the interior looked quaint and charming from the doorway, we never got the chance to experience it. I'm giving a star because the atmosphere seemed lovely, but the lack of clear communication and the cold reception made for a very sad end to a long journey. I hope the management updates their site to be more explicit so no one else has to waste their afternoon on a drive to nowhere.

The menu is simple, but has enough variety for most all tastes. We started with coffee, designer style for the Christmas holiday. Both were crafted with care and delicious. Our main order consisted of a full order B & G, and a biscuit sandwich consisting of bacon, egg, and cheese. Both items were prepared fresh and delivered to our table in short order. The biscuits and gravy had a wonderful taste, perfectly seasoned and proportion. The sandwich was also a tasty treat, noting the bacon cooked to a crispy perfection! Shout out for the biscuits! Flaky and wonderful! Overall, a wonderful breakfast and delightful atmosphere. I highly recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Even with all the space they look pretty busy whenever I pass by, but that's only been on weekends, so it may be quieter during the week. On a weekend afternoon, though, you will not find quiet here. They have all the standard drinks you expect at a coffee shop and lots of fun specials, but the food selection is a little limited. I think they normally serve soup Mon-Sat but they were out when I got there. I got a bagel with schmear, a zebra (chocolate crinkle) cookie, and one of the February specials called "Opposites Attract" which was a raspberry chai latte. Everything I got was pretty good, especially the fresh, chewy zebra cookie. They warmed it up which made it just a little gooey. The raspberry chai was an interesting combination. i wasn't completely sold on the raspberry - I didn't dislike it but probably wouldn't get it again - but I think I liked the chai itself. The baristas and bookstore staff were all welcoming, and the vibe is very inclusive. I've come in and looked around the store a few times, and the staff seems approachable if you need anything but will leave you alone if you're just browsing.

Their latte prices are also as cheap as they can make them while still making a profit. A latte here would run you around $5 compared to the $8 or $9 at other cafes. They can also order any books you'd like if they don't have them in stock. Great book selection though and such friendly staff who are happy to help! This place is way more than a bookstore and cafe though- they host community events, have book clubs, hold poetry nights and more! You can really get involved in the community through a place like this! Wifi is good and free, plenty of space to study

I ordered a grilled cheese along with a sugar pie slice and a London fog. They have other baked good options which looked good too. The grilled cheese was very small and I think cheese got into the pan because it was also cooked onto the bottom side of the sandwich. It was a very small grilled cheese. The London fog tasted quite strong and the sugar pie didn't really stand out. There were other items on the menu though that I'd love to try if I ever go back. What I think took this down to 3 stars was the service. When I went to order, I was just stared at and I thought maybe they weren't ready for me yet but they were. There was just no greeting of "Hi, welcome in" or even a "What can I get for you?" It was just a stare and silence. Now the staff were not unkind...they certainly seemed friendly but that lack of greeting didn't feel great. Additionally, they were very quiet or mumbled when calling out orders and so it seemed like many people listening never heard their order including me. I also had to ask again for the pie after having paid. I bought a bandana as well and didn't see the price tag. When I asked how much it was the staff member said it was either 12 or 15 dollars. She rang it up as 15 when later I saw the price tag and it clearly said $12. I showed the staff member and she said it was $15 and it was a handwriting issue for the price tag. I rarely write reviews less than five stars but I do think if there could be a bit more initiative from the staff and orders called out more clearly and louder for drinks so they don't spoil that would really help.

The menu explains what is in each drink and has a visual of the ingredients so it is really easy to order even if you don't know what the drinks are. There is lots of parking available and lots of tables to stay and dine in. We got one of the tables in a nook area which was really nice. There were multiple high chairs too so it was a great stop with my toddler. I recommend this one completely just for food, just for drinks, but ideally for both!

You walk in already knowing -- whoever built this, built it with love. Arlene's delivered on that promise from the first bite. I started with the Shakshuka -- a beautiful, layered meeting of flavors that moved the way good food should: with intention. Each bite felt considered, balanced, like everyone in that kitchen genuinely cared. But then came the key lime pie. That texture? Smooth like a promise. Buttery in a way that makes you close your eyes and go somewhere else entirely. The crust held its ground with just the right density before giving way in the most satisfying ratio your teeth have ever experienced. And that mascarpone topping -- cool, pillowy, finished with flaky sea salt that hit like punctuation at the end of a very good sentence. It didn't just taste good. It tasted true. Arlene's, I'll be back sooner than is probably reasonable. And I'm bringing people who deserve to feel what I felt. Sincerely, Your Newest Lover

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.
