This is a nice minority owned small business that serves coffee and pastries. The owner was running things while I was there and he was very friendly and helpful. The shop is kind of retro and has a small dining area that you can enjoy your purchases it. I will admit, the pastries did not look too appealing to me. They looked like they had been there a while. They have a small coffee menu that is direct and to the point. My friend order a coffee Americano and I asked the barista for something sweet and tasty. He suggested a Somali tea. It did not take long for us to get our drinks. My friend said his was good. Much better than the chain coffee shop that starts with S. Mine was good too. It was piping hot. I had to let it cool down a bit, before I could fully enjoy it. This shop has some very reasonable prices. You can't beat them. It has great ownership and a cozy/quaint dining area. I recommend checking this place out if you are in the area.

Perfect for a cold winter day. I also like trying the variety of Somalian baked goods. They are not as sweet as American ones, which I appreciate, but they are delicious and keep me coming back for more. The coffee shop is small, but inviting, and it's a special place that is worth a visit.

Wait and kitchen staff were super friendly. Ordered the chicken pot pie to take back to my room which made it even better. Watched them make the pot pie fresh which was a surprise to me. I honestly thought they would heat one up in the microwave. Flavor was delicious with a fresh made pie crust. I'm kind of weird about chunks of chicken, the size and the texture which is the only reason it wasn't five stars. Most were fine and just left the rest that were to large for my liking. (Like I said I'm weird) Swing by and enjoy. Saw a few others with the flat bread pizzas which looked and smelled delicious!

Stopped at mansion society for a coffee and was surprised that there was a coffee shop inside of an…read moreapt complex, but the coffee shop itself was very cute and had ample parking. 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.

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!

The bread was perfectly seedy with just the right balance of crunchy and soft, and they were generous with the avocado. I especially loved the radish and pickled onions on top. Such a simple breakfast, but every bite was so good. And then there was the pistachio iced latte. YUM. I added whipped cream, which really took it to the next level. Honestly, I'm kind of glad I only discovered this place on the last day of my trip because if I had found it earlier, I probably would have had four of those lattes. Great breakfast, great coffee, and now I'm wishing I had one more morning in town!

My friends both got the ginger lattes and I got a tiramisu latte. Flavor and balance was really good, service was pretty fast, plenty of seating, and beautiful interior/exterior.

Very cute for a coffee shop date or studying/working, All in an older building that still has a lot of life- that also gives life to the people that walk in and out.

My aunt and I have made it a point to stop in every-time we're in Indy, and have never been disappointed. I typically stick to their iced chai, which is very refreshing and one of my favorites. Today I tried their seasonal tiramisu latte and absolutely loved it. I've tried others but they simply do not compare. The baristas are also very friendly and great with suggestions when needed. 10/10 recommend!

I would suggest taking a look before you go so you have an idea. My youngest got the pretzel ring. Omg. The pretzel was sooooo soft and the cheese was like a sauce- runny and absolutely out of this world. Not the yellow thick cheese you so frequently get with a pretzel. The other kid got the avocado bagel and loved it. We will be back. There's so much more to try. Wait wasn't too bad for a bustling Sunday.

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.

It is right downtown in a cool location on the second floor of a building, with a restaurant below, which gives it a slightly tucked-away charm.
