    Sausage, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel. Add lettuce, tomato, and aioli.

    5 stars all day!! Amy, the owner, is honestly one of the nicest people ever. You can tell she loves what she does, and it shows in the food. Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing! Fresh, filling, and always perfect. But the real star? The scones. Soft, buttery, and seriously the best I've ever had. This place just has that cozy, local vibe that makes you want to come back time and time again.

    I've been excited to try out caffeinated cook since they opened ! They did not disappoint. We had a fresh out of the oven lemon blueberry scone. The sweetness in it was absolutely perfect. It was like eating a cake in scone form ! Definitely recommend. They were out of biscuits and gravy when we came in, but we got there pretty late. So we opted for breakfast sandwiches. Served hot and delicious ! They don't have espresso, but they do have fun flavors for their coffee. I got a medium drip with coconut and it is yum. Can't wait to go back, preferably earlier in the day !

    When the people are lined up outside at 9am on a Saturday morning, you know it's good stuff! Nice place, clean, friendly staff, easy menu on the wall, variety of baked items, coffees and teas... this is a sweet little spot in Ellettsville. A friend told me the biscuits and gravy were incredible, but to arrive early - they only serve them on Fridays and Saturdays. While enjoying breakfast I heard the last biscuit had been ordered... I like my B&G a little more runny (personal preference), but these are quality, homemade and delicious. Free WiFi too!

    I have wanted to try this restaurant out for some time. The owner who calls herself the caffeinated cook took over what was originally a coffee shop and opened on valentine's day this year. Her hours are from 7 am until 2 pm. The owner runs the shop with a couple other workers. it is conveniently located next to a municipal parking lot in Ellettsville. you can take out or eat in. she concetrates on coffee, fresh baked goods, sandwiches. and an asian cashew chicken salad. On the weekends she offers sausage gravy and freshly made biscuits. My spouse and i tried out the salad. it was excellent. i ate the banana choclate chip muffin. the muffin was moist and you could taste the banana and the chocolate chips. If you want to see what their daily dishes are like, follow her on Facebook. You will even see a short video clip of her sausage gravy and biscuits. She offers wifi for her customers and will even email you your receipt. This is another excellent addition to Ellettsville.

    My delicious gluten free egg and sausage breakfast sandwich.

    There were more than a few Biggby's around, when I lived in Toledo. Having started from Michigan,…read moreit made perfect sense that I'd see a few of them in Toledo, being so close to Michigan-Ohio border n' all.. The issue was that there were plenty of other coffee shops, both mom n' pop and large Starbucks of the world that I really didn't see the merit of Biggby. It may also have something to do with the fact that I'm more of a straight black coffee drinker and usually don't drink "sweet" latte drinks. It seemed like Biggby was more specialized in those craft drinks. This one in Ellettsville, Indiana, I personally think had better quality drinks when I visited. Between the three of us, we ordered one medium roast brew, one craft latte and one fruity drink. All of them came out fine. The atmosphere of the shop itself was also interesting. The shop was in a converted old bank building, which gave it bit of a charm. The main entrance still had an old deposit box next to the door, and drive-thru lanes still had the drive-thru deposit/ATM feel to them. It was also relatively busy, the location being on a corner of one of the main roads of the town. Three nice young bubbly ladies were the baristas inside. When we walked in, there was only one customer, so we made some small chatters and they were all very nice. Once I placed my order though, a few more Door Dash pick-ups came in and the girls became really busy, taking a bit longer than expected to get my food and drinks out. I was here for business, so I'm not sure if I'll ever be back in this area to revisit, but all in all, it wasn't a bad experience at all.

    I picked this provider because the reviews suggested that she was good and her pictures also showed…read morethat she has talent in unique cake designs at a very fair price. BUT Communication: I was having trouble getting information out of her and had to ask several questions to get an answer. Response time took forever and the responses were very short UNTIL I started to speak about payment then everything was fine. style: Don't get my wrong the cake was pretty close (the two stars) We had a Taco Bell themed party and the inspiration cake was fake Taco Bell packs and "sauce" which I assumed would be made out of JELLY. NO, she put actual taco bell packets (did tell me she had to use real ones) and actual Taco Bell sauce on our cake that dried and looked disgusting. The very front of the cake was messed up. I was going to try and fix it myself when I got home but I was afraid I would make it worse. The whole thing just felt sloppy. Taste: This cake was not good. The layers of actual cake was thick and dry and the "filling" was so thin. The icing was thick that almost everyone picked most of it off and there was so much left over. And don't get me started on the taco sauce and the taste of that . Overall, I was very disappointed and will be going somewhere else next time.

    Very fast and great customer service!! The cake was amazing!! Very delicious and beautifully made…read more Definitely recommend

    I love coming to Kung Fu Tea, no matter what state they're in. It's always consistent drinks and…read morevery flavorful. This one is, in my opinion, the best boba tea in Bloomington and, although you have to drive to the west side to get it, it's very worth the short trip. The employees are always very quick to take your order and make your drinks. The shop the always clean and it has a wide open space with lots of tables and chairs. They also have a lot of small items and toys you can purchase while waiting for your drinks.

    Went tonight with the kid. Her favorite spot is on the east side…read more Let me start by saying that this place should NOT be listed in the boba tea category. They technically have boba they can add to any tea or drink you choose, but unless they simply didn't offer it, there is no variety. Kid had a strawberry drink she said was very good, but when it got to the boba she didn't like it and didn't finish it. Her favorite place offers all kinds of boba, including fizzy boba. That being said, they have a wide array of drinks, which means you don't have to be a coffee or tea drinker to enjoy what they serve. There are some good looking concoctions there! The staff was very friendly, and they have a nice little selection of merchandise that is imported straight from china, which is always cool to see. I wound up getting a stuffy for the kid. They also had hair clips, jewelry, pens, and some other goodies. I may stop in myself sometime for a drink. The prices seemed reasonable, and the drink seemed like it was made with care. We don't have many places like this on the west side. Give it a try!
