    Fall 2025 Cocktail Menu
    M. Spencer H.

    Always a pleasure. I mostly remember to review when I come for cocktails but I love everything. Brought my parents for cocktails and an appetizer before dinner elsewhere. The whipped feta was so much better than I was ready for with fried pita and apple, the flavors played so well together that we were all scraping the plate for a last bite. The Fall 2025 Cocktail list is full of delightful options. Between my mother and I, we tried four of the eight cocktails on the list. Sage Advice is an absolute yes for me, it's light and flavorful. I'm also a sucker for the fluff provided by the egg white, plus who doesn't love a little added protein! The Pumpkin Pie Martini is a great seasonal compliment as the stand in espresso martini. Mom's Bourbon Cider was delicious, served hot it provides a warm hug in drink format. The campfire came next and wow! Strong and delicious, the freshly roasted marshmallow garnish is a win for sure.

    What a wonderful cafe to have some snack and some caffeine. The door and sign is kinda small and you might miss it. But you should able to see people drinking coffee by the big window. Affordable price and exceptional service. Drinks are served in proper drinkware which is glass or ceramic cup and they bring your order to your table, unlike many cafe where they place everybody orders on the counter. Great cup of coffee. Doesn't taste burnt or too acidic.

    I want to preface this with, read my other reviews I always review generously and tend to go with the benefit of the doubt, this is just simply my honest review. I am a biscuits & gravy guy, get it everywhere, this was without a doubt the worst batch I've ever had. Giant chunks of onion, and tons of it in the gravy through the dish. Not one mention of it on the menu, and when I approached the waitress about it the kitchen just did that is how they make it. I've never had B&Gs with a ton of onion outside of green onion, and was kind of shocked I was the one confused by this. The side of bacon was barely cooked, not crunchy at all and very small. Mimosas were good, my wife's Benedict was okay, but we waited for 30 minutes on the food and what I got was incredibly unsatisfactory. If you're going to make an onion gravy for the biscuits and gravy, your description can't just be "house-made buttermilk biscuit, pork sausage gravy".

    The Lobby is a great place for coffee and hanging out. It was busy on a Friday afternoon. My latte was served in a ceramic mug. It tasted smooth and rich. Very nice! This was my first time there. I ordered at the bar and the coffee was brought out to me. The staff are very friendly.

    I had been wanting to try The Lobby by Greyhouse, as I use to visit their original location on Purdue's campus. When you walk in the atmosphere is cute, which is no surprise. Greyhouse does a great job. It was pretty full, but we were able to find a seat in the bar area, as it's a seat yourself style. You can order at the counter, or you can use the QR code on the table. We decided to order with the QR code. I ordered the Pistachio latte and the veggie breakfast biscuit and I added bacon. Service, there really isn't any. Nobody brings water to tables or checks in with you as the QR code is their workhorse for table service. The front of the house was welcoming at the counter when you walked in. The servers delivering food were not friendly. The latte was delicious, and Greyhouse makes 10/10 lattes. However, I was highly disappointed in the presentation. The latte looked like a mess, and was a 0/10 on presentation which was surprising for a restaurant that is a spin off on a coffee shop. The food was average. The biscuit had a lot of flour on the bottom and the avocado was not appealing as it was very brown. The bacon was cooked perfectly, and I liked the other elements of the dish.

    Stopped in for a quick coffee and snack. I was surprised again. I really enjoy the lobby. Everything is calming and relaxing and not stuffy. It's a great place to stop and grab a coffee or just come in for a quick bite. Our waitress was Erica, and oh my goodness, was she the best. She was super nice, very knowledgeable, and I just adored her. I got my norm the creme brulee latte hot . My husband got the greyhause cap, and both were excellent. We also got a chocolate chip cookie. It took me back to my childhood. I will be back soon again. Thanks for such amazing service. We need more Erica's, that's for sure.

    The ambiance is great. Comfortable for college students, business people and everyone else. The coffee is tasty, not bitter and hot! Will visit again!

    I love the ambiance of The Lobby. It's a great place to work, go for a meeting, or to meet friends. I've tried the breakfast sandwich and the eggs Benedict and both were delicious. I do feel the price is a little high, but enjoy the ambiance and feel it's worth it.

    I am totally addicted to this place. The people working there are absolutely amazing . My grandson and I love it there. Carmel Brule is absolutely wonderful!!

    It begins and ends with coffee. Stumbled in here during a farmers market- ordered a regular brewed coffee- 1966 blend- it was without question the best coffee I have ever had. It was complex, with a deep roasted flavor without a trace of bitterness. I also sampled the veggie breakfast sammy that my wife ordered; it was unique on a sweet potato biscuit that reminded me of cornbread. The egg, cheese and spinach were a perfect combo in this knife-and-fork dish. I was not a fan of the tomato jam (think sweet salsa) but the wife enjoyed it. I will be back, and likely be over-caffeinated!

    This is my favorite coffee shop in the West Lafayette/ Lafayette area! The drink/food menu has a lot of great options and the environment is perfect for getting work done or catching up with friends.

    Very cute and upbeat spot! We ordered a couple of DELICIOUS coffees and plan on coming back for brunch after seeing all the yummy foods go by! Our drinks came out quick by one of the waitresses. We will be back to get the full experience next time!

    I had the misfortune of experiencing the worst breakfast in years at this establishment. I ordered…read morea ham and Swiss omelette, specifically requesting that my eggs not be brown. To my dismay, they arrived completely overcooked and unappetizingly brown. To add insult to injury, my toast was burnt to a crisp, nearly charred to a shadow of what it should have been. When I pointed this out to the waitress, her nonchalant response was, "It's kind of burnt," as if there are acceptable levels of burn. In my opinion, when the toast is predominantly black, it clearly falls into the category of "burnt." The overall quality of the meal was abysmal, and it was evident that the staff couldn't have cared less about my experience. While I was not charged for the meal, I wouldn't have paid for it even if I had to. There's simply no way I could bring myself to eat here again. Curiously, my husband ordered a similar omelette, but his came out perfectly yellow and appetizing, along with toast that was actually edible. This made me wonder if my request not to burn my food inadvertently insulted the cook, leading to my meal being intentionally scorched. After sending the dish back, I received not a word of apology or even an offer to prepare something else. It was a complete lack of customer service. This review, without a doubt, has to be the most negative I've ever written. Normally, I refrain from posting bad reviews because I understand that everyone can have an off day. If a restaurant attempts to rectify their mistakes, I tend to be forgiving. But in this case, the food was nothing short of garbage on a plate, and the indifference from the staff was glaring.

    I almost got the Smokehouse Nachos, because I love a good smoked-meat-and-chip situation at a…read morebarbecue joint. But then mine eyes doth glanceth upon the words "Brisket Birria Sandwich" on the menu, and I had to pivot. I'm so glad that I went with my heart. The Brisket Birria Sandwich at Ripple & Company consists of smoked brisket, white cheddar, red onions and cilantro, all melted and pressed between a roll, and served with birria consomme. You dip the sandwich in the consomme and eat, kind of like a French dip. Dip and eat, dip and eat, until you can't dip and eat anymore, either because it's all gone or because your stomach is about to burst. It's a big sandwich, and it is also served with incredibly delicious fries, which doesn't help with the stomach bursting thing. This whole meal is amazing and I would visit Ripple & Company just to eat this exact thing again. I visited with people who ate at Ripple & Company quite frequently, and they got their favorites: The Black & Gold Pub Burger, and the Cajun Shrimp Tacos, with a side of roasted Brussels sprouts. Everyone enjoyed everything. As a nice surprise, one of my dining mates ordered the Smokehouse Nachos for us to share, as if we didn't have enough food. But there's a different chamber in my stomach for chips and nachos, and luckily, that chamber was empty, so it worked out just fine. The nachos are great, with tender pieces of shredded pork, pickled jalapenos, a vegetable mix, green onions and chipotle ranch drizzled on top. The service here is great: We were seated right away, ordered right way, and our food came out within a good amount of time. The decor is car and transportation themed, with traffic signs and hubcaps hung up on the walls. Very fun.

    Meh. As cool as it looked inside, I found the functional stop light annoying. Service was mediocre…read more I feel like everyone was emotionless. It was kinda creepy. The spoon bread was not good. AND, not that I'm counting this against them, but how are you gonna sell me spoon bread and not give me a spoon? Lol. Shrimp tacos were also meh. Very bitter. Shrimp was a good size, but lacking something in the flavor department. The fries were good though. My friend complained about her burger being good, but excessively greasy. Sure enough, I saw a pool of grease on her plate that was dripping out of her burger. I wish I had taken a picture
