    4 birds space - north side of The Garage
    Emily H.

    So happy to have 4 Birds in The Garage! Their space is well stocked and fits into the flow of the food hall nicely. They offer a variety of treats and baked goods from cookies (including gluten free options!) to cake to kolaches. Try their spent grain crackers and house made granola too! And don't forget to check the cooler if you're thirsty or in need of some tiramisu. Breakfast wraps are also offered in the morning and they have a great coffee set up. Time to put 4 birds in my regular coffee stop rotation

    Kolache

    I stopped in and got a chai latte, iced of course and a Kolache which the attendant said was a newer item for them. The had one which was Chicago dog inspired but I chose the apple which I warmed up this morning for breakfast. So good! Light and flaky with sweet apples in the center. I also grabbed some cookies, both peanut butter and peanut butter with chocolate chip. Dense, soft and chewy. Stop by this spot when in The Garage or Bottleworks area!

    I love a good breakfast burrito especially at a coffee shop where I can grab and go. The chicken chorizo burrito is absolutely amazing! The sauce on the side adds a nice chipotle kick, and the chicken chorizo is super flavorful!

    We've loved this bakery since we discovered it at the summer farmers market a few years ago. From their unique and healthy cookies to muffins to espresso, they have great options for everyone. The attendants are always kind and patient. Happy to finally have access to them on the regular with this new brick and mortar spot!

    Salted chocolate chip, oatmeal maple pecan, mint fudge
    Amy R.

    I first heard of 4 Birds when a friend raved about their Farmer's Market breakfast sandwiches, which are unique and incredibly delicious. Now they have a retail space in the Garage Food Hall that I recently checked out for a Yelp elite event. The space is beautiful and has a really nice sized area with tables and chairs. The menu seems geared mainly at coffee and baked goods. There is a breakfast wrap, but no sandwiches. They do have a nice selection of interesting cookie flavors and gluten free options. I was given 3 complimentary cookies including salted chocolate chip, mint fudge, and oatmeal maple pecan. I purchased a peanut butter cookie and chocolate fudge cookie. Sadly, I found the cookies disappointing. The oatmeal maple pecan was the best one. The others were lacking a bit. Almost like they are trying to be a healthier cookie, but not super tasty or healthy. The salted chocolate chip was not as soft as I was expecting ,and I did not think it was chocolatey enough. The peanut butter cookie had a nice texture, but could have been more peanut buttery. The chocolate fudge cookie almost had the texture of a no bake cookie, but not as satisfying. It did seem to have a hint of maybe coconut, but it was not very chocolatey. Overall, I think the space is adorable. It would be a great spot to meet a friend for coffee or grab coffee if you're in the area. Perhaps some of their other pastry items like muffins or coffee cake are better, but I'm not sure the cookies are worth the 4.25/cookie price plus the cost and trouble of finding parking.

    Cranberry Cinnamon cookie,  Chocolate Chip
    Jennifer M.

    A few notes first... 1. Yes, you're in the right spot even though it looks like you're parking in an alley 2. Ring the doorbell 3. Get ready to order 1 of everything! I had so much trouble deciding that I legit ordered 2 of each cookie. The cranberry cinammon makes you feel healthy while you cheat . And the chocolate chip is the best I've had to date

    Blondie, and cranberry orange white chocolate muffin.

    This is a great local bakery, that helps feed the city via their products that make it to all the coffee shops around town. The cookies, blondies, muffins are great. Almost as sweet as the amazing people that work there.

    Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies (There's 4 but I ate 1)
    Michelle G.

    The smell of fresh baked goods hits you and your mouth starts to water! Mike greeted me and told me about 4 Birds Bakery, where they distribute their products and that they plan to open a full retail spot soon. I will be visiting that retail spot when it happens! The focaccia donut was a delicious Yelp specific treat! Fluffy, soft, and wonderful flavors. I got the sea salt chocolate chip cookies and it might be one of the best cookies I've ever had. I don't say that lightly. It's crisp on the outside with a soft center and the flavor is spot on. I will be looking for these cookies at Joes Butcher when I go back next time!

    I didn't know we could walk in and buy baked goods! You can also order online (to make sure you can get what you want). I can't say enough good things about their cookies and I was excited to learn about their crackers and how they were created. I also didn't know they had candles (who doesn't want their house to smell like an amazing bakery??) Definitely check this place out- staff is so friendly, parking is easy along Fulton and products are amazing.

The market has a fun selection of local goods, and the whole space feels thoughtfully designed. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The breakfast sandwich came from a warmer, and the croissant had become soft and mushy. The egg was a firm, precooked square, and the bacon was limp. The pepper jam was delicious and easily the best part, but it could not make up for the lack of texture in the rest of the sandwich. The chocolate croissant looked beautiful and had plenty of visible layers, but it was surprisingly dense and breadlike rather than light and flaky. Our cold brew and matcha were both good, although the matcha did not have much flavor despite being freshly whisked. Service was also slow and strangely disengaged, which made ordering feel more awkward than it needed to be. There is a lot to like about the atmosphere and idea behind Borage, but the execution during this visit did not live up to the presentation. Definitely going to have to try a sit down brunch next time.

Whoever you are... thank you. You changed my life. The sweet woman behind the counter heard where I was from and handed me a complimentary glazed yeast donut. Let me tell you... WHEW! It wasn't even fresh out of the oven, and it still melted in my mouth. Light, soft, perfectly glazed... I knew right then I was in trouble. I ended up buying a box with blueberry cake, applesauce cake, cinnamon sugar, Bavarian cream, glazed yeast, and a few others. Everything was incredibly fresh, and at those prices, I had to double-check the menu because I thought I was reading it wrong! When I got back to my parents' house in Louisville, we warmed a few up for just a few seconds. Game over. They somehow tasted even better. My plan was to take some to church tomorrow to share... but judging by how fast they're disappearing, I may be testifying about them instead. Before I left, the woman smiled and said, "Make sure you come back when you're in town." Oh, I'll be back. I may even create reasons to drive through Indianapolis now. Long's Bakery doesn't need fancy displays or trendy flavors. They simply make outstanding donuts with friendly service and prices that make you wonder if they accidentally forgot inflation. 10/10.

Yes, these are quite a bit pricer that's for sure. People were buying one of everything in line. I was like wow! Some Items the combinations of flavors didn't appeal to me. I love tiramisu and pecan pie so I got them both. One suggestion I would have is to have utensils and napkins at the table for people to use. The pastries I bought are really temperature sensitive and need to be kept cold. Both had a cream - mousse inside. They wouldn't last long only a day or to the next. I loved the pecan item I ordered. It was great! The tiramisu one I wouldn't order again. The bottom flakey part was so bitter. I love coffee and expresso and tiramisu. But, the whole thing just wasn't what I thought it would taste like. Now I know. :-( Creamy, sweet, smooth, with a kick of coffee all come together to make a great tiramisu.
