Our son comes here often after he goes to Church on Sundays for a hearty, delicious breakfast. We come here when we visit him for the exact same reason- plus the fact that the service is legit. If you're reading this, you're probably in or near TH. It's on Wabash Ave and there are no shortage of places to eat. Coffee Cup has one of the best breakfasts in town (see my reviews for the other one I love)- and it's affordable, filling, and most of all delicious. We always worry our son is eating right in college, but those fears are assuaged when we take him here. Love this place- if you have a kid at ISU or RHIT- it's a winner. If you are a TH resident- lucky you- another great place in your wonderful town.

Worst service of my life. I wanted to take my girls out for lunch. They ordered kids spaghetti; it…read moretasted like a dollar tree sauce and was gross. When asked at the end by the owner how everything was I let him know it was less than impressive. I said the sauce was gross. His response was " like you". Why ask my opinion then attack me? Then an overweight too-much-make-up-wearing server had the audacity to say "you ate one plate of spaghetti". Yes mam, my 4 year old ate the plate. When we left she said it was the nastiest spaghetti she's ever had. I asked twice for a water that never came also during my visit. All in all, I'd NEVER return. My issue was treated like I was looking for a discount and couldn't just be a conversation about how gross the food was. What terrible customer service.

Don't let my 2 discourage you from stopping by, I mean that! Life is about managing expectations. For purposes of looking at this old church, the beautiful stained glass and the organ, absolutely pop in to take in the beauty of this old building. Just know what this place is and know what it is not. I stopped by during "library hours" from 10AM-4PM with to check this place out, read my book and grab coffee. During this time, the coffee is self serve, in urns, probably sitting there for some time, not hot and pretty bad. Powdered creamer is available. I made a donation of $2, got my bad coffee and sat in the open, quiet space of the Meeting Grounds for about an hour reading my book. So despite being dissatisfied with the coffee, my mission was accomplished. When I was there, there were three older men who were having a Bible study discussion and there were two guys who must live in the area who stopped in to grab coffee and then promptly left. I felt comfortable being there, taking some photos, minding my business, doing my thing, despite the kind of odd surroundings. The room is big and this would be a perfect little spot for a group to meet or book club to gather. They have snacks and other simple coffee drinks, but those are available for sale during the non-library hours I believe. The Meeting Grounds itself is open to the public from 8AM-8PM, according to the sign at the door. The church itself seems part hippie revival/part lazily renovated/part historically cool. It is an interesting old space.

We had been to Oy Vey years ago when they were on 3rd Street, and I remember really enjoying it. We…read moredecided to stop at this new location, and weren't disappointed. The restaurant smells of bread and soup as soon as you walk in. This is one of those places that you know is actually handmade as soon as it gets put down in front of you. We all ordered half soup/half sandwich meal. But the portions were huge, honestly. We could have shared. I got the lemon pepper chicken sandwich with chicken rice soup, both were actually incredible. My companions got the Reuben and pasta salad, and the sweet potato soup with turkey Reuben. Everything was great. The sweet potato soup is just that, very sweet, molasses flavor - might not be for everyone. The woman that took our order was very kind She shared some knowledge of their breads with us and even gave us a free load of sourdough to take home. They have many different types of breads, rolls, pastries etc available at the counter for pickup, anytime. Many, if not most, of the menu is turkey. We had one person that didn't eat turkey and specifically ordered the Reuben without turkey. The kitchen ran out of pastrami and put turkey on his sandwich. When she told him about the change, and he mentioned not liking turkey, she said well it's actually chicken anyhow. This was really confusing. He took it off and enjoyed the sandwich, but they should be cautious of changing ingredients without asking because of allergies and preferences. The restaurant is very small, with a few tables for dine in. There is no restroom.

I was intrigued by Oy Vey from the very start. I'd never been to a Jewish restaurant before, and…read morewanted to see what flavors I could discover. After eating here, I realized that I had completely underestimated this particular cuisine. The title of this restaurant may be alarming at first, but believe me, "oy vey" will be the last thing you say after tasting these delicious dishes. My family and I got two Reubens, Chicken and Rice soup, Borscht soup, Chicken Shawarma, South African Sweet Potato stew, baklava, and latkes all for about 59 bucks. And pretty much everything was homemade. Because of the great quality and quantity of all these items, I ended up stuffed and satisfied. We start off with their Reuben. I had heard much about this dish from other reviews, and it definitely did not disappoint. The corned beef was well-seasoned, and the sauerkraut was tangy and fresh. The Chicken and Rice soup was good, but could have used a little bit more seasoning. This is compared to the other items, though, so the expectation might have been set too high for this soup. Unlike the Chicken and Rice soup, the Borscht soup was firing up my taste buds with its deep tangy flavor. This dish is vegan, but Oy Vey definitely didn't compromise the flavor due to that classification. And along with the soup came a few pieces of a homemade flatbread that was soft and delicious as well. The Chicken Shawarma was pretty good. Again, the flavor was just a little lacking when compared to some of the other dishes. None of this is enough to take away from my 5-star rating, though. These are just little things that I think could be improved upon. I had the South African sweet potato stew as a side to my Reuben, and wow, was it good. The sweet potato blended perfectly with the mix of spices. This may have been the most flavorful stew I have ever eaten. Now, before I talk about this baklava, I ask you to erase anything you seemingly already know about Greek honey baklava from your mind, because that's not what this is. This baklava was entirely different, and even more scrumptious, in my opinion. Instead of your classic honey topping, this baklava was smothered in a cinnamon sauce. Like I said, a completely different experience, but one that was great in its own way. Last, but definitely not least, we have the latkes. These small, round potato pancakes were also different from the latkes I knew. And again, they were just as good, if not better. They sort of reminded me of fried mashed potatoes. There was also a side of applesauce that came with the order for dipping. The applesauce was also delicious. All in all, our experience at Oy Vey was delectable and filling. Though improvements could be made on some select items, Oy Vey really brings the flavor! So the next time you're in or around Terra Haute, stop by. Your taste buds will be very glad you did!

In addition to this being a uniquely cool concept that successfully grew root in Terre Haute, not to mention in the neat 12 Points area of town. Now I have been to several cat cafes around the planet (even an owl cafe in Tokyo and a rabbit cafe in Hong Kong). Cat cafes in and of themselves are what they are. Kind of smell like cats, kind of have subpar food/drink offerings. Only cat people really go to these kind of places, right? But then I enter the Catmosphere. Not going to lie, I just love the name. Super catchy and also flows off my tongue like a script from Star Wars, which kind of makes me giggle. You can come to the "Cafe" portion of the Catmosphere and simply buy a coffee or snack and sit in the cafe, read, play a board game, chill or hang out. I think they are getting their footing regarding the F&B portion of their offerings, but for now there is not anything exceptionally noteworthy in this department. But the coffee we ordered was freshly brewed and hot. Coming to cafe is free, just buy some food and beverage item. It will cost you $12 to go inside the actual "Catmosphere." $12.50 when booked on-line to include the tax charge of a credit card. After securing a spot on-line for me and my parents to visit one random Wednesday afternoon a few weeks ago, we enter the two door security system to ensure no felines get out. We are verbally presented with a few ground rules before we go in from staff. Now, like all animal cafes, one is hit with the smell of cats immediately upon entering. No escaping that with between 18-25 cats possibly around on any given day. But the room itself you can tell is cleaned and these cats are clearly cared for as exemplified in the bounty of cats who are happily lounging, prancing and playing about. They disguise the liter boxes behind their couches, so I barely know they are there. The room is fun. The owner Jade and the employee Storm (student from ISU) are here on this day and they seem happy we are here. Jade is manning the cafe part and Storm is helping engage kitties and patrons in the actual Catmosphere. These two woman clearly have a love of animals and want to place these cats in good homes. And quite honestly, with like 160+ adoptions in their short 9 or 10 months of being open, they are doing an excellent job. There are photos on their Instagram feed and also in the cafe showing all the happy cats with their new humans. This spot allows you to really get to understand and see a cats personality. I would strongly suggest making a reservation on their website, for they limit the number of people that can be inside the Catmosphere at any time. A nice woman and her daughter were turned away to a later time slot when we were there checking in because all the bookings were sold out for the 2pm hour that day. It was a Wednesday, not even a busy weekend. Their website also posts the other fun things they are doing here like "Yoga with Cats for Kids," "College Study Sessions," and "Adults Only time." They get creative marketing points for making opportunities for people to engage with cats and cats to engage with humans, which makes cats more easily adoptable once they are use to being around people. It is such a nice space with lots of seating and even an TV area for kids. Lots of cat toys about to interact and play. The best $12 you can spend for an hour to relax and lower your blood pressure by simply being around, petting and playing with cats. Now sure, the ultimate goal is to place cats in good homes, but you can easily just come and be a visitor, not an adopter. They have limited hours and are not open every day. I think they get new cats in on Mondays and Tuesdays. They pull cats from the shelter in Terre Haute and also other counties/communities surrounding the Vigo county area. What great partnerships to place cats! So I personally think Wednesday might be the best day to visit, but that is just my opinion. They sell cat related stuff in their little shop area and also have a frequent visitor punch card (with every 9 visits, get the 10th visit free....the 9th Life Loyalty program...witty!). The Catmosphere is checking every marketing box in my head....F&B, creative selling point, open space, hospitality, frequent shopper card, kind staff. I am on a plane as I type headed back to Terre Haute to see my folks. I have already secured our second visit to the Catmosphere tomorrow because my parents want to find their forever furry friend and this seems like the perfect venue to make that possibly happen.
