Have not been to Cafe Patachou in years as we did not really enjoy what they had at the time. Came here for brunch today as they have a number of vegetarian and some vegan options (for those interested). We got the warm grain bowl, Cuban breakfast, and lemon ricotta waffles. All were delicious and my teens enjoyed their food. Amazingly got seated quickly for a Saturday mid morning. Our waitress was nice and checked on us a few times. Will be coming back. read more

We came here with a large group of about 18 and weren't able to all sit together but we did get two tables next to each other. Our waitress was super friendly and professional, and made conversation with us. She was a little forgetful with small things we had to ask for repeatedly but it was a super busy morning. We came at 9:30 on a Sunday. Love the coffee bar! Refills galore. The food was all very delicious. I got the lox toast and really enjoyed it! I got to try a piece of their waffle and it had a little hint of sweetness to it and just a little crunchy. Perfection! The glasses on our table when we first sat down I thought were dirty, but they were actually just incredibly scratched. For how cute the ambiance was (casual, yet had a slightly elevated feel) I would expect the glasses not to look nicer or at least be in a presentable condition. Overall despite these small things, I recommend making this one of your breakfast stops in the area. Food was really good! read more

We went for lunch and it was fairly busy but the service was fast and friendly. Ordered the chicken salad on sour dough and it was delicious. You must also try the brown butter chocolate chip cookie. It has a little salt and is just the right amount of softness and crunch. read more

For how popular this place is, the food was pretty disappointing. I had the Chilaquiles, and by the time the food got to us the tortilla chips were completely soggy. Also the added bacon was pretty sparse, especially since it was an upcharge - maybe the equivalent of one piece of bacon? My boyfriend had the Croissant French Toast. He said it was just ok, and had way too many pecans. For the price and the wait time I expected more. I doubt we will return to one any time soon. read more

I love Cafe Patachou, but I am not sure I would be returning to this location. It's crazy busy and parking is soo hard to find. The restaurant was packed by 10:45am Saturday morning, and the service was very slow. She was very sweet, but she was soo busy that there wasn't much she could do. The food took awhile to come out also, but once out, it tasted as good as usual. We all got broken egg sandwiches, and they were all delicious. If you have a girl's brunch day or a lot of time to spare, this location is the right one for you. The restaurant isn't very big, but they have some limited outside seating. I would still come back to Cafe Patachou, but I would most likely go to the other Carmel location. It's quieter over there and less crowded. read more

We had a bit of a wait bc it was Sunday brunch and also, lots of people in town for Taylor Swift concert. Food was ok. Not bad. But nothing I am dying to go back for. I ordered the salmon bagel and it was nothing special. The fries were really good though and the bacon was crispy like a cracker, just like i request read more

The food was good, but our seats... not so much. When we were seated, we were seated in the spot right by the door, and unfortunately it was cold. We told the seater we did not want to sit there but she just replied with "OK." We saw a seat open in the corner and looked that way, but the seater just ignored us. Since we were right by the door people were coming in and waiting in the VERY small waiting area right next to us. A little kid came over and started pulling out the empty chair at our table, and another child was peeking their head over the waiting area wall watching us eat. All in all, this seat should not exist and the seaters need to respect their customers preferences AND put on smiles. read more

Our lunch at Patachou checked most of the boxes! I personally have never been fully understood the Patachou obsession but, man this place is always PACKED! We had to wait 20ish minutes to get in at 1PM on a Friday. My favorite part of every visit is the drip coffee station. The restaurant itself is super clean and has perfect brunch vibes. 4/5 starts only because this place costs at least 20-30% more than other brunch spots nearby. A salad + an omelet + 1 drip coffee out to ~$50. read more

Delicious! Had the chicken salad, delicious pomegranate green tea was also great!! Will be back again!

It's as perfect as ever here. The salmon is wild caught and sustainable, they have amazing, local GF bread as a bread option, they take allergies super seriously, and the brownie is our favorite of all time. Every dish is incredible and the takeout food is always ready quickly. This is definitely one of our go-to spots, as it's clear that fresh ingredients take precedent. I love the chicken salad, turkey sandwich, and Cuban bowl the most. ILY, Patachou! read more

Enjoyed our brunch here! Good Friday so we weren't sure about a wait but we were seated right away. Our server was friendly and just the right amount of chatty. Outdoor patio was bright and warm, perfect for summer weather around the corner. Got the west coast wrap (added chicken) and the turkey club. Wrap was great, way bigger than I expected. Fresh fruit was warm which I wasn't expecting but still delicious. Club was also good, there was an odd piece of plastic mixed in with the turkey (?) but sometimes those things happen with deli meat. Turkey chili was also great. Good place to stop if you're looking for a bite near clay terrace. read more

A little on the fence here- my omelette was very good, the eggs were light and fluffy and highlighted the fillings. The potatoes however, were not good- undercooked and hard to chew. Put together, it was an average meal. Prices were reasonable and service was OK. I'll probably give them another shot. read more

The magic is gone. Private equity kills another great thing... Since being taken over by private equity firm Hargett Hunter, the menu has been gutted, the experience dulled, and quality has flatlined. My wife and I went to breakfast this morning at 9:00. About half the tables were open, with many of the occupied four tops seated with parties of two. There was no crowd, no enthusiasm, and certainly none of the magic that has been the signature of Patachou since 1989. Two mediocre meals and two cups of coffee was just over $40 before the tip. Why has oatmeal been taken off the menu? When asked about the missing ricotta eggs, the server said that they could get me Siracha for any of their omlets. It's a wonder they don't just throw a crusty bottle of Tabasco on the table and be done with it. So, one more fabulous restaurant dies at the hands of accountants and greedy business. I am surprised that Martha let this happen. I listened to her speak about the great grass roots renaissance of the Indy food scene at the Splendid Table podcast recording at the Atheneum a few months ago, but didn't know I was listening to a eulogy. read more

Patachou is a top 3 breakfast spot for me. Anytime I'm in Indiana I make a point to go there. I've been to 4of the locations and every time the food and experience are what a restaurant should be! From the fresh juice to the code car, to the homemade bread I would strongly recommend! Also a nice touch is they offer non pork products! read more

The server was quick to the table and friendly. Having not been back to this place for 12+ years was disappointed in the food choices. our memory could have faltered but we both remember a French style cuisine with a decent wine available... not so anymore. My wife had the soup and salad, one good one over dressed to the point of sogginess. I had a burger and fries, the bun was top notch worthy of a better seasoned burger, the fries were commendable. Will not be returning as the atmosphere is pretty bleak. read more

Tried something new on the menu today other than the chicken salad or green goddess salad! We decided to go after church and hoped to be in and out rather quickly. We had about a 40 minute wait and then another 30 minutes to get our server to come over to place our order. Thankfully we didn't really have anywhere to be, but just note the longer wait times on Sunday afternoons. This time around I got the patawhich which is basically an elevated egg English muffin sandwich. I swapped out the Swiss cheese for the white cheddar. Delish! The pesto mayo isn't too overpowering how pesto can sometimes be. I do wish it came with a side or something but still overall very tasty read more

Love the Patachou! I've been coming to the restaurant for years but have never been to this location. We stopped by for a work lunch on a Thursday and got sat right away. Service was fantastic and the food is consistent. For as many times as I've visited other locations, I've never had the breakfast but it needs to happen one of these days. Until then, chicken salad ftw! I recently found out about the cinnamon toast and not to dramatic but it's life changing. read more

Great brunch spot in Indianapolis. Located in the outdoor walking mall so plenty of parking.

I went with arugula on the side to complement it but there's fry and chip options too. read more

When I think of quintessential local Indy meals, my mind always lands on the Cafe Patachou omelette. It's a large omelette that comes with a side of arugula and toast. And because this is Cafe Patachou, if you order anything other than their cinnamon toast, you're missing out. Whenever I'm feeling a little blah, I like to order the omelette. So the other day when I was feeling blah, that's just what I did. You can order breakfast all day here, fortunately. I got my meal to go, with a cup of hot black coffee. Perfection. My go-to omelette is the California Dreamer, which comes with avocado, white cheddar, sour cream and jalapeños. It's a bit spicy, but the sour cream is a nice contrast and cools things down a bit. The arugula comes with a vinaigrette, but I never use it, and instead just stab forkfuls of arugula and then forkfuls of omelette, and eat them together. Every other bite is cinnamon toast. This is the way. Ordering a to-go order at this Cafe Patachou location is easy. I did it online, and it was ready in less than 15 minutes. Parking is plentiful in the back near Dick's Sporting Goods. There are only a few parking spaces right in front of the restaurant, so parking in the back is your best bet. read more

Wow!!!!! Too bad that such a wonderful restaurant has changed so many things I. Their menu. No cream cheese - it's a breakfast restaurant. No Oatmeal either? Maybe I am missing something, but the only reason I would go back is for the tomato artichoke soup. So sad. read more

We LOVE coming to Patachou-- service is always excellent and food is always fresh and expertly prepared! I want to offer one critique-- my husband enjoys the cheeseburger-- well-- he did enjoy the cheeseburger when it was a single patty-- recently the cheeseburger evolved to a couple of smash burgers-- and in my husband's opinion-- the taste pales in comparison to the single burger version. He's tried the new version a couple of times and consistently says it is inferior to the previous version. Perhaps you're hearing feedback contrary to his-- but on his behalf want to let you know his opinion. Won't stop us coming in because we're loyal customers and love Patachou! read more

Our server was very good, no complaints there, but, ACK!! They don't have their straight-up turkey sandwich anymore! Now, you CAN modify the turkey club sandwich (turkey, herbed cream cheese, bacon, avocado, lettuce, mayo) which costs $16. No discount to remove the cream cheese, avocado and bacon which are pricey if purchased as a side. I got a different meal entirely, a broken yolk sandwich and it was just okay. If they eliminate their cinnamon toast I won't be back. read more

Patachou is a must visit any time I'm in Indy! I especially like the Clay Terrace location, as there's plenty of free parking and I love visiting with Alex. He is a gem! I typically order the Cuban breakfast with coffee, but this time I switched it up with the turkey club, a side of fries, and a passionfruit mimosa. It was absolutely delicious! The mimosa was the perfect balance of juice and bubbles. The turkey club was amazing. Unlike most club sandwiches, the slices of turkey were thick. The fries were well seasoned and excellent. I had a piece of cinnamon toast, and it was delicious. You really cannot go wrong at Patachou! read more

Located in Carmel this location has such a vibe with the aesthetic going on. I've not had an issue with wait times when going here as compared to the Butler/sobro location. If you are able, request to sit in Edgar's section as he's the best! I ordered the BLT on sourdough. Sandwiches come with chips but you can upgrade to fries. The BLT has this dijonaisse on it that slaps and I want on everything! The waffle grilled cheese is also a hit - it's bread not waffle in the sandwich but it is put in the waffle maker. It also comes with a touch of sugar on top- trust me it's delicious. read more

Another awesome trip and I even decided to try something besides an omelet! I have a bad habit of finding something that I like and then not expanding my horizons. Bloody Mary is always good from this location, spicy and savory, with a great rim! I also had a lavender mimosa which was light and perfect for summer. I had a side of crispy bacon which tasted awesome and was just the crunch I needed. For my main course I ended up getting the bagel and lox which is one of my favorite breakfasts! It tasted perfect and came with a green side salad. The service is always great and I love the set up at every location this one is fancy but approachable. You have outdoor and indoor seating options, check out the expresso if that's your jam, I'll be back soon! read more

So, here's the deal: Cafe Patachou is my go-to choice for breakfast. If you give me a choice of going to any restaurant for breakfast that's in my top 5 rankings, I'll pick Patachou every single time. Why? First, the service is stellar. We've never had bad or even slow service here, even post-Covid. Second, the quality of the food is very, very high. The menu, while not being overly crowded, is well curated. The pricing might be a little higher than your other favorite breakfast or lunch spots, but quality is what counts. Pro tip: If you happen to sit in the outside patio area, beware of the slanted slope of the concrete on the west side of the patio. I almost wiped out while carrying two coffees back from the coffee bar. read more

The last time I was at Cafe Patachou was 5 years ago. Today I am back in Carmel, Indiana and decided to return to have my favorite breakfast dish called Cuban Breakfast. It was as good as I remembered but the portion size is definitely much smaller. My friend ordered the French Toast which was cold, sugared toast - Please don't order it. Our server was Carla H, a very pleasant lady but service was a little slow even though there weren't many customers so early in the morning. I wish I could give 5 stars but because of the portion size and the really terrible French Toast, I can't. read more

Nothing beats breakfast food, and Cafe Patachou serves it piping hot (unless you order a cold dish). A problem I have with this place is the name. Every time I recommend Cafe Patachou to someone, they always think I'm sneezing and respond with "bless you." Other than that, a classy breakfast joint. read more

I went in with my bf and our experience was interesting haha. Service isn't that great here today since they were super busy I ordered a matcha latte, initially wanted it cold but they made it hot already. Our cookie was a brown butter cookie & they made it warm, that alone tasted like heaven. It was one of the best cookies I've ever had! Oatmeal: I've had their oatmeal in the past and it's been pretty decent. There's nothing extravagant with their oatmeal, it's a soft and nice well balanced oatmeal consistency. Waffle grilled cheese wasn't good. It was too salty and it didn't taste right to us. Umm, we ate maybe 1/3 of it and didn't finish the rest. Latte : 8/10 Cookie : 10/10 Oatmeal : 8/10 Grilled cheese: 6/10. I like their service usually, but the day I went in just was busy. It's okay tho. The food was still good and enjoyable except the waffle. read more

There are times where people give you exactly what you didn't know you needed! I wanted to split the omelette with a friend of mind and they gave us two different plates. If that wasn't good enough I feel they supplemented the sides and gave us more than what we would have had if it all came in one plate! We got the Apple cider donut and pumpkin loaf and both were perfectly moist. The pumpkin loaf was more dense and had a few seeds on the top for a delicious crunch! Our server was attentive and helpful. There were times other servers were even trying to help us too! The place was very bright and clean and it's in an area where there is lots to do after a meal! read more

I remember coming here for fancy meals when I was growing up, and it was so awesome to come back while visiting Indy. The vibe is awesome -- modern and clean and French with tons of airy windows. There's a patio for when the weather is nice. There's always a wait, it seems like, but it's worth it (and maybe you can squeeze in at the bar!). Breakfast all day, and some tasty lunch options as well. A self service coffee bar. I think everything I've eaten here is delicious. The broken yolk sandwiches are perfection. The omelets are perfectly cooked without any browning on the outside. They used to make duck fat fries but we were super excited to discover that they're vegetarian now -- and still just as delicious! There's plenty of free parking at Clay Terrace. Absolutely give this place a try. read more

Cafe Patachou, specially this location, is always a go-to for me! Weekends tend to be quite busy, but I never feel that I've had to waste more than 10-15 minutes for an open table. The staff is consistently friendly and very hospitable, and the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful (A perfect photo op). Being a coffee lover, Cafe Patachou serves some of my favorite and rotates between specialty flavors. My absolute favorite are the blueberry and chocolate raspberry. It's a little on the pricy side, but this has never stopped me from being a regular customer! I love the avocado broken yolk sandwich, and their fries are the absolute best!
