We love Patachou, Martha Hoover's amazing Indy creation! Consistency is their middle name--no matter the location, the food is always spot on. I have a couple go to's...if its breakfast I usually go for the omelet of the day or the "The Overachiever" with bacon, white cheddar, sour cream, horseradish and then I add potatoes. Cinnamon toast & fruit are musts! If it's time for lunch, I typically get the chicken salad sandwich on a croissant, with chips and fruit. YUM. The staff is always great, service is quick, and each location has unique decor based on the neighborhood. Something about each Patachou gives off a fresh and bright vibe. Lots of natural light - very cafe like! There's also parking on the lot but you may have to park a few doors down depending on the day. No big deal. If you see a Patachou, go! read more

Did a team breakfast here for 6. Wow. Best breakfast I've had in a long time. Now I see why there are 5 of these. My omelette was delicious!!! Spinach, feta, and avocado. Side arugula was good. I also got a caramel latte afterward. Service was spot on, even though they were busy. Wait staff was hustling like pre-Covid days. Will definitely return my next time in town. read more

I love cafe patachou every time. The food is always great, the service is enjoyable and the coffee is delicious. Every location is consistently busy and it's a great spot to eat alone, with friends, or colleagues. My favorite is the Phat Rabbit sandwich add bacon and a large coffee. I've tried many menu items and you really can't go wrong. read more

Food: Very good! Seasoning the black beans in the Cuban breakfast helped add more flavor. Ask for the chorizo and the egg over easy. Both pack a punch for taste. Always ask for a side of hot sauce which really is the final touch for this dish. The toast was *chef's kiss*. It came out warm, which is the game changer. The coffee flavor of the day was caramel and it was so yummy. Love the access to a self-serve coffee bar. Service: Impeccable. Attentive without feeling like the server is eating with you. She was patient with me as I did some work but I never had to "wait too long" before I saw her again. Ambiance: Good and very cafe like. Loved the wall full of windows because it made the space bright and airy. I like this location for the outdoor seating too! read more

If someone is visiting Indy, I always recommend Cafe Patachou for breakfast or lunch. In my opinion, it is an Indianapolis staple. All locations are a bit unique as far as the interior, but all charming in their own way. I love the Cuban bowl, cinnamon toast and the chicken salad. All the ingredients are fresh, and you can tell they source quality ingredients. I also love their coffee bar, it's self serve and the banana nut coffee is one of my favorites!! Today we ate brunch, and there is usually a wait at this location. The wait is never too long, usually only 20 minutes or less and you get a text notification when the table is ready. I love this, as you can see what spot in line you are while waiting. Service was friendly and quick! I love that the physical menus are back as well!! read more

Arrived on a busy Saturday for an excellent brunch. Joined a 10 minute waitlist upon arrival and enjoyed a hot cup of coffee as we waited to be seated. Although the restaurant was extremely busy and overly crowded, the service was amazing. The waitress was knowledgeable, timely and had a great personality; she constantly checked on us. The restaurant has plenty of parking within walking distance, next to a great shopping strip. Although the tables are close together, it allows for lots of seating with a nice family vibe. read more

Happily eating my way through Cafe Patachou's menu! This time I tried the Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup, which came HIGHLY recommended from all my friends. The soup was prefect. The grilled cheese was delicious, with a lot of gooey cheese inside. Loved the addition of a sprinkle of sugar on top. Sodas here are served by the can, over pebble ice. Service is always welcoming. If going for lunch, they are usually full, so except a short wait. read more

I was in a Cafe Patachou "mood" today. I was craving healthy comfort food. The self-serve coffee bar was perfect for me today. There's always Cafe Patachou House and Decaf plus one (rotating) specialty coffee. Today was caramel and it was delicious and tasted like liquid comfort food. Service is always good even for a party of one (which I find is not always the case.) Is there ambiance? It's a good place to have a conversation (when you're not dining alone) because you're not talking over loud music. Today, I chose a "make your own" omlette with spinach, white cheddar and bacon. I exchanged fresh fruit (+$3 upcharge). I'm worth it; if I want it. Cafe Patachou is a restaurant I don't frequent regularly. When I'm in the mood, I'm glad it's here! Now to complete the experience, I'll buy chocolate at DeBrands for later and stroll through new non-fiction at Barnes & Noble. They're in the same outlot of buildings across from Keystone Fashion Mall. read more

I've been to all of the other Patachou locations except for this one, so I had to cross it off my list! I love coming to Cafe Patachou when I want a quick, healthy, and filling meal that won't break the bank. I came for a quick brunch with my sister. For a Monday afternoon, it was pretty busy but that didn't stop the employees from providing excellent service. I ordered my usual Phat Rabbit sandwich but decided to add a cup of tomato soup as a side dish. Per usual, the sandwich was fresh and delicious. The tomato soup was hot and well-seasoned topped with croutons and fresh parmesan. My sister ordered omelette of the day and a hot chocolate. The omelette looked light and fluffy and was generously portioned. The hot chocolate was so rich and decadent; it was perfect for the rainy weather outside. read more

I am easily swayed by photos of delicious food. I saw a photo of the cinnamon sugar scone on Cafe Patachou's Instagram feed, and I immediately put "Get scone at Cafe Patachou" on my list of things to do. I'm not even kidding. (This Type A+ overachiever doesn't lie about her precious to-do list.) Anyway, the reason why the scone went on my list is because the photo caption said that the scone was flavored with Cafe Patachou's famous cinnamon toast blend. This restaurant's cinnamon toast is some of my favorite food in Indiana, so it was obvious that I needed to get one of these scones ASAP. Straight out of the bakery case, the scone was fine. My scone was a little cold, and a cold scone is a scone that should be scorned. However, if you heat the scone up a bit, it becomes 100 times better. I ate half of my scone cold, then put the other half on my car's dashboard on a 95-degree day while I went shopping at nearby Old Navy for half an hour. When I came back to finish my scone, it was the perfect warm temperature and tasted even better. Who knew that a dashboard-heated scone would taste so good? The sun and the passage of time is awesome. When I visited on a weekday afternoon, the restaurant was bustling with people. I'm pretty sure every table inside was occupied, and a few of the tables on the outdoor patio were occupied, too. The servers were flying around, extremely busy, but they still made time to get me my scone to go, with a smile. read more

Came in on a Friday for brunch and I definitely recommend if you find yourself in Carmel, Indiana! No wait time for us, we got seated immediately. There's a variety of delicious options you'd expect to see on a brunch menu. I tried one of their omelets, the Double Major. It's filled with yummy chorizo, cheesy cheddar, avocado, and served with salsa on the side. For extra spice, they have sriracha! The omelette entre comes with your choice of mild sourdough bread, vegan multigrain, or whole wheat toast... I had a sweet tooth, so I opted for "cinnamon toast" on the sourdough bread... heaven. The other dishes did not disappoint. No complaints from the rest of the gang! Service was great! The hostess was very friendly and so was our waitress :) read more

Michael our server he was wonderful GREAT JOB! Atmosphere was beautiful However, very disappointed in how they have raised prices & made the portions so small I always get the cobb salad it was $16 & looked like a small side salad It usually huge!!! Probably will not go back Which is sad because it was a place I go to on a regular basis read more

Been a while since we've been to this Patachou location. They were busy but we got a table for 2 quickly. It was kinda loud inside. They don't have enough soft surfaces to absorb sound. I got a Broken Yolk Sandwich with over med eggs. I was super happy how the egg came out. The white was done and the yellow still soft. Sandwich was great minus one piece of bread. Husband got BYOO with fruit. He was very happy with the Omelette. Service was good and out teas were kept filled. read more

This is the basic white girl Bonefish vibe but brunch! Well lite enjoyable space, outdoor seating, a lot of variety make for easy eating. Prices and portion sizes have a complicated relationship. I somehow blew into thirty bucks for a Bloody Mary and Cuban Breakfast, both tasty but the cocktail was ninety percent ice and the bowl of egg, avocado, and tasty goodness a diet size. My friend and I enjoyed this location's easy going atmosphere, a lot of dining tables while being relaxing, staff seemed to be attentive for our stay, and coffee was addictive. The menu is massive, parking easy on site, and Keystone Fashion Mall nextdoor compliments the overall posh appeal. I personally go for The Garden Table first in Indy's morning eateries but both our daily grind put this cafe as the best meeting spot and emptying my wallet for a full enough belly makes a good Friday. read more

I am a fav fan of Patachou and order it to be delivered a ton but we decided to sit outside by the fashion mall and it was absolutely incredible. We sat outside and that felt super comfortable, I was worried about service being outside but honestly we had great service !! The cinnamon toast is my absolute go too, get it on sour dough bread and I pinky promise you won't regret it! Their granola is exceptional as well!! Can't wait to be back!! read more

We are moving to the area, and our realtor suggested this place. I'm vegetarian, and my partner- she is vegan. This a great spot for plant-based people. They have vegan/vegetarian options, and many can be made veggie friendly. We had the Phat Rabbit sandwich and the Vegan Omelette. I also ordered a small side of fresh fruit. Ambiance is warm and welcoming. There is the usual din of family chatter and people working in the kitchen. Black and white tiles for the floor, and tables bunched together. Some highlights 1. Pesto- absolutely the bomb. They sell this in jars. 2. My sandwich- so full and yet feels good 3. The salsa that comes with the vegan omelette. This is 5/5. You pay but you get quality. Great service, and we will come back. That's the benefit of being in a metro area- if you're plant based you will find a breakfast spot that doesn't treat you like an after thought. read more

Quality has obviously shifted since the sell off of the Patachou Group. We've ordered Chicken Salad Patachou twice and received a product of lesser quality chicken that has been mixed up to a paste vs chunk chicken. The bacon in the salad was rare to find and of lesser quality. No muffins now a sad single piece of cinnamon toast. Lentil soup discontinued. Consistency is off. A friend and I ate a Petit Chou a few months ago. Gave the waitstaff my tarragon allergy. Plate came out without a Swiss flag. Became ill after consuming my entree. It had tarragon in it. I was able to get home and take rescue medication. The entree item did not indicate this ingredient on the menu. I did follow up with an email. They assured me they would educate the chef. Since 1989 never had this occur. This would not have occurred on Hoover's watch. Sadly what was a 2-4 times a week breakfast or lunch is now why bother. This is so disappointing to see an established restaurant group go downhill so quickly. New diners will never know the high end fresh quality of what once was what this group was known for. I feel for the dedicated lovely waitstaff that had been working there for years. They know the quality isn't what it once was. I'll miss them as much as what was the best fresh food in the city. read more

Located in the strip mall next to the Fashion Mall this place is always packed. There is parking all around but you will often have to wait for a table. I never get to this place anymore because my hubs doesn't care for it. He says the value for the quantity is not good. I now agree with him. I'm not saying everything wasn't tasty but I'm super sad that the cinnamon toast isn't a bread option any longer. On the way there I was dreaming of the dark brown slather of cinnamon sugar that I would never do at home because I'd see how much butter and sugar was going into what I was eating...I don't know when they changed the menu but the toast is stand alone and is 5 bucks now. I got an end piece and it was hard and not dark brown from memory. The temperature may have been because they were holding onto it because they got hub's sandwich wrong. We waited a long time for our food and the waitress came to apologize that they made the sandwich on the wrong bread and were fixing it. I couldn't decide what I wanted so I ordered sides. Big mistake. As the photos show, not too much food. With tip and tax the bill was over 45 dollars! We both had water. I am torn between star ratings but I was unimpressed this time. read more

I really like Cafe Patachou. I've been here a number of time. A friend of mine ordered the California Dreamer - spicy egg based meal - with cinnamon toast on the side. I followed suit and now my problem is that it it so good, I cannot seem to want to order anything else. Last time I dined here, I promised myself that I would venture away from the dreamer. But when the time came to order, "I'll have the California Dreamer with cinnamon toast on the side." Next time... Next time, it will be different. Another fun thing I like is the coffee bar. I like their coffee, and it is self service. Just come in, grab a cup and start drinking. And, they do have outdoor seating available. read more

Beautiful brunch space with awesome people that take great care of you. They have so many yummy options. I had the BLT. It was crunchy, spicy and tasty. The chips were not my fave. They were too over done for me. Our server offered to swap them out but I was happy with my sandwich. It was very filling. My group all had omelettes no two were the same. They all enjoyed their choices. The coffee drinks were yummy...caramel coffee, oatmeal chai latte and the macchiato were all yummy. read more

Got a cup of fruit that ended up being $5 for a few berries and pineapple, but other than that it was a good, average meal. read more

First things first, I understand this place is well loved by many friends and I can see why. The decor is pleasant and it has a great brunch vibe. However... The reason for my low review is simply because I discovered random greens and a sliver of onion on the cinnamon sourdough toast (see pics). I assume its probably an unfortunate mistake so I will come back and update my review accordingly. The other sides and lattes we ordered were good. read more

I went to Cafe Patachou on Memorial Day after enjoying the Indy 500 the previous day, and I was surprised and thrilled to find it was open. The service was great, considering it was one of the few open restaurants I found. As always, Cafe Patachou has a great atmosphere; it also has a menu full of great options. I ordered the croissant French toast, and I can easily say it's one of the best French toast dishes you will find in Indy. The croissant has a perfect egg and cinnamon flavor, but to me, what really sets it apart is the addition of the pecans and powdered sugar. Even with all of the powdered sugar and the syrup, it is not too sweet. Five stars! Love this place! Ps. Yes, the fruit tasted as fresh as it looked. read more

We love Patachou- all locations are equally good. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and expected a very long wait but thankfully it wasn't that bad! We requested an outdoor table and they have several in their covered outdoor section. Highlights: mimosas, coffee, cinnamon toast (!!!) and really any breakfast item :) Server was super friendly and helpful with menu options (because we wanted to try something new). It can be a little on the pricey side but you are getting a quality meal with great service. read more

This is such a hot spot for brunch. Or breakfast. Or lunch. On any day. This location specifically gets very crowded on holidays or days where Butler has an event and lots of parents are in town- graduation, parents weekend etc. They have the best fresh food options and SUCH good coffee. Seriously try the coffee. I had a macchiato last visit and I smiled the whole time I drank it. On my most recent visit I tried the smoked salmon bagel and it was delicious and messy but I didn't even mind that. Another honorable mention is the avocado toast. There is something for everyone at this place. The service is great and it's super clean! read more
