Broad Ripple Village. It's an unique neighborhood of Indy, on the far northside of the city. Where…read morethere are businesses based out of bungalows, the Monon trail runs through it, and people venture down on the weekends to frequent the boutiques and local restaurants (La Piedad, Bazbeaux, Flatwater, etc). Broad Ripple Village is going through the same changes that other neighborhoods are seeing (luxury apartment complexes, shuttering of small businesses, raising of rents forcing businesses out of mixed-use space). Over the past two years we've lived here, I've been frequenting nearly all of the places here. Except Filigree. Until now. Filigree Bakery- off Carrollton Avenue, adjacent to Fresh Thyme Market and where there used to be a Lou Malnati's. The word Filigree itself refers to the intricate metalwork used in jewerly, the lace-like patterns of gold and silver one might see in Indian jewerly. Small but intricate. The feeling of warmth out of something tiny. The space is small, but the filling in the macarons were not. I got a 6-pack of macarons- picking out two Pistachio (natural bias), strawberry, strawberry with lime, and other some others. The amount of filling in the macarons was more than I would get at other places. So definitely very filling. I'm not a macaron connoisseur. Suffice to say, I liked it. The shop was nice. We need businesses like this in BR.

It is small, but the magic and atmosphere are just as big as the Carmel location! I got my usual pick 2 combo of the chicken salad sandwich and the tomato soup. We each got our own pot of tea. I do miss the larger pots they had a couple years ago, but the smaller pot is good for one person. I finished off my meal with the earl's court cake! It's my favorite and always tastes good later on too! And of course service was phenomenal! Our server was so lovely!

I think this shop could not be cuter. But, it could be bigger…read more My mom and I were in town for a girl's trip with my baby daughter and I was told about this spot by a local who recommended it and said it would surely be cute for the holidays but that the food was not great, "you go for the ambiance". That could not be more true. We both did Pick Two: I got a chicken salad sandwich and my mother got a turkey and cheese both with the soup of the day which was butternut squash. Soup was OK, sandwiches were OK. I got a side of chips (not made in-house) for $3. My daughter was upset when we arrived bc she was napping in the car and she proceeded to cry for about the first 10 minutes so, I walked around with her to calm her before I sat down since it's so cramped to try not to disturb everyone else. She was not happy the entire time so we were trying to calm her and feed her. Cake slices and cheesecake are $17-20 each. They're large but other reviews say dry and taste old. That's pricey. We skipped dessert at those prices based on the quality of the rest of our meal... I got an $8 peppermint mocha which was good but, served in the smallest teacup imaginable. It's extremely small inside. Like, uncomfortable. Granted, I had a lot of items with my baby and her and we were seated at a table for two with her in my lap but it was close quarters and the waitresses were squeezing between the chairs to walk around. They have about 6 tables inside with a small event private room in back. Our waitress was kind but, the manager or owner was off-putting. She went to every single table seated except ours to ask how their meal was and experience and, when time to pay, she wanted to personally ring me up to ensure we left in a hurry. I get it, some places are not meant for babies, but, since it's billed specifically to kids, I thought this was. Nope, I was wrong. (She's 19 months - so, too young for this bougie of an establishment clearly) I would not come back at all unless it was for my, older daughter to have a birthday cake experience and get a couple cute pics. As far as instagram-worthy goes, they know what they're doing. As far as quality of food. It's like a 2.5 stars. I wish we'd waited and walked into the larger one in Carmel and just shopped and got some cookies to go!

While I was initially bummed to find out they didn't have an always-open storefront (or perhaps not yet ), I knew that when the chance arose for a cake or cupcake order, I'd want to order directly from Cretia Cakes. In hosting family and friends recently, this was the perfect opportunity. I ordered three dozen cupcakes: caramel cupcakes with caramel flavored buttercream (some they also added caramel drizzle on) and coconut with coconut buttercream. Incredibly moist and delicious! Some cupcakes it feels the icing is the star while the cake is just average, but I truly enjoy the balance of both and I believe Cretia's offers this. The team was careful to verify my order to ensure it was right and even followed up further to ensure they followed all of my details correctly. Pro tip -- 1) Cretia has cake and much more! I also ordered three pans of yeast rolls which were so scrumptious and perfect with the rest of our dinner. 2) Be sure to check their website and social media for specials and deals. I missed the deadline for mine so don't miss out like me! Highly recommend Cretia Cakes for your next gathering -- big or small. Thanks Cretia & Team!

Someone who's got what you need, when you need it. You know, like when you're in high school and you accidentally forgot to brush your teeth... or maybe you went a little too hard on the onions at lunch right before English Lit with that really cute girl you wanted to talk to. But you knew you could count on your friend with the good gum to have your back. That's a great plug. Allow me to introduce you to my new baked-goods plug: Bake Sale Indy. Lately, I've been irrationally frustrated by baked-goods vendors I see on Instagram, only to discover they're open from 10:15 AM to 12:07 PM on the second Thursday of the fourth month when the sun is red and a one-eyed cat meows twice. I'm not out here looking for Diagon Alley--I just want a chocolate croissant that doesn't look pre-packaged. Bake Sale Indy, however, is open Wednesday through Sunday from 8am-2pm, which already puts them in elite territory. I had heard about it but finally stopped in on my way to an appointment off Allisonville Road. Everything looked incredible, but once I saw "caramel latte danish," nothing else mattered in the world. The flaky, buttery layers were perfectly complemented by the creamy filling and mocha balls on top--rich without being heavy, indulgent without being over the top. One of those pastries that makes you stop mid-bite and reassess your priorities. I'm not gonna lie--I almost didn't want to leave a review because I kind of wanted to keep this place to myself. But alas... everyone deserves a good plug.

Best way to start your morning is knowing you have an order of sweets to pick up. Forgot to take a pic of what I received. Variety of donuts and one chocolate croissant. They were a hit! I should've warmed mine up for a few seconds but it was still soft either way. Walked in about 7:20 and I assume the workers have to be there early to set up, but a smile or a good morning really does go a long way in customer service. It was quiet and a customer was leaving as I walked in. It seemed calm and inviting but felt like I was bothering the worker by walking in. Either way the donuts were good and they have a variety of more options on their menu that I would love to try sometime in the future.
