    Hands down - this is MY favorite coffee in the north side of Indianapolis! I have stopped visiting other coffee shops in Carmel because of Eli! He is the friendliest person, and so are the employees at Orwell (you don't have to be a member, I'm not) I've had his latte and matcha and nothing has disappointed me. I love that he uses homemade syrups, organic syrups not the sugary torani kind. The coffee is always smooth!

    **from 4 months ago** initially, i was confused when pulling up to this place because i didn't know it was inside a gym haha felt a little weird going into the gym for some drinks but everyone was nice, chill, super sweet. got a strawberry matcha and a mocha. both were yum but i preferred the mocha over the matcha. the mocha had a strong flavor while being very balanced still, whereas the matcha was kind of weak in flavor IMO. overall, it was a good experience and i would come back. i also like that they don't charge extra for milk substitutions :)

    Amazing little coffee spot at a gym lobby! So random! This place was highly recommended to us by someone who frequents the gym (Ozwell is the name if I remember correctly), and it did not disappoint. We came on Saturday morning and there was a line, but they were efficient. All drinks are $7 all in, not a lot to choose from but all the ingredients they use are clean and natural which is a plus. I opted for a banana bread matcha which was absolutely fantastic, smooth velvety texture, the menu says they use ceremonial grade matcha and it tastes true to that. My partner picked blackwood latte which was very good as well, subtly sweet and pleasantly coffee forward flavor. Baristas can make something off menu too, for example they could make banana bread latte for you. All in all, I didn't expect much from a tiny coffee spot at a gym lobby but it sure did deliver. Go try it now! P.S. there is no sitting space except one leather couch that holds up to 3 people, so you won't come here to chill or get some work done on a laptop, something to keep in mind.

    This is my third experience here. Every time it's been better and better…read more First two times I came in for just one or two pieces of pastry. This third time I was picking up 18 pastries - 3 different types- all delicious and superbly baked AND a cake. WOW! The cake was amazingly beautiful! delicious and decorated exquisitely with huge intricate frosting flowers and leaves. I'm very very happy with my order- they even helped me carry it to the car. This bakery made my special family party a huge success, everyone enjoyed the food and remarked on how delicious it looked and tasted. Thank you SO much for making the event extra special

    I don't even know where to begin... I came in for a pastry and left emotionally attached…read more Let's talk about the croissants. I had not one, but TWO -- and I regret absolutely nothing. The raspberry pistachio croissant? Oh. My. God. This thing had me in a chokehold. Flaky, buttery layers with the perfect balance of tart raspberry and rich pistachio. It wasn't just good -- it was write-home-about-it good. The kind of pastry that makes you pause mid-bite and question every other croissant you've ever had. The second was a croissant sandwich (I wish I could remember the name!), but the way those flavors paired together? Let's just say it was a full culinary experience. Savory, balanced, indulgent -- you get the hint. Every bite just made sense. Now here's the part that really says something: I grew up on the East Coast where authentic French bakeries are everywhere and the cultural standard is high. I know a proper croissant. And this? This was better. Yes, I said it. We even had the chance to speak with the owner, who was incredibly warm and genuine. He checked in to make sure we enjoyed everything -- which we clearly did, considering we left with boxes to take home. This place isn't just a pastry shop. It's an experience. And trust me, it will be a topic of discussion in our house for days. Run. Don't walk.

The ladies serving the coffees were happy and attentive and took our drink orders while we waited for a table. When we got to our table we all ordered an array of dishes and everyone was happy. My personal favorite was the Pedersen, fresh flavors and good to share if you wanted to get other dishes. This is an absolute revisit spot for me!

We arrived around 9:30ish on a Sunday and it was less than half full, although it definitely filled up by the time we left an hour later. Host promptly took us to a table on the east/right side of the dining space that consisted of a booth along the wall-side and chairs on the interior. There is a menu and other info on the west/barside wall, murals and windows on the north and south side walls, but the east wall I faced was plain and had nothing to look at, so mildly annoying for when my wife left the table. Acoustics were OK, although it was noticeably louder at then end of our meal when it had filled up. Our server was good. She was prompt in tending to us and very pleasant. The food took a bit from order to table, although that seemed to be true for several of our neighboring tables that arrived before us as well. For those partaking of their self-serve refillable coffee, it probably provides an opportunity to enjoy the beverage. Menu as a European Bistro is quite different compared to many other brunch options in the area. My wife selected the Vegano Bowl ($15.95) and substituted Roasted Potatoes ($2) for the standard mixed greens. She liked the bowl, although she prefers the options at Flower Child and Garden Table. She didn't love her potatoes. I ordered the Del Piero Toast ($13.95) and also substituted the mixed greens for the potatoes, which I enjoyed. Only thing I didn't really care for was the cutting board it was served on as it was not as user-friendly to eat from as I would have liked. However, I would order the toast again, although I am interested to investigate other menu options first.
