I believe it's the only gluten free and dairy free option, but it's a good one. (If you're only gluten free, you have more choices!) The staff at the Garage location were super friendly to me and my mini BFF when we visited. And for less than $5 we got a hearty cookie to split. I'll look forward to my next one!

GREAT PLACE TO GRAB A BAKED GOOD AT THE GARAGE FOOD HALL IN INDY…read more======================================================= My husband bought me a chocolate chip cookie from 4 Birds Bakery after we had lunch inside the Garage Food Hall. I was only going to take a little bite, but I could not stop. It was really good and went really well with the Old Fashioned I was drinking. I was a happy camper.

This is a nice new spot that is an up and coming local business. They shop is a bit difficult to…read morefind at first because there is not a sign out front or any other making. It smells awesome as soon as you walk in. They specialized in fresh fruit cups/bowls. I must admit that the fruit is picturesque. It looks and tastes very fresh. I opted to get a bowl of my favorite fruit; pineapple, kiwi, blackberries, strawberries, ohhh my. I top it off with some chamoy. It was delicious. It sure beats those pre made bowls from the grocery store. And a great alternative to fast food. They really pack the fruit in the cups and bowls. You get your money's worth. I went there during the peak time so I had a bit of a wait. But they have jams playing throughout the shop while you wait. The owner was awesome. She was very, humble, helpful, and friendly. She told me about the shops future plans, which included smoothies (probably October) and a veggie bar. I highly recommend getting here early because they do not have an infinite supply of daily fresh fruit and have been known to run out of some of the popular fruits before closing time. You really need to check this place out. And I am not seeing if you happen to pass by it. This is a shop that you can make a special trip for. I am glad that I was able to make it to the shop and look forward to coming back real soon.

This place is by far one of the most unique businesses I've been to. It's a market, so you can buy produce and you can also create your own fruit cups and fruit bowls, they have smoothies and smoothie bowls that you can top with fruit as well. I ordred their Summersicle Smoothie and a fruit cup, everything was perfect. They even pack the inside of the lid of your fruit up with more fruit. I love a place that makes sure you are truly getting what you paid for! I love visiting places like this. Coming here literally made my day

Ms. B's makes it so easy to shop for supplies to prepare all your favorite candies, cut-out…read morecookies, cakes, and more. This is the spot I go to for hard to find candy or baking ingredients or supplies. I've often asked questions and the staff is not only friendly but knowledgeable. It's nice having pros to confirm or find out how to use a product. You can find fun candy molds, packaging boxes, holiday boxes, many flavors of chocolate, fruit filling, cool baking pans, flavorings and a wall of unique cookie cutters and really so much more. Ms. B's also prints on edible paper but be sure to bring a high quality image. There are many interesting products here but to many to list. Just know they are friendly, helpful and have an abundance of knowledge to share. If you're to far away, give them a call and they will ship to you. Stop in and browse and get the baking bug.

They had cookie cutters, sprinkles, gel food coloring, aprons, utensils you name it. Today they had treats out that you could try since it was the holiday open house. They were all good! They even gave you a nice recipe book with all the recipes that they had out today.

If you love the movie "Chocolat" you will absolutely adore this tiny gem of a shop. Located in the…read morearts district of Carmel, it fits right in with the local arts in a more refined and edible way. I came here while in mourning of my mother to seek some chocolate comfort and surely found it to no surprise. The high caliber of excellence achieved in the making of her dark chocolate almonds has not been surpassed in Indianapolis. A true superfood with such high antioxidant count and it leaves your body feeling blissful after eating it. This is a true showcase of just how wonderful true chocolate is capable of being.

Cute store, tucked away off the main road. It's very tiny with a few displays of very fancy and…read morepretty looking chocolate. It's pricey so I was unsure about spending so much on chocolate I've never heard reviews about. I'd like to go back and try some of the signature sweets though. I did get an 88% chocolate bar hoping it was like the high percentage bars I used to get in Japan, it was not. The chocolate melts very slowly, you almost have to force it with pressure since the heat in your mouth doesn't seem to trigger it. It has a nice faint sweetness at the front of your tongue but once it hits the back all you sense it overwhelming bitter and an almost sour feeling. The aftertaste is pleasant though. Yes, I know it's supposed to be bitter but I've had others that were distinct but not overpowering in bitterness. I'll continue my search for the elusive high percentage chocolate bars like I've had in the past.

Nature's Tea Company is an Indianapolis-based tea company started by Kevin and Lisa Gross. As a…read morehuge lover of tea, I was excited to find Nature's Tea Company at this week's Statehouse Market in downtown Indy. They started brewing teas 30 years ago as a way to provide their children, family, and friends healthier options to soft drinks. That has turned into Nature's Tea Company. Nature's Tea has both bottled tea and loose-leaf tea options. I tried a $4 bottle of Hibiscus Sangria Tea today. It's not from concentrate, has no premixed powered tea, no artificial fruits, and no artificial ingredients. There are no preservatives or fillers added and no GMOs. Products are available at various locations in Indiana and Illinois per the website. Indy locations include their home base along with Cleo's Bodega and Georgetown Market. You can find Nature's Tea Company at farmer's markets. The person I met, I'll assume it was Kevin, was super friendly and even moved a display of tea so I could better access the options and see what they offered. Nature's Tea has black teas, chai teas, fruity teas, green teas, dessert teas, Oolong Tea, gift sets, wellness tea, RTD teas, and other product options. From what I read, Kevin is a chemist and it's clear that Nature's Tea really works to develop healthy tea options. I did find the label on my bottle a bit confusing - it says that there's 45 calories per serving and 1 serving per container, however, it also says a serving size is 1 oz. - it then has (16) in parentheses. I think it's pretty clear that one bottle is considered a serving, though the wording is a bit confusing. If you buy a 12-pack off their website or at their store, the price drops to $3 per bottle. It's certainly more than a soft drink, however, it's much more healthy and satisfying. Overall, this is a great discovery for this tea lover. I love supporting local and I love iced tea. There's no doubt I'll be back.

Found Natures Tea Company teas while attending the farmers market at Garfield Park. What a find!…read moreMultiple flavors to choose from and only 40 calories, minimal sugar and all organic natural ingredients. Some of the flavors I've tried are Mo Berry Cosmo, Mango Mojito, Waterpalm Rita and Hibiscus Sangria. They're $3 a bottle so not cheap like a soda but much better tasting and better for you. Check out their website and FB page for all the flavors and different products they carry. They also sell locally at several grocery stores. Enjoy!

Overall, the peanut butter is great, but the customer service needs some improvement.
