I had difficulty debating which tea I wanted to try and ordered two. Fortunately, the first one was sooooo delicious that I drank it up fast and felt delighted and refreshed. Needless to say, I did not get a picture of the pineapple goodness that had strawberry popping bobas, but I know that combination is . With my second tea, I asked the owner to get creative. She created a honeydew with green apple masterpiece . If you're in the mood for some refreshing Boba teas, definitely head to Plaza Urbana in the extended food court to try some delicious Ann's Boba Tea. Black-owned/woman-owned

I ate a sushi burrito in LA in like 2019, and then couldn't stop thinking about it for years…read more Little did I know, sushi burritos exist in Indy! My friend had been telling me about her favorite bubble tea spot for months, and when we finally went, I was so happy to see they also have custom poke and sushi burritos and delicious onigiri options. The inside is super cute and was very clean when we went. Service is quick and unfussy, so this would be a great option if you need to pick up a to go order, but it's also a nice spot to stop for a quick lunch break. It's cozy and quiet so could even be a good place to work or study if you're looking off the beaten path on Mass Ave. Aside from the onigiri, most of the food is totally custom and made to order, so you can really get whatever you want. You order on a paper menu like at a sushi restaurant, picking exactly what you like--and honestly, you can go wild here. For the base price of $11.50 (for burritos and bowls), you pick your base, protein, up to two sauces, and then add as many of the mix-ins and toppings as you want. A steal, imo! There are several ways to make this vegetarian (I got tofu), and it could be gluten free, too, if you're careful about sauces. I ordered my burrito and a peach black tea with aloe jelly. Now I can't stop dreaming of the tea, either. Will be back asap. This is better than LA!

It was super fresh and filling! You order food by filling out a printed piece of paper at the center round table in the center of the restaurant. You check off what you'd like. If you just want a drink you can order at the counter. Service was quick! I liked the atmosphere! It felt cozy and intimate. There's not a whole lot of seating, but the restaurant is also on the smaller side. Everything is packaged to be able to take to go though!

This location was not on Yelp and it wasn't on their website. So I believe it's the newest Pana Donuts location in Indianapolis. I've visited almost all of the Pana Donuts around Indy, and there is no question: Pana Donuts are the best donuts in Indianapolis. They are old-school, no-nonsense donuts. If you've been to Southern California, the donut capital of the world, and have eaten a donut from one of the several thousand independent donut shops, then these are them. Soft, not overly glazed or frosted or sweet. Just perfect. My standard order at any Pana is a glazed twist. These guys do the glazed twist right. Each bite is soft and melts in your mouth. So if you're wondering what kind of donut to get at Pana: get the glazed twist. If you're getting more than one donut (and you should), their old fashioned donuts, buttermilk donuts and blueberry cake donuts are also astronomically great. I don't usually get anything to drink at Pana, but I decided to try the chai, because the woman behind the counter recommended it. I can see why she recommended it! The hot chai at Pana is amazing -- nicely spiced, creamy and sweet. When I'm not drinking a black coffee, my go-to is a chai, and this one at Pana was wonderful. This Pana Donuts has a drive-thru! They also have a claw machine inside, and a lot of seating with lots of natural light coming in through skylights.

5 Stars - Korean Fried Chicken, Boba, and a Surprise Lesson About Crystal Pearls…read more This was my second visit, and I was so excited to dig in that I completely forgot to take photos before eating. By the time I remembered, I had already finished most of the chicken and drank over half of my matcha milk tea! On my first visit, I tried the taro milk tea and loved it. This time, I ordered a matcha milk tea with bubbles at 30% sugar, along with a pineapple mojito (non-alcoholic) with crystal pearls. The matcha was smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet. The 30% sugar level was perfect for letting the matcha flavor shine. The pineapple mojito was refreshing, light, and sparkling. It was also my first experience trying crystal pearls. My initial reaction was that I didn't like them because they're smaller and firmer than traditional boba pearls. They almost reminded me of boba that wasn't cooked quite long enough. But the more I drank, the more I appreciated them. In a cold, sparkling drink, they actually work really well. The pearls add a little surprise after each sip and give you something to chew, making the drink last longer and feel more interactive. Now for the star of the show: the Korean fried chicken. As someone who is mostly pescatarian, I've been wanting to try Korean fried chicken for a while, and this was a great introduction. I ordered the 10-piece wings with sauces on the side, choosing Soy Garlic and Secret Spicy. The wings were huge, meaty, and incredibly crispy. The Soy Garlic had that perfect balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors. The Secret Spicy wasn't particularly spicy to me. I'd probably rename it Secret Sweet because that's the flavor profile that stood out most. What really impressed me was how well the chicken reheated. A quick trip through the air fryer made it even crispier than when I first brought it home. That's a rare quality in takeout fried chicken. If you're looking for a place that offers both excellent drinks and seriously satisfying Korean fried chicken, this spot is worth a visit. Whether you're a boba enthusiast, a fried chicken lover, or someone like me who enjoys trying new flavors and textures, you'll likely find something that keeps you coming back. I know I'll be back to work my way through more of the menu.

Pros: consistency, great pho, great spring rolls. AMAZING chili oil - I bought the to go version to take home and it's the spiciest chili oil I've ever had at a pho place (which is a big deal to me!) Con: order delivery lately and their drinks aren't ready by the time I'm picking up. That's it! Restaurant is clean, service is good. No reason to go into detail when things are pretty straightforward.

Initially when walking in, no one was dining in. I was going to place my order to go, but decided to dine in. It was pretty quiet, clean and open. It was almost closing time and a few employees were cleaning. It smelled so clean throughout; making for an even better dining experience. The service was great! I didn't have to wait long at all before my bowl was coming out. I went with beef and brisket pho. The condiments were fresh. The sauces were full. Before adding any sauces, I wanted to try the broth by itself. And when I did, that's when I knew that Pho 21 has secured me as a customer. I truly didn't have to add any sauces, but what is pho if I didn't add some razzle dazzle. I left with my tastebuds satisfied and lips with a slight sizzle. Ha! After all, if your lips don't sizzle, did you really have Pho? Ha!

Dear reader, Good…read moreVibes Cafe in Indianapolis was a thoroughly pleasant stop and quite easy to enjoy. It is right downtown in a cool location on the second floor of a building, with a restaurant below, which gives it a slightly tucked-away charm. Inside, there is tons of seating and space, so it feels relaxed and inviting rather than cramped. The staff was so nice, which always makes a coffee stop feel more welcoming. I really liked my iced mocha, and they also had a nice variety of other drinks and pastries on offer. Overall, a lovely little cafe and one I would happily visit again.
