    Bubble Tea
    Deanna E.

    I decided to try HoiTea ToiTea at keystone at the crossing today. I got the caramel apple latte with Boba. I asked for half the sweetness and a substitute of oat milk. The girl at the register was so pleasant and happy to help. She gave me a little history about the company and was willing to answer any questions I had. The drink itself was sweet and delicious. The Boba tasted fresh, which was a delight. I was told they have some holiday drinks coming out and I'll surely be back.

    The almond vanilla coconut boba tea is absolutely delicious!!!!!!

    I enjoyed this establishment when it had a store front in Broad Ripple. The tea infused champagne was so so good!! I was sad to see them close but happy again when the reappearance at the Keystone Crossing Mall happened. Then saddened again that tea champagne didn't make it on the menu. Then a few weeks ago I ordered the vanilla almond coconut latte.... BALLER!! It is so refreshing and pleasant tasting. I will be ordering it every time I go to the mall to get my walking steps in with my daughter (yes, I go there to walk and not always shop). I might try the taro custard soon too. Taro is a favorite of mine.

    Taro Vanilla Custard

    I'll be the first to admit I've largely been avoiding malls since the pandemic arrived. I finally made it back over to the Fashion Mall now that I'm vaccinated and still masked - I'd heard that Mimi Blue had some different sandwiches now and I also wanted to finally get myself to try out this location of HoiTea ToiTea, a locally owned tea shop located smack dab in the middle of the food court where Pinkberry used to be. I was concerned they might not survive the pandemic, but they are still here with what seems like a slightly expanded menu. They serve up Bubble Tea, Lemonades, Lattes, Brewed Teas, Coffee Lattes, Espresso, Hot Chocolate, French Press, and a delicious frozen dessert called Taro Vanilla Custard that you can get in a cup or cone (or both - ask them!) with eight possible toppings included (I believe just one of them, but I may be wrong) at a price of $5.95. This is a great location. It looks great in the mall and is well situated in terms of the pandemic. Entry and exit is well marked and all employees are masked. The mall itself requires masks and quite a few of the stores have clearly marked limits on entry clearly marked and enforced by employees. In terms of masks, I'd say the vast majority of folks were wearing though the usual "the nose is actually part of the face" issue is occasionally present. I actually got cut in line - something the young man working the counter saw and looked at me as if to say "Do you want me to enforce it?" To be honest, I knew I had no clue what I wanted or about the menu - so, I deferred (plus, they had a cute baby. It gave me time to make weird googly faces through my mask). That same young man ended up serving me (2 registers were open). He was quite friendly and helpful. He explained the menu, explained his favorites, and made sure I understand what each product was and anything in particular about it. It was patient and helpful. There was a sign about a reward program - I do wish he'd mentioned that but out of fairness I also didn't bring it up. I ended up ordering the Taro - a mildly sweet very starchy tuber often used in Asian desserts. It's known as being ideal for ice cream and I'll definitely reinforce that. It was amazing. I also got a chocolate topping. While it's relatively modest in size, it's quite good. From what I've read, the Taro is so starchy that making ice cream won't involve eggs (which is great for those of us with egg allergies). As a tea drinker, I look forward to trying their teas. I'm also a huge hot chocolate fan. And Espresso. And latte. I don't like bubble tea. I draw the line there. Seriously, this is a great place and it's close enough to the door that you can easily get in there and maintain pretty strong boundaries. Tables are situated well. You can also get HoiTea ToiTea delivered by GrubHub and DoorDash. I'll definitely be back!

    I'd never had boba before and was drawn to Hoitea Toitea to try it for the first time. I was a bit anxious because I had no idea what to order but I was led in the right direction with a strawberry boba in raspberry hibiscus tea, lemonade and strawberry cane. It was delicious. The worker who recommended the drink said he drinks it like water and I can honestly see why. I love the drink I got and the employees who were awesome. The food looked tasty too and I feel like I missed out on it. Also, bonus points because I messaged the business later and you can bring your own cup to reduce single use plastic. I was informed there may be an upcharge depending on the size of the cup, but it's totally acceptable to bring your own cup. Between a reusable cup and a reusable boba straw, I won't be creating any plastic waste by going back here.

    It was the grand opening for the store in the fashion mall, so i decided to stop by to give it a try. I had got the pineapple melon punch bubble tea lemonade and it was good. This was my first time ever trying a bubble tea and it was not bad at all. I will say the store is on the high end because I paid almost $9.50 for my drink which was a 32oz I believe. The store only had one size that I could tell. The location is a nice location in the food court of the mall. Also, the employees were friendly and they explained everything to me. Overall I had a nice experience.

    Tea Lattes Bubble Tea Smoothies

    The girls and I were out shopping on a daddy daughter date and the girls really wanted bobba and we came across Hoi Tea Toi Tea and to be honest I usually have to doctor up the existing recipes/ formulas to get something as fruity as I like it and for the first time I really messed up by doing so. I asked for a tropical banana and I asked them to add a little acid and berry mix to it, Aria got just the tropical banana and Anya a pumpkin spice latte, and Aria's tropical banana was the best fruit smoothie I have ever had EVER! I went to tell Justin (one of the owners unbeknownst to me) to suggest that people not mix the flavor because they are are spot on especially the tropical banana, and he gave me a new one and it was my fault. I said no that's alright and he insisted, he said that they are not cheap and we want you to be happy, well I'm beyond happy. Thank you that's why your the owner!

    I'm writing this review while I sip a steaming-hot mug of Vanilla Almond Coconut loose leaf tea from here. I hadn't realized that you could buy bags of tea leaves here in addition to actual drinks and it's made my start to this week that much better! I'd been looking for some better tea options (than the ones just offered at the grocery store) and THIS is the spot. There were mango mint loose leaf teas, blackberry mint, and bourbon fruit tea that I'll be back for too (those were my favorite ones after smelling them all). Support this local tea shop while getting your shopping done! The owners are super sweet and hardworking, and you'll enjoy the offerings. Here are a few cool tidbits for you to know: -They do BOTTOMLESS mimosas/champagne-tea cocktails for only $20 and it lasts all day. Make your shopping a bit more fun! -They have delicious macarons that are actually infused with their tea flavors! -They get their tea from Nelson's Tea, which also allows you to buy bags in addition to the cup of tea you get onsite. -They have a few baked goods including a bagel and cream cheese if you need a quick breakfast!

    Strawberry and banana smoothie
    Stefanie S.

    I've tried a few teas and decided to switch it up. I'm not a fan of banana, but the strawberry and banana smoothie is on point and you can barely taste any banana. The staff was helpful with me deciding what to get. It's located in the food court at the fashion mall, so it was quick in and out for me with no wait time.

    Green discount cup
    Lisa T.

    I've started becoming a tea drinker since I'm not a big fan of coffee or soda. It's mind boggling to see how many types of tea there are nowadays: hot, cold, latte, fruity, you name it, they have it! It seems like I lean towards the fruity and herbal teas, but with so many options available at HoiTea ToiTea, I can't wait to discover what my go to's are. If you are a big tea connoisseur, I would suggest buying their green plastic cup for $14.95. With that reusable cup, your first drink is free and all future drink purchases are $0.25 off. Any saving is better than none!

    A lot of ice, not much juice at all. Not exactly like the other milk tea place. They have special flavor that they created.

    Macaroons. Need I say more? The macaroons at HoiTea ToiTea are magical. They are made with brewed tea from HoiTea ToiTea. They are made in Illinois and brought in. The reason I am giving 4 stars is because of the messy, unorganized, dirty set up they had. We were there for an event in the mall before they opened at 12 and the place was already a disaster. When you are sitting at the bar trying to enjoy your drink / snack the last thing you want to see is a mess. Just my opinion. In response to the owners hateful response to my review. I worked food industry for many years before graduating college. I do know that things can get disorganized. But I also know that what the customer sees while enjoying food/drink at your restaurant affects their view on the establishment. There are plenty of cabinets to hide the random junk laying everywhere. In regards to the free cocktails, yes they were great. Thank you. But is was not something I purchased, thus not something I can leave a review on. From reading other reviews about this place I can see I am not the only person the owner has hatefully responded to. Grow from these reviews, quit making excuses for the things people bring to your attention

    This Fashion Mall location was actually my first experience with HoiTea ToiTea although the Broad Ripple one has been opened for a while. The staff is very knowledgeable about the products and I love that they make useful and honest suggestions. They offer CBD oil as an add on to beverages and they offer hot and cold variations of a lot of options. I saw a sign that also advertised boba options so I will try that next time. I left with a couple of macarons which are huge! They had really good texture and the lavender fog flavor tasted amazing.

    watered down tea
    Chris M.

    I love boba tea and always get one whenever I see one. So, I was excited to see a new boba tea place at the food court in Fashion Mall and figured had to give them a try. Verdict: Disappointed and one of the worst I've ever had 1) Too much ice 2) Boba texture was weird - wasn't cooked right (slimy on the outside and very hard inside) . 3) Tea was water down and had an unpleasant after taste. 4) Way overpriced (almost $10 after all the up-charge for extra). So not worth it. I gave them 2 stars for their friendly service and presentation. This review is just for their tea, so I hope their coffee is better. The nickel and diming seems petty. Definitely its a one and done for me, especially at their prices.

Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years.

No one asked if everything was okay even though most of my food was untouched. The food... my salad (house greens) was a great little salad! I say this despite finding a hair on the plate when I was about 2/3 through. My mussels and fries were not great. The fries were mid - they tasted kind of overdone or as if the oil were old. The mussels were actively bad. The portion (an app) was pretty small. There was hardly any broth/wine and they weren't piping hot. Also, they were actually not tasty and the texture was rubbery. They remained in front of me, uncleared, even after I closed my tab. They did not smell good. I don't anticipate being sick but I do anticipate being hungry.

So many flavors going on, all complementing each other. The jalapeño cornbread was really good as well. It's a huge portion!

    We were looking for a good place near the convention center and stumbled here. It's a regional…read more'chain' in 4 cities in the U.S. The inside (especially the line of small tables for two) reminded me of an egg carton. The lighting over the tables are oval shaped as an egg and the inner parts of the light resemble an egg yolk. Cute play on the theme. Our server was very friendly so that was a good start. I had the southwestern salad with buffalo chicken. It had corn and tortilla strips (which I left off), black beans, cheddar cheese, tomatoes and bleu cheese dressing. It was super fresh and very flavorful. The chicken actually had a good buffalo flavor which many claim to have but don't. We also tried the Nutella crepes with bananas, strawberries, whipped cream and Nutella. In addition to being very large, it had a great taste and was very fresh. Another hit for sure. The avocado toast with salmon was really good. The flavors were spot on and as with the other food, very fresh and well prepared. The brisket burger patty melt was also done perfectly. The brisket patty was a perfect medium and the onions were grilled just right. We opted for mayonnaise instead of the Thousand Island dressing it comes with. The other dressing may have been good but the mayo really paired well. Finally, the club sandwich was again prepared perfectly. Fresh meat, perfectly toasted bread (some places under toast and many over toast) - it was quite tasty. The French fries were fried so that they were crispy (but not overdone) on the outside but soft inside. We were very pleased with The Yolk and would definitely return if we come back to town in the future!

I also got a side of egg whites, but they were cooked in that butter spray and didn't taste fresh. The cheesy grits were OK but not very flavorful. I also got a Matcha, but it was pretty watery about a two out of five stars. I will note that the service was good and the staff was friendly.

The restaurant features an extensive drink menu that will suite anyone's pallet. We chose to start with the bread service which was killer especially the honey butter. All of the apps look d amazing but went for the dry rub duck wings with home made ranch. My only critic was I wish there were more than 3. Finished off with the shrimp and grits. Although, I wasn't in New Orleans the spiciness took me back there. The wait staff was great. Even though we were late for the reservation we were seated promptly and had multiple people taking care of us. Spoke & Steele is a must if you are staying in the hotel but also if you want a cool vibe for drinks and great food I would stop by and take a look.

The seating? Intimate. The lighting? Soft. The whole space feels like a quiet luxury moment tucked right into the city. Now let's talk about what REALLY matters, the food. The shrimp & grits??? Listen... this wasn't just a dish, this was an EXPERIENCE. The grits were creamy, smooth, and perfectly rich, but that sauce layered on top?? Whew. Flavor on flavor on flavor. You've got that deep, savory, slightly smoky profile with juicy shrimp, sausage, and those pickled onions cutting through everything with the perfect tang. Every bite felt intentional. Like somebody knew what they were doing in that kitchen. And can we talk about how beautiful it was plated?? Because yes, I absolutely appreciated the aesthetics before I even picked up my fork. Paired it with a simple coffee moment, sitting by the window, and honestly... it felt like a reset. Not rushed, not loud, just good food, good atmosphere, and a chance to actually enjoy it. If you're looking for a brunch spot that feels a little more elevated, a little more intentional, and delivers on both flavor and experience. This is it. 10/10. I'll absolutely be back!!!

    FLAVORFUL RESTAURANT IN A HIP PART OF INDY…read more======================================== My daughter-in-law recommended Bluebeard for dinner on Monday, June 22, 2026. I would have to say this restaurant is my favorite in Indy right now after one meal. Most of the things we shared were amazing and for a complete description please refer to my photo of the menu. We ordered the following: Burrata with Amelia's bread as an appetizer which was delicious. Gem Salad - This was amazing and I could eat it every day of the week. Stacci house made pasta - This was a big hit and I would order this every time. Hanger Steak - My husband, aka the picky eater, loved it. I didn't try it, but everyone seemed to like it. Chicken with a few dumplings - We all loved this. Three desserts to share: a cheesecake with fruit on top, one a bread pudding and a chocolate crisp. I ordered a delicious Monsoon Season cocktail with song cai vietnamese gin, cocchi americano, st. george thai basil eau de vie, elderflower, lemon and basil oil. My son and I also ordered glasses of Port after dinner. The service was great and I loved that they were playing really good rock music like Soundgarden and others. There are lots of antique typewriters above the bar and a cool print of Kurt Vonnegut by the bathrooms. I am looking forward to going again the next time my husband and I are in Indy visiting my son and daughter-in-law unless they move out of state.

    Bluebeard was my pick for my birthday dinner and for good reason. The restaurant has a laid back…read moreand quirky vibe and is literary themed. Themed around Indy native Kurt Vonnegut, you'll see old typewriters, books, and names of menu items paying tribute to the famous author. The menu feels high class but the atmosphere and wait staff are friendly and welcoming. You could dress up for a special occasion or come in casual every day wear and either fit in just fine. Their ever changing menu featuring local produce and meats is always unique, inventive, and most importantly, delicious. Their cocktail list is one of the best and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had an extensive mocktail list as well. Their sodas and syrups are all house-made which means every drink is full of fresh flavors. I had a lemon pasta dish an my husband ordered the hanger steak. Both were cooked perfectly and composed of flavors and textures that complimented each other perfectly. There's nothing that wouldn't be good on their menu because you can tell the chefs are exceptional as well as the ingredients they choose. I really can't say enough good things about this place, it remains one of my favorite places to enjoy a meal and no matter what I choose, I'm never disappointed.

Great location at…read morethe end of Mass Ave near Bottleworks--and pro tip: parking directly in front on the same side of the street is free. The space is big and fun, with a large dining room, an old-school video arcade game, interesting art, and a big screen playing movies, which adds to the laid-back, quirky vibe. It's counter service with clear menu boards on the wall, making ordering easy. I had the cheesy jalapeño grits with bacon and an egg and... my goodness. So incredibly delicious. One friend ordered the same grits but swapped in fried catfish instead of bacon--also a fantastic choice. Our third went with a classic plate with eggs and bacon, and let me tell you, the bacon is thick and plentiful. We ordered a side of fries for the table and there were more than enough to share. Self-serve coffee with all the fixings is a nice touch, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Fun atmosphere, great food, solid portions--definitely will be back.

    Food: lame Price: expensive!…read moreService: not friendly Atmosphere: SUPER WEIRD... dimly lit, Deer-butt wallpaper and clowns??? My husband and I had never been here before and the lady at the counter was less than friendly. She did tell us the menu was on the other wall. My husband got a Diet Coke that came in a can and we both got a classic plate minus the toast. 2 eggs, 2 sausage patties... nothing special including the presentation. The price for each plate was $18 plus a $2 can of coke and a tip they didn't deserve brought our total to a little over $40. The eggs were flavorless and literally had no seasoning. I did appreciate that the sausage patties weren't greasy. That was about the only good thing. The decor looked like they took whatever thrift stores couldn't sell with no particular theme. Funny enough, we went out for breakfast a few days later to a DIFFERENT PLACE and for the SAME PRICE got way more food, better quality food, better presentation, full table service, friendly service, great atmosphere, and an overall wonderful experience. Overall, I would not recommend this place. We left feeling like we got ripped off and I could have made the same thing better at home.
