    Order here for coffee/teas, bakery items and pay here.

    What a great spot to pop in and grab a coffee, snack or quick lunch right off of the Cultural Trail. It's also a terrific space to enjoy your selection from the Needler's salad bar while enjoying a coffee too. Lemon's Bakery and Cafe is located on Alabama plus you can also walk through Needler's to reach. It is a decent size cafe with a cooler full of beverages, a few types of sandwiches, salads and snacks plus Rosie's treats and a friendly barista. Low top tables and communal window seating is along the outside walls with the order/pay counter in the center of the cafe or pay upfront with your groceries. The bakery case has an excellent selection of delicious bakery items from the amazing Rosie's Bakery to tempt you. No need to drive to Zionsville, Carmel or Noblesville when you're craving Rosie's treats. Brownies, gooey cookies, cinnamon rolls, pastries, muffins, bagels and two sizes of cakes, just to name a few, are right here. I enjoy a coffe while I'm grocery shopping especially if I haven't eaten recently. So I walked back to grab a Pumpkin Spiced Latte and a Rosie's lemon bar (for home). The barista was friendly and had no problem adding extra pumpkin spice to my latte as requested. Reasonably priced latte, made quickly and as requested. The lemon bar was wonderful as always. The atmosphere was laid back and surprisingly quiet. Several people were having lunch, a few people were having business meetings and others just picking up quick to go items. No long lines to wait through. I'll continue stopping by for my shopping coffee and whenever I need Rosie's gooey butter cookies and lemon bars. Check Lemon's out! Especially if you work downtown.

    lots of room to walk around the pastry counter

    It's almost unfair that Mass Avenue gets so many high quality places to eat/shop. I would have missed this one if not for the keen eye and reviewing of some Yelp friends who let me know. First benefit is that it is located within Needler's grocery, so you have free parking in their lot for 2 hours. That's right next to Mass Avenue. No meters. No hunting. No having to back out into oncoming traffic. This is a great place to take care of business! Next, it has direct access from Alabama Street with large windows for people watching if you like that sort of thing. You can step right off the Cultural Trail and refuel right here. The place has a variety of ready to eat lunch options and lots of beverages to choose from too. Want some fruit to go with your meal? There is a full grocery to choose from right there!! And, if you like all those things, wait until you try the goodies they sell in the central island of the cafe. A friendly woman was working there and answered my questions, checking to make sure I got the exact item that caught my eye before ringing my order. They have large muffins, cannolis, beautiful icing works of art that have cupcakes under them, and cookies. Oh, and they sell coffee too! What are you waiting for, an invitation? Okay, you are invited!! Review #3208

    Wasn't open when it said it would be and nobody was around to help. The location was also quite unclear. Hoping to revisit when able.

This spot is just off the creek, with a decent parking lot and a drive through. It has a deeper warmer green than a Starbucks, and it draws a much warmer crowd too. We chatted often with the people in this shop! And we visited twice. How welcoming is that? The breakfast burrito is nothing flashy, but definitely warm gooey goodness. What sets it apart is the sauce: creamy, gently spiced, something like a seasoned mayo but not spicy. Coffee, of course, is the backbone here, and it's handled with a kind of calm precision. Our barista kindly alerted my partner and me that a warm blueberry latte would have oatmeal because of course the blueberry curdles regular milk. It was great attention to detail, and it's why we came back again and again during our week long trip. They had a special for every day! Shout out to the orange blossom latte which made me feel like a fairy amidst the city's tulips.

The aesthetic is there. I want to be here. But at your price point, the experience needs to match the atmosphere, and lately there have been a few things quietly chipping away at that. First -- the syrup situation. I shouldn't have to order a specific menu latte just to get a flavored drink. A little flexibility goes a long way in making a customer feel like a guest and not just a transaction. Let me build my drink a little. I'll spend more, I promise. And the pastries, baby. I ordered a croissant and watched it get placed in a bag with a thin sheet of paper like it didn't deserve better. By the time I got home, it had made up its mind to be a different pastry entirely. I know there's a microwave back there -- I've seen it working for the breakfast sandwiches. A warm croissant is a small thing that changes everything. I'm not going anywhere. But I need you to know I notice these things -- because I care about what this place could be. Still yours (for now), A regular.

It is a bit challenging to find parking but there are a few spots in front. I parked down the street and walked which is always an option. There are a few stairs to get in but also a ramp, and the set up has a nice aisle like space for the line and plenty of tables and chairs. It can be quite loud so keep that in mind if you want a quieter reflection time, and maybe take it to go or sit outside. They have various food items but I absolutely LOVE their peanut butter energy balls! In fact that is why I came to this location as this is where the magic happens. They make them here and send them to other Tinker locations! They are the perfect blend of savory and a tad sweet and go super well with their coffee and/or London Fog tea. Yum! I will freely admit to buying all they had on hand, and now can enjoy them at home. Yay! It is a very busy spot so not the friendliest of staff, but assumed they were already hassled from the morning. It was a great spot to meet a friend and enjoy the patio and some tea/coffee. I would for sure go back and even bring a friend! In fact I've already mentioned it to several people as a potential meet up spot! Definitely something to enjoy!

I find…read moremyself making excuses to run errands on Washington Street just so I have an excuse to stop at Good Vibes! I know Good Vibes Cafe is known for their boba tea and "croffles," so of course I had to try one of each on my first visit! I love all the punny names of the boba drinks, mine was called "Pinky Swear," and another cute one is "Peach, Don't Kill My Vibe!" The Pinky Swear has a strawberry tea base with peach popping boba, and it's exactly what I order when I get boba at Harmony or Kung Fu Tea, so I knew I was going to like it! The "croffle" (a croissant in the waffle iron) is out-of-this-world delicious! It was the perfect balance of flaky and fluffy, and the Biscoff drizzle and fresh whipped cream made it even better. Now this is definitely not something that you can eat every day, but is a great occasional indulgence. On my most recent visit, I mixed it up and tried a coffee drink this time! I got the Biscoff latte, and it was literally perfect. The cup was lined with Biscoff cookie butter, and the rich espresso balanced out the sweetness and made it impossible to stop drinking. The only thing that would make this latte better would be if it came in a bigger size! One of my favorite things about Good Vibes is the half and half cup, where you can pick a drink for each side of the cup! It's a great way to enjoy everything Good Vibes had to offer without being forced to make a decision between two equally delicious drinks, plus it costs the same as a large drink! What's not to love? I definitely recommend Good Vibes Cafe, and don't be surprised if you see me there when you stop by!
