    I was pleasantly surprised by finding this little gem in the city! Great pastries, the owner is such a sweet person. She took the time to talk to us. Shop is very clean and the smell is just fantastic! Highly recommended

    With the exception of honey in a few of their bread options, everything else is vegan. Be sure to ask when/if in honey doubt. I tried a Sea Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie and a Thumbprint cookie. I couldn't believe how good they were. Vegan AND gluten-free?!! Too many times places' gluten-free options fail to measure up to my tastes. Not here. They have mastered the culinary art of creating delicious, soft, moist baked goods; and not that earthy/gritty typical gluten-free taste and consistency. Kudos to them! Their storefront is only open to the public on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Go early to grab your favorites!

    I'm currently obsessed with making butter candles annnd you need bread for those! Ha! I was told Native was the best place to go for gluten free bread, and it did not disappoint. The baguette, was a favorite at both events I attended. The cheeseball spread in my tastebuds opinion isn't comparable to a "cheese"ball spread, however, it's a good spread, and I would definitely get it again. On my second visit I impulsively purchased flavored croutons(can't recall the flavor, but I'm sure they probably change it up), they were amazing! Paired well with my tomato bisque. If you're vegan or gluten-free add Native Bread to your list!

    Say it with me: honey oat bread! It's soooo delicious while also being gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free and more. Hot tip: you can call ahead to reserve an item so they don't sell out by the time you get there. Other tip: throw in an Amazeball cheese spread with your order. They are a local biz that sells dairy-free cheese dips that are insanely good and come in flavors such as pizza or everything bagel. Yummmm!

    Full disclosure: I don't have any food allergies or self-restrictions when it comes to dining. (Calorie counting is my only limit.) So, while I appreciate that this new shop offers a variety of breads (including a sourdough baguette) to folks who are searching for a tasty source for their gluten free, or dairy free, or sugar free (the list goes on), I am rating them based upon how they compare to all other bakeries. So points for serving an under served corner of the market. The shop is located in a plaza on the southwest corner of Allisonville Road and 96th. There is plenty of parking and I like that there is a stoplight that allows you to have easy access back onto Allisonville. Inside, the shop has a small reception area where there is a seating area and a display/purchase counter. There were four types of bread (they had sold out of a fifth type) as well as the baguette. I kind of expected more items based upon some of the reviews, so that was a bit disappointing. The woman behind the counter said they are working on adding some more varieties including their take on a rye bread. The shop is only open on Thursdays and Saturdays, which has also caused me to cancel plans to stop by while in the area (it takes between 45-60 minutes to get here from my house.) The rest of the days, the staff is baking bread in the large area behind the counter. So, no immediate plans to expand the retail shop hours soon. And the bread itself? Well, because they are substituting so many ingredients, it isn't like bread you find at a lot of bakeries; especially like the breads you buy in a grocery. I'm not saying that is bad, but since they didn't have any free samples to try, we found both the seeded boule and the cinnamon raisin to be very dense and heavy. There is a lot of chew compared to other breads we purchase. The flavor was quite good which is why they are getting four stars from me. But for my wife who likes bread with a crispy outside and a soft and much lighter inside texture, she was disappointed. The loaves were selling for $9 each, so for us, having some free samples would have been helpful. The bakery is run by three women and we were greeted and provided information about the products and business. They even have a plaque that tells you how best to preserve your bread if you aren't consuming it in one day. So, overall, a good tasting bread which fills a niche in the bakery market is now available. If you really like bread, but have restrictions on what you can intake, this may be your favorite new place! Review #3311

    It's the type of place that checks all the boxes, really though, Native Bread is like if you made a wish of all the things filled and complete. Native Bread is run, by Hayley, whom is just practically the sweetest most passionate person you've ever met. She's dedicated to creating a product that can serve the masses, gluten free (check), dairy free (check), nut free (check), etc...... tastes delicious (check check). She's been selling at the markets and lots of local shops for years and now she's finally got a place of her own. It's in a very interesting spot on the north side, but don't judge a book by it's cover. Once you enter the walls are clad with bright cheerful yellow tile, a smiling face to greet you, and the smell of fresh baked bread illuminates the air. It's a very cozy spot, so be prepared to pick up your bread and go. However the thing to know. She has several amazing breads. Sourdough, Honey Oat, Multi Seed, and Cinnamon raisin, available almost everywhere. The store front has a few more breads like her baguettes, garlic bread, and rye-not (similar to a rye). So head in and check it out! @twainindy

    Thank you!

    BRAVO! First of all, who doesn't want to support small businesses and especially ran by women. I have been wanting to venture over to this shop for some time. The days they're open to the public must be kept in mind, but priorities people. You have to accept and respect non-chain businesses have select hours. I met the owner in person at the YELP BIZARRE and I absolutely adored her energy. She was so kind, and helpful. I was able to sample the various bread selections. I am non-dairy and my son is gluten free. So finding non frozen, fresh baked breads are almost impossible. The bread is delicious! But knowing what you're putting into your body is priority. I love that I can rely on a bread that is healthy for my family. So I finally made it into the business and I was welcomed by a sense of acceptance. People of color (POC) know what I'm referring to. *See pictures* It is refreshing and it doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you Native Bread. Tip: Rye-not was delicious with my chickpea tuna salad. The banquettes were amazing with homemade chicken noodle soup that I made for my children. The raisin loaf- what a treat! My new bakery for fresh bread!

I wanted one of everything. I finally decided on the Breakfast Sandwich which was made on one of their house-made flaky, buttery croissants. The hot sandwich had City ham, bacon, egg and Gruyère cheese. It was decadent and delicious. My husband had a Potato and Fontinella cheese danish, which he devoured and enjoyed. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The food was delivered quickly. I thought prices were reasonable. The dining area has a modern industrial vibe. There are tables or comfy seating if you want to kick back. There were several people sipping coffee and working in the small work space. Free WiFi is available. The outdoor patio looks inviting during warmer weather. We were able to find free street parking directly in front of the building. I highly recommend!!!! Easy 5 stars.

The market has a fun selection of local goods, and the whole space feels thoughtfully designed. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The breakfast sandwich came from a warmer, and the croissant had become soft and mushy. The egg was a firm, precooked square, and the bacon was limp. The pepper jam was delicious and easily the best part, but it could not make up for the lack of texture in the rest of the sandwich. The chocolate croissant looked beautiful and had plenty of visible layers, but it was surprisingly dense and breadlike rather than light and flaky. Our cold brew and matcha were both good, although the matcha did not have much flavor despite being freshly whisked. Service was also slow and strangely disengaged, which made ordering feel more awkward than it needed to be. There is a lot to like about the atmosphere and idea behind Borage, but the execution during this visit did not live up to the presentation. Definitely going to have to try a sit down brunch next time.

Well they stay open till 10pm! Hooray! Most other donuts shops and bakeries close early afternoon, so just another reason Longs is 5 star. Small but efficient. People always friendly donuts always fresh and delicious. Fyi- Still cash only.

Whoever you are... thank you. You changed my life. The sweet woman behind the counter heard where I was from and handed me a complimentary glazed yeast donut. Let me tell you... WHEW! It wasn't even fresh out of the oven, and it still melted in my mouth. Light, soft, perfectly glazed... I knew right then I was in trouble. I ended up buying a box with blueberry cake, applesauce cake, cinnamon sugar, Bavarian cream, glazed yeast, and a few others. Everything was incredibly fresh, and at those prices, I had to double-check the menu because I thought I was reading it wrong! When I got back to my parents' house in Louisville, we warmed a few up for just a few seconds. Game over. They somehow tasted even better. My plan was to take some to church tomorrow to share... but judging by how fast they're disappearing, I may be testifying about them instead. Before I left, the woman smiled and said, "Make sure you come back when you're in town." Oh, I'll be back. I may even create reasons to drive through Indianapolis now. Long's Bakery doesn't need fancy displays or trendy flavors. They simply make outstanding donuts with friendly service and prices that make you wonder if they accidentally forgot inflation. 10/10. Worth every mile of the detour.

Yes, these are quite a bit pricer that's for sure. People were buying one of everything in line. I was like wow! Some Items the combinations of flavors didn't appeal to me. I love tiramisu and pecan pie so I got them both. One suggestion I would have is to have utensils and napkins at the table for people to use. The pastries I bought are really temperature sensitive and need to be kept cold. Both had a cream - mousse inside. They wouldn't last long only a day or to the next. I loved the pecan item I ordered. It was great! The tiramisu one I wouldn't order again. The bottom flakey part was so bitter. I love coffee and expresso and tiramisu. But, the whole thing just wasn't what I thought it would taste like. Now I know. :-( Creamy, sweet, smooth, with a kick of coffee all come together to make a great tiramisu. This is what most people love about it. I don't know if they are planning on opening a store or not. The pop ups are doing well it seems. I will try other items whenever I can get to one of the pop ups.

What went from ordering 1 pastry each turned into 8 total.. and we regret nothing. The Tiramisu Danish was exactly as I had hoped for! The bitter taste of espresso paired with the sweet mascarpone cream filling reminded me of the holidays when I would watch my mom make tiramisu for our family. While a lot of people prefer a sweeter espresso, I thought this was perfect and very true to a traditional tiramisu taste The Pear Kouglof reminded me of a fresh yeast donut that's been tossed in sugar This was a very kid-friendly pastry in taste and while I wasn't too blown away by it, it did make me wonder if I would have preferred it with a stronger, more potent, fruit. The Cherry Basque Cheesecake -- this pastry was the house favorite. The texture of this cheesecake was creamy, but somehow still spongey.. cakey, but more like pudding. Mix that with the juiciest sour cherries and the crunch of a biscoff crust.. mind blown was an understatement. We're looking forward to what Beurre Sec has planned for their next pop-up
