    Cup of warm brown water = coffee
    Sheila D.

    Decided to give this place a try for a late breakfast. We are always looking for good breakfast places that have "good" coffee. First, I should say that I am a bit of a coffee snob and I am not talking lattes and fancy coffees. I like strong, flavorful black coffee. Unfortunately, very few places hit the mark on this. Rad's falls short here, the coffee is mere warm brown water which seems very common in a lot of breakfast places. That being said, the servers were friendly and our food was excellent. We had the avocado toast with chorizo and the corn beef hash. We will definitely be back but will not spend $3.50 for brown water. We will opt for a different drink or even bring our own coffee. The place is welcoming and seems like a local hang out. Give it a try for at least the food.

    Ventured to the NW side of Indy for breakfast. Greeted immediately with coffee and a seat at the bar. Pancakes were solid, and the drip coffee was really really good. Very pleased with the visit! Keep slinging what you're slinging!

    Breakfast Tacos, I added Sriracha
    Jill R.

    1st time here and so glad we tried it! Small family owned breakfast and lunch spot. Super clean, great location and ample parking. I ordered breakfast tacos. Nice portion with plenty of chorizo. Goat cheese was a creamy and tangy topping. Came with hash browns. I covered it all in Sriracha of course. Hubs had Eggs Benedict. Eggs cooked perfectly and hollandaise sauce was excellent. Serve yourself coffee station with lots of choices, milk options, and syrups. Oh, and mugs are XL...thank you!! Great service, will def be back.

    I love the vibes of this little neighborhood cafe named for a WWII family war icon. The trendy cafe serves breakfast and lunch and is busy on a Sunday morning. War pics and the story of Rad Bailey hang on the wall. Rad was the inspiration behind this family run cafe. The dining room seats about 25 and there is some seating outside as well. The young staff is plentiful. The menu offers breakfast and lunch options with specials on the board. We stopped by for a quick lunch before heading to the soccer fields. My husband had the Avocado BLT with chips. The sandwich was good, but he was nagged by the wilted lettuce and small tomato slice. There was lots of avocado and the fresh wheat toast was good. The chips may have been made in-house were good. I had a bowl of loaded potato soup. The soup was made from scratch and was beautifully presented. There was lots of bacon, plenty of cheese and green onion and the soup was velvety. But there was just too much salt. All I could taste was the salt. I never complain to the staff, but I was tempted. Our server, Lizbeth, was friendly. I could have used more water, but she was busy serving others. We left a little disappointed. The cafe is so cute and clean, but the food did not hit the mark. Maybe we just ordered the wrong thing.

    Chorizo breakfast tacos with hash brown muffin.
    Bryndon P.

    It started with an impromptu family get-together, and it ended up being a great surprise. Challah french toast, chorizo breakfast tacos, mouth-watering biscuits, and gravy, all served quickly and kindly by a genuinely friendly staff. Everyone LOVED their food, and as in all great family get-together meetups, the food was shared in an informal family style that left us all with a taste of different dishes filled with flavor and well prepared. They have a unique take on hash browns. They cook them in a muffin tin which leaves the outside very crispy and crunchy and the inside tender and soft. I prefer traditional hash browns, but it didn't stop me from finishing my hash brown muffin with gusto. My father-in-law didn't love the muffin version and left half, but the other tables around us did the same thing to theirs that I did to mine, and that was to make it disappear. :) I would have probably rated this as a 4.5, but they also have safe options for my wife in a variety of salads and omelets, so I had to bump it to a five-star rating. I will be back to make a further investment in that Challah french toast. It's starting to call to me, and that's always a good sign.

    Huevos Rancheros
    Fatima G.

    I wanted to try a new place for brunch with a friend and Rad's was on my list for a long time. We landed rather late at 12:15 and the place was completely empty. Which was rather odd since it's Saturday and many customers (just like me) love brunch or late brunch on weekends. I am assuming it could be cause of summers but it was definitely different. I ordered Huevos rancheros and grabbed self serve coffee. The rancheros has just the right flavor with cheese, salsa and hot sauce and I enjoyed the side of hash browns which was crunchy and warm. I loved my coffee and the size was about right. The entire brunch took about an hour and customer service was good. All in all a good place to catch up with friends for brunch.

    Sat outside on patio, great service. Food was good, I ordered the avocado/chorizo toast I would probably try something different next time, but overall great place.

    Burned toast and burned sandwich bread. The photo is of the toast. We sent the sandwich back because it was worse, but didn't get a photo. Water with no ice. Neither are a big deal, but expected better.

    Breakfast Tacos
    Hannah C.

    Rad's is our favorite breakfast spot. It is a small spot, which we love! The staff are helpful and kind. The setting is relaxed. Want to come in your sweats because you just woke up? Do it! I really like their self-service coffee station with the Snickerdoodle coffee . The one thing we love about Rad's is that they are consistent! We've never had a bad experience at Rad's and the food is consistently good. This time, I tried something new... the breakfast tacos! Normally I get the BLT, but this will for sure be my go-to order from now on. Thank you to our server for suggesting them!

    Very simple menu

    Any vegan options?

    The potato soup and the salads looked good. I was with a friend who ordered their oatmeal with an entire cut banana and raisins. They pay attention to the little details.

Rize truly stands out for its commitment to local partnerships, sourcing fresh ingredients from nearby growers, and you can absolutely taste the difference. Everything felt fresh, thoughtful, and well-executed. The space is clean, bright, and nicely decorated. Coffee was strong and flavorful (just how I like it). The salad that came with the omelet was next-level, with a light, citrusy dressing that balanced everything perfectly. The waffles were incredibly airy,soft, fluffy, and melt-in-your-mouth good.... And wow, the bacon was so good we ended up ordering another side. Despite the restaurant being packed, service was friendly, efficient, and never felt rushed. Food came out quickly, and the staff kept everything running smoothly. A great spot for breakfast or brunch, definitely worth supporting a local business that also supports its community partners.

We started with a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice, which tasted incredible. James, our server, was friendly, professional and attentive. He checked us is regularly. Other servers even filled our water when they walked by. I had the Miller Farms Chicken Grain Bowl, which was a hearty mix of tender chicken, radishes, spinach and grains with a pear sauce. This is as a healthy and tasty option, but I was secretly coveting my husband's bacon and toast. My husband had the Farm Eggs Breakfast that came with Smoking Goose sausage and thick sliced bacon. The meats were delicious and perfectly cooked. He said the side salad with palm harts was spectacular. He talked about that salad the rest of the day. The sour dough bread with fresh strawberry preserves was delicious. The breakfast comes with three eggs! The cafe is upscale with lots of seating. They do a great job of spacing people out, when they can. It really felt like a private dining experience. They have a kid's menu with great prices. Rize is a member of the Cunningham Group, so you can use your card to get points for future meals. I highly recommend- probably the best breakfast in Indy.

That's actually why I feel compelled to say something - during my visit, I saw an adult man berate a young hostess over the wait time. No one deserves to be spoken to that way, especially not a teenager doing their job in a high-pressure environment. Unfortunately, I've seen this kind of behavior more than once at restaurants, and it needs to stop. If you're frustrated, taking it out on staff is not ok. A little patience and basic respect go a long way. As someone who used to work as a hostess, I know how stressful those moments can be, and I really appreciated how gracefully the team at Juniper on Main handled everything. They deserve a lot of credit. Highly recommend this place, not just for the great food, but for the hardworking, kind staff who keep things running. If you are someone that can't control your temper and you take it out on unsuspecting people, you should order in. Your frustration doesn't give you the right to behave so awful.

On today's visit, Hannah took wonderful care of us. She told us she was happy we chose to dine on the patio so she, too, could appreciate this unusually warm February day. We appreciated her friendly and upbeat personality! Upon her recommendation, we ordered the citrus shrimp tacos as well as the jerk chicken tacos and upgraded to the coconut rice and beans as the side for both. We also had to order the hot honey chicken tenders with slaw and fries, which has become a menu favorite of ours as it is 100% southernly delicious. And, we have lots of yummy leftovers to enjoy, which is always a plus!
