    Iced Strawberry Shortcake latte
    Samantha C.

    They are now serving matcha!! Very high quality, ceremonial grade matcha powder, and you can definitely taste the difference

    Ambiance is perfect as soon as you walk in the door

    How is it that I have never been to the spot before! It's not only quaint and spacious but also very inviting. The owner and his daughter are super sweet and take the time to talk to their customers. Ordered a grilled egg sandwich with hash browns and it was delicious. Ate every last bite and my latte was the perfect drink, not too sweet and It has a homemade vanilla syrup. Plenty of seating and a couple of different rooms set up with different lighting and some natural lighting coming in. There is parking available along the street. There are a few outlets available for those that want to come and do some work away from home. I didn't see an accessible ramp to get in, so there are stairs for the entrance. If you're around the area, definitely recommend that you stop by and check it out. You will not be disappointed.

    Lots of seating!

    This cafe is bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. Sometimes bands come and play on the stage and are hosted by church groups. It feels little hipster and a little grunge, a cafe where you go to hangout and chat with people. Or if you're able to get seating further in where the lighting is better you can even study here. Not many outlets but you could plop down anywhere to read. Coffee is good and staff are all very friendly.

    Cute interior

    Such a cute place! And even with all the social distancing measures taken there is still TONS of seating! I ordered an iced honeysuckle latte and my husband got their sacred hippie. Both were soooo delicious! The honeysuckle latte had the perfect amount of sweetness with a light honey taste and lovely hone ysuckle aftertaste. The sacred hippie is the sweet version of a dirty chai. It had whipped cream with a caramel drizzle and toffee sprinkled on top. The barista described it as "dessert in a cup" and boy was she spot on. If you like a little coffee with your cream and sugar then this is the drink for you, but if you take your coffee black/unsweetened then maybe order something else. Overall, we loved the coffee and atmosphere and are looking forward to visiting again.

    We are from Florida. Last week we visited family in West Lafayette and they recommended this for our final morning with them. They said it was the best coffee in town. Absolutely loved it. The quality is premium artisan, the vibe is authentic and original. The barista was amazing, friendly and skilled. You will not... will not be disappointed! Amazing experience!!

    Although I only stopped in for a plain cup of coffee, I really enjoyed my visit with the manager (owner?) of the place. Located in an old church, the husband and wife team that run the place had things running smoothly. I ordered a black drip coffee and had a choice of types, going for the Ethiopian coffee. I love when a coffee is hot, but drinkable right away. I refuse to give 5 stars to a place that intentionally tries to scald my palate or make me wait 20 minutes to make it drinkable. This place was perfect like I make at home. And with the cold temperatures outside, I appreciated that I could get the warmth inside me as soon as possible! There is a Christian theme to the setting, but other than overhearing some discussions about theology at some of the tables, nobody tried to force their opinions on me. I was in town hunting down some public art and on the side of Sacred Grounds was a large mural and on the front, a 3D mural as well. The murals were added in Sept 2018 as part of the Wabash Walls program and the manager was really helpful in directing me towards the locations and "extras" to look for beyond the large pieces. It really made my hunt for the murals successful and I appreciated his taking the time to help me. Five stars for customer service and for a great tasting coffee. Review #1532

    Great fix for winter

    My favorite beverage depot in the area besides the awkward location not on the way to anywhere. Sacred Grounds is my spot in the city, free WIFI making it easy to stretch out in this eclectic reborn urban atmosphere. There's a great menu with original drinks, tasty real foods cooked up not heated up in a box, and really cool staff eager to please and drip an off menu drink as you like. All making good not just trading cash for caffeine but a wonderful reflection on the origins of this place also depicted in the graffiti. The only things missing are a strong selection of deserts like cheesecake nibbles, chocolates, and indulgent blended magic like Grayhouse does with their frozen hot cocoa liquid bliss. I've sampled many things here. The breakfasts are fantastic, wow proper biscuits and gravy! Makes The TripleXXX Diner look like bad Cracker Barrel. The wraps are amazing too. My usual was a Dirty Chai which sent taste buds a tingle and heart to palpitations. Last fall the pumpkin latte was legit pure riches. Lately I've realized Trent is a master: the Atomic Pony, lavender and white cocoa I think it is, when Trent makes it I cannot think of a better brew in the county. As my check-ins shows I might have a problem! It's a bummer we haven't had live shows this year. Shawn McDonald made for the best concert I've been to a few whiles ago because I was 15 feet from the stage and didn't have bleeding ears after. I would really like a Sacred Grounds 2 on campus: Hebrews? Espressoul? Brew Unto Others? Latte Say Grace?

    The milky way
    Koral B.

    Found another favorite! My brother brought us for coffee and grilled cheese, and the employees hospitality completely won us over. They answered all of our question, made recommendations and were so friendly!! I had the Milky Way with their grilled cheese, while my husband had the dirty hippie with the grilled cheese as well... All of it was amazing. I cannot wait to come back and I definitely encourage anyone to come and try it.

    Three egg veggie scramble and an americano.  Yum!!

The Eleventh House seemed like the perfect stop for elevenses, because they are a coffee shop that also sells sandwiches (bagel sandwiches). The food menu consists of basically just bagels and bagel sandwiches, but that's fine, because The Eleventh House makes a great bagel sandwich. They also offer random little nibbly things, like hard-boiled eggs with dijon mustard, kimchi, citrus slices and "half of an avocado with a crazy amount of Old Bay," which I'm going to have to try to make at home sometime. Some of their sandwiches have exciting things in them, like pickled daikon, burnt pimento cheese (why does that sound so appealing?) and onion jam. I opted to keep my lunch rooted in the quotidian, so I got a Ranch BLT (bacon, iceberg lettuce, tomato, avocado, ranch seasoning, Kewpie mayonnaise) and the Turkey & Havarti, which is mostly just that. Maybe my choices were a little basic, but sometimes the classics are where it's at. These sandwiches were very tasty! The coffee shop / restaurant feels very open, with natural light coming through a skylight window and plants everywhere. It's a nice place to sit and chill for a while. When you dine in, they give you a number on a tarot card to place at your table. My tarot card was the Three of Wands, which I've learned represents the threshold of adventure, a call to leave your comfort zone to seek enlightenment in the world. (And, perhaps, an invitation to live deliciously?) How appropriate.

    My experience at Every's Ice Cream was nothing short of memorable. As we strolled through the…read moredowntown area... i was immediately drawn to the inviting atmosphere of this small, family-run shop. Known for being new to the ice cream scene in Lafayette, Indiana, it didn't disappoint. The service was impressively swift, ensuring that we could enjoy our treat without any unnecessary wait. For two, sharing three scoops was a delightful decision, as the portion sizes were generous, offering excellent value. We indulged in espresso and blueberry cheesecake, alongside peanut butter fudge each flavor offering a rich and satisfying experience. This establishment is highly recommended for anyone seeking a cozy spot to enjoy ice cream sourced directly from a local farm in southern Indiana. I'll definitely be returning to Every's Ice Cream for another taste of their creamy ice cream, that is around 16 percent butter fat , which is high for the industry and the smooth textures confirmed this! We also found it is not overly sweet so that you can taste the flavors intended. RATINGS & LOGISTICS: - Atmosphere: 8/10 - Food Quality: 9/10 - Service/Flow: 9/10 - Value: 9/10 - Would Return: Yes. I'll be back.

    TLDR: I'd return but I'd order differently…read more Service was very friendly and the excellent root beer flowed freely. Atmosphere is old time lunch counter with far too many pictures and posters from DDD. The food wasn't bad. The pork tenderloin sandwich was good as were the fries. I've got reservations about the Dean Purvis burger, though. It's a signature burger but as much as I believe that peanut butter is a blessing from above, it adds absolutely nothing to a cheeseburger. The counterman enthusiastically recommended adding bacon to the burger. I went for it but again, it really added nothing beyond an upcharge. The beef itself though wasn't bad at all. The onion rings were also not worth the addition. They're very much low end standard food distributor issue and distinctly 'meh.' I watched a frostie being made. It's something like an inverse root beer float, a lot of ice cream with a small amount of root beer. The number of scoops of ice cream that went into that blender was positively insane. So yeah, I'd go back but I'd order a tenderloin, a more basic burger, or something from the breakfast menu.

    Breakfast all day! Usually, this feature at a restaurant is lost on me, because I don't care for a…read morebig breakfast as my first meal of the day, or really, any time of the day. But I was visiting West Lafayette, and it was morning, and I was feeling a little "under the weather," as my Polish grandmother would say when she went too hard on the Bud Lites the night before. So breakfast at Triple XXX it was, because I could walk there from the Purdue campus, and this restaurant is a West Lafayette institution. I got the Triple XXX Breakfast Special: two over-medium eggs, bacon, fried potatoes and wheat toast. And it was good, you know? It was simple and hearty. I especially liked the fried potatoes. But what really took it over the top is when my server, who was incredibly friendly, told me that she could bring me some root beer jelly to go along with my wheat toast. Record scratch. Say what, lady? Root beer jelly? Yes, Triple XXX makes their own root beer jelly, and they also sell it by the jar. (I bought a jar.) They are famous for their root beer, which is sold nationwide, so I guess it makes sense that they would also make root beer jelly. It tastes exactly the way you would think it would. It tastes like root beer! It's delicious. The seating at this restaurant is interesting: All of the seats are bar seats, and they face the middle of the kitchen. There were no tables or booths that I saw, unless you wanted to go outside and sit at one of the picnic tables on the patio. I liked this seating setup, because I could watch the action happen before my very eyes. The black coffee was very good. It better be, at a place like this! This is the kind of greasy spoon restaurant where old timers stay a while with a cup of coffee and a newspaper. (There were three such people doing something like that when I visited, as a matter of fact.) It's just a comfortable part of the West Lafayette community.
