With the beginning of the Statehouse Market in downtown Indy for 2023, I'm once again discovering…read moresome of the hidden gems and newbies in the realm of food trucks and farmer's market vendors. One such truck is Milkhouse Brew, a Mooresville, Indiana based mobile coffee truck serving locally roasted coffee, specialty beverages, and locally baked confections. Milkhouse Brew is a partnership between cousins Haliena "Hali" Mynatt and Suni Johnsons. Hali also owns Morgan County event venues 5 East and The Barn at Milkhouse Lane. Suni is a longtime photographer in the area. Both women are locals who graduated from Mooresville High School. Milkhouse Brew has a fairly basic menu, or at least did today, including cappuccino, latte, macchiato, americano, chai latte, and hot chocolate with some variations and flavors available. Prices were pretty darn reasonable and all the drinks could be served either hot or cold. They also all came in either 16-ounce and 20-ounce sizes. Prices primarily were in the $3-6 range and for that you get a tasty drink, awesome service, and the thrill of supporting local. I ordered a 20-ounce iced americano. It was served fairly quickly and they seemed to do a steady business today. A food truck offering coffee has been a serious lacking at Statehouse Market and I'm hoping they will return. Coffee is from Timber City Coffee and Tea - an establishment that recently opened up a storefront in Plainfield. Milkhouse also plans to carry Circle Kombucha, though I did not see it available today. They are also exploring options for root beer on tap. I loved my drink, though I did think the ice melted super quickly and that slightly hindered my enjoyment of the drink. I still enjoyed it, however, that does keep me from forking over a 5th star. Who knows? I hope I get to award that in the future as this new kid on the block, women-owned and operated, really gets going. There's much to love here with an appealing truck, friendly service, quality products that are also local, and an overall winning experience. Here's hoping they'll be back at Statehouse Market in the near future. I could not find an actual address, though they are active on social media and do have a website. They seem to be particularly active in the Morgan/Hendricks county area.

Coffee trucks you can never go wrong with. It was a hot day yesterday and the iced vanilla latte I…read moreordered was refreshing. It came out fast also! I like the menu is simple and to the point. Expressos that can be iced or hot, cappuccino, lattes, Americanos, chai lattes are what they offer. Milks - almond, oat, or whole. Caramel, vanilla, and mocha are the options for flavorings. Whipped cream and extra espresso shots are also available. It's a cute truck. I will be keeping my eye out for them again. They have an Instagram to tell you where they will be next. @milkhousebrew

I was excited to stop by BIGGBY to pick up my birthday drink. I love that they offer a free…read morebirthday drink of any size--it's a great perk. I've been a loyal customer since the days of the physical member card, and even now that everything is digital, I still enjoy coming here. While I was there, the barista Marcus (I believe that was his name) was friendly and pleasant throughout my visit. I noticed some coupons displayed in the window and asked if I could have the coupon sheet to use on my return trip. This is not uncommon because they give these to customers to use. He was about to give them to me when another barista stopped him and said that the ones he was handing me were their last sheet. I was a bit confused, since the coupons were clearly displayed in the drive-thru window, and I wondered if more could simply be printed. When I asked, I was told they hadn't received additional sheets yet, so they couldn't give out the last ones. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be any effort to offer an alternative or accommodate the request, which was disappointing. I ended up leaving feeling a bit uncomfortable despite the great service from Marcus. The lady wasn't very kind with her approach but denying me coupons to SUPPORT a local business wasn't on my bingo card for my birthday. Anyway, I enjoyed my coffee, the initial service and supporting a locally owned business.

Cup of coffee, whatever is fresh brewed. I stand waiting for my coffee. And wait. Person who took my order is back working on drive thru. Wondering what's happening. Normally this goes pretty much the same way; order taken, they turn around, pour the coffee, hand it to me. Another person come over, more minutes later, am I Ok? Yes, just waiting for my coffee. Wait over there. Well finally figure out they don't brew fresh coffee here, they hand me a lukewarm, weak Americano. Starbucks is now all about their blender drinks. Where can I find a cup of coffee now?

Decided to try a newish spot in Plainfield, IN - The Green Room Cafe…read more The cafe is located by the Plainfield Government Center. There is plenty of parking and many other restaurants shops nearby. The inside is clean and modern. There are roughly 10 tables, a comfy couch and chairs, and a small bar area. I HAD to try the Beach Day Latte. The latte was made perfectly. The icing on the cake was the house made coconut cold foam! Ohmygoodness- it was delicious. The breakfast sandwich was standard. I will say they did cook my egg to my liking. The bacon was good but still had grease on the two pieces. Our order taker was friendly and extremely helpful with the explaining the menu. I will definitely go back further the lattes!

My usual was/is a medium iced Blondie with caramel drizzle, and honestly, she never let me down! Then I decided to quit coffee cold turkey... which was brave of me and also slightly tragic. Recently, I decided to start treating myself every now and then, and I got a craving for my OG drink. I was heading to church and noticed the 7 Brew line wasn't long (which feels like a little blessing if you ask me), so I had to stop! Spencer helped me and was super friendly and quick. He typed in my phone number and before I could even finish ordering, he said my drink out loud like he already knew my heart. I was impressed... and slightly called out. That first sip though... pure happiness. My Blondie was perfectly made, sweet, smooth, and exactly how I remembered it! It honestly felt like catching up with an old friend. Now I totally remember why I loved it so much... and why I have to keep my "treat myself" visits in check! Great service, great drinks, and always such a fun, upbeat stop in my day!

We have been regular customers of this restaurant for years, but the catering for my daughter's…read morehigh school graduation party was a massive disappointment. The owner, Felipe Espay, personally placed all the pizza boxes into the venue's warming oven himself, told me to leave it on for 'no longer than 10 minutes,' and explicitly instructed me to turn it off so they would just stay warm for the event. I set a timer and followed his instructions exactly. Despite this, the gluten-free pizza arrived severely burnt and inedible (see attached photos), leaving the guest of honor without her meal. The rest of the bulk pizza order was also heavily overcooked, featuring virtually no cheese and a rubbery, hard-to-chew crust. Because I was hosting a busy party, I only managed to photograph the burnt gluten-free pizza before realizing toward the end of the event that guests weren't eating what should have been high-quality, authentic Italian pizza. While the owner did eventually refund the gluten-free pizza, his follow-up emails defensively blamed me for overcooking the food in a deactivated oven. Sadly, after years of loyalty, we will not be returning due to this terrible quality control and refusal to take responsibility.
