    The Indiana Blt w/a side drink and bar-b-Que chips.
    Aary W.

    The stardust cafe had to be one of my go-to spot. They service is top tier, shout out to Tanya and the food is excellent. My favorite is the Indiana BLT. During the holiday season (Christmas), they sale decorative Christmas cookies and they are delicious.

    Friday lunch special: meatloaf, green beans, mashed potatoes. #yum #ReiewsByRL

    First time trying the Stardust Terrace Cafe by Johnathan Byrd's Cafeteria, located on the canal level in the Indiana Historical Society. It was not busy when we were there (a Friday at 11:30). We ate inside and the tables were socially distanced and the cafe is practicing all precautions. The thought of a cheeseburger and fries was very tempting , but the special of the day was meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans, which I never have, so I got the special. it was hot and yummy. My dining companions got another meatloaf special, a chicken sandwich and fries, and a build-your-own pizza. It was all tasty. The staff behind the counter very very friendly as well. #yum #ReviewsByRL

    Full Salad with Grilled Chicken
    Brittany F.

    Stardust went under new management sometime last year. There used to be a huge sandwich list and they used to offer quiches, now they have a more condensed menu - which isn't bad, but I do miss one of their old wraps. The new management has been doing a lot of social media outreach and post often on their Instagram and share their daily specials, which is great. I got their gyro special and a side salad, and my boyfriend did a build your own salad. The salads were using fresh ingredients, had a good selection of toppings that you could choose from (you can also add grilled chicken). The gyro was delicious. This is a go-to spot for lunch since I work nearby, and the service is always friendly and fast. They open up seating by the Canal when the weather is good too!

    Great food, affordable prices, fantastic service. It's an excellent place to grab lunch when downtown or on the canal. Anything with the bacon jam is AMAZING! They also have a fancy coffee bar now too! There's free parking at the museum when you eat at the cafe. They started serving brunch on Saturdays.

    Pecan Brownie. This tastes like a pecan pie with cream cheese icing. It was so good!

    *****Stardust Terrace Cafe by Jonathan Byrd's Cafe is open now from 11 am - 2 pm. Tuesday-Saturday. I'm pushing my stars all the way up!! What a great sandwich I had today! The Indiana BLT! It might be one of the best BLT's I've ever had! It had fresh tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and a great homemade mayo sauce not to mention the perfectly pressed bread with the nice cuts of bacon added to the mix. I got the pasta salad as a side and it came with a pickle. You could choose fries, fruit salad, kettle chips or pasta salad. All of it was very good and great quality. The two ladies behind the counter were as friendly as friendly could be! They have a great salad bar that they will make for you also! They will have a carving station as well!!! Oh, if you work downtown stop in they have a great coffee available as well! The lady said come on in and get coffee and expressos! Enter the main entrance to the Indiana Historical Society and head downstairs. They have outdoor seating facing the canal as well and air conditioned indoor seating available.

    Food is decent but too expensive. Coke, a veggie quiche (the size of a large muffin with undercooked crust) and a fruit cup for $14.

    If you are just going to the cafe, is there a cost for parking?

    There's metered parking on Ohio street. Just a few quarters. From West St, turn east on New York Street and take the first right into the parking lot. It's connected to the Indiana Historical Society and you can access it by going down the steps.… Read more

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.

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!

The chicken salad sandwich is so simple yet so good! Only downside is they run out of it so quick! My favorite is a cappuccino but i have tried a few different drinks from their unique menu and everything has been good! The ambiance is upbeat as everyone is busy working and there is house music playing along with current hits. People are doing everything from reading to interviewing people here.

They have a small evening menu ranging from charcuterie boards, olives, crab cakes and flatbread. I got the prosciutto, arugula and fig jam flat bread and omgggg it was DELICIOUS!!! The sweetness of the fig jam and the saltiness of the prosciutto is a match made in heaven! One thing I will say is the music is very loud for how small the place is and it was hard to hear but other than that, I will definitely be back. They are also a coffee shop in the morning and a cute spot to work remotely for a day and I'm going to plan to do that! I want to try their coffee !

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!

This location has a lot of shelf-stable import Italian foods available for purchase, alongside fresh fruits and dairy products from local farms. Counter service for coffee is pretty quick for a mid-afternoon visit. I got the Neapolitan rose latte from the March spring specials. It was kind of expensive ($8 for 16 oz) but very delicious. It was a floral kind of sweet with the addition of a hint of rose. The pink foam colored with strawberry and beet powders adds to the overall cutesy effect! I also got a cocoa brownie ($2.50, about a 3-inch square) and that is surely chocolatey. I didn't find it to be too sweet but it doesn't lack in that department either. They use a Dutch process cocoa in their brownie to give it that signature dark color. Flavor wise, I can best describe it as an Oreo Cakester without the cream filling. Anyway, if you ever see me walking around the Stutz, you'll likely find me with an Amelia's coffee in hand as well!
