There were more than a few Biggby's around, when I lived in Toledo. Having started from Michigan,…read moreit made perfect sense that I'd see a few of them in Toledo, being so close to Michigan-Ohio border n' all.. The issue was that there were plenty of other coffee shops, both mom n' pop and large Starbucks of the world that I really didn't see the merit of Biggby. It may also have something to do with the fact that I'm more of a straight black coffee drinker and usually don't drink "sweet" latte drinks. It seemed like Biggby was more specialized in those craft drinks. This one in Ellettsville, Indiana, I personally think had better quality drinks when I visited. Between the three of us, we ordered one medium roast brew, one craft latte and one fruity drink. All of them came out fine. The atmosphere of the shop itself was also interesting. The shop was in a converted old bank building, which gave it bit of a charm. The main entrance still had an old deposit box next to the door, and drive-thru lanes still had the drive-thru deposit/ATM feel to them. It was also relatively busy, the location being on a corner of one of the main roads of the town. Three nice young bubbly ladies were the baristas inside. When we walked in, there was only one customer, so we made some small chatters and they were all very nice. Once I placed my order though, a few more Door Dash pick-ups came in and the girls became really busy, taking a bit longer than expected to get my food and drinks out. I was here for business, so I'm not sure if I'll ever be back in this area to revisit, but all in all, it wasn't a bad experience at all.

Response time took forever and the responses were very short UNTIL I started to speak about payment then everything was fine. style: Don't get my wrong the cake was pretty close (the two stars) We had a Taco Bell themed party and the inspiration cake was fake Taco Bell packs and "sauce" which I assumed would be made out of JELLY. NO, she put actual taco bell packets (did tell me she had to use real ones) and actual Taco Bell sauce on our cake that dried and looked disgusting. The very front of the cake was messed up. I was going to try and fix it myself when I got home but I was afraid I would make it worse. The whole thing just felt sloppy. Taste: This cake was not good. The layers of actual cake was thick and dry and the "filling" was so thin. The icing was thick that almost everyone picked most of it off and there was so much left over. And don't get me started on the taco sauce and the taste of that . Overall, I was very disappointed and will be going somewhere else next time.

The idea of revisiting Indiana University for the first time after many years with my daughter, a…read moreproud alum, already was so special. We launched our weekend at the Poindexter, a charming multi-functional space at the Graduate by Hilton hotel. Designed to mimic the dark wood at the IU Memorial Union, the Poindexter sports a bar, table seating and booths. Our hosts, Kelsea and Charley, made our dining experience so friendly and welcoming. Of course, we started with the signature cocktail, the Hoagy Spritz, in homage to the award-winning composer who penned his hits right there in Bloomington. Great food. Affordable prices. Perfect place to celebrate Indiana University wins!

It was still warm, but somehow it was hard and sort of unpleasant to eat. I did not get the 'bacon' until I found a pocket where 5 slices were stacked inside. I would also say it was a very salty croissant. It was a beautiful pastry, but not one that I would grab for in the future. As for my coffee, the chocolate chip cookie latte caught my attention on the sign. It stayed house made chocolate chip cookie syrup. The coffee was good, but I'm still not sure why it was called chocolate chip cookie. I think I honestly just ordered 2 items that simply weren't for me. My husband got the honey bear latte and it was very smooth and quite pleasant. He also got a chocolate chip scone. It was a good scone, but quite softer than what I imagine a scone should be. When we left they had just put out an Oreo cake of some sort. I wish I had held off ordering until I saw that come out. It looked absolutely delicious ! The overall vibe of the place is definitely something to come back for and perhaps to push my rating to a 5. The staff were wonderful and very friendly, especially for a busy game day.

It was a weird experience, and their large size was substantial enough that I wondered if it was needed, but I was satisfied that I'd broadened my palate by the end of it. I had no room for food, but they had some vegetarian options and abundant sweets, and they appeared to be selling houseplants as well. I have no doubt that if I were local, I'd be back to try a lot more.

Most places make Thai tea sweet by default, so I liked being able to try it unsweetened here. It was good tea and just strong enough. The shop looked clean and polished, with several tables. There is no customer restroom. This place is really out of the way for me, but if I do happen to be on the west side again, I might stop by again because I'd like to try their other teas.
