    I've been excited to try out caffeinated cook since they opened ! They did not disappoint. We had a fresh out of the oven lemon blueberry scone. The sweetness in it was absolutely perfect. It was like eating a cake in scone form ! Definitely recommend. They were out of biscuits and gravy when we came in, but we got there pretty late. So we opted for breakfast sandwiches. Served hot and delicious ! They don't have espresso, but they do have fun flavors for their coffee. I got a medium drip with coconut and it is yum. Can't wait to go back, preferably earlier in the day !

    I have wanted to try this restaurant out for some time. The owner who calls herself the caffeinated cook took over what was originally a coffee shop and opened on valentine's day this year. Her hours are from 7 am until 2 pm. The owner runs the shop with a couple other workers. it is conveniently located next to a municipal parking lot in Ellettsville. you can take out or eat in. she concetrates on coffee, fresh baked goods, sandwiches. and an asian cashew chicken salad. On the weekends she offers sausage gravy and freshly made biscuits. My spouse and i tried out the salad. it was excellent. i ate the banana choclate chip muffin. the muffin was moist and you could taste the banana and the chocolate chips. If you want to see what their daily dishes are like, follow her on Facebook. You will even see a short video clip of her sausage gravy and biscuits. She offers wifi for her customers and will even email you your receipt. This is another excellent addition to Ellettsville.

    When the people are lined up outside at 9am on a Saturday morning, you know it's good stuff! Nice place, clean, friendly staff, easy menu on the wall, variety of baked items, coffees and teas... this is a sweet little spot in Ellettsville. A friend told me the biscuits and gravy were incredible, but to arrive early - they only serve them on Fridays and Saturdays. While enjoying breakfast I heard the last biscuit had been ordered... I like my B&G a little more runny (personal preference), but these are quality, homemade and delicious. Free WiFi too!

    The scones are delicious!!! Love the savory flavors in particular, but they're all tasty. The coffee is great too.

    Instead of having to read all the menu of a sandwiches, I just fill out one of their make your own…read moresandwich. You add your size of your wrap. Hot or cold, meat, and cheese. Then all the toppings. So you get your own sandwich that you love! I even liked their tuna salad. And be sure and get a cookie. I couldn't have a cookie cause they didn't have any gluten-free. One reason I go there is they have the gluten-free wrap.

    WHAT I ORDERED vs WHAT I GOT @ ROLY POLY in Bloomington, IN. Freakin ridiculous. I was extremely…read morehungry and still very hungry after I ate it. It was paper thin, lighter than a pancake, hardly anything in it at all. I went out to my car to eat and was beside myself in shock when I took it out of the bag. I literally said out loud, "What is this?" I couldn't believe it. It already took a very long to make and I had only 15 min left of my lunch break to eat and drive back to work so had no time to complain about it. I will be taking these photos into the store next time I work in Bloomington. Utterly ridiculous and this was $7.99 plus tax!! It was like 6in long and about maybe 3-4 in wide and paper thin! And NO, I didn't ask to hold any toppings. I asked AS IS on the menu. That place is a JOKE. I will be writing reviews on this all over. I don't recommend Roly Poly unless you want a toddler size meal and desire to pay a lot for it.

    Wow. What happened? This place I swore by not so long ago has taken a serious nosedive…read more Lunch with the kid again. Fun, right? Nope. They were a bit busy but it didn't seem like a huge crowd today. We sat outside again. I knew what I wanted immediately, and placed our order as soon as our waitress came over to greet us. A cheeseburger for the kid, and a pulled pork sandwich for me. I've never had theirs before. And I never will again. And fries. We got fries. The wait was insane. At least a half hour for very simple dishes. The kid got a tiny burger. Beef and bun. No cheese, no ketchup. I had to ask for cheese. Yes. They messed up a cheese burger. Then there was my pulled pork. It was literally inedible. I've since come to learn that it was not reheated properly, so the goo that covered every bit of meat was fat. It was served cold, for some reason, and the way it was presented on the menu, listed under a picture of some yummy browned wings led me to believe it would be a very different - and HOT- sandwich. The server did offer to take it back, but at that point the meal was ruined for me and I didn't trust them to make anything else, or make it quickly. I made it clear I was very unhappy about such a disgusting sandwich. She took all of 10% off my bill. Better than nothing, but a lot less than I was expecting. if this is how they're doing things now, I'm done with this place. Badly overseasoned fries... cold pulled pork... cheeseburger with no cheese... I mean, come on... and based on what little I caught from people at another table, getting food out seemed to be an issue for them. I'm not sure if any other places nearby that aren't just bars serve decent food, but if they do, you can definitely give this place a hard pass. Yuck.

    I wouldn't exactly call their appetizers "fun size," even though the menu refers to them as "fun…read moresize fun baskets." The portions are massive! I wasn't particularly hungry that day and, as a first-timer at Fat Dan's, I expected a small snack. Nope--what I got was a huge portion, but thankfully, it was delicious. The restaurant was packed since IU had just hosted a football game, so it was loud, and seating was limited and service was lacking. Still, it was a tasty experience overall!
