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 !

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!

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.

My delicious gluten free egg and sausage breakfast sandwich.

I picked this provider because the reviews suggested that she was good and her pictures also showed…read morethat she has talent in unique cake designs at a very fair price. BUT Communication: I was having trouble getting information out of her and had to ask several questions to get an answer. 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.

Very fast and great customer service!! The cake was amazing!! Very delicious and beautifully made…read more Definitely recommend

Excellent service and quality product reasonably priced easy in and out parking for street parking…read moreand the dining room is really neat with different chairs and boutique, decorations staff, which really accommodating. I learned that at this location you do not have to give your first name for an order as I did in the Terre Haute store, they insisted on having my first name in TH - they did not insisted on giving them my name at this Bloomington. OK she said no we don't need that. We never ask for that so very odd. The same company different policies. The donut is scrumptious. The maple pecan is what I got. It is really good fresh quality made throughout the day until they close. It's worth a try if you've never tried a parlor donut.

Parlor doughnuts is one of my go to study spots as I live just down the street. Great vibe in there…read moreand a great place to study, they have a small room with a good amount of tables and usually can get a spot. Their donuts are good I like the variety of flavors but nothing too special. However, the minis with raspberry filling are the best things ever. I would eat them everyday if I could. Their coffee is good but average, I wish it was a little stronger. The energizers are a nice addition to the menu, the tropical one was a nice flavor. The service could be much better. Employees seem to hate their jobs and are not very friendly to be honest. The mini donuts are whats giving this place a 4 star from me

First time going today and everything was amazing!…read more We ordered the chicken arepa, the pabellón arepa, and three different tequenos: Venezuelan llanero cheese wrapped in dough and fried as well as guava and jalapeños tequenos. Each were very flavorful and the dough was perfect. I personally enjoyed the chicken arepa the most. We were both very pleased with our meals. The Venezuelan cheese however was not my favorite cheese ever.. so I might ask for it on the side so that it doesn't ruin your whole arepa/sandwich just in case you feel the same. The service was very accommodating and pleasant. The ambiance was clean and decorated very nicely. We will certainly be back for more!

Amazing traditional Venezuelan bakery, sandwiches , sweets, and coffee. We tried pastelitos,…read moreempanadas, and desserts. They serve the Cafe Vida Divina coffees here, got to try one as the taste great and good for my health and energy boost. These bake goods are all home made in-house and very fresh. Super friendly service from the owner herself. So good we doubled our order to take more home and another coffee to-go. Make sure to order the fresh avocado sauce and the garlic sauces to dips. The fruit punch and aguapanella were refreshing on the hot day were were eating here. Lastly, this is very easy to access as it is on a main streets, a bike path, on the bus line, and a bus stop right in front. No excuses not to enjoy what we just did.

I love unique ice cream flavours, and there are plenty at Ale's. They carry dozens of Mexican ice…read morecream and sorbet flavours, some of which will be familiar if you're used to the typical American flavours (vanilla, caramel, cotton candy, peanut butter), some which are adventurous (queso fresco, elote, various tropical fruits, just to name a few), and plenty in between. They also have paletas (Mexican popsicles), aguas frescas, flavoured cappuccino, crepes, tortas and more sweet and savoury Mexican snacks. I've had tons of gourmet ice cream, and this was up there with the best of them. I wanted to try one of the less common Mexican flavours but lots sounded good, and they let me sample a few. I sampled the ron con pasas/eggnog with raisins and queso fresco, and both were really good but I decided to get a scoop of queso fresco. I expected it to be like a cheesecake flavour but it was a little different in a way that's hard to put my finger on, so I can only advise you give it a try if you're curious. Besides the flavour being very interesting, the ice cream itself was fantastically creamy. Their homemade waffle cone was also very good. I also got esquites and horchata while I was there. The esquites cup was pretty good but didn't particularly stand out to me. I would advise mixing it a little before eating so you're not getting spoonfuls of mayo off the top with the first few bites. The horchata was great - smooth flavour with lots of cinnamon. The shop is very nicely decorated. There are a few tables and even a swing inside and outside. It looked clean inside. The people were very nice! I would love to come back even though it's across town! I would be interested in trying out their other desserts but it'll be hard to pass up on that ice cream.

The crepes are my FAVORITE item on the menu! The ice cream flavors are interesting - I haven't…read morefound one that I love yet though. The store is quite small but this isn't unusual for an ice cream shop.
