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!

My delicious gluten free egg and sausage breakfast sandwich.

Little Italy Market is an absolute gem in Bloomington. I've lived in Indy for a few years now, but…read morebeing from Chicago and having also lived in Baltimore and San Diego, one thing I really miss is the neighborhood culture those cities have. Each has a Little Italy and other neighborhoods where you can experience the food, traditions, and culture of different communities. That's probably one of my biggest complaints about Indianapolis, there just isn't anything. Then you find this little Italian market tucked away in a Bloomington strip mall. Being Sicilian and Italian, every time I head down to Lake Monroe to take the boat out, Little Italy Market has become a mandatory stop to fill the cooler. The Turkey and the Many Meats are my go-to sandwiches, and they never disappoint. Everything is fresh, the portions are huge, and these are easily some of the best deli sandwiches I've found anywhere in Indiana. I actually find myself craving them when I'm back home in Indy. If I lived in Bloomington, I'd definitely be a regular for the Italian grocery selection too. But for me, the sandwiches are the star of the show. The family running the place is always incredibly friendly, and they're more than happy to add or change anything on a sandwich to make it exactly how you want it. Little Italy Market is one of those locally owned places you hope sticks around forever. Great food, huge sandwiches, friendly people, and a little taste of the Italian neighborhood culture I miss. I'm literally writing this on a Friday morning waiting for noon to roll around so they can open before I head down to the lake. That probably says everything you need to know. Easy 9.3/10 If you're in Bloomington, this place is absolutely worth a stop.

Love the options and supporting the "mom & pop" shop! However, Several products have been expired…read morewhen I've been in there the last two times -summer and fall of 2026. The owner fits the stereotypes, which adds to the experience (the loud tone, lecture & finger pointing was over the top when he asked about the source of my ricotta and mozzarella. I didn't need a lecture about supporting corporate when I was checking out with over $50 of groceries for one meal from him... the bystander college students behind us had their jaws drop and my child was confused to say the least! )

Fat Dan's no matter which location you go to is pretty consistent and also a safe choice…read more I always get the chicago dog and some type of side. The wings are really good. I usually go for the larger order. A few of my firends had the brisket sandwich and they loved it. They also said it was a bit oily and messy, it looked like it... Sometimes Ill get the mini corndogs, but the amount of ketchup they give you is a joke, so be sure to ask for extra in advance. The loaded tatertots is also a good choice to share with a group. Would always come back for something casual. Good lunch spot from the feedback my friends gave me.

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.
