    My first visit at this location and I don't like it as well as some of the other locations. The employees weren't especially friendly, and my smoothie didn't seem quite right. I ordered the Açaí Berry Boost, which is one of my favorites, but it was watery and didn't taste like it usually does. I ordered a Southwest breakfast wrap with salsa on the side. They forgot my salsa but I didn't notice until I got down the road and it wasn't worth going back to get it. The dining area was nice and clean.

    Love their smoothies! Love that they have a drive thru as well as place to sit down inside, as for a healthy option this is new. My husband is a fan of their sandwiches and they have lots of breakfast options as well. We have loved this addition to the neighborhood and try to go often. Definitely recommend it if you have t tried it yet!

    Happy National smoothie day! I got the bahama mama smoothie with protein added and it's delicious, the flavor is yum and the texture is so smooth even with the added protein. Great curbside service and order ahead via their app!!

    I ordered the detox island green smoothie and it was delicious! It tasted really green, so if you're not a fan of kale -- be advised LOL. My kale hating partner did not enjoy it at all. He ordered the açaí berry smoothie and it was so sweet and yummy! The smoothie itself is pretty big, and at $7 a piece, it's a really great price for how much you get. We also ordered the hummus veggie wrap. I'm really not sure how I felt about it, it was good enough to finish eating but I won't order it again.

    Kiwi Quencher

    We decided to come here for a light lunch. I had the Smoky Grilled Cheese that has mozzarella, bacon, tomato on it- it was tasty and hot. I also got the Kiwi Quencher smoothie which was light and tasty. If you order a food item it does take some money off of the smoothie and you do get a side- I got some baked lays. I can see myself coming back again and again to get some light lunch items and smoothies. So why 4 stars- I tried coming here when they opened up and go through the drive thru but no one ever came on the speaker and the line didn't move for about 5 minutes. On this trip I did say I wanted a different sandwich and they must have pressed the wrong thing but the mix up was fine in the end.

    I was anxiously awaiting this location to open and it did not disappoint. The staff were super friendly. I had the detox island green smoothie. It was refreshing and good overall, but I don't know if I'd order that flavor again. Even with the sweetness of the fruit, it was still a little too much green flavor for me. I don't know if there's different sizes or not but it was A LOT of smoothie. The peanut butter crunch banana flatbread was good as well.

    One of my longtime go-to brunch spots in Indy has been Milktooth, and I'm happy to report the…read morerecent transition to "Arleen's" hasn't changed the things I've always loved about the place. Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in awhile.

First it took over 10 minutes for our order to be taken while everyone seated after us was ordering drinks and food. Then we finally ordered, an espresso martini with vodka and a glass of cava with a splash of orange juice. Drinks came out... full mimosa and the espresso martini with sake, yet nobody told us they didn't have vodka until we ordered a second round. Preceded to order breakfast... waffle, slab bacon, eggs, toast, and another slab bacon. Food came, and was fine except we got the slab bacon and then some burnt to a crisp thin cut bacon. Just average at best experience, and won't be coming back. Plus add in 20% gratuity and 3% cc charge. Unfortunately we will pass.

The price for each plate was $18 plus a $2 can of coke and a tip they didn't deserve brought our total to a little over $40. The eggs were flavorless and literally had no seasoning. I did appreciate that the sausage patties weren't greasy. That was about the only good thing. The decor looked like they took whatever thrift stores couldn't sell with no particular theme. Funny enough, we went out for breakfast a few days later to a DIFFERENT PLACE and for the SAME PRICE got way more food, better quality food, better presentation, full table service, friendly service, great atmosphere, and an overall wonderful experience. Overall, I would not recommend this place. We left feeling like we got ripped off and I could have made the same thing better at home.
