The place is right off a railroad on the south end of Irvington and easily overlooked. But you must stop! The baristas were super kind and quick! The vibe was perfect. What a hidden gem! I cannot wait to being all my people here for coffee dates!!

Have you guys tried out Anecdote Coffee yet? It's so cute! You have to stop in next time you're…read moreclose. I know they have 2 locations. One right off Main Street in Beech Grove and one in Southport off Madison. I went to the Beech Grove location. I've passed by it multiple times and had a few extra minutes one day to pop in and try their coffee. There is parking right out front and also street parking on the side of the building as well. I was greeted right away when I walked in and told her it was my first time. She said they make their caramel sauce in house and recommened I try a salted caramel latte. I took her advice and it was delicious! The caramel had a different flavor than your regular coffee shops who use the syrups from the pump bottles. It was rich and had a buttery goodness flavor. I would recommend trying it if you aren't sure what to get! I'll definitely be back!

While in Beech Grove we had time for a cup of coffee…read more We were showing our dog and are not familiar with Beech Grove so we checked Yelp. We saw a Starbucks but wanted local ownership. Anecdote coffee was within walking distance. It was just what we wanted. The shop is on Main Street. We were greeted immediately by a very personable and friendly couple. They were the owners. You order at the front counter where a display of bakery goods catch your attention. They had a whoopi pie made out of oatmeal cookies and marshmallow cream. I had to pass, but I am. Still thinking how good it looked We got a blueberry muffin and coffee They asked if we wanted to stay or go. We were staying and she said we had to have mug so we could sit and enjoy. They heated the muffin. It was fresh and good. Plenty of Berries and crumb topping. Although we sat in the front I noticed there were several comfortable conversation areas. It was just the respite we needed. As we left they wished us luck showing our dog. Nice touch Will we go back? You betcha.

I love this coffee shop and sadly I'm not able to make it here very often since they had to change…read moretheir hours. I was able to get my Neidhammer fix for my birthday and it did not disappoint! They have a house made chai syrup and different syrups (pistachio specifically) than most places do. It was my first time to sit and enjoy pastries and crepes. The almond croissant did not disappoint and the light, airiness and flavors took me back to the streets of Paris. The crepe took awhile to come out but it was delicious and my friend said it was worth the wait. I have never had a bad experience when visiting and the staff are always helpful and smiling and joking. Add this to your list of coffee places to check out!

Great coffee shop on East Washington street…read more I came here and got a lavender latte to go. It was so good. The perfect ratio of espresso to milk. The baristas were very friendly and made my order quick. I love the building. It's so cozy inside. There's a lot of local art on the wall. There's also an area with toys of young kids.

I ordered the Iced Vanilla Latte, and since it was my first visit, they even offered me a taste of their homemade chai -- and WOW... DELICIOUS! Everything was so good, and the service was truly one of a kind. I also loved the space -- there are tons of seating options, local art for sale, and every corner had something new to discover. A fantastic coffee shop in Indianapolis that absolutely lived up to the hype!

This near east side coffeehouse is almost hidden and if you weren't looking for it, you just might…read moremiss it! They have really limited street parking as well as a few spots behind the store that the barista assured me were for Rabble customers. Very much a spot that the locals are frequenting but with welcoming and progressive vibes. I asked for a dirty chai and it was warm, slightly spicy and the coffee shot tasted smooth and complimented the tea flavors nicely. They have some other really interesting non-coffee drinks on the menu too, so I'm definitely going to have to go back. Especially since I noticed Dear Mom is right next door! Cool murals in the adjacent alley, so make sure to see those if you like street art.

I'm a regular here and I love this place. they have a really nice selection of items including,…read moredonuts, kolaches, sandwiches, coffees, mixed sodas, bubble teas, and my favorite lately the acai bowl. I have yet to have something I didn't like and I regularly get free donut holes if I'm hanging around afrer the end of donut rush hours. The staff is always super friendly and they have nice seating options. For people that live in and around the area it's a nice walk or bike ride to it with plenty of bike racks to lock to near the deli.

To start they have a non compete with the Lincoln square pancake house down the street so they can't have eggs or sausage on any of their stuff. So I ordered the breakfast sandwich thinking naturally it would have it on there, nope. Secondly, the meat that was on there the bacon and ham was extremely low quality meat. The only reason I didn't give them a lower rating is the guy was super nice and was apologetic. Even gave me a gluten free donut for free which was nice of him. Overall would never come back but appreciated the customer service.

Everything down to the finest details about our lunch was so wonderful, that it's hard to narrow down for brevity. The setting, the decor, the exceptional service, the food and the tea and their presentation...perfect. So lovely. A few of us have food allergies, and they were easily accommodated for. They have a nice selection of gluten free options, and what we sampled was delicious. The girls were all so tickled with their Princess Tea lunch. They received crowns, and we couldn't help but notice that each girl received a color that matched their outfit. Having a selection of finger sandwiches and little sweet treats thrilled them just as much as having pots of tea to sample from their pretty little teacups. Even the smallest details were tended to. We enjoyed it so much, we quickly agreed to making this a regular girl date spot.

Some places just have that "let's stay for one more drink" kind of energy…read more Tick Tock Lounge was supposed to be a relaxing afternoon stop, and before we knew it, we'd settled in for hours. We grabbed a table outside and watched the place slowly fill up. Even as it got busier, our waitress somehow never skipped a beat. She was juggling a full section, recommending menu favorites, and even mixed up a drink for me when I couldn't decide what I wanted. Those are the servers you remember. Let's talk about that Bloody Mary... I've seen Bloody Marys that came with a celery stalk. This one came with what felt like an entire appetizer sampler balanced on top. Bacon, cheese, olives, pepperoni...if you leave hungry after finishing one of these, that's on you. Bloody Mary Overachievement Meter: (possibly qualifies as brunch.) The burger completely lived up to the hype. Crispy edges, juicy center, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The hand-dipped chicken fingers were every bit as good, and the fries became dangerous the second they met the homemade ranch. (Yes...get the ranch.) Ranch Dunkability Meter: 9.8/10. I'd happily dip "just one more fry" about seventeen times. Inside, you'll find live music, TVs with whatever game is on, and a crowd that somehow makes you feel like you've been stopping in for years. It's casual, welcoming, and exactly what you hope a neighborhood tavern will be. Parking can be a little tricky depending on the time of day, but it's absolutely worth circling the block once if you have to.

We came on a Saturday night and was seated immediately. Service was super quick and friendly…read more Inside had plenty of seating with condiments on the table. It's got a western ish feel to it with plenty of TVs with games showing. I ordered the All American Steak burger with all toppings available and pepper jack cheese. It did not disappoint. For $11 for everything you see here???? That's an amazing deal. The pepper jack was also had some good kick to it which I especially liked. This is a repeat for sure. Edited to say the Bloody Mary comes with a whole stalk of celery, a skewer of olives/cheese/pepperoni, and tater tots. It's massive and truly like a meal all by itself.

New juicery? Yes, please! It's incredibly hard to consume all of the vegetable and fruit servings…read moreyou're supposed to have in one day, and when I have succeeded, it's probably because I've had a cold-pressed juice. Seriously! One juice is MULTIPLE servings of both! I walked in and the owner passionately explained all their juices and let me try all of them to make my decision a bit easier. So nice of him! I ordered the "Green with Envy" juice and it has: 1.5 apples, 2 heads of romaine, 1/4 cucumber, 1/4 celery and 1/4 bunch of kale. WOW. Feelin' clean over here. The shop itself is new as of a month or so ago and serves kombucha, coffee (and I believe tea?) in addition to their cold-pressed juices. They didn't have any food that I saw. There are a few tables for people to sit down and work. The owner mentioned that they're currently trying to rebrand to 317 juice so are awaiting a few changes until that name is officially up and running. Stay tuned for them and definitely check them out!

Super new juicery in town! Stopped in to try the flavors and they've only been open a few weeks…read more The space has so much potential and fits so well with the Fountain Square vibe. The owner is extremely passionate about her business and how they want to expand. They offer four juice flavors currently and all recipes are original. The Carrot Bliss was by far my favorite and could be a great breakfast drink as it's also flavored with orange. Organic, vegan and they also have coffee and teas. Expansions could include smoothies (YUM), a juice bar so people can customize and activities like yoga. This would also be a great work space! Stop in and show them some love.

She's not only a good floral designer, but I can't imagine what her flower gardens look like. She filled them full with flowers. Rock of Etches has sand engraved pottery. Had to buy my dad a Hoosiers mug. They had Pacers, Purdue, I U mugs. They had other neat pieces of pottery too. They had so many different small businesses there. Food, gifts, soaps, candles, signs you name it. Will definitely be back!! I was surprised how much stuff I found. Going to be wearing my new Indiana earrings with my Pacers shirt for the big game!
