    Eggs Benedict
    Karen C.

    We paid about $40ish for breakfast for 2. Which is a great price nowadays. Plus the portions are good size and the food is delicious. They told us it was about a 20 min on Sunday morning but ended up being less. Our waitress was very pleasant. I love coming to this Yolk it's always clean and a good experience overall.

    We wanted a reasonably quick, no frills place to grab breakfast before heading out of Indy for a weekend getaway. Yolk turned out to be a lovely choice. The server was really friendly and the overall vibe was fun -- bright and cheerful. Beyond that, it delivered like a good breakfast place should. The food was tasty and the coffee good.

    Had a great experience at Yolk City Way, located inside The Alexander Hotel. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality and portion sizes you get. The food was excellent - well-prepared, flavorful, and very filling. Service was also great - friendly, attentive, and efficient. One small warning: come hungry. Portions are generous, and it's easy to over-order if you're not careful! Overall, a fantastic breakfast/brunch spot in Indy. Would definitely come back.

    Irish Cream Latte
    Evon J.

    I had sausages and crapes, Egg whites and bacon. I didn't really like the crapes, didn't like the texture of the crêpes. But everything else was good

    Fantastic breakfast. Only downside they told us 30 minute wait and we waited over a hour. The food came out very fast and was unbelievable . Lot of bang for your buck

    Steak and eggs
    Javier R.

    Food was the worst breakfast I've had in a while. The steak tasted and smelled like it had been sitting in the freezer for too long, and the hash browns were so undercooked they were hard to eat. The waiter was great, but the food definitely missed the mark.

    I placed an order online, food was ready in about 30 minutes. I had the Very Berry French Toast and hickory smoked bacon. It was good. Good customer service, I was greeted when I entered the restaurant. It was clean and full of customers. Next time I want to eat in instead of eating at home.

    Rosemary Molasses Latte
    Stephanie L.

    I so miss this brunch place since I moved from Indy so I try to visit when I'm back in town. I was a little disappointed to learn that they just changed their menu to remove the red velvet French toast - my absolute favorite - but was overjoyed when they still had stuff for it in the back and I was able to get it one last time. I will definitely miss it in future visits but they're still got other great French toast and brunch food in general. I also always love their speciality coffees. I went with the rosemary molasses latte this time and it was so good. My partner got the breakfast burrito which was also a great dish and good to split with the sweetness of the French toast. Our server was great and I really appreciate him going the extra mile to get me my red velvet French toast one more time. I definitely recommend yolk if you're in the area!

    Was told this was the best breakfast spot and it definitely lived up to the hype! The wait was reasonable, the service phenomenal, and the food absolutely delicious. Zero complaints. So glad I found a new favorite on my first visit!

    cheesy grits - huge #yum #ReviewsByRL
    Raena L.

    Just revisited at 12/18/24 (Wed. morning) with some coworkers for a holiday breakfast. Service and food were both good. I had the eggs benedict. I ordered cheesy grits but it arrived with the potatoes and our server did bring my grits, so I actually had both. Couldn't finish al lthegrits - that is a decent sized bowl. I honestly didn't pay too much attention to every one ele's plate, although I did take a pic of my friend's cinnamon bun pancakes (I think?) that looked like pure dessert (and heaven, ha!) Also had coffee, and for that, I know I had several cups and our server was stellar about keeping us filled. #yum #ReviewsByRL

    Pancakes, Nutella Crepe (SS), November French Toast special (Apple bourbon)
    Marijke K.

    If you're looking for a breakfast that's a little bit extra, yolk is the place to go! The portions are very generous and the wait staff was really kind. Went on a Friday morning and it was a laid back vibe but I can only imagine how busy weekends get.

    Cappuccino
    Priscila P.

    The service was good and the staff was friendly. The cappuccino was tasty and well prepared. Unfortunately, the food didn't taste good and was disappointing....

    Chilaquiles Verde
    Carlos J.

    Was visiting for the Royal Rumble in Indy and stopped for breakfast morning of. Got seated very quickly and the place was nice. Blake was our waiter and he was very very personable and fun, also patient with us as we were deciding what to eat. Had the horchata cold brew and it was awesome. For breakfast we had the biscuits and gravy and the chilaquiles. Biscuits could've been better but the gravy tasted good, the salsa on the chilaquiles also needs improvement, did not taste fresh. I still want to give 5 stars because I loved our waiter and the atmosphere at the place, a person behind the bar came to chat with me about wrestling and he was also very cool. Will come back if I'm in the area.

The aesthetic is there. I want to be here. But at your price point, the experience needs to match the atmosphere, and lately there have been a few things quietly chipping away at that. First -- the syrup situation. I shouldn't have to order a specific menu latte just to get a flavored drink. A little flexibility goes a long way in making a customer feel like a guest and not just a transaction. Let me build my drink a little. I'll spend more, I promise. And the pastries, baby. I ordered a croissant and watched it get placed in a bag with a thin sheet of paper like it didn't deserve better. By the time I got home, it had made up its mind to be a different pastry entirely. I know there's a microwave back there -- I've seen it working for the breakfast sandwiches. A warm croissant is a small thing that changes everything. I'm not going anywhere. But I need you to know I notice these things -- because I care about what this place could be. Still yours (for now), A regular.

I know Good Vibes Cafe is known for their boba tea and "croffles," so of course I had to try one of each on my first visit! I love all the punny names of the boba drinks, mine was called "Pinky Swear," and another cute one is "Peach, Don't Kill My Vibe!" The Pinky Swear has a strawberry tea base with peach popping boba, and it's exactly what I order when I get boba at Harmony or Kung Fu Tea, so I knew I was going to like it! The "croffle" (a croissant in the waffle iron) is out-of-this-world delicious! It was the perfect balance of flaky and fluffy, and the Biscoff drizzle and fresh whipped cream made it even better. Now this is definitely not something that you can eat every day, but is a great occasional indulgence. On my most recent visit, I mixed it up and tried a coffee drink this time! I got the Biscoff latte, and it was literally perfect. The cup was lined with Biscoff cookie butter, and the rich espresso balanced out the sweetness and made it impossible to stop drinking. The only thing that would make this latte better would be if it came in a bigger size! One of my favorite things about Good Vibes is the half and half cup, where you can pick a drink for each side of the cup! It's a great way to enjoy everything Good Vibes had to offer without being forced to make a decision between two equally delicious drinks, plus it costs the same as a large drink! What's not to love? I definitely recommend Good Vibes Cafe, and don't be surprised if you see me there when you stop by!

It is a bit challenging to find parking but there are a few spots in front. I parked down the street and walked which is always an option.

It can be quite loud so keep that in mind if you want a quieter reflection time, and maybe take it to go or sit outside. They have various food items but I absolutely LOVE their peanut butter energy balls! In fact that is why I came to this location as this is where the magic happens. They make them here and send them to other Tinker locations! They are the perfect blend of savory and a tad sweet and go super well with their coffee and/or London Fog tea. Yum! I will freely admit to buying all they had on hand, and now can enjoy them at home. Yay! It is a very busy spot so not the friendliest of staff, but assumed they were already hassled from the morning. It was a great spot to meet a friend and enjoy the patio and some tea/coffee.

I also ordered a lemon mint refresher, but they were out of mint so it would just be a lemonade. That was fine and I appreciated how she handled the situation and that she knew what Prufrock did and did not have in stock! She was great at communicating when I walked in that she needed a few minutes and then would be able to help me too. Another time I went with my parents on a late morning Saturday. My mom and I both loved our drinks, but we knew what to order. There were multiple people working behind the counter, but the barista taking orders was not friendly or very helpful on this particular day. My dad did not know what to order and asked what tea is refreshing and is one that the barista would recommend. The barista said that the green tea is really popular, but did not ask whether he wanted it hot or iced or give a recommendation for that. The tea came out hot on a hot day where we planning to walk the Monon and check out other local businesses. To be fair, I did ask him if he wanted me to ask for the drink to be remade or to get him a new one as I had overheard his order and also assumed it would be coming out iced. He said it was fine (but then complained on our walk). This was a bit disappointing. There have been times I have walked out after a few minutes of no acknowledgement from baristas here. It is not a cafe that I would want to sit in and work in as a lot of the space does not look workable. The last time I did come in with papers I planned to read in between appointments, I did not want to put my bag on the floor or my papers on a table because both were dirty. The book page wall has seen better days and would benefit from a revamp. I love the outdoor area though and the can tops are really cool. There is a lot of potential here, but when staff appears like they do not want to be there it makes customers not want to be there either. I would also urge the owners to be more receptive to criticism. The TikTok videos about Prufrock did not influence my review, but it did encourage me to leave my own review based on my own experiences.
