Jag FirerwalkerSeptember 10, 2018Very great student, work from coffee shop place! Benefit coming here is that you start with coffee and crepe and finish with beer- Dan DupreeAugust 13, 2016They make it super difficult just to order. Way to expensive. Every time I come here the food takes 1hr....even for eggs. The people are nice and a window seat is great for people watching.

Daniel GraysonNovember 25, 2017Ok, I am sure there are better reasons to get a crepe, but they come with home fries and the home fries are so so crispy and good.
Stephanie WeiOctober 22, 2018Lots of drink and food options and free WiFi. The Pink Passion smoothie was more sour than sweet. Probably wouldn’t return to study as it can get pretty loud.
Awesome spot for working, or studying. Food is decent, WiFi is fast!
hittin a show the indy? if the weather's nice, grab a cheap drink, sit outside and keep an eye on the dude's in independent gear - they'll be chillin here til the show's about to start...
Diego RufoMarch 24, 2011Savory crepes are great. Salads are made-to-order, and come with the cafe’s unique toasted bread with melted cheese on top. But what makes this place stand out, are their hamburgers & Happy Hour beer. Read more
Cheap beer all the time. Feels like a lot is going on here, and all different kinds of people show up. Had some great conversations with strangers here.
BommyApril 23, 2015New favorite spot for all-day breakfast, CHEAP beer, free wifi, and late hours. Win.
Mike QpitsJuly 11, 2011Used to be not just a great neighborhood café, but one of the best cafés in the city. Now, with the uncaring current owner, super cheap beer, and obnoxious TV screens, it's sometimes bearable if you g
Amanda Van WestOctober 30, 2011We ran into the postelles here before interviewing them for our app and catching their show at Indy. So yeah, great spot for band-watching! And really cheap wine before a gig!
Anna JørgensenOctober 29, 2013Great coffee and several coffees to choose from! Also great breakfast, free wifi and nice people.
Wifi, good food and coffee, opens till 10 (at least on wknds) = Another great place to get work done.- The crepes here are awesome, as is the cheap beer. Nice to sit outside when it's warm enough and you can get a spot!
The breakfast burrito is slightly "off menu" (look at the little chalkboard under the big one). It's very good.- devon andersonSeptember 15, 20152.50 beers and a decent atmosphere. Pretty sweet. Breakfast burritos are now extravagantly priced... ya hate to see that happen.
The breakfast burrito is awesome. Only tough part to swallow is that it used to be $6.50 and now it's $9.50. Sigh.
Perfectly adequate and an easy place to sit and laptop in for a bit. Pretty expensive for what it is though.
The breakfast burrito is solid. Outdoor seating makes the difference.
Great spot for breakfast sandwiches and more. Good crepes if that's your thing.
My home away from home. I live by the breakfast burrito and hazelnut coffee. Welcome to comfort.
Jessica AJune 18, 2014My Alaska savory crepe was great, and the ginger lemonade strong but refreshing!
$3 drafts + great food. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
Great local place: breakfast, crepes, sandwiches, salades, smoothies...

- Danny BocanegraJune 16, 2011The internet connection is fast, cheap coffee and beer, and hipster heaven. What more could you want!?
The Firenze salad is awesome - filling and tasty. Pair with cheap beer for maximum effect.
Pollaio pasta,the closest thing I've been to Collis pasta.
Cee . AFebruary 22, 2011Sundried tomato smoked mozzarella cream cheese. Wow. Too bad their bagels aren't baked in-house. Still pretty good though. Cash only too.
The falafel is really yummy. But order extra sauce on the side.
- Not too crowded. Decent wifi speed and vegetarian selection of food.
