  • Sarah Weingarden

Such a cute local bakery and sandwich shop we discovered through Yelp. Menu is online. Staff is super friendly and helpful. They are also taking precautions to protect their staff and customers from transmitting COVID-19. Fabulous food and great atmosphere. We will be back next time we are traveling through.

One of my favorite coffee spots in Indianapolis. Independently and locally owned, delicious sandwiches for breakfast or lunch. Full size sandwiches are for big eaters, and half sandwiches are an option for less voracious appetites. Served with a side. Recommend stopping by if you’re in the area! More

Trying for the first time as we just moved here. The ambience is great! Reminds me of a coffee shop from my college town. The coffee was good - has a kind of dark roast flavor and my grilled cheese was delish! Seems to be homemade bread

Cool local restaurant with a great vibe in a historic building on Fort Benjamin Harrison. They have a number of tasty sandwiches named after famous authors including vegetarian options, all served on their fresh focaccia bread. Upstairs

this is a cute place with decent food. the service is good and the staff seem friendly with each other. the atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. the music in there is LOUD and rotated between relaxing sounding alternative/pop to loud

Love the atmosphere. Great place for some coffee and a bite to eat. My favorite biscuits and gravy ever!! The staff are always so happy to serve and it’s apparent that they are all treated properly and get along well with each other. A

True craftsmanship and pride in their product. Beautiful, hip place on the old Fort Ben. They deliver a hand crafted, tasty product. Service was slow. And they were hard pressed to offer a refill of ice tea. I had half a Vonnegut with

Cool little out-of-the-way coffee/sandwich (breakfast/lunch) shop… hard to find 56th-Ft. Ben …my Sammie is called the “Vonnegut” …get it . It is 2 level, order downstairs (spiral staircase inside) or enter on lower level. …

Neat place to grab a sandwich or salad and they roast their own coffee. We all liked our food. Great place to share a conversation too
