REVIEWS OF Café Patachou IN Indiana

Adam Grant

Food is never bad but lacks finishing flavors and textures that make the food truly enjoyable. The coffee is good. The price is a bit high considering the food doesn't quite shine flavor and texture wise

Kcdmgirl

Every time I'm in or around the Indiannapolis Area and I need breakfast, I always come here. The staff are super nice and very attentive, the pancakes and yoghurt is absolutely to die for and it's all at a really good price too! The atmosphere is very welcoming and modern, seriously if you get the chance drop on in, you don't want to miss out!

Kai Williams

Great breakfast and lunch spot, right downtown in the middle of everything. Awesome gluten free brownie.

I came down to Indianapolis for the weekend and the sign of "Radically Better Coffee" across from a Starbucks no less caught my attention. I'm pretty broke as a college student so I just intended to check out the place. No room for a 10 dollar meal for me. When I walked in I thought I saw a generic cafe in the city. Open across from Starbucks. Progressive and creative while being homey. Typical fare. I was pleasantly surprised by the seating and the decor. It meshes very well and doesn't just try to pander to being modern. I ordered a simple coffee and decided to change my mind and get a bigger size. I already had my wallet out to pay a bit extra (25 cents), but they upgraded me for free. What's more, they offerred me fresh half and half even though the counter had some citing freshness. This is the definition of customer service. They clearly value their customers greatly and their positive disposition lifts my mood. The coffee was very good as well. Starbucks is right across the street but they certainly know how to compete. Their coffee is a very good blend of bitterness with sweet. Great service, great environment. I'll be sure to stop by every time I come by, even if only for coffee.

Marian Martin

If you live in Indy or a close by area and haven't visited one of these locations check them out. The food is amazing, it's fresh, tastes great and I'll give them an A for presentation as well. Breakfast and lunch are the go tos here, anything you order is great, the avocado toast and the hippie with the Benz are my staples.

james fischer

Great food and service

Bryan Henchey

Amazing food!! Probably the best chicken salad sandwich I've ever had. Staff were excellent as well.

Bitter Behemoth

Breakfast and lunch as long as they are open. Many vegan and gluten free options. I tried the bread, to my surprise is was better than most gluten filled bread. They buy it from a local business named Native. Been here nearly every time we visit Indy and never had a bad experience.

Lisa Dickey

I had the Cuban Breakfast and it was delicious. The jalapeño pesto gave it just the right amount of flavor without to much heat.

Heather B

Try the toast with cinnamon and sugar!

Alyssa Neuhauser

Definitely recommend the Cuban bowl!! So flavorful with a vegan option, or an option to add sausage! Solid mimosa too!

Sanket Desai

Coffee is self serve. Not a big fan of self serve but it was tasting good.

Jason Honan

Good food, great location for me, managed to be fast despite how busy they were.

Roger Holder

Love it... good food and service!

brad russell

It's a great locally owned place to take out of town visitors.

Maya Halley

When I went we had an amazing waiter who helped us improve upon our already amazing dishes. I ordered the Cuban breakfast and it was so so delicious. Our waiter suggested I added chorizo and I highly suggest it! I didn't order them at the time but the mimosas look delicious with a piece of fruit! I'll be back again soon!

ivan Gonzalez

This place has been built with love and passion by a mother towards ther children and to support local farmers. Very cozy place and nice staff perfect.

Heather Hovis

This place was excellent! From the self serve coffee bar to the service and food, all were superb. I went out of my comfort zone and had the sweet corn cakes. I sure am glad that I did. The cakes were amazing. I also appreciate the gluten free, vegan and sustainable options. Best breakfast place I have been to in a long time.

Chad Stahl

Great service and food, nice location

Brian Mullery

The Omelette You Can't Refuse...don't refuse it

Alex Kitay

The food was delicious. Go for the omelettes. The sour dough toast with blueberry jelly was yum. House blend coffee was smooth. Good service, too.

Renee Hart

Cute cafe environment with amazing customer service! I asked for an additional topping on a sandwich and they forgot it so I told them and they gave me a whole new sandwich for free even though I said it was fine and wasn't mad at all. I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't get charged for it. They were so great and insisted I have a new sandwich. Both were delicious! Thank you so much!

William P

This place is simply fantastic. I was in Indianapolis on a business trip for a weekend and found it on my first day for breakfast. I usually like to find different places to eat on my business trips in order to get a diverse experience of a new city, but I went back the next two mornings for breakfast because the food was so good. Highly recommend

Animae Stormborn

Amazing!! We found this place while in town for the Harry Potter wizard's unite festival, and the food is fantastic! The sourdough toast is the things that dreams are made of! The eggs were done perfectly, I have never had such a well done over easy egg. Our waitress was incredibly nice, and took great care of us. We will come back whenever we are in town!!

Moksh Chitkara

Good food, great service, and fun vibe. Just a little pricey for what you get.

Aron Parker

Here visiting from Florida and found this place on Google... the unlimited coffee bar is brilliant and it's great coffee! I ordered something not on the menu, eggs, potatoes and bacon. My wife had the bacon Broken Yolk sandwich and loved it. My kids had the French toast and said it was awesome.

Dana Aycock

Great place to go for brunch. I ordered an omelette with a simple salad and coffee. Everything tasted fresh and arrived in a timely manner. The service was great. Even though the place was packed, our drinks and order were taken quickly. We did not have to wait long for our food. Our waitress was nice and friendly. I also enjoyed the atmosphere. Nice inviting place. Not extremely easy to see from the street, but not too difficult to find. A couple of things I did not like: The tables are a little more close together than I like. I felt like I was sitting on top of couple seated next to us and could hear their entire conversation. Another thing - it wasn't a dealbreaker for me because I was seated very close to the coffee, but you do have to get your own coffee. What bothered me the most about this was the fact I had to squeeze by the table sitting so close us to get the coffee. I felt like I had to disrupt them anytime I wanted to get up. For seating further away, I could also see how this could be obnoxious. However, overall great place to go for food. I would recommend.

Nathan Plouff

Had an excellent breakfast today, I'd like to thank our waiter Jeremy F for his outstanding service and recommendations! Very professional and excellent personally!!!

C Worden

Good breakfast stop downtown. The waffle and omelette were good. The waiter was friendly. They brought the wrong kind of toast with the omelette but my husband didn't mind and ate the cinnamon toast instead. I have no doubt that they would have quickly corrected the mistake if we'd asked. They have a help yourself coffee bar which is ok until you're in the middle of eating and wish you had someone come around to top off the coffee but instead you have to get up and get it yourself. But if that's the only complaint, it's a pretty good meal.

Lewes Morgans

Great coffee, excellent food, and happy people doing the work. As a tip to all “non-locals”, you can pick which kind of bread you want used for the cinnamon toast, and requesting extra cinnamon is never a problem! Just an all-around great breakfast/lunch spot. Very good and inventive breakfast with wide choices and excellent service. A bit of a wait but worth it. Coffee while waiting.

James Tanner

Great food. Great service. The Cuban breakfast rocks. The coffee is good.

Anjelica Seibert

A group of friends and I wanted some where new to try for brunch and decided here was the place. We all loved the food and the great atmosphere! Our waitress was super friendly and she was a ton of help when we had questions about food. It was the perfect celebrating new moms brunch spot for our group outing! I had the peach, blueberry smoothie and BLT with fresh mozzarella.

Kirsten Tharp

The coffee bar was a nice option but rather overpriced if you're thinking of having 2 + people enjoying coffee - 3.99 per person if I remember correctly. So, we just got water and went across to the starbucks when we were done. I got the California Dreamer Omlette. It was REALLY good, actually. My husband didn't care for the gluten-free bread.

J LeFaive

I ate here 4 different times during a recent visit to Indy. There were great menu options so I had to keep going back to try. The gluten free options were tasty and the service was on point every time I was there. Great bottomless coffee options each day too.

Christina Gates

Good food and fast service at lunchtime. We had a fairly large group and once we told our server that we were on a schedule, he stepped right up to make sure everything was timely and delicious! Coconut creme coffee was amazing and the salmon bagel was a great lunch option!

Stokes Lyon

I was very impressed... Food is amazing and staff was phenomenal. See why it's so busy!

Zaliya Mallard

Such a great place! I would be back if I'm in the area.

Whitney Zuver

Super pricey. More of a niche menu. Server was terrible. You have to get your own coffee. I'd you're seated outside, that means you have to weave through people and open the door without burning yourself or someone else. Over priced on most items.

Crystal Komacsar

Super cute place. The coffee is actually coffee. I've been looking for a decent caffeine kick and I sure found it. Very very tasty carrot cake!

Sean Wilson

I genuinely enjoyed it. Pretty cool place for a one off type event. Is fairly busy and I would say a little upscale and pricey for a breakfast. No fountain drinks and coffee is self serve which is pretty cool and helps out the servers. Food is of the different variety but was good. You can tell the ingredients are upscale and the omelette I had was airy and fluffy with very little salt or grease. Good place to eat on the lighter side.

Tim Virnig

Best coffee near the convention center and delicious breakfast with thick fresh toasted bread and homemade jam. Busy place but always worth the wait.

Srishti Khurana

Gluten-free waffles and bread were awesome always.

alekhya nair

Waffles were lighter than air!

Collin Barnwell

Amazing food and atmosphere. Get the Cuban Breakfast!

Ty Richart

Breakfast was phenomenal. The French toast is to die for! Staff was helpful and quite friendly.

Ben Pearson

Restaurant is a bit loud. Service and food was just ok.

kenneth rhem

Food here is great. Healthy options abound along with meaty fare if it's what you want.

Charita Petrina

We ended up not eating brunch. My brother had heard great things about it so we decided to try it out. The biggest problem was we couldn't find anything to eat that appealed--we could have eaten _something_ but I don't want to just settle when I go out, I wanted to enjoy it. There were many folks happily eating, so I'm sure it was just not the right place for us. For example, I have never been to a breakfast and lunch place that didn't serve pancakes.

Everett Gossard

Ordered an omelet with cheddar, bacon, and potatoes accompanied by an arugula salad and cinnamon toast. The omelet was better than most omelets I have ordered in restaurants. The eggs were prepared well and the filling was in good proportion to the eggs. I’m usually never quite satisfied with any omelet preparation. A perfect omelet is a moat elusive creature.

Jason Bowers

Seriously good food and super fast serve time (if you're in a hurry - very helpful for the lunch crowd). Great looking people too

Gonzalo Tucker

Food tastes fresh and the Menu is definitely unique. Omelettes come with a choice of arugula salad or fruit, which is a nice change from the usual options. Very relaxed and inviting atmosphere.

Robina J

I only come here during GenCon, and the wait for breakfast is usually very lengthy. However, the Broken Yolks are so yum, as is the cinnamon toast. Self-serve coffee bar is great too!

Rene Taylor

This restaurant was recommended for breakfast: best recommendation. Cinnamon toast lived up to the hype. Berries and yogurt with toast, perfect light breakfast. You made need to wait to be seated if you have a party of 5 or larger. But the wait is worth it. Delicious food with gluten free options.

Monty M

Self serve coffee bar. Good food. Great service. Simple nice decor and atmosphere.

Lauren Martinez

Great breakfast at the Washington St. location. Going to try at least two more Martha Hoover restaurants soon! The Croissant French Toast was insanely good, light and flavorful, a perfect amount w/out putting me into a sugar coma! My daughter loved the waffle grilled cheese, while hubby enjoyed eggs w/horseradish along a side of arugula. Kudos to excellent service by Drew

Jenna Henry

When I took the first bites of my food, I was sad because I knew I’d eat it all and it wouldn’t last forever. I could eat the Cuban Breakfast every single day. Food was amazing, coffee was delicious, and service was awesome. Can’t wait to come back!

Candace Batten

Delicious. Wait staff & kitchen are on it! Always a good experience before attending IRT for a Sunday matinee.

Jason Shen

Too many choices for omelette. Bottomless coffee was also good. You can try out different types.

Sarah Triplett

Amazing gluten free food. Fantastic service as well.

Myra Raake

Service was good and the food was great. The gluten free waffles were amazing and didn't taste GF at all. We had to wait about half an hour so we had coffee at the Starbucks right there while we waited.

Ian Halverson

Dillan was an absolutely super bar host. The coffee and omelet were delicious. I’m only in town for 3 days but I think I’ll revisit Café Patachou!

Jace X

Really really good food. Very friendly, attentive staff. Exactly what you would want in a cafe. We love this place.

Amber Muendel

Staff is very welcoming, coffee is off the charts and the food is top notch. Jeremy was a terrific server, and when he suggested cinnamon sugar toast I was all in. It's a Hoosier breakfast tradition for most of us. Definitely worth a visit. It was not too busy when we were there, but it can be packed. Especially in the warmer months.

Amberli Smith

It was good but a little pricey

Dan Marino

Love Patachou! Cinnamon toast is heavenly and honestly the reason I visit. I have never had a bad meal in the dozens of times I've been there. Omelette of the day is usually creative and worth ordering - I rarely look to the regular menu anymore.

Jim Hurley

This is always a good choice if you're looking for a nice place to get breakfast. The food is excellent while the staff are kind and efficient. My only complaint is that on Sundays, they do not open until 8 am, which can sometimes be inconvenient if you're trying to get your day started.

Maziar Momeni

Second time there and it was just as frightful. Got there for lunch/brunch and the crowds must have just left. Staff still moving at good speeds and in an upbeat mood. Cuban breakfast was delicious, but what it made above and beyond good was the jalapeno sauce! So good! Also, chocolate cake!!!!

WiseManWhite

A nice place to go eat. Other than omletes and waffles, this is more of a lunch food type of place. There is plenty of seating and the food is made pretty quickly. There's also a self serving coffee bar so that you don't have to worry about waiting for the server to fill up your cup. I feel that the food and prices do not match each other.

Mike Rawlins

Very smooth, busy and nicely run coffee shop.. we will be back for sure

Charles Davis

Best fast, fresh lunch spot in downtown Indy for a quick and healthy bite! Their vegan and vegetarian options are outstanding.

Swetha Mohan

Beautiful place and the food was good. We ordered vegan Cuban breakfast and waffle for the kid which was excellent. My husband ordered Californian dreamer which he felt was not fully cooked as per his standards

Timon Sweere

Not really good for picky eaters and long waits for food/servers

Frank Rizzo

Good and fresh food but very small portions on most dishes, so it's overpriced. They have great coffee, the caramel flavored coffee is delicious. The service is friendly. Definitely would recommend trying this place.

Tiffany Adkins

Great food and good service

Lindsey Mark

Food was decent and it definitely caters to folks that are gluten-free which is nice and the service was good. Drinks were not bad, tried the mimosa. Why only 3 stars? The experience isn’t thought through. I made a mistake ordering an iced coffee to-go and ended up with a cup and lid, no straw. I get the environmental impact straws, but come with an adequate solution like a lid that you can drink out of or paper ones. I ended up with a soupy luke warm coffee, which was not enjoyable. Also, annoying that the menu touts, “tell a human” not a follower. In this situation they don’t enable the staff to problem solve, because there are no tools to address the issue.

rod kehmeier

Great food and good selection. Great service also.

Ashley Rasnic

Delicious omelet and amazing cinnamon toast!

Breanne Barger

Such a great cafe. Finally ordered the blueberry crumble coffee and it was so good. Also ordered the vegan omelette with hummus, black beans, tofu and arugula and it was tasty. Usually order the soup and half chicken salad sandwich. Definitely a favorite.

Karen Pollard

Wow, amazing breakfast. Really needed that coffee.

Anant Bilolikar

A must visit place for breakfast. Just a block away from Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument. Quite a few vegetarian and vegan choices. We ordered cauliflour fried rice (rice made from cauliflower) and tomato soup. A very very tasty dish.

Laura Vimboule

The food here is incredible! I fell in love with the Overachiever omelette and had it 3 times in one week.

yun-yi lin

Professional staff. Great food with a several vegan options. I can see why people love it

Mike Schaefer

I love this place! Definitely make sure I go everytime I'm in Indy! Great welcoming staff, very friendly, amazing service and food! Great atmosphere and very good location!

Jeremy Spears

The most amazing brunch spot I've ever experienced! In a three day weekend, I went there three times and had the omelette of the day every time with the cinnamon toast, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Great outdoor seating with views of downtown Indy.

Lauren Ashley

Patachou is always delicious and fun. I particularly love their coffee selection and quality! Really tasty omelettes and healthy menu.

Geena W

Expensive cafeteria food. After first visit I wasn't impressed. Food was very bland. I went back next day hoping it was better and it wasn't.

A Quinn

Food was amazing! Omelettes are light and fluffy, grilled pumpkin bread is heavenly. Can't forget to mention the sourdough toast/cinnamon toast. Not a coffee drinker, but the coffee bar was really cool. Service was incredible as well.

Gavin Marsh

Very good food. Above average gluten-free options. Highly recommend the gluten-free pumpkin bread. On the downside, a bit pricy so be prepared to spend some money.

joe stierhoff

Really fresh good food

Sheila Burns-Owens

Was the best thing about Indianapolis. The breakfast was delicious and the banana nut coffee was OUTSTANDING. I went back the next day for their caramel coffee!

Ashley Lightner

I love this place. Incredible food especially the breakfast options the French toast is beyond amazing as well as The Omelette options. The service staff is incredibly helpful and very accommodating. If there is a wait, that is the usual but it's usually less than they say because the service is fabulously fast

Ammgad Hussein

Awesome place for relaxing some coffee and soups. Check out there special. The only reason why it's gets a 4/5 is because it's price/expensive.

Nick D. Johanson

Pretty busy place on a Sunday late morning but definitely delicious. Waffles were quite nicely done with quality flavors. The bread was incredible and the eggs with the bacon on top was delicious. Their coffee was not good at all though, despite the signs outside. Maybe it was an off day. And the chocolate chip cookie was loaded with other stuff which was good but nothing to write home about. Also way too crispy. Probably the only chocolate chip cookie I didn't finish. Otherwise, I was pretty overall satisfied.

Peter Bell

Best breakfast in town. Proper coffee (Starbucks is next door and there's never anyone in there). Filter coffee included with your meal (as much as you like). Great atmosphere, good value, well cooked food and great service. Highly recommended

Sue Gunn

Everything was great except the free coffee and chocolate cake. Those were not good.

Lyle Miller

Food is amazing. And love the atmosphere! Staff and customer service were phenomy!

Austin Graff

When asked for recommendations, Cafe Patachou made everyone's list. It's a large restaurant in downtown that also has a coffee stand inside for those wanting coffee on the go. My wife and I went here for lattes and it was the best latte we had in Indy. Highly recommend!

Matthew Faux

Great breakfast selection, unlimited house brew coffee, and a nice atmosphere. Jimmy, our waiter, was super friendly and very helpful. The food was delicious, I built my own omelette though there were preselected ones as well.

José Paulo Neuparth Vieira Fernandes

Lovely Space, full of light. Good Breakfasts available.

Vaidehi Patel

Nice place, great service. Love their coffee station. Will definitely go again!

Matt Foy

We have been here multiple times. Consistent great food and service. The omelets are excellent.

Doug Kane

We visited Cafe Patachou on a busy Saturday morning. We had a party of six. Our experience was everything you would hope for while dining out. We had only a brief wait to be seated. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Our orders came in a timely manner and were all correct. The food was great, the coffee was delicious, and the cinnamon toast is the bomb!

Corie Dixon

Booked a catering order with Leah and she made everything so easy. The food was amazing and nicely plated. I will definitely recommend to anyone looking for something casual for a business lunch.

MichaelO

Good service, good food for a change of pace place

Sarah Clair

Very relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Great food! I had the make your own omelette with cinnamon toast. I had been craving Cinnabon and the toast was a GREAT alternative! Must try if you are in town. We were visiting from Cincinnati

Stefani Mason

We come in for GenCon every year and make sure that we eat here at least once! They have great food and great customer service!

Samantha K

Service was great. Food was tasty and affordable!

Justin Bowen

Great food and great service.

Cameron Ehteshami

Good food and good service!

Amanda Elkins

We don't come to the city much, nevertheless in the morning. However, when we do we always make a point to stop in here. I love the concept of the coffee bar and the many options of omelettes, each delicious in their own way. Reasonably priced and most of the food is made in house. My husband got the BLT and it was aaaamazing, he also got the spinach jalepeno pesto. I could seriously live off that stuff alone, good heavens! I had the Hippie in a Benz Omelette and it was very good. I do think their should have been just a little more feta in it, though, really would've tied it all together. I also think sauteing the mushrooms in some butter and getting a nice sear on them would do wonders flavor wise! Overall another great experience!

Annie Wood

A bustling place that's worth the wait! The brunch was delicious and they've got a great selection of tea and coffee.

Alan Golden

Lively place with good food and service. Great for lunch.

D. Joe Kaufman

Café Patachou is one of Indy's best brunch restaurants. The food is the highest quality of it's kind. For those new to Indy, or those looking for something worth remembering, this place is a must visit. The cinnamon toast is highly recommended. Side note: the gluten free bread is perfect.

Daniel Thomas

I'm not a frufru coffee or brunch guy, my wife is. She LOVES this place, I thought it was fine. It is loud, but the food is really good. BLT on sourdough was excellent. I'm being picky here: they only have single serving cans of soda ($1.95) no fountain. I think that markup is crazy with no refills. TL;DR: I would come back, it's pretty good.

Eve Keller

I'm not a fan but defintely not in the majority. It's always packed. I've never had an amazing experience with food or service. Surprising for easy breakfast food. Stop trying so hard.

Candace Roberson

My waiter was extremely nice and helpful (Dylan, not sure on the spelling). It has a perfect location of both city viewing and sitting outdoors. I had the Cuban breakfast and it was stellar. I did find out that I could add many things to it and I highly recommend adding another egg and possibly another meat, like bacon or ham. I also consumed the kids French toast meal and that was excellent (especially as a little dessert size for breakfast). The crisp on the edges of the bread was a wonderful touch. My fruit cup consisted of apple, pineapple, strawberry, and orange. The coffee was fresh and delightful. I will definitely be coming back again for at minimum, the breakfast. I can only imagine that lunch would be delectable

Ralf Schemmann

Simply the best breakfast cafe in Indianapolis, no doubt about it. Expect a bit of a queue in conventions mornings like during GenCon.

John Bonitz

Had a fantastic brunch here. I read the history on their website and loved what the owner said about creating a place with the kinds of foods she prepares for her children, supporting local farmers, etc. I had an omelette of my own design plus green tea (real!). It was delicious and lovely. Service was very good. They were accommodating of my food allergies. One omission from my order was quickly remedied. Very busy. Not too terribly loud. Definitely going back here! So grateful to the founder and all the talented people who are working so hard to keep this place going, doing good. Big love to you all.

Emma Williamson

Breakfast and lunch are the go tos here, anything you order is great, the avocado toast and the hippie with the Benz are my staples. It's a goal next time to try something new, but I keep going back to those 2 items. Bloody Mary's are amazing here, it's such an interesting flavor and I want to ask what's in it, but I'm worried it's a company secret

Mikah Powell

I like this place a lot, but every time I come here the coffee (multiple of them) always either tastes burnt or just... weird? I don’t know. Not the greatest at all in the city. Good is always good (ALWAYS), but also at times some of the staff just seem like they’re over their jobs and as if you’re coming in is just too much for them (some staff, not all).

Sarah West

Perahaps too trendy for their own good, not sure how fresh or tasty any of it really is. :/

Mike Gao

Had breakfast here quite a while back. Sunday morning and it was a line up but turned out worth the wait. Must check out this place if you stay in downtown Indy

Belinda Chan

The food and service were excellent. I had one of the broken yolk dishes and that was delicious. Geoff our server was very attentive and prompt.

Kelsey Morrison

They were incredibly busy when I was there but i was still treated very well and my food came out in a timely manner. Everyone was so nice, the food was delicious, and vegan/vegetarian options to boot! Highly recommend!

Carlos Gerardo Urias

Such a great place to have breakfast. Very good food and nice ambiance !!!

M W

We were visiting Indianapolis for the weekend and came here because of the reviews I had read, and it did not fall short of those reviews! We liked the downtown location because we were staying right up the road and it had a great vibe as soon as we walked in. Our waiter was super friendly, helpful, and efficient. My husband and I ordered the omelettes which were very unique, cooked perfectly, and tasty. My husband also ordered the French toast which was divine. My youngest daughter had the waffles which were big and fluffy and a generous portion. Even the sides that came with our omelettes, fresh fruit or greens, were delicious and fresh. My goodness, the sourdough toast with cinnamon sugar was amazing!! Needless to say we WILL be back when we’re in town again.

E B

Delicious food and great variety for those with allergies or restrictions. Wait can be a bit long so make sure to get there early. Love the outdoor seating and great views of the war memorial. Went twice during my recent stay

David Lueck

I was looking for gluten-free options near the convention center. Cafe Patachou was the perfect match! Very gluten-friendly menu, friendly service and great food.

Lena McKinney

Dont get the smoked salmon. The croissant French toast was amazing. Staff and management were a pleasure to engage with

John Jansen

This place has very good food but the coffee was self serve so it lost one star.

Debbie Hennessey

Always love this place for lunch. And I always get the BLT on wheat toast, no onion, with a side of fruit! Everything else on the menu looks equally delicious, but I love the thick bacon and fresh mozzarella!!!YUMMY! Service is always good, but the wait for a table can be long during the lunch hour if there is a large convention going on at the convention center. But that's ok, it is just across the street... it makes sense!

Mike Wainwright

Had the waffle with fruit bowl melody it was just right. The service was excellent, very friendly staff. The coffee bar is unique and fun.

warren rogers III

One of my new Indy favorites. Great food, Great atmosphere and good energy in the restaurant...meaning warm and friendly smiles. The servers have an attitude of being glad you are eating at their place. They were very helpful with menu suggestions. Really enjoyed the experience, and looking forward to returning!

2006crb

A little expensive but great food. Coffee was ok.

Carol Buszkiewicz

OUTSTANDING. Cinnamon Toast is a "must have "

Bobby Neeb

Seriously great coffee. My fave is the Broken Yolk Sandwich. The service here is always snappy and the food quality is at the highest level. Of course, it's a breakfast, brunch, lunch place so don't expect fine dining. But the omelets are super creative and top notch fresh ingredients. Some will be amazed by the croissant french toast. Vegan options and even an interesting cauliflower rice stir fry...it looks good but I have never tried it.

Rachel Kellett

I really wanted to like this place but the food was just not good. Very bland, too much arugula on everything, toast wasn’t toasted, etc. However, our server, Jeremy, was fantastic and our very apologetic. A shame the food wasn’t good.

Deron Ballenger

The GF waffle and omelette was awesome! Great service!

Gretchen Taylor

Amazing vegan and gluten free choices with an already expansive menu. Great service to wonderful environment?

Chrissy Lugibihl

Great outside dining option. Friendly wait staff. Fantastic food.

Alicia Groff

Excellent food and service

Dan Mossor

OMG I'm going to eat breakfast here more often! A gluten free waffle that had a glutenous taste and texture is a hard one to find - in fact, this was my first waffle in a very, very long time. The service was awesome, the coffee was awesome, the food was awesome - simply put, Café Patachou is an awesome place for breakfast.

Tai Gunter

Excellent place for a lunch. Food was delicious - I ordered an omelette and was really happy with it. Horseradish gave it great flavor as our server promised. My only gripe is that you have to get your own coffee. We sat outside and having to go inside for a coffee refill several times during your meal defeats the purpose of going to a restaurant. The coffee is free and high quality, but I would have been happy to pay for the coffee to have it served and refilled.

Mark M

Fantastic Cafe located a block from our Hotel. Food tastes fresh and the Menu is definitely unique. Prices are a little more than other places but you get what you pay for. The service was absolutely top notch as well. If I lived here this would be a regular place of mine to eat

David Pearce

Staff was friendly and helpful. Ice cream was top notch. Super tasty

Philip Huynh

Quick brunch/lunch spot thats great if you want to sit and eat real quick. Food is fresh and tastes great.

Denise Lani Pascual

I always order (& devour) the tomato artichoke soup and croissants. Having been to Europe, the croissants here are on par. I always get a few to share with my boys. The focus of the food - in my opinion - is fresh, local w/ an emphasis on simple preparations that let the quality if the ingredients shine. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It's a great place for brunch/lunch, w/ the loaded toast and omletes being great choices that satisfy. Service is always kind, efficient, and sometimes entertaining. :-) This is definitely a gem of a cafe in Indy.

Popular breakfast and brunch place in Indy. Omelettes come with a choice of arugula salad or fruit, which is a nice change from the usual options. The food was delicious, great toast! I liked the self serve coffee station with 5 or 6 selections. Good, personable service. Just right! I highly recommend.

The food was amazing, the service was fast didn’t even use all the time at the meter. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed it. The best breakfast your going to get in this area, and bang for your buck. The hot chocolate was A+. We are energized to take on the day. We will be back for sure.

I had the combination half sandwich and half soup. I opted for the chicken salad sandwich in a croissant and the tomato artichoke soup. For the side, I chose the chips, which were decent. My sandwich was quite good on the croissant. I'm glad I went with it. My soup was a little on the salty side, but was tasty and very tomatoey, if you know what I mean. Service was great. I didn't wait too long for my order to arrive. My waitress was very attentive and friendly. Also, in terms of the menu, they do have quite a selection to choose from. The normal portion sizes look filling enough as I looked at what other guests around me have ordered. Overall, my experience was good here. Worth a try!

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice. The omelette was very tasty and the strawberry jam for the toast was phenomenal. Look forward to going back.

Cafe Patachou is conveniently located right downtown near the government center. They are open till 3pm. Their offerings are all very unique and well thought out. It's a casual place with an upscale feel. They have a variety of coffees that are serve yourself - my favorite was the banana bread flavor - yummy! I opted for the crescent french toast with the side of fruit. Excellent but smallish portion. Could have put away 2 of them easily. I'd say that prices are moderately high. My french toast and coffee came to just over $18, if memory serves me correctly however, this may be par for the course for city fare.

Good food. Good service. Overpriced

The coffee is great, and you can tell a lot of work goes into the sourcing of the food. The location downtown can be a little crowded, but the service moves very fast. Vegan and vegetarian options also abound. I've heard folks rave about the croissant french toast and the cinnamon toast here but havent tried either myself. I have had multiple omelettes here and all were excellent. The cuban breakfast was my favorite. The spinach jalepeno pesto it's served with makes it 5 star category.
