Truffle egg toast is sea salty, truffle-oiled, asparagus-topped perfection. Also, if you miss drinking cafe con leche in Europe, the Spanish latte here is a worthy substitute.
I have been coming here since they opened and still have a hard time choosing between the delicious vegetarian Erin and the equally delicious but not so vegetarian roast beef.
If ur a straight red blooded American male, u seriously need to peep this place during the lunch rush. It has the highest % influx of hot chicks to come into a restaurant that I've ever scene n indy..
Kayla JohnsonApril 20, 2015I only order the egg toast with truffle order because I know it's delicious. Everything I've tried from what friends have ordered has been mediocre.
Peruse the breakfast menu. Even if you stray from the brunch and breakfast, be sure to get the bacon. You won't regret it
Michael LawrenceMay 1, 2014Chicken Curry Salad sandwich...... if they went 7 bucks and i didn't have blood sugar issues I could eat them in bulk their so good.
This is the official Firebelly meal choice and recommendation! Good food, consistent, great price! And the dinner is the best in broadripple!
SarahSeptember 1, 2014Surprisingly expensive, but very good food. The pomme frites were a pleasant surprise - yum!
Dana ParkerAugust 15, 2014They offer a really wide brunch selection, and their beet salad is amazing.
Angel SamMay 6, 2014The pomme frites with basil aioli is the best!! O n Def try their b.a.l.t....soooo good!!!
Mary Beth Marfia MullensMarch 21, 2015Great food, but tip for ordering to-go: call ahead, DON'T order takeout just walking in, it takes forever! Took me 30 minutes to get my food, yikes!
Jeff LongDecember 2, 2012If you're looking for a warm, no-refill $5 orange juice accompanied by snobby front counter "hospitality," you're at the right place!
Air-Tan USAAugust 15, 2012Hands down the BEST Fries or Pomme-frites around ! Love the After Taste dinner menu as well :)
Not the Pomme Frites -- get the TRUFFLE FRITES. Don't make that mistake, you'll be missing out on the worlds greatest French fries.
You can bring your dog in the summer and sit on the patio. They will even bring out water. Also, get the frites.
Figure out what you want before you get to the register so the people with IQs above 100 behind you don't have to wait an hour to order.
Kristen NealJune 14, 2011This place is always packed and there is never enough seating. Consider sharing a table with strangers and you just might make new friends! Read more- Fantastic sparkling cocktails! Frittes! And the creme of Indy chefs mark and deidre's place! It's a treasure!
If there is a long line and you have an easy, small order--Call it in--right now. By the time you get to the counter it will be ready to pick up.- Michael LawrenceMay 1, 2014Expensive, you could go bankrupt paying weight-watchers/and buying the food here. Yes it's expensive, indulgent low cal on most pure GUILT. and yet you could go man vs food on this place (ie broke)
Pomme Frittes are by far a staple to anyone of their dishes!- You could put the Honey Teragon Dressing on anything and it would be tasty. Try it with your frittes
One of the best brunch spots in the midwest. One tip...get everything and you can't go wrong.
Great little spot. Can't go wrong with a side order of Frittes...LOVED the truffle frittes the last time I was in Indy!
- Not much of a café, but more of a bistro. Whatever though right... French words equal fancy feast to this backwater town either way.
Kyle HodgesDecember 11, 2010Love their sandwich selection and iced tea. Deserts are also a must try.
Brian McGreerApril 15, 2012Don't try to save a table when the line is long, you're just making it worse for everyone.
Get the truffle frites and substitute the basil aioli.. Ridiculous!!
Its hard to not pick a special, but I love the waffle piled high w walnuts and bananas on the regular menu- You can't lose with the CB&G if you love heart attack on a plate.
Get the curried chicken salad on a wheat baguette. Tasty- Peter LavrisMay 11, 2013Food was mediocre. Their chef has no idea how to prepare food, he calls himself a chef because he can put pomegranate seeds in champagne. Disgusting. Food was horrible, table sticky, service poor
You've got to try the Truffle Chick Peas during dinner!
Simon KisslerApril 13, 2010Fantastic food and great atmosphere. The fries (pomme frites) are sublime.
