First visit. Not DH's vibe (aka no hamburgers), but I loved it, and he was taking me out, so I win, the end. We had the fondue app, and I had the goat cheese with (perfectly thin) apple slices and pistachios and honey, and it was served with something like apple butter. It was delicious, and now I'm potentially going to have to work the recipe out for home use. There was no cola-type beverage, save for bottled Mexican Coke. Made for an easy choice, and the server brought out a carafe of cool water for us.The servers were lovely, the space was calm...it truly was my idea of a perfect evening out.Oh, except the booths. Boy, were they hard! I'm filing that under "over 50 issues", though. ?Vegetarian options: Note that most have cheese, so not VEGAN, but I saw mostly vegetarian choices.Parking: Not many spaces at restaurant, but it was so calm, we were able to get a space right in front.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp over to the side, with at least one handicapped accessible parking space.

Love the ski lodge vibe and service! Great place for an easy cup of Joe or some nicer wine selections

$10 for a coffee that ended up being wrong :( while I love supporting local shops, I don’t think I can justify the price tag no matter how good the drink is.

Definitely the least impressive of the offerings from Small Victories. To those who love the coffee here - great! But know that their other coffee options (Coat Check & Provider) are even better. The website vs Google maps have been confusing and list different opening hours. And it’s hard to know when their many different menus are available (brunch vs evening) especially when the website says they close at 5. Going in for lunch will give you only 3 options for food (all overpriced - I agree with previous reviews). All in all … Is it a coffee shop? Is it a wine bar? Is it a brunch place? No one knows!

One of the cozier coffeeshops in Indy. Studious space and friendly baristas.

I was meeting a friend here and had never been there before. The atmosphere was so cozy and cute with the local art decor. The building was a former fire station and you somehow still get that feel while also feeling welcomed and comfortable. The staff were great in helping me choose a drink and trust me when I say I had the best chai I’ve ever had in my life there. Not too sweet and a beautiful foam image - it was a 10/10. The prices were very reasonable, too. I didn’t try and alcoholic beverages or food but I promise I’ll be back!

We went to get engagement photos done here, and they were very acomidating, especially for being open. We got the chocolate latte and the hot chocolate. Both were very delicious and would recommend. The building is an old firehouse, which was a cool look.

Such a cute coffee shop which is a bar + coffee place. I went in rather early and it was absolutely empty but beautiful ambience. Locally owned by owners who also own sister coffee shops in Indy - Provider and Coat Check coffee, Chalet makes their sauces in house, self roasts their coffee and uses local milk only. The menu is limited to keep up their quality and similar taste.Chalet is famous for their coffees and was proved in minutes with customers dropping by just for to-go mochas, ginger lattes and drip coffee.My Americano tasted great and I enjoyed the casual atmosphere.It looked like a lot of locals poured in and everyone was super friendly.

$12 for this tiny breakfast sandwich. I know times are tough, but come on. The sandwich, a black coffee, with tax and meager tip came out to $18 dollars. Quite possibly the most expensive breakfast I’ve had for what I got here in town.

Super cozy place with fabulous drinks and great atmosphere. Service was top notch. You have to order at the counter.

I live in the neighborhood and have been a strong supporter of Chalet but have been am very disappointed that food items have been so scarce the last month, while waiting for the kitchen to be completed. we are starting to find other places to gather, where there are food options and good coffee. It may be a bit before we return. Not sure what the thought was with the decision to not continue with Landlocked baked goods until the kitchen was completed.

My favorite coffee shop! Gotta go for a signature latte or chai if it's your first time in, but all the drinks are delicious. The consistency and quality of the drinks are worth the slightly higher price.

Enjoyed their delicious drinks regularly until a Friday afternoon a couple months ago when I was ignored by staff while they chatted with another customer (who had already been served). After waiting patiently for three minutes while they talked, I gave up and left. I so much still wanted the incredible coffee drink, I went back in to try again. This time I interrupted the ongoing conversation with an "excuse me" and requested service. Both the servers returned to the conversation and after about a minute finally asked me for my order. They were clearly annoyed by me. I haven't returned.

Fantastic atmosphere. Completely has the feeling of being at a ski lodge, just without skis, snow, and altitude. Would
