This breakfast is some of the freshest breakfast I’ve had and enjoyed everything! First off I ordered the Honey Bee Latte and it was really good. It had a nice flavor and I really enjoyed the honey and cinnamon notes in the coffee. I also ordered the Eggs & Grains. I really enjoyed the dish, it felt mediterranean style, and it was really tasty/refreshing. I ordered a biscuit with strawberry jam on the side and it was absolutely delicious. The butter was definitely made fresh, the jam was delicious, and the biscuit was extremely fresh and tasted amazing. The other dishes pictured were ordered in my group and every one of them was amazing as well! I would highly recommend checking this out if you want a fresh breakfast with great coffee!“

“Beautiful restaurant! So chic and comfy. Quick service. Everything in here is so tasty! I had something from the bakery, a Korean sandwich and black coffee, and everything was extremely delicious.

If I could, I'd be in here every day and try out all the menu.“

“yes Indeed love it like the prices“

“Where to even begin?! This is more than an amazing play space and cafe; it’s a place where caregivers can actually get a much needed breather while kids are able to be kids in a safe space. Plus it’s a hub of activity. They are always offering new classes, camps and childcare options. My kiddo took an art class here that was 10/10. They also are very community-minded. They’ve hosted a pantry on-site and offer play days at significantly reduced cost. Amazing people. Amazing atmosphere. Highly recommended GlowWorm!“

“I had a break in on my residence, they stole my moped with wire cutters in my backyard. I combed the Internet and found it being listed on Facebook marketplace and this business is listed for pickups on all stolen goods, I contacted them , and I will let the labor board and immigration authorities determine if they're using under the table tactics and criminals of fugitive status“

“delightful coffee and food options“

“My Dr office is there at Jewish. I will go over to the cafe after an appointment sometimes. Their food is not bad for a hospital. They were in between lunch and dinner when I was in there today. So everything but the grill was closed. The employees are friendly and they keep it clean. Their prices aren't bad.“

“I was in the downtown area on a Saturday morning. While waiting for an office to open, I did a Yelp search for a breakfast hot spot nearby and came across Founders Cafe. I walked in with my family and was immediately impressed with the trendy ambiance. This place has a surprisingly nice menu to choose from considering it is a cafe. There are a number of breakfast sandwiches and paninis to choose from and they all seem so tasty! I decided to order a breakfast burrito and was pleased. It had fresh roasted peppers and onions, which gave it a nice kick. Next time I'm in the downtown area, I'll be sure to try their coffee options.“

“Had an interesting spiced coffee with cloves, cinnamon, ginger and cardamom.
The barista was very sweet and hospitable.
Would love to go back and try spiced cappuccinos and the snacks they had
Paid $3.50 for a spiced black coffee“

“Amazing place! Excellent customer service, delicious food, delightful drinks, and festive atmosphere! I love their menu, and am so grateful for their vegan options and creativity. I love the variety of drinks, the fries were well seasoned and crisp yet fluffy, and the burger was so good! The sauces were so flavorful! love love love. Already can't wait to come back next time I drive through town!“

“This is for the bakery!! I placed my order which was so easy the stuff so was friendly. We got the cake it was done right on time and that is amazing when you have a 5year old birthday party to get to. The cake was amazing, looked amazing and taste as good!!! They did an amazing job! Great team in the baking department!!!“

“Cafe in lobby across from Caesar's S. Indiana front desk. Always clean & bright, there is a selection of pre-made foods, various alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks, including espresso drinks like lattes as well as juice, soda, etc.On the weekends they have an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. It's normally well-attended and food is fresh and looks good. Quick bites to eat in or take-out, saves walking all the way to the casino for a little something. The only place in the casino to get a good specialty coffee. Be aware, they don't allow you to bring anything made here into the casino.Service is always friendly & efficient. Amanda, who works daytime shifts, has always been very helpful & friendly. I've never had a bad service experience here. Even when they couldn't get espresso in for a time due to supply chain issues, they have always been as sad as I am about it.Highly recommend a caramel latte to-go on your way out.“

“Been here only 2 times due to being from out of state, but whenever I am in IN I never miss a chance to go here. The customer service is impeccable, the girls that work there are probably some of the sweetest I have come across in customer service.
The coffee is extremely good as well, keep up the great work guys!“

“Moved to the area a little over a year ago and always wanted to try First Watch but with their hours and our schedule never aligning we never got to go until today. We ordered the million dollar breakfast sandwich and the choose two with the turkey avocado sandwich and the chicken chopped salad. We also got the dragon fruit drink, the honey cruch iced coffee, and the salted caramel doughnuts. Drinks were very good. Food was good except my order was wrong they gave me the Cobb salad and when I told our waitress the issue and the mistake and all she said was that she could bring me some chicken for the salad. I declined because we were already done eating and I didnt see the point of the chicken when they were two completely different Salads and toppings. I don't like blue cheese which was all over my salad so I picked around it and ate what I could and my half sandwich. Other than that the experience was good. Just disappointed and not the happiest with the resolution.“

“Lovely coffee shop! I ordered a seasonal drink which was delightful. The rosemary scone was warmed up by the barista and was delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming and homey, very relaxed. I love the outdoor patio and landscaping, I would love to sit outside next time I come back on a sunny day. Baristas were also very friendly and helpful. I will certainly return and am excited to try other menu items!“

“🔥This place has all the bells and whistles for a bakery! The staff is friendly, the space is spotless, and the food is delicious.“

“We used The Copper Room at Orange Clover for a baby shower for a first time momma to be. I just cannot find the words for how wonderful the experience was. First off, the staff, absolutely phenomenal. Every single person I talked to (I’m sorry I don’t remember names, my memory is lacking currently) was so sweet and helpful. I appreciate every single one of you. Second, the food was perfect and delicious. Third, the room itself was everything I hoped it would be and more. The team working helped us make everything absolutely perfect. I cannot imagine a better place to have an event-from the staff, the food, to the location and the service. Beyond grateful for you all! Thank you so so much! ☺️“

“Student or not, this small university adjunct is perfect for your favorite coffee and pastry. After experiencing incredible service and manners from very kind baristas, I had the best lemon poppy seed muffin of my life with my delicious, creamy latte. There is plenty of seating available with comfortable booths and chaises as well as tables and chairs, with outlet chargers accessible from just about every spot and free open wifi available. Soft jazz plays in the background of a productive and calm atmosphere. Prices are also reasonable, especially in today's economy. Just outdoors, the campus lawn with beautiful brick buildings creates a pleasant scenery - outdoor seating is also available. Highly recommend!“

“How do you tell a great barista ? They make your drinks come true !“

“Great cakes and delicious treats!“

“Stopped by Panera Sunday morning and it wasn’t too busy, which was nice. There was a little strange smell near the entrance, but once inside, everything felt clean and welcoming. The staff was friendly and the service was good.
Panera is always one of my favorite go-to places. Another good visit!“

“I recently got put on a low sodium diet due to heart issues. This is the only place where one of the workers has went out of their way to help me find low sodium options on the menu. Cherish the drive thru casher/order taker googled their low sodium options for me. it has been really hard finding places where I can eat out at. This panara bread will now be one of my go to places. thank you so much!!!“
