We wanted some dessert in the Indianapolis area. After checking out options near our hotel we found Homemade Ice Cream & Bakery Cafe. We're glad we did. The staff was super friendly and the desserts were amazing. The restaurant was very clean as well.

The people who worked there were nice and the atmosphere was calm, but the food wasn't the best. The chicken croissant tasted like an average deli sandwich and was not worth almost 20$. The late was not good. It tasted like melted coffee ice cream. The color of the coffee was basically milk and did not taste like

Great ice cream and fantastic chocolate chip cookies. Really can't say enough how much I enjoyed this spot. The added bonus, you can get sandwiches and soup here as well. The lobster bisque is really good.

We eat here several times per month and it’s always fantastic! The hot food is delicious (we usually get a 1/2 salad (Asian or BBQ Chix) and 1/2 sandwich (French Dip or Chix Croissant). The baked items are a nice treat too—always grab a few buckeyes on the way out! The staff is super friendly and upbeat. They really strive to ensure you have a pleasant experience. I like sitting by the fireplace or outside overlooking the pond while eating ice cream on a hot summer’s day.

The team here went out of their way to help me get an order to a friend going through a hard time. They were kind, patient and extremely helpful. She had nothing but great things to say about the soup, salads, cookies and ice cream that we ordered.THANK YOU for making her day extra special and for going out of your way to help.

There’s nothing homemade about this place. The pies taste like something you’d get premade from the grocery store. The young man that waited on us was extremely nice. However, it was a bunch of teenage girls working with him and the cook was the only adult I could see. The girls were yelling and acting like they were just hanging out and not working. And look, I’m not one to complain about coffee being too hot but OMG! The coffee they served me from the machine was so friking hot that when I took a sip, I spit it out in the dining area because it burnt my tastebuds off. It was beyond boiling and it hurt really bad. If you go there, know that you’ve been warned!

Every single time I've come in, the desserts are ALWAYS on point!!! This is THE place to go if you're craving a slice of cake! They have homemade ice cream, pies, cakes, cookies, cupcakes and food items as in sandwiches, soups and salads. The Tuscan chicken sandwich is sooo good!! My absolute favorite is the chocolate cake and four layer banana pudding!! I've been in here several times and ordered ALMOST every flavor of cake.

I thoroughly enjoyed the delightful chicken croissant at Homemade Ice Cream & Bakery Café. However, the lobster bisque fell a bit short, lacking the expected flavor punch. Overall, a satisfying experience with room for improvement.

Go for the cakes, come back again for a pie, and then return for the cookies!It is difficult to know where to begin when you walk through the doors. The sweet scent wraps you like a hug from your Grandma or Auntie, and you're instantly transported to another place and time.Looking through each glass case, the cake, pie, cupcake, or cookie looks fresh out the oven - a person can tell the amount of time and love each of these delicious treats has poured into it.Then, if you have the time, you can sit back and enjoy a nibble at one of the comfortable booths, lounge chairs or take advantage of the warm fall weather and retreat outside to the patio, and the relaxing backdrop of the pond.The service was fantastic. My questions were answered almost before I could ask, and I welcomed suggestions from the many choices I had. Worth the trek, worth any wait there might be... enjoy the sweetness!
