A wonderful choice for people with dietary restrictions. A friend and I went to this cafe recently (I am gluten, dairy, and egg free and she has no dietary restrictions) and we both had a lovely breakfast

Came here in the morning before a conference and was immediately seated at the counter. Drip coffee is self serve and I had the yogurt granola and fruit which was fresh and tasty accompanied by a croissant and jam - which was also fresh and...delicious. Prices are a bit high, $28 with tip.More

Grabbed lunch here on a beautiful afternoon. Menu was creative. Two of us each had a soup and salad. Both tasty and relatively healthy. Service was excellent. Price moderate. Charming atmosphere.

We’ve been here several times and it’s always great! They have the best gluten free toast, as well as omelets. The coffee bar is genius! You may have a wait, but it’s worth it.

Outstanding food. The double major was an excellent omelette and the cinnamon toast really topped it off! If you get a chance have the snickerdoodle coffee to top it off. Thanks for the excellent meal!

My coworkers and I went to lunch her during a conference. It’s a great location in downtown Indianapolis within easy walking distance to many things. The food was great and I love that they serve breakfast all day. Additionally, they have a self serve coffee...bar so that was nice to have access too! Service was friendly and nice, and pricing was competitive.More

A delightful breakfast menu with one of my Hoosier staples browning up as a kid - Cinnamon toast. But the menu selection is traditional breakfast inspired beyond the diner to elegance. Staff were dynamic and friendly. The location is near all the downtown hotels so...very convenient. Shhh. It’s my secret - don’t tell!More

We had a lovely breakfast/brunch experience here with zero wait on a Friday morning. The staff were friendly and quick. And the food options were delicious. There are many vegetarian options. The Phat Rabbit is a gigantic and tasty sandwich. Breakfast potatoes were also quite...good.More

An easy downtown brunch winner, amazing staff that was very quick to set our big group up for a table seating seven, Connor turned up to take care of us and made sure we were doing well the entire time. Excellent server! No surprise this...place holds up to all discerning diet needs, plenty to treat all sorts, the menu is huge! I noticed it slightly odd the prices were tad high for the size and calories brought out yet no free options to customize; charger two to three dollars for each little ingredient add on seems quite fierce on the wallet. And why the rabbit food added as a forced default to every dish? I personally enjoyed the arugula with everything, wasn't going to fault, but the odd outcry from the other adults at the table changed up my own opinions. I should be no problem to throw down some fruit slices, oatmeal, anything to avoid throwing away fancy grass. Maybe we could have swapped the greens for better but the menu nor Connor mentioned other options, sad to see so many quick to toss executive lettuce. My Cuban breakfast, avocado, egg, black beans, rice, white cheddar, sour cream, and spinach-jalapeño pesto struck all the right chords. I love a good morning mess with all the quality proteins, southern flavors, and variety of textures. Others were plenty happy with their dishes, minus the cow food, big winners being the burger and cinnamon sugar sourdough toast, overall this seems to slide right under The Garden Table for my favorite capital brunch bases.More

DELICIOUS! The staff were friendly and helped us find the perfect food for us. We barely waited for it to come out and it was amazing! I recommend the Cuban breakfast and the Patawich. Also you have to grab some cinnamon toast for the table,...it was perfect to share.More

This was a perfect lunch stop while at a conference. It was very busy, but I was super impressed that the wait was only 15 minutes. The sandwich and soup was delicious. I would definitely recommend!

Four of us met for breakfast on a fall Sunday morning and were seated after a short wait. Our orders included a couple of smoked salmon on bagels and a couple of "omelets you can't refuse" with coffee and OJ all around. The outcome -...all were fully satisfied and ready to return for another meal - but only when hungry again.More

Patachou does not offer "fountain" drinks, rather it brings Coke, Diet Coke and Sprite in a can to your table with a glass of ice. Just like at home. This is a great restaurant.
