“The store was clean and staff were friendly.
I ordered the large pink sugar cookies and the large chocolate chip cookies.
They were consistent in size and decorated beautifully. They were fresh, warm and delicious!
I ordered the 4 pack at basically $4.75 each
Cookies worth the price 💗🤎”

“Got the mackerel. It was slightly blackened and so very delicious. 6 of us and it still just 120 with tip. Highly recommend. I'm allergic to ginger and they helped me work around that when ordering.”

“The best authentic New York bagels in the Mid-West, possibly the US! Served warm, and they just melt in your mouth. I bring them up to Indy from Bloomington, and I'm super excited with the news Ed is opening a location in Zionsville, where I now live. ❤️”

“My time at michael’s uptown Café was wonderful very chill and elegant my food was so delicious and the crème brûlée to die for overall It’s an amazing restaurant to enjoy an amazing meal and chill with friends and family”

Fun times for sure and great food..can't beat that!”

“cheap snacks and smiling faces! oh ya! The coffee is great too!”

“If you know, you know — Mother Bear’s Pizza in Bloomington is legendary. Our go‑to order was always the deep‑dish pepperoni with extra sauce, and I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten hundreds of them over the years. Nothing else tastes quite like it. It’s one of those places that becomes part of your life story — great food, great memories, and a place you never forget.”

“Absolutely amazing food and top tier customer service! The deserts are delicious and they have a great selection of toppings for the potatoes. The owners really go above and beyond!”

“We decided to try Hoosier Seoulmate for dinner. We came in after 4ish. We were seated immediately. We ordered Bibimbap and Spicy Seafood Noodles. Service was quick. Food was piping hot and absolutely fantastic. Portion sizes were generous. Staff members were super friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back.”

“good food, good prices, great service, they are always so kind and friendly.”

“Fantastic food, drinks and staff! Keep up the great work!”

“My favorite dessert is their cookie or brownie Sundae! I could eat them every day! Always perfect!”

“ordered a 10 inch deep dish for lunch to snack on while reading my homework! The coffee was strong but tasty, and the pizza was 🔥 as always!”

“Best coffee in Bloomington.”

“Beautiful, spacious modern decor. Impressed by the esthetic from the moment of entering. Food was excellent. Got the baby beet salad. Very good, but I think the beets (fewer perhaps) should’ve been chopped into smaller pieces with more strawberries and greenery. Very filling. I had the roasted eggplant for my entree. Wonderfully seasoned, served over a bed of white rice. I would definitely get it again. My desert choice was the blueberry cheesecake. Scrumptious! The staff was very friendly and efficient. Will definitely go back. Nice outdoor patio area as well. Thumbs up!”

“absolutely fabulous place and wonderful people”

“We love C3. It’s our go to girls hangout.”

“This was my first visit to Asuka, recommended by my sister, and I was very pleased with the quality of the food and service! I loved the food, and Nate was very friendly, attentive, made excellent suggestions, and cleared our space promptly when we were done! Because of the hospitality shown by your server, I will be sure to come back next time I roll into town! Thank you for the excellent time!”

“Fantastic ramen inside a casual and relaxed environment. 5/5”

“Very good food I had the beer cheese burger and my husband had the beer cheese steak. The fries were awesome . Our waitress was doing some kind of challenge and sung I’m a little teapot for us. Had a lot of fun here. Very fun date night place. Sophia was our wonderful waitress and deserves a raise!”

“The food was amazing and the service was top notch. We're from out of town and also haven't had Indian food before, so didn't know what to expect. We brought our two toddlers with us. The kids were a little chaotic and we broke a glass. The staff were so kind about it. We're looking forward to going back once the kids are older!”

“Nashville location was perfect for a gluten free birthday meal and drinks!! Try the Pink Pony and dip platter! Huge selection of tequilas. Julia and Shawn were personable and timely!”

“Everything was delicious! Definitely recommend.”

“Great food and atmosphere.!”

“The best Asian restaurant in Southside Indianapolis.”

“Great steaks 🥩 Great service”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Judy’s Kitchen has the best Orange Chicken with huge portions! It is so hot and fresh! 10/10 recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“try this place today absolutely love it”

“This place is a miracle. The food taste better than fancy 5 star restaurants, even when its 1 in the morning on a monday. I am very thankful to have a place to eat late since I work nigjt shift. Mark and Dottie made sure I was taken care of. My food came out hot and fresh and I never had to wait around for re fills or check. They are very welcoming and friendly here. Best French toast in town.”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“I really like this place. If they don't have a game they usually can order it for you. The prices are sometimes a little bit higher than you might find online, but when you buy in person, you're getting out of the house and you can make a day of it and you're supporting a much-needed small business in Bloomington!”

“In my opinion this is the best Burger King in town. They seem to take the time to make the food correctly, even when ordering a simple burger or nuggets kids meals, it just seems to taste better. Highly recommend.”

“Dunkin Donuts in Bloomington Indiana sucks! They don't understand English. They will give you the wrong donuts. They sell stale donuts. When you get the wrong donuts through the drive thru and get home to find they screwed up your order they are rude and ill-mannered about fixing THEIR mistake. They actually want you to drive back their mistake so they can resale the donuts to another unsuspecting customer. You don't know where their donuts have been since they break the law by reselling these donuts people return to them. They don't have a sign at the drive thru, saying what kinds of donuts they have, So you have to describe them. Since they don't speak proper English they guess at what you are ordering. I don't know how they got powdered sugar from me saying chocolate icing. When you call them you can expect the run around and rudeness. Trust me when I say there are better gas station and grocery store donuts in Bloomington and from now on that is where I will get my donuts.”

“The woman manager with brown hair first shift I believe is incredible. She was super helpful to me and she is beyond kind. She is always hard working and kind. Very polite. The parking lot here can be a little congested and difficult but my food is always fresh and as long as that manager is working it's fast pace and food is warm and delivery is quick.”

“I love the staff and atmosphere here! They always go the extra mile to take care of their customers.”

“Two Stick's is an absolute treat. I was introduced to it by a colleague, and dropped in once to try it- and let me tell you, it was totally worth it! I am not a morning person, but I find myself planning early morning visits just to see what new menu item I can try. I don't prefer sweet menu items (and my colleague who got some sweet orders wasn't a fan), but the savoury items absolutely kick ass. Their Zucchini Pumpkin Goat Cheese Hand Pies are an delicious experience with every bite, and the fun part is you get to see them making more in the back. While I did mention the smaller sweet items (either too sweet or bready for my personal taste but still get over by 9am on working days) were not that good, their whole cakes (non slice versions) are really worth trying. I do not have photos to add to my review right now (because everything gets over too soon) but I'm planning to visit again soon (for those amazing hand pies) and will try to get some shots on here.

Service is friendly and as fast as 2 counters can accommodate, so you won't find yourself in a line for longer than 10 minutes if you're lucky.”

“I feel safe trying anything here. I’m trying things here that are totally new to me and the worst thing I’ve had was wonderful. I recommend going and try something new to you!”

“Went out to dinner with my family and my sister’s family for her 40th birthday tonight & we had a wonderful experience! The staff were all very kind and accommodating, especially with the cake I brought! Our waiter, Kyle, was exceptional! He was incredibly attentive, friendly, kind, and just happy, which made our first time here such an enjoyable experience! The food and the atmosphere were both great as well!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I absolutely enjoyed our time at Oliver's. This winery has been on my list for several years and it did not disappoint. Their landscaping, facilities, and wines are wonderful. Their staff is very kind and knowledgeable. We did the wine tasting and picnic experience, and I highly recommend both. Went home with new favorites!”

“Food was delicious! First time ever going to a hot pot. I could’ve used a little bit more explanation at the beginning. and don’t worry, you will not leave hungry! And don’t over order because you have to finish most of what you have on your plate plates and bowls or you get an extra charge. We also ordered sushi and that was a lot of food! But delicious! Will be back but now we are not amateurs.”

“the apricotter was my favorite out of the flights! a very nice interior and good music, was a very nice experience”

“Thank you for hosting our party yesterday. It was so fun and easy and relaxed! Everyone raved about the mochi muffins.”

“You won't find more authentic chinese in the entire state of IN, maybe entire midwest. Go there and bring a Mandarin speaking friend w you to order the food! Otherwise you're just ordering American style Chinese food. They take personal orders from an unspoken menu if ordered from in Mandarin. That is where you get the legit amazing food.
Service is non-existent to off-putting but you just need to ignore that here and know about going in.”

“They have good food and there fast. Breadsticks are always hot and fresh also delicious 😋”

“1st, your atmosphere is wonderful, but exuberant fellow patrons made conversation difficult. WORTH IT every way! My husband, son & I savored every morsel & the wonderful food eased our spirits. And I just found a word re: our table person, Shahada, royalty. She is radiant.”

“Excellent quality of drink every time and even better people. This is hands down the best Kung Fu Tea establishment I have been to. Super consistent and always super friendly. Can not praise this store and the people here enough.”

“Thank you for hosting our party yesterday. It was so fun and easy and relaxed! Everyone raved about the mochi muffins.”

“This past Sunday, a group of 19 from various parts of IN and MI, gathered to celebrate a family members 60th birthday. Cloverleaf was amazing in many ways as we took over the back of the restaurant. A team served everyone’s fresh food at the same time. Customer service was so awesome and the food was yummy also.”

“Our absolute go-to Chinese restaurant in Bloomington. The food is perfect every time, and the staff is incredibly kind and inviting. Can’t recommend this place enough!”

“Financial Analyst-Benjah Raphael I am extremely satisfied with all the help BENJAH RAPHAEL rendered me every step of the way. He have a good understanding of all the processes and are always receptive to my needs.”

“Loved the food and good vibes 💯”

“Love the vibe in Sleepers! Friendly staff, great drinks. Always stop in when I can.”

“I absolutely love this Cafe! They have the best gluten free food in Bloomington. if you haven't been, I highly recommend them!”

“I came back to dave’s this year after not going since they opened. Heather and Danielle are absolutely phenomenal managers and keep things running amazingly. They were both so patient with us since I have a lot of questions, and I truly got the best meal because of it. The food is SO good, the chicken is tender, and the spice is worth the pain. Also, the slushie is extremely underrated. The strawberry and cream one was really good.

After going to all the chicken places in town, I can confidently say that Dave’s has the best workers, best service, and best chicken. They put their all into the chicken and I can taste it.”

“A classy, hidden gem that Bloomington has needed for quite a while. Superbly crafted cocktails using fresh juices and sometimes the Flavour Blaster or Ripple, highly trained staff combines to elevate your craft cocktail experience in Bloomington.”

“Amazing music, beer and people! Highly recommend”

“Korea Restaurant has a pretty predictable but large menu of gimbap, various soups, bulgogi, bibimbap, hotpot, KFC, teriyaki, and more, with some Japanese-style dishes in addition to the Korean. This restaurant, like the others on this street, is in a converted house, and the environment is comfortable and unpretentious. They had K-pop music videos playing on a TV in the dining room. There was an older man and a woman serving together; the woman was very sweet, the man came off as quite serious.
I ordered the tofu hot stone bibimbap which also came with an assortment of banchan. None of the food really stood out to me but it was all pretty good. I definitely would've liked more tofu in the bibimbap, but I did appreciate that it seemed to be lightly pan-fried rather than deep-fried. With hot sauce added, the bowl was very flavourful but not too salty. The vegetables were all cooked well and the fried egg also had nice crispy edges. The portion was filling, especially with the banchan. The bibimbap came out literally seconds after the banchan, so I was a little worried it would get cold before I had the chance to eat the banchan, but the stone bowl kept it nice and hot until the last bite.
I would say this is an okay place for vegetarians/vegans since they do have a number of entrees that I believe should be vegetarian or vegan (more if you remove the egg), but they don't label which dishes are vegetarian, so you might have to ask questions about hidden meat/seafood ingredients if you're not familiar with Korean food. If you are vegetarian, let them know when you order, because even though the bibimbap I ordered was vegetarian, some of the banchan (fishcakes and likely the kimchi) contained seafood.
The overall experience was positive but not outstanding in terms of the food or atmosphere, so while I might return if I'm craving Korean, I want to try other Korean places in the neighbourhood first to see what else is out there.”

“Great food plus you will not leave hungry!!! Omelet are 5 eggs…. Recommend all of them!!”

“My own version of Cheers. Come alone, leave with a few friends in your pocket! 😁”

“Always enjoy pad puk, whether dining in or carrying out.”

“Wonderful ice cream and great service!”

“Awesome food!”

“By far the best thing about Bloomington. TREAT YO SELF.”

“Wonderful brunch, very authentic compared to our many trips around France. The owners were very kind and the service was great! This mom and pop place was very kid friendly for our family of 5, but I could see it also being romantic and cozy for a date night.”

“The service was great and my food wasn't just thrown together and to messy to eat. I would recommend eating there.”

“My family and I are regular customers. The service is top notch, and their sweet delicacies are divine! Highly recommend!!!”

“Megan wall our server was amazing. She checked on us the whole time we were there! Five stars for her⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Look if u really want to have fun, eat, drink, play pool, The Cabin is a great place to come in even for a visit.. ALL is welcomed, one side is the family restaurant and another side is the bar..Come check it out.”

“This is my favorite restaurant in Bloomington. We try to go at least once a week. Everything we’ve tried on the menu (Korean and sushi) has been amazing. The service is wonderful and the food is consistent.”

“Soma coffee is the best coffee I have ever had. I tried it while visiting my son in Bloomington. I now order several bags at a time to be delivered to my home. Friendly staff, excellent & personal customer service. I live 7 hours away & they know me by name. My personal favorite is the Burundi ☕️”

“crab Rangoon was so good. portions was really big”

“cheap snacks and smiling faces! oh ya! The coffee is great too!”

“Poindexter cafe is inside The Graduate hotel. The students at the University of Indiana hang out in the lobby and here at this cafe to study. Their parents usually check in here when they're in town to visit their college student.”

“I ordered a chocolate chip cookie cake, and a dozen cookies for my husband's birthday this week. Not only was everything delicious, and ready on time, but they even gave us a variety of day old cookies, too! I'm so happy y'all are able to be open again, and so glad we chose Baked! to celebrate with!”

“I really do like this restaurant. Just this week however they were out of many of the gluten-free items that we went to have at our visit. The pancakes, cinnamon rolls, , banana bread we’re all out of stock. It was really disappointing.. We did however, order the eggs Benedict with gluten-free English muffins and that was delicious. I asked for a side of the gluten-free French toast and enjoyed that. Pancakes and cinnamon rolls are my favorite so I guess I will have to call next time before I go just to be sure that they have them in stock. They are delicious.”

“Soma coffee is the best coffee I have ever had. I tried it while visiting my son in Bloomington. I now order several bags at a time to be delivered to my home. Friendly staff, excellent & personal customer service. I live 7 hours away & they know me by name. My personal favorite is the Burundi ☕️”

“I've been there for lunch once or twice a week since they opened. They've earned that place on the rotation. They're delicious, consistent, but moreover KIND. They look out for their patrons, chasing you down the street to return an item or spotting for you as you try to evade a car pinning you in. Try them!”

“Great tasting coffee! Great service from the staff!”

“I love their food. Its exactly what I want when I get Chinese food. Every other Chinese place leaves me disapointed with one dish or another, but China Star gets every dish right, every time I eat there.”

“I've eaten here twice recently. The view is always amazing. The food is good. My complaint is how slow the service is. This last time we were there for two hours. Not because we were just enjoying our time but because it took that long to get our food.”

“Outstanding service and really nice customer service. Order was fast.”

“I go to breakfast at least 4 times a week and I watch these ladies run their butts off to try and manage the entire for every customer and every issue in between. I've seen the nastiness they deal with from the customers who chose to come eat in a very understaffed unappreciated under paid and over worked restaurant ran by at most 3 young woman. Cut them some slack, it's apparent the store and the people who park and go in and eat need them probably closer to more than they need us or Denny's. The world ugly don't punish the ones who wake up every day and still work a job”

“The service was great and my food wasn't just thrown together and to messy to eat. I would recommend eating there.”

“The new owners rock! 100% improvement from last owners. Buffet is awesome!! They keep the pizza coming and the salad bar is great. I have been there more in the last 2 months than I had ever been there. The people who work there are so friendly! I always tell people how great it is! Keep up the good work.”

“Wonderful dining experience. Exceptional service, meal ,and libations.”

“1st, your atmosphere is wonderful, but exuberant fellow patrons made conversation difficult. WORTH IT every way! My husband, son & I savored every morsel & the wonderful food eased our spirits. And I just found a word re: our table person, Shahada, royalty. She is radiant.”

“I ordered a Ruben and when it arrived the toast was black and burnt. I never complain so I said nothing and tried to eat the sandwich but the toast was very hard. After trying to eat it I just gave up not wanted to be a bad customer and make my two adult friends uncomfortable. I just paid the bill $70.+and gave the server Emily a $20. tip. My friend ordered one of her usuals but the sauce was not what she normally gets. We were told that the cooks sometimes use whatever is available and finally just sent out a replacement with NO sauce. She finally just gave up and ate whatever she ordered. The third friend her husband avoided the situation. We finally gave up and I paid the bill with my Sky Miles AMEX card total $90.+ We came into the restaurant probably around 7:30 or 8pm. Sorry for the bother but it bothered me I've lived here since 1972.”

“Since we don't have a Cheddar's in our area, we try to go whenever we are on the road. This restaurant was clean and the staff was super friendly and helpful. My 5 year old doesn't like apple juice, milk or 'lemonade'. We conspired with our server to give him 'strawberry juice' or strawberry lemonade. Thanks for the assistance! Our only small complaint was that the chicken tenders were bland. Other than that, great job as always!”

“The service was great and my food wasn't just thrown together and to messy to eat. I would recommend eating there.”

“Fabulous little restaurant on the courthouse square in Bloomington. The food was outstanding and Jeremy provided most excellent customer service. This was our first visit and we can’t wait to come back again.”

“Feel like this place is majorly slept on. One of the better lunch deals I can truly remember having. $8 for a slice and a very healthy side salad, and if you didn’t quite get your pizza fix…another slice is only $5, not that I would know.”

“Stopped by here while visiting the area and just had the best experience. They will essentially make any drink you would like so long as you know what goes into it, and they are just fantastic about it! Clean bathrooms, amazing service, cozy atmosphere on a cold day.”

“I only stopped in for the first time on 06/03/2025 because there was an amazingly beautiful girl working. Lol She recommended strawberry banana and it was AMAZING”

“Way better food than you would expect from an arcade, the Cajun Shrimp Pasta and Steak & Shrimp Alfredo are excellent. The digital darts boards are also a lot of fun.”

“I make an effort to visit Piccoli Dolci every Saturday at the Woolery Mill Farmer’s Market just to get a cornetto. Seriously, I daydream about these pastries all week long 🤤 Thank you, Piccoli Dolci, for your delicious treats!! It will be a sad day indeed when my husband and I have to move and can’t get your goodies every weekend.”

“Since moving from Texas, I've missed having taco trucks in every other parking lot and grabbing some good Mexican food late nights. Welp, this place just became my new favorite place! I ordered a torta and knew that food was about to be good when the guy couldn't understand much English. 😆 that torta hit a spot in me that ain't been touched since Texas. The shredded beef was amazing, the onions and peppers were flavorful, the beans were perfect, jalapeños, cheese, pico. Gah, it took everything in me to not go order another one to take home!”

“Very tasty. Probably your best bet for a high end sushi dining experience in Bloomington as of now, and not bad price wise either. The sushi tasting combos are your best bet for an actual meal, I had the sushi sampler and the hamachi maki which was very good. Attentive staff and service.”

“Food was great, and the workers were very kind. The place was clean and looked very nice inside and outside. They seemed very organized. I didn't wait no longer than 5 minutes for my food. Food was hot and fresh. I would definitely recommend eating here. The only downside was that it was difficult to find parking.”

“The food was good, we ordered online. I think they don't have in person ordering available. You can order through door dash or their own app. Also there is no dine in option.”

“This Chipotle is great, but it can get busy sometimes during peak hours. The food is always high quality and filling. It is a great place to order for pickup to avoid the line.”
