This is a staple during any of my visits to IC. Get the Tuscan tomato soup and sourdough bread. Amazing! You can put in a catering order to get bigger sizes of it ahead of time. Decent place to meet up for lunch or study. Can get loud at times. I appreciate that you carry a lot of drinks, but would love it if you carried Wild Wonder for those of us who don't drink alcohol.

Yummy and delicious, I love their sandwiches. The staff is always so friendly, I just wish it wasn't so expensive, but isn't a deal breaker for me, since the stuff is so quality

This is a fantastic business. It's like cafe meets bakery meets gourmet grocer. I stayed at the hotel next door and had a daily food and bev credit for Bread Garden Market. I ordered the spicy ginger chai latte each morning and a breakfast scramble. Both delicious and the breakfast was healthy and filling. They have gelato and other delectable baked goods in addition to a selection of fresh produce and packaged foods. Really great place to pick up snacks for a road trip, some staples for home, or a hot meal.

Great selection of pastries and a decent variety of groceries. Excellent fresh-squeezed lemonade! A good place to stop in to get a quick bite if you're walking around downtown.

Stopped in today for a coffee and to split a iced-sprinkle donut with my youngest daughter. We had a nice table on the patio and enjoyed the morning view.
