The Garden Table

Great brunch spot tucked away in Broad Ripple. You might not find yourself stuffed after eating here, but all of the meals are healthy and portioned just right.
The juices are awesome and they even bottle them so you can grab one on your way out. You can try a flight of juices so you can find your favorite.

Juice bars are the new milkshake. At least, in my life because I’m desperately trying to to eat healthy. The Garden Table is a great help to that goal with their delicious fresh juice blends like, amped almond and detox lemon, my personal favs. Getting a juice flight is fun.

Let’s start with the name «Garden Table» it was just that! My mouth is currently recovering from the freshness and flavor that I experienced. The atmosphere was cozy, with just enough sunshine peaking through the windows. Will definitely be back!
Salmon– great
BLT– great… Add egg!
Juices– get the flight! I enjoyed trying multiple juices.

This place is what food is supposed to be. It’s fresh. It’s healthy. It’s local. It’s delicious. And gasp! It’s affordable. I ate everything down to the last itty bit of quinoa to clear my plate. That good, huh?
The juices are incredible. And only $ 10 for a flight of 4! At first I thought it might the thimble size. But you’ll get the real deal for sure. Holy cow, this is a great value. Some places charge you close to $ 10 just for 1 juice. Garden Gate is my favorite. Get a flight. Do it.
I had the salmon special. Nom Nom Nom. So delish! A lot going on in the dish and yet you can pick up on each distinct flavor. Pulls together really well. And what a nice touch the fennel adds. The brussel sprouts were also very good. And all very filling. Eat at Garden Table instead of whatever it is that you are craving that’s terrible for you.

Just tried out the new Amped Almond and it is AMAZING! The ingredients include Filtered H2O, almond, black heart coffee, date, vanilla bean, and himalayan pink sea salt. I have been thinking about it all week and I want to stop back in for more.
The portion sizes are small and it’s pricey but I always like to get a meal plus a side or share the sweet toast with friends. The best news is that they are opening a location downtown!

Such a great, hip little restaurant! I came with my family and it was amazing. We ordered the Tuscan toast with a side of eggs, garden Benedict, hippie porridge and the chorizo hash. Our food came out relatively quickly but they forgot the chorizo hash. They were very nice and brought out a flight of freshly pressed juices. It was so accommodating and great, fresh food! Highly recommended for a quick healthy bite and a good atmosphere! Also would recommend all the food we got, all great dishes!

This is the kind of place that makes me proud to call Broad Ripple home. The menu is stacked with healthful, creative options, the setting is sublime, and the staff are truly excited to make diners feel at home.
I had the veggie toast, which came in the form of wonderfully crunchy wheat bread spread thick with smashed avocado, then topped with cherry tomatoes, chili powder, and lemon juice. The coffee was just right as well.

Trendy is the best way to describe this place.
Pretty crowded on a Saturday for brunch, I felt a little rushed ordering my juice flight, which I thought the $ 10 price tag was a little steep for. I ended up ordering the garden beet juice, almond juice, activated charcoal detox juice, and a green tropical one (sorry, I don’t remember all the names). On a scale of 1 – 10, 10 being the best tasting (bearing in mind that this is my first time trying cold-​pressed juices):
Garden Beet: 1– Ugh, where do I start with this. I got it because the of the beautiful color, but man, the beet and celery really do you in. It literally tasted like a greenhouse shoved into murky water. It’s probably really great for you nutritionally (the only reason why I finished it), but sorry, not the biggest fan of the taste. I had to chase it with the almond juice to drink it at all.
Almond juice: 9 — But only because it just tastes like vanilla almond milk. It’s kind of creamy and definitely the best tasting out of the bunch, and it would have been a 10 if it didn’t so closely resembled the Silk that I have at home.
Activated charcoal detox: 6.5 — I’m not really sure what this tasted like, but it was pretty sour like lemon and Kombucha. The only reason why I would get it again would be the supposed health benefits.
Green tropical: 8 — Pretty good! It had a touch of sweetness, and the notes of the fruits were apparent and not masked by a «healthy, grassy» taste.
I also had the lox open faced sandwich, which was pretty good. This sandwich is my go-​to at brunch places, and it’s the first time I’ve had tomato on mine, which wasn’t a bad addition. Although I’d say that the capers on the side was a nice touch, I usually prefer watercress to arugula, which there wasn’t much of. The cream cheese was flavored with veggies, which I also appreciated.
4 stars because of the concept of the place (everything fresh), but docking a star because of the horrid beet juice and some improvements that could be made to the lox sandwich.

I love the concept of this place. They use local and fresh ingredients, and you can really taste the difference! The menu offers a variety of different food combos that you wouldn’t expect. It’s definitely a change from normal brunch spots in the city.
It’s the first time I tried a fresh juice spot. I ordered the juice flight, which allowed me to try four samples of their juices. My favorite had to be the cashew one.
The ambience and interior design of the place is one of the best in broad ripple. A good place to take someone if they’re visiting Indy for the first time or if you just want to make a good impression.
The only down side of this place is the portion sizes. My friend ordered an eggs Benedict dish and I ordered a grilled veggie sandwich. While our food was absolutely delicious, it was very small and did not fill us up at all. We still had to go grab lunch afterwards because we came with an empty stomach.

The Garden Table is too cool. This spot is awesome & nestled into the trendy Broad Ripple area. Right away the décor and atmosphere blows you away. Decorated to perfection and the hand lettering used for the menus around the walls is phenomenal. It gives off an instant hip vibe. I have enjoyed working from my laptop here a few times. Very easily accessible for remote workers– tons of plugs! Cha Ching!
I sampled three juices last time in: Hoosier Heater, Tropic Tonic, and the Cashew Concoction. The first two were sweet with a hint of spiciness & the cashew concoction was my fav! Oh my gosh. SOOOOOO YUMMY. It was thicker than the other two and made a perfect breakfast drink. I think indulged in the hummingbird mush with sausage. The recipe is the chef’s grandmothers– so of course I had to try it. I don’t know his grandmother but her recipes set it off! The polenta was light and perfect for breakfast, lightly sprinkled with brown sugar. The sausage added a spice to the sweet. I then tried the sweet potato hash upon a friend’s referral. Probably my favorite thing I consumed during my visit. The sweet potatoes were mixed with greens and onions and who knows what else but it was fabulous.
The atmosphere is what makes this place 5+ star in my opinion. I would sit here everyday on my laptop if I could. I love that they support local and sell other local goods within their store. Tinker coffee is amazing as well… and BOTTOMLESS… score once again. Small and cozy it keeps an intimate vibe.

Hubby and I finally got it together and tried this place. If anything I’m disappointed that it took me so long to visit! The food was delicious. Staff was so, so friendly and the restaurant itself is adorable. As our first time, we grabbed a take-​out menu and sat down to peruse it before going up to the counter to order. Neither of us really buy into the «power of juice» movement, but if you do you absolutely need to check this place out. We didn’t try any on this visit, but next visit I will likely try the juice flight.
Price was similar to other farm-​to-​table places I’ve been to, but I feel that I got more food. My quinoa bowl had two poached eggs and I topped it off with a «side» of avocado (which turned out to be a whole avocado). I couldn’t finish my meal! The menu didn’t say which veggies came in the bowl, I’m guessing due to the seasonal nature of such things, but I easily picked out the ones I don’t like. (I’m looking at you, cabbage and tomatoes.) With so many veggie options my husband landed on the Garden Benedict. At first I thought it wouldn’t be enough food for him, but it was rich and the egg filled him up. Although he was still able to finish off the butternut squash soup and the ¹⁄₃ of my dish that I couldn’t manage. The ONLY, very very minuscule negative is that my poached eggs were a touch overdone. However, they still tasted good and mixed into my bowl fine.

I had somehow walked by this place many times without ever really noticing it was there. What a mistake! I like the style and atmosphere a lot, it’s an easy spot to sit and chat with friends. The juices all sounded great which made it very hard to chose one. Ended up with a Tropic Tonic while my friend grabbed a Lush Love. We loved them. I had the hardest time choosing something to eat to as the entire menu sounded amazing. I ended up with maybe the least healthy thing on the menu in the chorizo sweet potato hash which was fantastic. Just the right amount of savory and spicy with the egg and sweet potato balancing out the chorizo. Next time I come I will be struggling with just grabbing the dish I know I love and trying out some of the other fantastic sounding things on the menu. Give this place a shot, you’ll love it too!

My biggest regret from my recent breakfast at The Garden Table is that I bought one bottle of juice ($ 8) instead of taking advantage of their juice flight for a mere $ 10. There were certainly enough tantalizing juices on offer to have made it worthwhile. My bottle of the Lush Love (Watermelon, Ruby Grapefruit, Coconut Water, Lime, Basil) was delicious but I loved my friend’s Tropic Tonic and Hoosier Heaters just as much.
The food was consistently good-​but-​not-​great. My Earl Gray spiced waffle was topped with apples, rum raisins, and pecans and would have been better without the winter squash purée mounded under it. Everything I tried of my friends was similarly very appealing but not rapturously delicious. There are a lot of things left of the menu that I’m excited to try though (including the sweet toast — my second biggest regret is not getting to try the sweet toast) that I can see myself returning soon.

Garden Table, you are doin it right. This is one of those spots that offers a gnarly variety of options and you start to hold up the line because you can’t decide which one you want. And then everyone behind me started holding up the line. People started conferring with one another over what they thought they should get. Chorizo bowl, basil hollandaise Benedict? Ok, get ‘em both. So I did.
One of the things that sets this little spot apart is their local farm to table concept — only serving up ingredients that are from the area — even the coffee.
Another thing you might find interesting is that their cold pressed juices are NOT pasteurized like the ones you’ll find at whole foods. That means more nutrients for your buck. Even ask them about the process and you’ll be warped into their world you didn’t even know existed.
They make you feel like family too — kick your shoes off, open a laptop and fire off a couple of emails. Well, maybe keep your shoes on.
Alright garden table, I will see you soon —

My 200^th Unilocal review is dedicated to The Garden Table, which just celebrated its one-​year anniversary — congrats!
I went seeking an acai bowl, and The Garden Table satisfied my craving. I knew it would be pricey at $ 13 a bowl (yup, that much $$) but what I didn’t realize is how BIG the bowl is. Donald Trump would say it’s HUUUUGE (sorry, I had to). You get a deep bowl filled with chilled acai, fresh fruit (pears, blueberries this round), housemade granola, and Revival almond butter. And mint! That added a freshness I wasn’t expecting. It was SO GOOD and I can’t wait to try more of their menu! I’m eyeing that chorizo hash for my next visit.
Not to mention, this place is quaint, rustic and charming and thus very Instagram worthy without being too hipster. A great place to go for weekend brunch or take your laptop and get work done! *The free guest wi fi works great.
Icing on top of the cake:
–kind and welcoming staff who explained the menu and ordering process
–quick delivery of food
–sell local brands like Revival, Tinker, and Skinny & Co in their dry goods section
I will be back, Garden Table! Plus, you’re right by Nicey — healthy lunch + frozen pop? ;)

My new favorite place to go to! I am absolutely in love with this place. The juices, the atmosphere, the jams/​music are on point, the food… everything was awesome.
Little sad that I had never been here before as this will be a regular spot for me to try new foods (juices, Brekkie, or lunch). Can’t wait to bring some friends and show them the place.
It was pretty busy but the service was great, the variety of food and juices and drinks, and the overall vibe is just what Broad Ripple needed.
Thank you GT!

I’ve tried other juice places and they never really hit the spot. Garden Table really hits the spot. every single juice has that perfect balance and harmony. The taste of each juice really sings. I mean there is no other way I can explain it other than other places throw juices together that try to synchronize but Garden Table juices are like the most marvelous symphony you’ve ever heard. I love that they have juice flights, I loved their juices so much that I even did a 3-​day juice cleanse — and it actually left me wanting more and excited for the next one. Did I mention that I am a carnivore through and through? That I am horrible at eating my veggies? The husband had breakfast here and loved it as well. I can’t wait to come back and try out their meals.
Juices: ¹⁰⁄₅
Food: — to report back later! -
Service: ⁵⁄₅
Location: ⁵⁄₅
Also we couldn’t help ourselves and got some of the Moon Juice powders from their dry goods shelves, highly recommend them!

Stopped by this place after a run on the Monon trail, hoping for a refreshing acai bowl and other noms. We ordered the acai bowl and sweet potato and chorizo hash. The hash was deliciously seasoned, and you really can’t get the combination of sweet potato and chorizo wrong. However, I was also expecting there to be brussel sprouts, as the description implied, but only found a couple little leaves of it in the entire hash. I feel like they should leave out the brussel sprouts in the description if there isn’t really any in it… my friend was also put off by the burnt sweet potatoes, and while it certainly gave the dish a charred look, the smokiness actually worked well for me.
The acai bowl was a whole other story. After reading so many great reviews about it on Unilocal,I was excited to try this… and was majorly let down. The acai was half soup, possible because the bowl wasn’t chilled? Or maybe it was less than an hour from closing and the kitchen stopped caring (used to cook at a restaurant, and I know these games)? I don’t know. The flavor was bland bland bland, and the toppings were just ok. Coming from Hawaii, maybe I’ve been spoiled with phenomenal acai bowls, but this was simply not good. So I guess I’m still waiting for a good acai place to come to indy… oh well. Overall, the place seems nice, and the hash was good enough for me to want to try their other dishes. Maybe just not the acai bowl.

Yum! Such a lovely little spot in the Broad Ripple neighborhood of Indy. I had passed by it many times walking and always said to myself, «I should try this, I bet I’d love it.» And then forgot.
Well, guess what? I did finally try it and I did love it! I’ve been back several times now and brought others. My personal favorite item that they have is the Garden Benedict. I mean how can you not like avocado toast, topped with fluffy poached eggs and BASIL hollandaise? Well, for me, there is no way. I love it. I’ve had the dish more than once and it was great.
I also enjoy the chorizo hash (sweet potato and brussels sprout hash… um okay, yes please). As well as the hummingbird mush (polenta cubes with cinnamon and sweet honey AND COCONUT… again okay, yes please). Also I added breakfast sausage to that once for a little extra protein. Cold brew coffee is also good, as is the matcha latte.
My husband seems to enjoy the Bripp breakfast burrito served with the hash.
And the juices are unique and delish! I didn’t get to try as many as I would have liked, but the cashew concoction and lush love both struck my fancy.
Its adorable inside. On the weekends it can get quite packed, so timing has been everything in my experience. They also sell other local products and you can take home some juice. Some things can be priced as a «splurge» depending on what kind of restaurant price point you’re used to eating at. But I found nothing cost prohibitive for me. And what I have personally ordered, I have fully enjoyed and found to be well worth it!
Go forth and enjoy!

It’s all about the juice flight at Garden Table. Cashew milk, anyone? Beet juice with turmeric? Maybe a splash of charcoal? Not sure what you like? Go for the $ 10 juice flight! Well worth the splurge. Think of it as a healthy alternative to beer and wine flights. Continuing on from the juice, you’ll want to give the sweet potato chorizo hash a whirl — less on the healthy side but hey, the juice balances it out, right? ;) I also highly recommend the bread topped with sunflower butter, bananas and honey. The sunflower and almond butters are made by one of the employees (Pure and Good Foods). Speaking of which, check out the chalkboard on the wall for all of the local ingredients used by Garden Table. If you’re looking to take some food home, visit the back corner for tasty items like popcorn, local coconut oil and honey.
The Garden Table leans on the splurge side of things when it comes to breakfast and lunch, so skip going out to dinner for a night to justify it (see how my mind works?).
