Runcible Spoon Cafe & Restaurant

The Spoon is a good restaurant that uses fresh ingredients and has an amazing staff. It's consistently the best eating out value in Bloomington. Yes, you can probably get better meals but you'll pay twice as much. It's a Bloomington is con that has stood the test of time. Great coffee and tea selections. Get the salmon hash with two poached eggs for breakfast or brunch. They have the best Reuben in town and the salmon fillet dinner is also exceptional. Find another place that has a decent $20 bottle of wine. They always have some great unique beers on draft or as well.We eat here monthly for 19 years. It's always our go to. Enjoy!

My friend and I went into town for breakfast and were impressed by the service and food at this place! I want to start with the environment because it piques my interest well- a wooded interior, bookshelves, and neat artifacts on the wall. It was cozy to say the least and not crowded. I found it neat to rub elbows with and overhear some conversations from IU staff. Our waitress was great too. She smiled more than most!I got a cappuccino and a corned beef hash, which I admit was an odd combo but one that hit the spot for me. My friend had some pancakes I envied, but it was just wholesome food that wasn't rushed and started a good day for me.The only criticism I have is that my cappuccino was a bit weak, but I suppose some are supposed to be like that. I like having both a cafe-sized coffee menu and heavy breakfast. Hats off to the Spoon!

This is a nice little restaurant in B-ton, IN. From the outside, it appears to be a house in a neighborhood right off the main campus. We arrived at the opening time to have breakfast or brunch. We parked on the street - and realized it was metered parking. There wasn't much of a wait, but the crowd was building. We sat in the main dining room. Our restaurant server, who was very friendly, promptly greeted us.We both ordered the classic Benny. Along with coffee, I had a mimosa because why not? The food was good, and it was a large portion of the $.Overall, it was a good visit and a nice little brunch place in Bloomington.Recommended!

We came here for brunch and it was alright. There's a lot of seating, inside and outside. The menu items we got we okay, nothing special and seemed pricy for what we got (esp for the French toast, it was made of regular white bread, I expected it would be sour dough or at least a thicker kind of toast, and the cost to add fruit was more than I expected). The service was unfortunately slow but everyone was nice. I can't imagine coming back to this place again.

They have the most delectable food! I tried the smoked salmon Benedict on a crescent. It was so delicious with a lemon hollandaise sauce. Devine! I also tried a slice of French toast. It had a custard taste. Perfectly done. The best cup of Moroccan mint tea. I can't wait to try other menu items. The service was attentive and so nice. I sat in a basement table. It was cold, but I was kept comfortable with my hot tea.

The Runcible Spoon is one of my favorite restaurants in bloomington! The vibe is very vintage, earthy, almost grandmas house but it is so amazing! My favorite thing that they have is their pancakes and their coffees.

A Bloomington staple. Cozy and quiet perfect for a late breakfast with my family. Our server was so nice and attentive and made our experience a great one from start to finish. The french toast and bread were so flavorful and the bacon was delicious. I got the Blonde Mocha that I wish was just a little stronger coffee and mocha wise but still really yummy with dairy alternative options! We will definitely back!

Indiana University Jacob's School is only a short walk away, on the other side of campus. Best corned beef hash in town. It has a history of a beautiful interior, and their breakfast can't be matched

After a long day of touring, my daughter and I stopped here and situated ourselves at a table on the porch. We weren't sure what to order and really just needed a quick bite to share that would hold us over until dinner. Our server was super friendly and suggested the home fries with any kind of topping we would like. She came back with a delicious plate of potatoes covered with fresh veggies - broccoli, carrots, onions, spinach and zucchini and topped with melted swiss cheese. This was the perfect healthy snack and we enjoyed it immensely. We paired it with iced teas - I had a traditional black iced tea and my daughter enjoyed one of the many specialty iced teas, the Serene, which was a combination of chamomile, mint, lavender and lemon myrtle. It was a wonderful way to relax on a late summer afternoon!

A quaint, cute little spot for good breakfast food that's right in town. Try the hash.
