Rustic Root

Genuinely the most delicious high tea food ever!!! I've been to multiple high tea places and the sandwiches are usually okay, but the ones at The Rustic Root are a good side and absolutely delicious!! My mom and I came for lunch around 1:30 on a busy Saturday and we were fortunately able to be seated right away. I would make a reservation next time though, we got lucky! We did the grand high tea with 3 teas, 2 sandwiches, a scone, and a various selection of sweet treats and they were all so good!!! I love how you got 3 separate tea cups.This would make for such a cute lunch with friends or birthday

The food was AMAZING! I had a BLT with a salad, loaded baked potato soup and a cinnamon apple bread. Everything was delicious. The service was quick! The food came out before the tea did. They have so many options for teas! This place was also just so adorable. Perfect for a baby shower - which is why we came! It'd be great for a girls day, birthday party or any cute/girly type of celebration! There is parking located out front on the road or on the side street and also in the back. They have a cute little shopping area throughout the tea room. I will definitely be back!

I am no tea afficiando but I do love my tea. The Rustic Root in Beech grove was perfect for a 21st birthday. The food was excellent and the tea divine enough that we bought some to take home. So why only 4 stars. This was a saturday afternoon in September and frankly the service was indifferent. They were nice when they came to the table but that was very few and far between. We waited about 30 minutes to be seated then another 20 minutes to get the orders down.I will say that I had the most amazing sandwiches there and for my friends in England we have much to learn from the Rustic Root Chicken sandwich.

Disclaimer: I'd rate this place ten stars if Yelp allowed it. I came here with a group of 6, where none of us had been and some weren't really tea drinkers. Spoiler: this might be an annual spot for us. Three of us opted for the grand tea time and 2/3 of us, and another of our party, got tea flights. That is so much tea. But it was all so delicious!The grand tea time option comes with the best deal of assorted foods and teas in my opinion. You get three pots of teas, two half sandwiches, scones and coffee cake, and a few other mini dessert items. For $22! Tea flights are $9, for 4 tea flavors and they bring unlimited hot water. My half sandwiches for the grand tea time were the sweet and spicy turkey croissant and the oven roasted turkey panini. Both were fantastic, and I would say the "spicy" was more of a "savory". Food aside, we love the rustic charm that the interior has. Our party was sat in a lovely gazebo. It seems like much of the available seating was sectioned off into more intimate areas which is always lovely. They also have their own private room for booking larger parties. Our service was also very nice, and I'd give a special shoutout to our server Abigail. Our party was just constantly giving so many orders and everything came out in a timely fashion and all correct to order. Again, our party is already excited to come again!

I went here for a friend's birthday. The interior is adorable! We were seated under the gazebo. The main area is so sweet how it's divided into little rooms that allow for more privacy. The food was SO GOOD! I went in on the grand tea time with two friends. For the sandwiches I got the oven roasted turkey panini and the sweet and spicy turkey sandwich. Both were amazing! A lot of the friends got the soup and loved that too! As a crazy tea person I also got a flight on top of splitting three pots of tea from the grand tea time. It was presented in such a fun and cute way! And it was a great way to try a larger variety of tea without too much commitment. Overall I'd love to go again! The experience was so much fun! The food was so good! The tea was also amazing!

Wonderful food. Excellent service. My grandma and I love going there for high tea and they have a cute shop.

My wife and were on a road trip and stopped in Beach Grove (just west of Indianapolis) to do some antique hunting. Our last stop in town was across the street from Rustic Root tea room. So we gave it a try.Once through the door we could see that this place was over the top. Eclectic seating throughout a well decorated series of rooms, each with a unique personality.We didn't have a reservation but were seated immediately. Our orders were promptly taken and tea came out quickly. The menu has plenty of tempting items. We opted for soup, salads, and sandwich, everything was delicious and fresh.Treat yourself to a special meal at the Rustic Root, you won't be disappointed.

Our ladies group gathered for grand tea and lunch at The Tea Cafe inside Rustic Root, a gift and home decor shop, as well as pastries.The service was outstanding. Our server was always at our beck and call, and very helpfulThe menu is delicious. Sandwiches, salads, huge variety of tea to buy or drink while there.. and of course desserts. The decor is cozy and welcoming.

One of my friends mentioned going here awhile ago. Well, all three of us went. I knew it was a tea room going into it. When you walk inside it's nice but overwhelming. You walk in and it's a gift shop and then tea rooms spread throughout. It doesn't have a good flow to it. We were seated and right off the bat I'm not going to lie the menu is confusing. So many options. The waitress we had seemed put off that two of us that had never been there seemed confused at the menu. So, starting out I don't appreciate that. So, once we FINALLY decided what to order it came out and they brought the wrong sandwiches. You could choose from egg, chicken or tuna salad. We ordered the chicken salad which came on croissants. The chicken salad was just chicken salad. I mean nothing special about it. Well, we ended up with egg salad. I'm not a fan of that neither are the rest of us. So, we're like hey we got the wrong sandwich so she comes out with tuna salad sandwiches not even cut like all the other sandwiches. So, we ended up cutting them in little triangles and added them to the tea tray. Ok, well I mean it wouldn't have hurt them to cut them like all the other sandwiches. So, we tried the tuna salad they weren't good. Now, I will say the presentation of the sandwiches and desserts is very pretty! I will give them that. But, the service and the salads were not great. The coffee cake I thought was very good! The other desserts were ok. So, we're sitting there and the waitress comes in and brings a dessert tray filled with cakes. So, we're thinking oh we get a slice of cake with the meal. NOPE!!! You don't!! lol She just came in to tell us the flavors. For the price you pay for that tea it should be included!!!!As far as the tea goes it's tea. We had I think four pots of tea between two people one doesn't drink tea. It was too much tea. The table needed plates and things taken off to make room. We had to keep shuffling things. But, our waitress didn't clear things as often as she should. All in all I don't think I would go back here. I don't say that often to a place. I just didn't care for the service, the interior, and the food. My other friend who hadn't been there before thought the same. She wouldn't go back either.

the cutest hidden gem! the tea was served hot and the food was delicious. you should definitely try this out if you are looking for an afternoon tea spot. :)
