Graze 1885

After hiking and viewing museums on the west side of the state, I was hungry and decided to give Graze 1885 at try. This restored building is very cool with multiple rooms for dining including above the main entrance. With free street parking out front, I was able to grab a spot and proceed to order at the long side of the L-shaped counter (pastries are displayed on the short side facing the door.)I decided to go with a Reuben sandwich that comes with potato salad and chips (odd combo). I also ordered a Peachberry Crumble from the pastry side while waiting and an iced Pekoe Tea. They have utensils on a display at the far end of the counter.The crumble was a perfect blend of berries and peach flavors and was more of a "bar" than a crumble since it held together nicely. Great taste. The Pekoe Tea was refreshing and just hit the spot after all that walking!Before long, one of the staff brought out my plate and additional utensils and napkins. The Reuben was huge! It came on diagonally slice marble rye and the sauerkraut was pickled with a tangy tart flavor. Really good, but I decided to save half of it for later. The potato salad serving was rather small, but it was delicious. Just a bit of crunch on the potatoes (not sure what they did, but it was good!) The chips were lightly seasoned and were tasty (not just salt). Nice crispy crunch there too!I was really surprised how much I enjoyed the meal and liked that even in the hours after normal lunch, they were still having folks drop in. (Note that they stop serving lunch at 3.)Definitely a place to check out if you are in Vincennes.Review #2974

Today Lynette and I stopped at Graze 1885 in Vinccenes, Indiana. It's located in a very picturesque spot at the end of the historic main street and overlooking the George Rodgers Clark Memorial. The town itself is really cool and worth a visit. Founded in 1772. The restaurant is located in an old storefront and very nicely decorated. The have specialty coffees and fresh baked goodies. They also have meals. Lynette had chicken salad and a side salad. Very nicely done and delicious. I had the french dip with potato salad and chips. The sandwich comes looking like a wrap in appearance but it's because they use skinny baguettes and wrap them in paper. It was plenty big enough and served with a very nice gravy. The potato salad was homemade as were the chips. Both were phenomenal. For dessert were shared 2 muffins. Lemon poppyseed and orange blossom. Both were awesome, and moist.This is definitely worth stopping for.

Three floors to enjoy overlooking the town while you are enjoying your breakfast or lunch. They only have one soup. I really wanted to do half sand half soup but not an option. The white mocha coffee was tasty. They have so many different milk options for all of your dietary requirements.

What a lovey little cafe! We stopped after our visit to the George Rogers Clark Memorial which is easy, walking distance to this establishment. We enjoyed our Signature Chicken Sandwich, Farmhouse Salad and that they had a separate kids menu for the pickier little one with us. After looking long enough at the pastry counter, we had to get an assortment of pastries. All delicious!

This is the best place within hours. Seriously. Every time I'm visiting family up here we HAVE to take a trip. Everything is good. The sandwiches, the cakes, the teas/coffees. You won't regret dining here.

I visited this place while I was there for the New Years Eve Watermelon Drop. The first thing I noticed was that the staff was super friendly. I just got some sweets to satisfy my sweet tooth and they were delicious. You must try the turtle brownie. It is awesome. They also serve coffee and have a wine bar upstairs. The atmosphere was amazing and the place had a good vibe. I will admit the the prices are a bit on the high side, but you get what you pay for. There is ample parking on the street and at the park nearby. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Everything about this place makes me excited for Vincennes. The atmosphere, food, coffee, desserts... i could go on and on. The farmhouse salad was delicious and super flavorful! The cinnamon rolls looked to die for along with all the other sweet treats and bagels they had to offer! Will be eating here often!

What an awesome use of an old warehouse building in a downtown district. Great atmosphere with free WiFi. Great menu selections. My rueben was delicious and homemade chips great. Three different levels to sit so if you have difficulty with stairs there is not an elevator. There is wine bar but was closed on my visit. Too bad I am only in town for the afternoon.

We came for coffees and a couple snacks. The baked good are phenomenal. We had a Caramel Apple Crumble Bar, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcake and Blueberry White Chocolate Cheesecake. The atmosphere is spacious and inviting for social gatherings, work meetings, studying or relaxing. I am so happy I traveled to Vincennes to check them out and I will definitely be back!

We moved to the area from New Orleans about 2 years ago, and are SO excited to finally have a good coffee and pastry place in town! It's gorgeous inside, sparkling clean, and the staff was incredibly nice (and very patient and kind with our excited 3 and 5 year old). We got a variety of things - croissants, cinnamon rolls, cookies, lattes - and it was all delicious! The shining star though was the Bagel & Lox - one of the best I've ever had, and the bagel was so yummy and had to have been made in-house
