My first time here I decided to try the butter chicken w/rice,garlic naan, and a Mango Lassi to drink, it was delicious. The food was very comforting can’t wait to try out more items on their menu!
Bare Bones Gastropub
Tasty food! We had appetizers & sandwiches. Their Cuban is terrific. The grown up grilled cheese with Guyere & grilled onions was a hit for 2 of our group. The food is fresh. The bread is the star of all their sandwiches. From a local bakery…so good!
A Whole World Of Good Coffee
Amazingly curated shop of wonders, that also happens to serve coffee. The women behind the counter were very nice, and made some delicious caffeinated treats. The coffee was top notch and it was a nice bonus to get to walk around the shop and see all of the goodies. Also loved that they had a great non alcoholic drink selection.
The Dessert Café
This place SERIOUSLY rivals AND BEATS all the big box coffee shops. The service, the atmosphere is all top notch. The last couple visits I ask Summer (who is AWESOME) to surprise me and I’ve not been disappointed with the selection. Definitely check out this hidden gem downtown LaPorte while you’re out shopping or just enjoying your summer. You’ll be back! 😋☕️
