Café 251

Loved this place! The food is delicious and affordable, the service is friendly and helpful, and the environment is clean and welcoming. I would go again.

They have really fresh salads and produce. I enjoy the taco and cobb salads. The sandwiches are also of quality. The place can be busy, but the line moves fast, so dont let a line out the door scare you. This place has become a regular lunch spot for many downtown workers looking for a good/healthy lunch.

I came across Cafe 251 through google maps, just browsing for lunch. The location isn't quite as convenient as I hoped, but it's perfect for those who work in the same building.
The soups are amazing! This week I tried the Chicken Velvet and Chicken con Queso, both amazing. 10/10 for the Chicken Salad Sandwich and Broccoli Salad. Delicious.
The staff was incredibly friendly, as well as helpful!
It was an overall welcoming vibe and I look forward to having lunch here more often.
oh, P.S. - they have the good ice!

This place is a regular for me for lunch. The staff there is amazing and makes you really feel at home. They're very personable and remember your face and your orders. Lots of options for food. The buffalo chicken quesadilla is my favorite, and their chicken velvet soup is awesome.

First time here. I came for lunch. Had the Taco Salad. For being small order dish, you sure get a lot of food. The dish tasted amazing. The menu consists of most hot/cold sandwiches, salads, and soups. I would

This is my go-to for a quick and satisfying work lunch downtown. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the food is fresh with generous servings.

Fantastic staff, way more cheerful and helpful than I would ever expect. The food was fantastic and the staff couldn't have been nicer and more helpful, which is impressive considering that we walked in 10 minutes before closing. I will definitely be stopping by this cafe every time I'm in Indianapolis in the future.

Salads are great, the fresh soups are amazing, and I really enjoy a baked potato with fresh broccoli and cheese. The line to get food takes a bit to master, but the people are very friendly and helpful... and it's worth it!

My husband had an appointment at the University Hospital. Indianapolis is approximately 2 1/2 hours from home and we did not want to be a minute late. Therefore we were over an hour early. We asked a man doing electrical work around the corner from you where we might get a cup of coffee. When we entered your cafe, employees were setting up for breakfast. We said we were willing to wait until they were finished getting set up. One of the men stopped setting up, took our order, made a very tasty breakfast sandwich and coffee. He was accommodating, cheerful and we didn't feel like we were a burden. It was like he was expecting us! Hahahahaha! What a great experience. You all were amazing! And you were right! The brownie I bought for later was amazing too! In a rush-rush world it is refreshing to find such courteous people in the middle of the city. THANK YOU!

Absolutely wonderful!!! The food is always fresh and delicious...but what makes the place really special are the people that work there!! They are the best!! So sweet and excellent customer service. Love this place! Go there it will not disappoint.

No matter how long I am gone, the crew here at 251 always remembers me, and my order. They are always so happy and great you with a big smile. The food here is perfect for lunch and breakfast. And the prices are set perfectly

Quick lunch place to get yummy food. Today I had the chili and broccoli salad.

Amazing sandwiches and great service! The girl with the curly hair and silver sequined mask is the kindest human, thank you for making my day :)

Had the Applewood salad and 1/2 roast beef sandwich. Both were an excellent start to the day!

Best chocolate chip cookies in town! The soups are really good and they have a great variety of them - about 10 everyday.

This is one of my favorite downtown lunch spots. I have always received quality food & service and the pricing is reasonable compared to other places.

This place is amazing! Everything is always fresh and i have never had a bad meal there! Eat there everyday i work downtown Indy!
