Blackstone Cafe

Recently visited Blackstone Cafe, which is located adjacent to the highly praised Blackstone restaurant, known for their excellent steaks and seafood and fine wines. Blackstone Cafe was opened this summer as an alternative for those that couldn’t handle the fact that Blackstone is not open for lunch.

Blackstone Cafe, is a quaint local deli market just off of Log Cabin Road and Atlanta Road. Blackstone Cafe offers a good selection of soups, sandwiches and salads for pickup and dining. They offer a variety of gourmet meats, cheese and other delicacies. And don’t forget about the gelato for dessert.

On my visit, I wasn’t sure what to get. Luckily, a fellow Hoosier working behind the counter was well versed in the best stuff at Blackstone Cafe and gave me her top picks. Based on her recommendations, I decided to check out one of their panini sandwiches with a side of cole slaw.

I went for the chicken panini, which was a hot-pressed sandwich with grilled chicken, swiss cheese, roasted red peppers and a pesto mayo. Absolute taste sensation. With so many sandwiches, salads and a variety of soups that change daily, I’ll definitely have to stop by again.

Blackstone is open daily from 11-7 for lunch and an early dinner.
