"Open for: Breakfast, lunchPrice range: $In 2020, local pastry chef Pete Schmutte opened Leviathan Bakehouse with four other local bakers of repute — Jessica Kartawich, Matt Steinbronn, and brothers Jesse and Sam Blythe — to a tsunami of attention. Four years later, they still craft the area’s best croissants and breads, including a signature porridge sourdough, sandwiches for lunch, and coffee under the hungry eye of a leviathan mural by Indy artist C.S. Stanley. The rest of the offerings include a strawberry-guava Danish, pretzel croissant, and a lemon-cinnamon braid, to name a small selection.Must-try dish: Order a pitcher of mimosas made with sparkling wine and the herbal house lemonade." - Brian Garrido
