COFFEE & TOASTS The newest addition to Martha Hoover’s Cafe Patachou chain, Patachou at the Stutz (1060 N. Capitol St., 317-222-3538), opened in the historic automobile factory last Thursday. The cafe’s subtle, inviting design is a departure, but the menu is consistent. A small Martha-curated library fills the wall near the coffee bar, loaded with books by female writers.
NEW CREW Melon Ghost Kitchen, a restaurant accelerator designed for local Black chefs, welcomes five new food businesses to its cohort program. Ummi’s Table, Mrs. Murry’s Naturals, Samosa n Sauce, Stix, and Juzen Juice Bar join the other businesses at The Amp (1220 Waterway Blvd.).
HELP NEEDED 1313 Eatery (4602 E. 10th St., 317-602-6379) was damaged by an early morning fire on November 8. Co-owner and neighborhood leader Ron Gee says bad wiring caused the unfortunate event, rendering both the restaurant and 1313 Market unusable. A GoFundMe has been set up to aid the treasured neighborhood business in rebuilding.
TGI MONDAY Blue Mind Coffee (646 E. 38th St., 317-874-7374) will add Mondays to its schedule on November 27. This move precedes a shop expansion scheduled for December 9, when the coffee roaster will reveal a larger dining area.
