Runcible Spoon Cafe & Restaurant
412 E 6th St, Bloomington, IN
Crema's Take
“This charming, colorfully painted Bloomington institution pairs inventive specialty drinks like spiced coffee and mint mocha with unexpectedly excellent breakfast fare—their smoked salmon hash is a standout that keeps people coming back. The kitschy, stained-glass-adorned space has genuine character and warmth despite its charmingly worn edges, making it equally perfect for a quick coffee grab or lingering over a full meal with friends. Reviews consistently praise both the creativity of the drinks menu and the generous portions of food, suggesting this is a place that takes care in both its coffee craft and its kitchen.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.

I stopped into The Runcible Spoon in Bloomington and ordered the smoked salmon hash with eggs, and honestly, it might be one of the best breakfast dishes I’ve ever had. The salmon was perfectly smoky without being overpowering, the potatoes were crisp on the outside and soft…
