    This was our first dinner and definitely not our last at Cafe Indigo.  We have been here for breakfast several times over the past few months but not lunch or dinner.  We went with another couple and all of us commented on how good the food and service was, actually both were great.  I had the parmesan crusted walleye and my husband had the bayou fettuccine, both were excellent.  The service was excellent. We have found a new favorite dinner place.  Cafe Indigo ranks up there with the top places in the Quad Cities.

    We did brunch here on a Friday morning. Food was a little slow coming out, but then breakfast usually is. The standout dish was the Indigo frittata, which was excellent. Everything was very good, but there were a few misses. The chef was WAY too heavy handed with the rosemary in the blueberry rosemary sauce. There was no plain black tea, which is just... weird.  

    A few tweaks here and there, and this place could be a cafe on par with any urban/metropolitan excellent neighborhood spot.

    Not bad. Not bad at all.

    Through the power of Yelp, discovered Cafe Indigo after searching for vegetarian friendly restaurants in the quad cities and decided to drop by for lunch before checking in to my hotel in downtown Davenport. As others have mentioned, food is prepared "to order" which means you're going to have to wait. Which might be ok if the wait staff was a little more attentive. I was sitting out on the patio waiting for silverware and a drink refill for what seemed like forever.

    I had an unmemorable caprese sandwich and a nice little side salad with the house garlic vinaigrette. (if you like garlic, this is the dressing for you! I was vampire-proof for hours!) Overall, my experience was ok. Nothing spectacular, and if I were to stop in Davenport again, not sure I'd go out of my way to stop there for lunch.

    I have been here twice and it is fast becoming my favorite place to eat in the QC. This is mainly because the food is thoughtfully prepared and the servers are very attentive. That being said, you will not get your meal in 10 minutes like you will other places that are not as tasty and innovative with their food. You can tell each dish is prepared for you and I appreciate that.
    The breakfast is AM-Azzzing.  yum.  Lunch was great too.  I have not been for dinner so I can't comment on that.
    I love sitting outside since the inside does lack ambiance. So happy the QC has a place like Indigo :)

    Ate here while visiting the Quad Cities for work.  For breakfast on a Saturday, the place was about half full, but only had two servers, so getting menus and coffee took a while and some empty tables hadn't been cleared.  Our table was dirty, the coffee cups were dirty.  The food was meh.  Sweetie had an overcooked Indigo omelet and I had three greasy eggs.  The portions are large, but that doesn't really make up for the mediocre food at kinda high prices for the midwest.

    I'm reposting this review I wrote back in late 2008:

    My girlfriend and I were eager to try this newcomer to the Quad City restaurant scene. We had dinner there on a recent Wednesday night. She ordered the Maple Glazed Pork Loin ($17.95) and I the Spicy Thai Beef with Soba Noodles ($16.95). My entree was decent though a bit one-dimensional. It was smothered in a soupy barbecue-type sauce, which overwhelmed all other flavors in the dish. I also tried my girlfriend's pork loin, which was a bit overcooked and the spicy pecans which were supposed to top the dish were forgotten. Nothing was bad, but for the prices I expected much better. Ambiance was of typical of a cafe, I just wish the prices were.

    Organized another dinner meeting for professionals in their private room and again received excellent feedback from the attendees.  Three entrees were offered, it was held during Lent and a vegetarian option was available.

    I went here once right after they opened. I wasn't impressed at all with their food/atmosphere/etc. Maybe it has gotten better since then

    My husband and I had breakfast.  It was very fresh, hot and creatively pleasant. Decor is basic and uninspiring, though they do have outside seating.  Will definitely add Cafe Indigo to the restaurant mix. 4 stars based on the food.

    Ooh La La! Le Petit Dejeuner est Belle! (The breakfast is lovely!)  We strolled into Cafe Indigo on a Sunday morning hoping for a Mocha and a semi-fabulous pastry, which is about all you can hope for in the average QC pastry stop!  Absolutely not the case!  The scones and caramel rolls are fantastic!  The full breakfast menu is tantalizing.  I had the homemade hot granola and hashbrown casserole.  Every bite made me a little bit happier!  The strawberry basil waffles looked amazing and the woman at the table next to me was definitely enjoying them as I did the non-chalant table glance.  Village Inn can kiss my grits!  Cafe Indigo is my new Sunday spot!

    Who went:  Wife and I
    When: Lunch 11March2010

    Ordered:
    Me - California Burger
    Wife - Crab cake salad

    Server seemed a bit out of it.  Seemed to take a long time to get ordered, refills, and finally the check.  Was not a quick lunch but the food was worth it.
    We look forward to go back for dinner sometime.  Be a great place to have a business dinner or meet up.

    Cream cheese stuffed french toast, "pan seared" oatmeal and pecan pie french toast. All very good (if not a little TOO sweet). All comes off home-made. Definately recommended.

    A really lovely woman in the pedicure station next to mine at 5 Star Spa recommended Cafe Indigo.  I am very grateful.  A girlfriend & I met up for an 8pm Wednesday dinner, no reservation, and had a delightful experience.  After lots of fun with the interesting wine list and the soup of the day - a creamy delectable red pepper and artichoke with gigantic croutons - we settled into our entrees.   Miz T got the tilapia with  tomato-strawberry chutney on our (very knowledgeable & personable) server's advice.  I wanted a salad but the crabcakes caught my eye & our server then said they had a crabcakes salad that for some reason was not on the menu.  I promptly said yes, but was so deep in conversation I forgot to ask for my usual dressing on the side.  Now I am not a calorie-counting ascetic.  I love fat.  But drenching salad in oil/cream/hydrogenated garbage ruins the texture & flavor of good greens.  So when my plate arrived with cakes atop a visible layer of thick dressing coming between them and the lettuce, I cursed my forgetfulness.  But then I took a bite.  The cakes were lovely - lump crab with a delicious breading holding them firmly but gently together.  And the dressing turned out to be an aioli-esque sauce that, shared between cake and lettuce, was just the right amount for me, and I am pretty sparing with the goopy stuff.  I savored a cake & half the salad and felt perfectly satisfied - so I saved the rest for lunch (it was solidly tasty the next day).  Then dessert was suggested, specifically cheesecake.  Now I do not care for cheesecake:  I think it's heavy and generally flavorless and even the chocolate versions are easy for me to resist.  So I said sure, I'll have a bite.  Well this cheesecake was like nothing I've had before.  With almost a ricotta-like fluffiness and almost invisible crust, it was delicate and sweet/sour with a lovely chocolate sauce.  Color me amazed.    

    I am so thrilled to discover Cafe Indigo.  My meal with soup, entree salad & glass of wine was $36 with tip.  Delightful.  Only bummer: the odd hours.  Brought the husband back last night and they were closed at 9pm.  I am hoping to get there for brunch this weekend!

    Based on Yelp reviews, we tried breakfast here.  My husband loved his "Ultimate Breakfast" which had enough for three people.  I had the waffles with strawberries and basil.  This tasted great but was not visually appealing, since they used frozen strawberries and sauted the basil so that it was dark and slimy looking.  I suggested to the waiter (who also cooks there) that they blend the strawberries and fresh basil together for a sauce that would be better looking and still taste good.  The little waffles were good, too.  We'll try this place again when we're in town.  By the way, I thought service was slow, too.  If the waiter had used a tray, he would have reduced his visits to our table by 2/3s.

    The best breakfast in town at really affordable prices.  Great fresh food at the same price as the fast food drive thru lane.

    This is the restaurant for anyone with any preference for any genre of food. I can't say enough about the healthy, delicious, gourmet dishes for breakfast, lunch, and especially dinner.  They also deliver at lunchtime and cater. Carry out is available and especially convenient for breakfast. This restaurant is owned by a young married couple who certainly know how to prepare food and run a smooth operation, I think this is the best food in town.
