The Runcible Spoon

The Runcible Spoon has served the Bloomington and IU community since 1976, and it describes itself as one of Indiana's oldest coffee roasteries. The name comes from a line in an Edward Lear poem. The business calls the space a cozy, eclectic cafe with good food, great coffee and a warm, welcoming vibe.

The Spoon serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Its website posts separate menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert, weekend versions of breakfast and lunch, and an allergen guide. You can order online, make a reservation or join the waitlist from the site, and there are pages for a drinks menu and private events.
