If you haven’t tried The Parthenon yet, you’re missing out! Their hospitality is seriously the best, and everything is made fresh to order. I suggest calling ahead if you’re in a hurry! My go-to items are the fresh salads with their homemade Greek vinaigrette and pita on the side (you can also add a side of meat with your salad) , gyros, spinach pie, mango smoothies, and the iced raspberry mocha. I love that they’ve added chicken to the menu, and I can’t wait to try the breakfast burritos. Great healthy fast-food option in Crawfordsville!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I absolutely love this location and have been a customer since they have opened. They have vegetarian options and are a great place to stop for local coffee. My only complaint is that for some reason, the past few months my experience is always inconsistent. I order my drink the exact same way every time I go, but somehow the price is different every time and it also always tastes different or is made differently. I have been charged anywhere from $5-$9 for the same drink that I order the exact same way. Otherwise, I really enjoy this place. :) Update: Wow! The response I received from the owner is honestly really disappointing! My review wasn't AI, it was my personal thoughts and I honestly thought it was a great genuine review. I complimented the service, despite my complaint. I didn't complain about the price, I simply mentioned that it has been inconsistent the past few times I have been, which was definitely more than 2 weeks ago. I'm more than okay with paying extra for additions to my coffee. And I have in fact paid more than $9, and a various range of prices for a drink that I consistently ordered the same way every time. I started the review by saying "this location" because I often go to numerous places for coffee, I am aware that the Parthenon has been open for many years as I used to be a long term customer before the new owners took over and I moved out of town. If you truly love your customers, listen to their honest feedback instead of being passive aggressive in your responses to them. Many people make customizations to their coffee orders and as someone who used to be a barista, an extra shot of espresso and some syrup shouldn't be an inconvenience at all.. Any good business owner would value consistency in the way things are priced and made, my original review was very much intended to be genuine.

WOW ! What a random, slightly hidden gem. We are new to the area and it had been mentioned by some people familiar to the area. We haven't been back yet for lunch, but we definitely will. The breakfast pastries and handcrafted coffees were so delicious. And you can't beat the price ! Update: Got a smoothie. Again, great service and great product.
