CAFE MOCHIKO
A bakery by day and restaurant by night, Cafe Mochiko puts a modern, playful twist on traditional flavors. (CincinnatiStyle Ramen with warm chili broth and a heap of shredded cheddar? Genius.)
Co-owner Elaine Uykimpang Bentz says, "We make items that are representative of my own upbringing as an Asian American."

HARMONY TEA SHOPPE
Step into bubble tea bliss (or rather, sip it through a straw) at Harmony Tea Shoppe's multiple metro Indy locations. Quality rules here. Teas are sweetened with a special-recipe cane sugar syrup; the boba (tapioca pearls) are cooked fresh every few hours; and you can add fruits such as avocado, pomelo, coconut, mango and watermelon. Each outpost has other offerings, too, such as ramen, poke bowls or mochi doughnuts.
