Indigo Bridge

still worth the detour to south 17th, even when the rest of your day has better ideas. indigo bridge sits at 1624 s 17th st, a strip of lincoln that doesn't announce itself loudly, and that's part of why it works. you get the sense that the people behind the counter are paying attention, not just moving orders. locals have been returning long enough to make the place feel like a fixed point in the neighborhood rather than a discovery. it's independently run, which in practical terms means decisions about what to serve and how to serve it don't get made in a boardroom somewhere else. on a slow weekday morning, that distinction is pretty easy to feel. come for the coffee, and plan to stay a little longer than you meant to on s 17th.
