Courtney's originally from the East Coast, but has found a charming new home in Indiana. She loves checking out local music, reading, and trying new food. She's also a little too addicted to coffee and has a Maine Coon cat she answers to.
It’s great to live in modern day Indiana, with apps to deliver food to you and online ordering options. While this technology is great, it can get a little overwhelming. Wouldn’t it be nice to step back in time and enjoy classic American food without all the fuss? This nostalgic 1950s diner in Indiana is the perfect retreat from your busy life.
Slip back into the past at Rock-Cola '50s Cafe, located on the east side of Indianapolis. This quaint cafe is tiny, but bursting with vintage charm.
When you step inside the retro eatery, you'll be blown away with the authentic vintage design. From the black and white checkered floor to the powder teal booths and bar stools, you'll know you've entered somewhere unique.
From floor to ceiling, you'll find incredible 50s memorabilia that will have you feeling nostalgic. From movie posters to celebrity images to vintage artwork and light fixtures, there's no shortage of charm packed inside of this itty bitty diner.
Another nostalgic item you'll find here is Choc-ola, a chocolate milk beverage that was invented in the '40s in Indianapolis and became popular across the country in the 50s. Choc-ola is difficult to find now, but this retro diner has it in spades.
Rock-Cola is also rumored to have the absolute best breakfast in the city, if not all of central Indiana. You'll find heaping portions of traditional items like eggs and pancakes here.
For vintage charm and a delightful retreat from modern life, be sure to visit Rock-Cola '50s Cafe. You'll find them daily at 5730 S Brookville Rd, Indianapolis, IN 46219.
