50 Best Coffee Shops near Griffith

“I rate on a planetwide scale, and don't give out 5 stars lightly. Maybe it's really a 4.5, but for northern Indiana it's about 7 stars. This place is just delightful. Yummy and creative sandwiches, salads, and breakfast things with amusing descriptions. I had the grilled cheese with saurkraut and bourbon-carmelized onions. Small but good selection of pastries. About 20 varieties of loose leaf teas. They do their own chai and miraculously it's not oversweetened. Could use more cardamom, but that's a personal preference. Friendly, cheerful, funny staff. I was there around dinnertime on a cold February Wednesday and of the dozen tables only three were occupied. Plus a couch on which a couple of geeky teenagers were talking and flirting quietly. Several power outlets. Decor that day was a mixture of Valentine's cards (maybe seasonal), plus various bits of local art, and some geek culture figures (The Ticket, Rorschach from The Watchmen). Backs of chairs have random bits of macrame weaved through them. There's a delicate and happy-making mural of birds and a tree in the bathroom. Free wi-fi with password.

[Update: 21Jun26 - Dropped by without realizing I'd been there before. They don't seem to do their own chai anyway, but otherwise it's still wonderful. A couple of outdoor tables on the sidewalk, which is now important to me in permanent pandemic world.]“

“Cafe Fresco is the best coffee shop in Crown Point. Employees are great and always smiling while making your delicious beverage. The owner, Breanne is one of the most genuine and amazing people I know and you should try out Cafe Fresco.“

“Huge variety of drinks and tasty treats 😋 I prefer them over Starbucks ANY DAY. The employees are always so friendly and helpful. An incredible establishment :)“

“This is my spot and I love the excellent service I get from Lindsey. My matcha and lemonade are always extra sweet 😋 as I usually ask for. 😋 Thanks Lindsey for making my morning's and thanks to the staff for making these excellent sweet drinks.“

“We had the best time visiting the cafe! The staff could not be any kinder. There are so many cute shirts and other merch items available for purchase. The kitties are all so precious, and you can tell that they are very well loved and taken care of as they wait for their furever homes. Applications for the cats are very thorough, and they make sure that the adoptive parents are the purrfect matches. If you love cats, this is a wonderful place to support, whether you’re looking for your new best friend, or just want a tasty drink or snack while you relax with the cutest cats the Region has to offer!“

“Happened upon this delightful coffee shop today while visiting a nearby business. Tucked away behind Hearts in Motion on 41 it was a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed the Pistachiomallow Latte which was delicious. It is worth the effort to drive past a few other coffee establishments to get to Twin Beans Coffee. I will be back.“

I thank you ladies for making it to work today and these past few days with all this heat. Keep up the good work , keep pushing“

“The wife and I LOVE these coffees. We particularly love the blended coffees (like the cinnamon brown sugar, and carmelicious) because even if you were to forget about your coffee for a few minutes and it melts a little, it still tastes like COFFEE, not watered down coffee. They just have this great taste to them, not so sweet it's over powering. I've seen some comments where people complain about the drinks not being sweet enough? I couldn't disagree more, I mean I get, to each his own but if you wanna be put in a diabetic coma first thing in the morning just say that.“

“If this location gets any slower at making orders, you’ll need to order tomorrow’s coffee yesterday.“

“The waitress was not attentive at all didn't receive silverware ask twice never received it had to get up and get my own off of another table my husband asked about strawberry glaze for the waffles was told by the waitress they didn't do that to finding out at the corner on check out that they did indeed serve strawberry glaze for waffles and pancake waitress never came to check on us My husband's waffle was overcooked was gonna send it back but since the waitress never came back mybhusband ended up just eating it my food was great I had the wild mushrooms omelet with red velvet pancakes with an ice coffee hopefully when we return we get a better waitress also the waitress should take payment at the table it would free up the front end“

We made a quick stop 30 min before they closed. The staff was very welcoming and didn't seem bothered we came before close.

They made our daughter a steamed milk which we were very grateful for.

Thanks for the great experience .“

“Shout out to my favorite Dunkin Donuts store! Shawn consistently delivers excellent customer service and always knows what his repeated customers want. I prefer this store over any other because of the attentive service provided at all times!“

“Hey love you guys! Hooked on the medicine ball tea! Why is everyone out of the teas to make it?? Don’t get it has become my go to drink. I have allergies and sinus issues it soothes my throat and I am addicted but can’t get it anywhere locally. What’s the deal?“

“Stopped in for the first time and was immediately greeted. Food was yummy and I ordered the fall drink as a frappe. They have a book shelf with books for all ages, and crayons and coloring books for littles. 10/10 recommend“

“Donuts are fresh 10/10 recommend“

“I am giving this particular Starbucks only 4 stars because of the length of time you have to wait to place and get your order. I do see how busy they are and I completely understand it's out of their control on how busy it gets, but I hope it does get better. Although, I do have to say that every single one that works there is always super friendly (especially Emily), which makes up for the long lines. Lol.“

“I normally get the brown sugar boba milk tea with oat milk, less sugar, and light ice 10/10 every time. Husband gets the oolong fresh fruit tea or the crush peach fruit tea with strawberry boba 10/10 from him. The staff is friendly and welcome to my husbands shenanigans (he regularly teases people nicely and enjoyed making connections with staff) it’s also connected to a nail shop which is a plus as we’ve gone there to get pedicures before. This is our boba spot.“

“Hands down the best Dunkin in the area, I live in Griffith area and drive past 2 other Dunkin’s to come here. The service is always GREAT, fast, the employees are amazing and super nice and friendly every time. The coffee is PERFECT every time !“

“I always go here the staff is awesome and my coffee always is the same.“

“I'm 73 and this was ABSOLUTELY the BEST drive through experience that I've EVER had! There we 2 cars ahead of me and the ONLY time we stopped moving was to give our orders and pay for the order. Each employee was ready and pleasantly greeted me at the window as we approached. AMAZING! Thank you for helping to get my day off to a great start!“

“Great service from sweet employees. Thank you!“

“My husband and I get our daily coffee from your location. 5/5 ☆ But if you could leave your WE ❤️ YOU and ❤️ off of his cup that would be appreciated. His wife is crazy and so are his daughters. We spends all of his money so if this is a thirst trap good luck. 🤣🤣🤣“

“Great customer service. One of my favorite spots!“

“Great DD--fast, efficient, and very friendly staff. My go-to place for coffee/tea every day.�“

“We Love the Munchkins and the Donuts, but especially the Munchkins! Hahahaha! The Coffee is so much better than that other place... The Service at this particular Dunkin was great! I would highly recommend trying this one out, even if You have to travel a little farther.“

“Great vibes! Dutch bros in general is very similar to other coffee drive-ups. Service was great, but coffee was inconsistent for our visit. My wife’s drink was significantly better than mine, even though we ordered the same thing. Service was so great, and the girl at the counter was so nice I bumped up my review accordingly assuming that my order was an anomaly. I also got my coffee for free for signing up for the app, so not gonna complain about that!
Definitely expect a bit of a wait, especially as everyone is figuring out how good this is.“

“the staff was friendly, she know how to take care of the customers“

“Thank you to this gentleman at Dunkin on Broadway in Crown Point. I thought I put it on the mobile order but when I got here I didn’t, and he made sure I was taken care of.  It was a large order and they jumped right on it. “
