50 Best Coffee Shops in Indianapolis

“Best place to sit in town and enjoy coffee and pastries. Beautiful ambience and friendly staff. Love going here!!“

“So happy we found Chronic Coffee while we were visiting Indy! Hands Down the cutest and best coffee shop around and quite busy! We ordered The Buddha & The Stash and also ordered Empanadas and a bagel with egg and cream cheese! Everything was so fresh and delicious 🤤
I can see why this little shop is such a big hit!
We also got lucky and got to meet Monika Czinano an Iowa Alum who played with Caitlin Clark and she was very kind to take a photo while waiting for her coffee too!
If you are visiting Indianapolis, also visit Chronic Coffee!“

“We went here after attending the Edgar Allan Poe speakeasy a block away. The food was wonderful! Good presentation and service, too! I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Thee spot on Mass Ave to hang! Best espresso martinis in town!“

“GREAT vibe.. employees are so kind and the best part is the absolute best lattes I’ve ever had. Wish I had this back home.“

“Great Celebratory Cortado Andrew“

“Brickhouse is the best local coffee shop in the area by far. I love their seasonal lattes, but also keep coming back for the ube latte. Be sure to try the baked goods, too. The banana bread is fantastic!“

“Blue mind has creeped up to the top of my favorite coffee shops in Indianapolis! The pricing is reasonable, the vibes are immaculate, music is at a perfect volume, decor is on par, service is friendly and helpful and the lattes and burritos are out of this world! Their ube latte is to die for! I always order a quad shot, Ube latte with oatmilk (hot or Iced, both are great) and my fiancé the same plus the breakfast burritos! Highly recommend!“

“I tried Ascend Coffee for the first time. I love seeing people in a coffee shop. I do not have a problem standing in line. A line is a sign that I am where the good coffee is and my coffee will be hot! My Americano with splash of skim milk and Honey Cardamom syrup is SPOT ON! Then, the pastries I picked up for my husband and I...YES!!!Fig and Goat Cheese Puff; Savory Scone; and Almond Croissant. I snuck a quick bite of all 3 because the only one stopping my curiosity is me! Oh-My-Word! You can bet your last penny that signed up to earn points. As soon as I walked in the door, smelled the aroma of divine espresso and seeing all the people visiting, I knew I found the place for me! It's not just hot and good coffee...you have been transported to another dimension when you meet the amazing people taking your order and fixing your coffee! This is not merely a PLACE, Ascend Coffee is an experience! I earned 9 points at my first visit. To quote the Terminator, "I'll be back!"“

“First time here and we will be back! Tried the tandoori vegetable momos and a veggie wrap with some iced chai. It was so very delicious!!! The staff greeted us with smiles which made us feel comfortable since it was a totally new experience. Very glad to spend our money here.“

“Very quick service! Great communication. Me and my boyfriend had gotten an iced mocha with chocolate swirl whipped cream.“

“Good location, nice atmosphere and good coffee. It was packed when I stopped by for an afternoon iced latte.“

“I pulled into the location in lynchburg va today thinking it was open already and two you the really nice girls walked out and give me free samples!!!! I'm so excited for this to open I'm definitely going to be a regular!!! ❤️“

“Brunch this morning at Gather 22 with Friends was perfect! Perfect atmosphere on a rainy gloomy day ! From service with a smile to great tasty food and some moments shared with friends. Holidays have been hard! But I laughed for the first time in weeks! I will be back !Thank you to the entire front and back of the operations and a shout out to Kylee and Shawn!“

“Great folks who provide great coffee!!“

“My first time today.. I asked the person working what she would recommend and I ended up getting the ice chocolate covered strawberry coffee. I do have to say, it’s pretty delicious. I love the atmosphere here too. Super cute shop. I’ll be back for sure“

“I love going to the shop for the best Irish Spring drink, amazing people, and fun local crafts to buy! It has the perfect atmosphere.“

“nice Latte but need to use coffee☕️ mugs to retain heat instead glass glasses. Good service.“

“Rabble coffee is a chill neighborhood gem on the near eastside of Indy with great vegan options and no up-charge for vegan milks! All the syrups foe the coffees are handmade onsite and they are less sweet than other places. Plus, the drink combos are genius! I make it a point to try every drink special every month. Staff is amazing and this is a safe place for LGBTQIA community members.“

“Staff was so nice and accommodating. The espresso martini was fabulous. The whole vibe is so good there.“

“great selections of locally roasted coffee. this place is great for relaxing or getting things done. fun community events too“

“I had the egg coffee and the spicy crispy pork banh mi. It was very delicious. I would highly recommend if you like authentic Vietnamese banh mi!“

“Cyrus, Masha, Summer, and everyone else work so hard here. Please visit these wonderful folks and get a delicious cup of coffee. They spend more on good quality coffee beans at this location; so much so my friend often gets disappointed by coffee at chain coffee locations.

They are dog friendly and the atmosphere is beautiful for pictures or having meetings. I love going here to study and focus. Everyone is very kind and prices are more than reasonable.“

“Really great coffee shop, with plenty of seating and room to relax, but the best part is the quality of the in-house roasted beans and the service. I found them after purchasing my first home espresso machine, because I wanted to find a place to get freshly roasted beans. Their espresso roast/blend is perfect! I tried a handful from other places, and this is hands-down the best. And the barista is knowledgeable and helpful, plus they give a complimentary cup of brewed coffee whenever I buy a package of beans. They've gone out of their way to let me try different blends/roasts, and they're all outstanding; however, I think I'll stick with the espresso beans for espresso-making, since they're so excellent.“

“You must try the Butterscotch Latte and the Ginger Spice Latte……😋“

“Atmósfere is really good!!! People too kind, food is great, drink are the best, and the place is beautiful.

“Friendly and Helpful staff! I enjoy trying new drinks and have yet to be disappointed. Get the Dragon Fruit Refresher!“

“This place is absolutely fantastic, I recommend it to all my friends!! I always get the chai (you can even add a syrup into it to make it taste like a fruit of your choice). You have to try their sandwiches and their macaroons!!! I will definitely go back!!

“My favorite cafe of all time. I really liked the old location by the river but times change.

This is everything a cafe should be. Great espresso, great milk drinks, great pastries, friendly people. The best cappuccinos I've ever had have come from here.

No outside seating but there are lots of windows. I've been here a thousand times and I will come back a thousand more.“

“I’ll admit that I’m not a well versed coffee or tea drinker, at all but I wanted to give tea a try on this snowy day. I had the pleasure of meeting the barista, Annabelle, who recommended a warm tea that I actually really enjoyed! She was very welcoming, conversational and recommended how long I should steep the tea for because I had no clue. Wonderful experience all around and the wood & vintage feel all contributed to this great experience. Thanks Annabelle!“

“Delicious!! Found this place on Google and decided to give it a try. I drink matcha and asked which flavor they recommended, so I tried the brown sugar matcha with almond milk. Wow, was it ever yummy! Service was friendly and helpful. My cousin got a latte and said it was awesome. We’ll definitely be back to try more!“
