50 Best Coffee Shops in Indianapolis

“I stopped here for coffee and ended up getting a latte to go. The latte was smooth and delicious, and the staff seemed professional and polite. The interior looks nice, but this doesn’t really seem like a coffee shop meant for spending a lot of time in. There wasn’t much seating I could see, so this is definitely more of a takeout spot. It was definitely good coffee though.“

“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.“

“delicious chai, empanadas and tres leches cake, relaxed cozy atmosphere and wonderful people“

“Love this place! Mom of 3, love to order online and curbside pick up. Very convenient for my busy life:)“

“Great Celebratory Cortado Andrew“

“Hidden little gem at the downtown City Market. This was the highlight of our trip! Best coffee hands down!! 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!"“

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

“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!!! ❤️“

“Best coffee shop in INDIANA!
Perfectly roasted beans and coffee everytime. The baristas are quick, and many have won awards for coffee making! Great for sitting down and enjoying in their beautiful coffee shop or taking it to go. Lots of food options also. Highly recommend the Ube Latte!
Skip, the big white pup, recommends the pup cups.“

“Very cute and welcoming shop with excellent coffee and treats.“

“I just so happened to stumble upon this cute adorable refreshing place on Google. The owner was very nice and informative. It was my first time visiting the owner was very helpful with everything. I didn’t order any food however I can tell it must be very delicious. The aroma in the air was so alluring, I wanted to walk into their kitchen I felt so at home. Another reason I could tell they must have great food. It’s because there was a lady at a table enjoying a waffle breakfast that must have been delicious because she was all into it and I even saw her pull out her phone to post her meal. I tried A watermelon refresher drink it was exactly how it sounds exploding with watermelon flavor and so so refreshing. I would 10 out of 10 recommend that you try this drink or any other drinks or anything that they have to offer because why not? They are so friendly. Everything seems to be done with care and appreciation for the customers. I told the owner I would definitely be coming back for another visit and that I would tell everyone I know about this place it’s worth bragging about.“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you’re looking for the gold standard of cold brew, Java House is it. Their signature brew is incredibly smooth, never bitter. It’s my go-to spot for catching up with friends or meeting colleagues because the atmosphere is just right. Plus, their seasonal menu drops are always creative and worth the wait!“

“These teas are seriously the best. Just to smell them makes your mouth water and the taste is just as good. Service has been excellent and shipping very fast. Love supporting small, local, family owned businesses. Makes great holiday drinks and to give as gifts. My new go to ♥️♥️“

“Food & Coffee was great! Nice atmosphere, but definitely not enough seating.“

“This Horror-themed coffee shop is very visually appealing! Horror movies are not a huge thing for me as they actually make me laugh, but I like different so I have been wanting to try this place! It is a small area to sit in, but we went on a late Monday morning to which it was not as busy! The latte I had was filled with good flavor! And Alex got a smoothie which I had to try and it was amazing! He loved it as well! The barista was so beyond friendly! Very top notch! Good vibes and wonderful drinks! Definitely recommend! Plenty of parking, but in a location within a short walking distance to many stores located in Fountain Square! Definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

The food was delicious, the service was fantastic, and the ambience was hard to beat, with a talented musician duo playing beautifully in the background. We discussed at length how we couldn't wait to bring guests there, as it was the perfect setting for beautifully (and deliciously!) made drinks and catching up. It's a new favorite, for sure.“

“I think this is the best coffee I have had in Indianapolis. The prices are reasonable. The service is friendly. The atmosphere is fine: Clean and comfortable but politically charged. The latter does not bother me, but I think it might be important for some first time visitors to know beforehand.“
