50 Best Coffee Shops in Indianapolis

“So good I came back twice during my visit! Everything was great, the smoothies and coffee were refreshing. I added cold foam to my iced latte - highly recommend. And the breakfast sausage empanadas were delicious. I also really appreciated how they managed being busy, they'll hold the order line to get caught up on food/beverages making it an even wait time for everyone and you know exactly what to expect. Overall 10/10 experience, just wish they were in my hometown!!“

“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.“

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

“Great Celebratory Cortado Andrew“

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

“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!!! ❤️“

“Excellent food that shouldn't be missed. Blink and you'll miss this gem of Eritrean/Ethiopian cuisine.“

“Tried two drinks one special don't remember the name but it only came iced and had mint in it. AMAZING lightly savory so nice. And ube which you know is good because salamat. I gave 4 star because the food was inedible. Which isn't their fault because they don't make it. But it was nasty 😕. Got hash burrito. Dry and flavorless but a EXTREME raw onion taste. Tried to eat it with the salsa which was weirdly sweet but then it was just sweet onion taste. Again not their fault they didn't cook it but I did just throw it away. I couldn't power through. Will be back for drink tho“

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

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

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“A friend told me about this cafe. And it was exactly the kind of place I was looking for. The food is good, staff is great, but what stood out was the atmosphere. Cozy is an understatement, the rooms are decorated with a warm and alluring vibe, the seats are comfy, and the aura is welcoming. Perfect little spot to relax or enjoy some peace.

Oh, and the door is red.“

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

“My husband and I wanted to try a new place today! If you know the energy sport they have something called the dirty Elvis. This place didn’t have it but I asked if they could make it. He said yes! Anything for the customer! Asked me what is contained and he made it!! Was so good the atmosphere here was amazing very nice people amazing service! Would definitely recommend!!!“

“Wonderful coffee and super friendly staff.“

“just bought some blueberry lea flower tea fast shipping great product will be getting more“

“Absolutely fantastic!“

“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!“

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

“We always enjoy seeing the cats. And I time my morning caffeine intake to allow for getting a latte during the visit.“

“Provider has it all! if you are a morning person and need some deliciously curated coffee...provider. if you need live music on the weekends...provider. If you need delicious cocktails....provider. If you need delicious food ...provider. If you need a place with cool events.....provider. If you're riding your bike down the mono and need a stop to chill....provider. Need I say more? Great place for everyone!“

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

“Seven brew is killing Starbucks For it to be such a long line sometimes out of the streets the lines move in seconds, and I think that is recommendable and the orders always come out exactly as ordered. The prices are killing Starbucks and their drinks are way bigger to me. The Blondie is my favorite but today I looked at the rest of the menu and I look forward to trying all of their drinks like they have such a huge variety. I have to get one from each variety they have.“

“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!“

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

“In on a work trip from Alabama, and this was by far the best meal we had. One of the best I have ever had. Violet was amazing and so attentive. We shared the Alfredo fries, and I had the fillet and cheesecake for desert. The atmosphere was amazing. She even gave us a tour of the building.“

“The coffee was delicious and the baristas were great“

“Love the atmosphere, what a great coffee shop!“

“I 100% recommend going to the Groovy Cafe. Not only do they LITERALLY have the best coffee, but they have so many options for coffee drinks. The chocolate is beyond!! I really enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. It’s also the perfect location to get work done, or just to simply relax. The Néw proprietors never skimp on anything. Trust me, you will thank me later.“

“I am a frequent visitor. Every drink, every sandwich and even the vibe each day is one of a kind spectacular! So thankful to have this wonderful cafe just down the street from my house!“

“I really enjoy the redefined ho boutique in Greenfield. Always has a wide selection. Feels good to help with this cause!“

“The green tea is fantastic... fresh... and light and makes the taste buds dance... tried it at J. Alexander's restaurant will be ordering!!!!“

“You can tell a lot of thought and care went into the design and aesthetics of this place. It's concrete floors and exposed ducts, but somehow they've made it super cozy, mellow and welcoming.

My coffee was great and the folks working the counter were perfectly friendly and fast. I'm looking forward to coming back to try some of the baked goods and cocktails.

This is a nice chill place to start your morning or end your evening. The coffee and cocktail menu appears to include the classics along with a constantly changing creative mix of non-alcoholic and alcoholic options. It's the Radiohead of coffee/cocktail shops with friendly baristas and bartenders.“

“I had a banana pancake latte and a spinach feta croissant. The latte flavoring was very complex and interesting but I'd have to say spinach feta croissant was the best I've ever had. Those soft and flaky very flavorful. The atmosphere was very nice. The obvious was authentic. I will definitely be back , when I return I will order a more simple latte. Maybe a vanilla latte? I would recommend folks to check this out. Nice hidden gem!“

“I appreciate Normal's quiet, open space and enjoy bottomless coffee! More co-workung space than a hustle and bustle coffee shop but with welcoming vibes, and inspiring workers ❤️ ☕️“

“I stopped in today for a business meeting to discuss Q4 real estate goals. I was greeted when I entered. There were a lot of drinks to choose from on the menu. You have the optior of adding an enhancer which I declined. I chose the blackberry lemon shake up. It was 10/10 Not too sweet and not too bitter. The bathroom was clean. I was able to have my meeting without having to yell. The music selection was really nice. The place is really vibey anc intimate.“

“Food was delicious and had great service“

“The food was excellent! The Galette Bretonne was very tasty. I ordered the biscuit sandwich to go and I have to say it was the best biscuit I’ve had since going gluten free (over 15 years ago). It wasn’t a crumbly mess and was just like regular biscuits. I highly recommend Fire and Ice!“

“Fantastic local coffee shop.“

“Such a hidden gem on the East side! Great coffees and bagel egg breakfast sandwich is really good! Plenty of room to hang out with friends, maybe get a little work done, or enjoy some "me" time.“

“I was looking for another hidden gem local coffee place on my trip in Indy. I most definitely found one I’ll be keeping up with in 2 Cuos A Day Cafe. What a welcoming friendly environment with great coffee and values.“

“Awesome donuts and boba! Always good when I go“
