21 Best Coffee Shops in West Lafayette

“I came in looking for something new and Trevin, your barista, recommended the gold and black. It was the best coffee drink I’ve ever had. He was friendly, helpful and gave great service. Thanks for a great experience and a great recommendation! I can’t wait to come back soon!“

“Enjoyed having gypsy Joe travel to Monticello for a community event. I love the variety of having a hot drink in the morning when it was cold outside and a cool drink when it warmed up in the afternoon. Ordered and will be getting again: SOUL SOOTHER Hot Cocoa Gypsy Fuel LOVE POTION“

“Vienna is a pillar for community and inclusion in West Lafayette. The owner treats customers like family and all are welcome. I can’t imagine my hometown without this place.“

“Easily the strongest coffee program in Lafayette, in terms of bean selection (including a fun co-ferment?!), drinks, barista training, and equipment. Visited multiple times over the course of a week and they nailed the drinks and the service every time.

Beans are roasted in Carmel, IN and are done fully in-house. They are neither private labelling nor do they roast via bellwether.

Cortados and pourovers were on point and served in real glassware, rather than just to-go cups. I wish the Colombia pourover had more extraction, but the other pourovers were still prepared well.

The shop does not feel like a library, despite being study/work friendly. You can have conversations without it being awkward. Modern third-wave shop vibes.

The location on Google Maps takes you to the rear of the shop, as a heads up. There’s ample parking in the rear lot.“

“Stopped for a coffee, no problems there.

Edit: Fast and professional communication has convinced me that the problems I encountered were a rare fluke, and I agree with the shared policies related to my concerns. Thank you Java House Team.“

“Great place to study and meet friends“

“Fuel is awesome. I spent over 5 years at Purdue and Fuel on Northwestern Ave was a fixture throughout my PhD. So much so that it earned an honorable mention in the acknowledgements section of my thesis. The coffee is always great and so is the food. I have bought many packs of beans from them too (emphasis on the word many). I was back in West Lafayette this weekend for the commencement and had lunch there with my parents. As always, the food was delicious. Whenever I come back to West Lafayette, I'll be back at Fuel for at least a coffee and Zucchini bread. I urge you to do the same.“

“Great place to study and meet friends“

“My wife and I went to the Java House booth at the Snap On 250 Milwaukee Mile. The staff was helpful and friendly. I had a decaf cold brew that was very good! I would have it again. My wife had a hydration drink that was good also.“

“I recently had an issue with an online delivery service taking half an hour to assign a delivery driver and another estimated half hour for my order to get to me. I had ordered an iced drink which I knew would be completely melted and diluted by that point, so I called the store I had ordered from (this store, #2478) where I talked to a super nice and empathetic barista (I think her name started with a K), who listened and suggested/offered really great solutions. 100/10 customer service. Later when I received my order after cancelling and using a different delivery service I received this lovely note. Thank you!!“

“This is my wife and I’s favorite restaurant in the Greater Lafayette area. #1!! We regularly go for brunch. Drinks are amazing. Out door seating area is very nice. I’ve never had an unpleasant experience here and have even had conversations with other patrons while enjoying the patio area.“

“Great food, reasonable prices, very clean!“

“Their desserts are so good! We really love their mango mille crepe cake and their regular crepes. Our most recent order included cute art too! It's ironic because we actually have cats and fish as pets so I really loved this personalized touch on our cup/bag! So cute!

I highly recommend giving this place a try, usually won't be disappointed.“

“I had a nice visit to the 7Brew in West Lafayette today. My go to drink is the strawberry smoothie, but today I was wanting something different. The employee explained all the flavors available for smoothies and even suggested mixing flavors. Great customer service!“

“⭐ My favorite coffee shop on campus! ⭐
Best coffee and the friendliest staff. Here are some drinks I’ve tried and loved (or my friend did!):

☕ Iced Latte with Vanilla Syrup – A true classic that never disappoints. The beans are smooth and flavorful. Definitely my go-to once I’ve tried everything else on the menu!

🍮 Cloudy Salted Caramel – A little on the sweeter side for me, but my friend loved it. Perfect if you like dessert-style drinks.

🍵 Dubai Chocolate Matcha – Unique and highly recommended if you enjoy pistachio-like flavors. I absolutely love this one ❤️

🍫 In a Minute – One of their signatures. Dark chocolate + cinnamon + espresso = perfection. The cinnamon blends so well—cinnamon lovers, this one’s for you!“

“Divine! Taro milk tea is so good, match ube fantastic, above average ingredients, fresh milk and tangy fruit juices, that grape mixer, wild! It should be five, no, ten stars! But can't, they have some real issues to fix. WIFI is limited to one hour, why is that? How silly dumb to cut off internet with these prices on a college campus where homework never takes less than an hour. The parking costs money too here during the weekdays until seven. Imagine paying for two hours parking then find your internet only goes half that. It's a joke. Prices are obnoxious with these extra problems. I'm a massive fan of the purple drink, grape and yogurt, really nice. Thai tea isn't as good as their Kinn neighbor or other tea places but Oreo tea, Match cold brew, and ube is fantastic. Halloween specialty drink is nearly eight bucks yet tiny. Doesn't taste that great either, oreo, Thai tea, and ube? It's a pretty looking beverage but impossible to mix in the small container, milk foam sits on the top, not a win. Fix that WIFI and maybe try blackberry, Thai tea, and that tasty white foam on top. Also why no personal cup discount? There should be a substantial dollar benefit bringing in my own container to reduce waste, ease your trash and business overhead, and most importantly: motivate loyalty! Bringing in a personal cup shows I am serious and want to become so frequent every staff member recognizes me. That's what I'm getting at here with these three issues. Feng Cha needs to step up its game and act the prices it charges so Purdue can fully embrace this place.“

“Remy (I really hope I'm spelling her name right) was an amazing barista at this location. She was able to accommodate me and went above and beyond in her service. She was so sweet and kind when she didn't have to be. She deserves a raise! Wonderful experience and an even more wonderful barista.“

“This Starbucks is at a good location. There’s a lot of space for parking and for seating inside the store. The interior is also good and likable. I enjoy going there and sitting there with my laptop for my work because of all these reasons.“

“Not the fanciest coffee shop, but my favorite coffee spot on campus no question. I'm a graduate student and Lavazza perfectly fits my coffee needs during the work week. Helps that there for coffee is roughly 50 cents cheaper than other near by coffee shops.“

“I really really enjoy the food they serve at Harrison Grill. It's a great complement to the dining courts and it's awesome for Sunday nights or any late night cravings. The menu has great variety and is not horribly expensive. Easily my favorite place to use my dining dollars.“

“If Rolling Bowl has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Rolling Bowl has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Rolling Bowl has only one fan then that is me. If Rolling Bowl has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Rolling Bowl, then I am against the world.“
