19 Best Coffee Shops in West Lafayette

“I come here at least once a week to get coffee before studying and I’ve never been disappointed. The coffee is great, lovely atmosphere of the Union hotel, and the baristas are always kind and efficient. Shoutout to Liz, Daija, Daniel, and Gigi for always making the experience great!!!“

“Great flavors, very reasonable prices, & Ashley is a great person.“

“The coffee at ICR is so good, you can't just get this level of quality anywhere. It is a special curated cup, whatever bean / region / roast they may be serving from month to month. I also dig the minimalist approach to the menu and the atmosphere. Super chill and no frills.

Parking: Parking is limited street side, but if you pull around the back of the building, you'll find a lot there for the residents you can park in. Sometimes hard to find a spot, but it is easy to cycle to if you're relatively close to campus.“

“Used to be copper Moon. Java House has had a wonderful job with their coffee selection and what they offer. A really good place to grab a bite to eat in the morning or a coffee to go! There are a couple of them in West Lafayette and lots around the state. Go check them out!“

“Great place to study and meet friends“

“This starbucks is really great in the summer. Short lines and friendly staff who know how to make the drinks quickly.During the semester, it's very busy and you can wait a long time before getting your drink, plus the batistas are often new and inexperienced.“

“I just genuinely had such a lovely experience here. Lexi was so sweet. We connected so well and honestly I wish I could’ve left a tip on the card, the service was great. Ill absolutely make the sandwich and latte I got a regular part of my day :)) I’m so excited y’all set up shop!!“

“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.“

“I ordered cashew curry chicken sandwich and it was even better than I expected! Delicious. I will definitely go back.“

“Pictured are the egg and shrimp sandwich, 2 mango drinks, green tea smoothie, and mochi. All are delicious and I regularly get them. I really like that mango mango occasionally has promotions/deals. Would recommend. Pricey but delicious and the vibe of the restaurant is super cute. Would recommend for a trip with friends“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Early Bird Cafe, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing weekend brunch. The menu offered a fantastic variety of dishes, from classic breakfast favorites to unique and creative options. I tried the chilaquiles with scrambled eggs with an add on of chorizo and it was simply divine fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that every detail was taken care of. Overall, Early Bird Cafe exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch brunch experience!“

“Nice building with a cozy interior, comfortable seating, and a bustling atmosphere. They also have great drinks, which my favorite is the Mango Fantasy. Service was good, staff is nice. Not much else to say other than the fact that I will come back!

Vegetarian options: I didn’t see anything that had meat in it… they serve drinks and cakes so I doubt their menu is carnivorous.

Dietary restrictions: I am lactose intolerant myself and still was able to drink their milk drinks since they were made with lactaid milk. Not sure about gluten though.

Parking: There is a free parking garage that’s like a basement, it will be challenging to find it but it’s there.

Kid-friendliness: There are a bunch of board games, Jenga and a loud, bustling atmosphere so children will fit right in and most likely won’t grab everyone’s attention/judging eyes.“

“I’ve been going to Fuel for years, first when it started downtown, then moved to Five Points and then expanded to this location. They’ve always offered an amazing selection of coffee, snacks and food that are always worth it! Banana pancakes and french toast are the bomb! I’ve probably had everything on the menu at least once and it never disappoints! Colleen has also done a wonderful job at making Fuel a community stop for Lafayette friends and family. As long as I’m in Lafayette, I’ll always be going to Fuel for a reset on the busyness & chaos of life! ?“

“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.“

“Java House is a great place to grab some coffee or food! The staff are nice and the coffee was amazing. They have a nice variety of drinks and small things to eat if you need a snack. It's located near campus on Vine Street. The space was formally leased by cooper moon as well. Street parking available, but fills up very fast. Go check them out!“

“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.“
