31 Best Cafes near Zionsville

“I absolutely loved my experience at Rosie’s Place! This charming breakfast spot has such a cozy, welcoming vibe with its exposed brick walls, rustic farm-style decor, and black-and-white photos that really give it character. The food was incredible—flavorful, fresh, and definitely worth returning for! A special shoutout to our waitress, Trisha, who was amazing—on top of everything and made the whole experience feel even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back for the atmosphere, service, and of course, the fantastic food. Highly recommend!“

“5 stars isn’t enough!
I live on the south side of Indy, but found myself in Zionsville for a meeting—and I’m so glad I stumbled into Roasted in the Village. With so many coffee shop options nearby, this gem stood out in the best way.

From the moment I walked in, the energy was amazing. The staff was not only incredibly kind, but genuinely curious about what brought me in. The conversation felt natural and welcoming—not forced—which made the whole experience feel personal and sincere.

I set up shop for a few hours to get some work done, and the vibe was perfect: cozy, calm, and full of community. It was a joy watching the regulars filter in alongside first-timers, and the baristas treated everyone with the same friendly enthusiasm and big smiles.

I had a simple drip coffee, but their menu was packed with great options—including some really creative seasonal drinks. Whether you’re local or just passing through, this place is 100% worth the stop. I’ll absolutely be back—maybe even without a meeting to bring me to this side of town!“

“Never disappoints! You can tell a great restaurant by its coffee. Their coffee is always strong and robust.“

“The best cakes, like seriously, the BEST. Both locations are wonderful and have the kindest staff but tonight I happened to go to the Zionsville one. I promised my kiddos cake and almost had to go home empty handed due to timing but the staff made sure that didn’t happen, thank you so much! You guys made our night. I hardly ever leave reviews, but my family is so impressed by homemade that I have now left TWO. Everyone should give this place a chance. (Oh and the French Dip deserves a special mention!)“

“Great folks who provide great coffee!!“

“Patachou rocks. Not only is the food superb. Their restrooms are always clean and the service is great. They also take the time to watch out for their patrons when they misplaced their valuables I’m a customer for life. Now if I could just get another cup of their banana nut coffee. Best cup I’ve ever had“

“My husband stopped in and was greeted like an old time friend. The staff was inviting, friendly, and warm and gave recommendations and advice when my husband didn’t know what to order. What they didn’t know was that the night before, we were rushed to Peyton Manning children’s hospital for our daughter to have emergency surgery and our spirits were low and we were hanging on by a thread mentally for the past two days sick with worry for our daughter. Without knowing, they lifted his spirits and mood for the first time in days just by being so welcoming and friendly. No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. We will be returning every single time we are in the area with our daughter. (now on the road to recovery) Thank you all for being so kind and gracious. 🥰💜“

“I first heard about The Health Club through a friend and purchased their beverages at the local grocery to give them a try. I tried both the Huckleberry Lemonade and the Cucumber Mint. They are both very good but I lean more towards the Huckleberry Lemonade. After battling months (maybe even close to a year) not being able to sleep well at
- after drinking one of these I honestly had the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a long time. And now I refuse to go to sleep without drinking one of these first.

Then I decided to visit their Tap Room and Cafe with my friend. I love the warm and inviting atmosphere - it really is a wonderful place to sit and relax or catch up on some office work. Another feature that I enjoyed was that they featured local artists on their walls for decor that is available for purchase. Their outside deck space is also quite nice.

The barista was so friendly and very helpful in making suggestions for me on what to get. The coffee cake was outstanding. And the owner was so open and welcoming. He answered all of my questions and helped me pick out some products that would be most beneficial for my needs. I loved hearing his story and his why behind starting his business. It makes the place even more special. Can’t wait to be back to try some of that avocado toast.“

“Great food and drinks, amazing desserts!“

“Perfect venue for our daughter's Baby Shower. They have a beautiful upstairs private area for events. Our family and guests were well accommodated. Their dining and catering menu were surprisingly great also delicious! Outstanding service and we highly recommend you consider 'Just Pop In!' Hidden gem in Broad Ripple right by the Monon.“

“The ambiance of the Penthouse was a wonderful throwback to elegant quietness. The student waitstaff could not be more enthusiastic and willing to cater to our every need. The French cuisine was beautifully prepared. My wife enjoyed the charcuterie. My salmon Rillette was beautifully presented (if, a little tasteless. My only minor complaint). Wife had the Coq au Vin. It was excellent. I had the poached fish. The Beurre Blanc was sublime! Despite our concern that we didn't have enough room for dessert, my wife wasted no time gobbling up her Creme Brulee and I wasted no time digging into my pumpkin cheesecake. A wonderful experience that we will do again.“

“Class is nice . But I wish to have more class in the morning around 7am or 8am..“

“The ambiance is unmatched & THE TEA! I had to buy the tin so I could experience it at home too. Oh and the customer service, sheesh. They sure know how to make a girl feel special. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 🙌🏾“

“My 2nd time here and everything is amazing! My son tried the fresh strawberry fruit tea and loved it. My favorite is the jasmine tea and it’s guilt free 0 sugar! These are not your regular donuts! Must try!“

“We had lunch and also got carry out for the next evening’s dinner. Couldn’t be more pleased! Beautifully prepared, great taste and ample portions. Highly recommend!!“

“Food was 4 due to price vs size. Expected higher price but the sandwich I got was 1/2 a standard sandwich size (the Rolled something or other sandwich)...
Also, and a BIG negative was - we typically won't eat at a restaurant with no prices on the menu. This experience solidified that goal by serving us 2 Plastic Cups of Tap Water that cost us $5.00 plus tax ... No mention was made that "We do have to charge for water" or anything... Just boom, on the bill and paid... (These were clear plastic 10 oz with some ice which quickly melted)... Talk about something that makes good food leave a bad taste in your mouth..

There is limited seating outside where we did eat, but nothing special ...

2 sandwiches, 2 glasses of water and a cup of coffee...$31.00 Menus with prices would have made us prepared and conditioned for the cost ... Now we're just not going back ever..“

“First time eating here, staff was quick and friendly during somewhat busy of time. Food was above average just different style than I am used to eating. Seating is a little close together so not very wheel chair friendly as I had to ask 2 people to please stand up and move their chair to get my dad to our table. Overall was good and nice place to eat.“

“Love the food, service was great .“

“Called in to get help with an issue with our commercial coffee maker and based on the description, a tech called us back and recommended a way for us to solve the problem on our own without paying for their service fee. Truly above and beyond help and very thankful for the heart to serve rather than cash grab. First people we will call if we have any issues in the future!“
