    The espresso bar and menu

    Wonderful spot! I came here for maybe my second time and they are just a great place for coffee and or a good pastry. The barista was very helpful and helping me find dairy, free options and decide on a drink that was appropriate for me. the vibe is very cute and rustic. I cannot wait to come back here. They have a bathroom. They have apple parking. They are various options that are gluten-free and dairy. Free. None to mention. They have a cooler of drinks for those who may be aren't big on coffee. They have Amples seating for meetings or for working.

    From the moment I entered to when I left then I felt welcomed and at ease! Busy spot, but not too loud. The workers were all super friendly and even asked for me to let them know how I liked my Pumpkin Chai that they recommended when I found they don't serve Matcha. I also got a gluten free pumpkin muffin warmed up which was delicious! Along the high seats at the window were several charging spots for working remotely. If I'm ever this way again then I will stop in!

    I had a work meeting here at the suggestion of one of my alumni, I was pleasantly surprised to see how busy it was when I got there. The location is very welcoming and there are different options for seating; you order at the counter and they call you when it is ready, I decided to go with the banana miso latte which was delicious! I didn't think those flavors work work together and they certainly do! It was delicious! I also had some chocolate chip banana bread! All around delicious time! I can't wait to get back here!

    Just off the main drag of Southport Road, you'll find the lovely little coffee shop The Mocha Nut. This is one of those places where you can feel the pride of Indy, with local honey and other products for sale. There's lots of tables for a great place to connect with others or get a little remote work in. One thing that I really appreciated about the coffee shop that I don't really see at other coffee shops is a nice large-font menu. I'll admit that I do need to wear my glasses more, but it's something that helps make a place more accessible when you have an easily readable menu. Anyway, I got a lavender lemonade and an oatmeal cream pie. These items came out within a few minutes of ordering. The cream pie was fantastic and reminiscent of the childhood snack but a much more elevated experience with the most luscious frosting filling. The lavender lemonade was also good, I just wasn't expecting it to be carbonated. Value score (cost to food quality/quantity): 5/5 stars. I think this sweet treat duo was around $10 which is about what I'd expect to spend. Mich-Ellen stars (like the Michelin stars, but I'm Ellen and you're reading my yelp review!): 1 star. This is a great spot for locals who enjoy coffee and a cool spot to visit. A place like this is really only for the locals, so that it keeps its charm! I'd recommend coming, and then coming back again!

    The coffee at Mocha Nut is really good. This time I got a Salted Carmel White Mocha per the recommendation of the Barista and man was it good. The barista was amazing and very helpful. This spot is perfect to do homework or just chill with your friends. The overall atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice and relaxing spot to get coffee.

    First time trying out this coffee shop. Got the lavender latte and it was delicious! The service was fast and efficient! The ambiance was calm and relaxing. Great place to sit and enjoy a nice day.

    I stumbled upon this place taking a wrong turn early Saturday morning. It's close to Longs Bakery. It's a very laid back place and for 830am on a Saturday it was hoping. People playing games, chatting or on their laptops. While waiting someone was on a date there meeting. They sell a few items to eat, muffins, and biscuit and egg sandwiches. I didn't eat but will keep that in mind next time. They sell items there like cups, shirts and other things. The service was great, and the lady at the counter was very helpful. They just came out with their holiday drinks so I got the Gingerbread coffee. Very mild and tasty!!

    I had a delicious iced vanilla latte and a piece of the chocolate chip banana bread. I've been trying more local coffee shops and will definitely return!!

    Several of my coworkers have mentioned Mocha Nut, so when I had a free morning I decided to give it a try. What a wonderful coffee shop! Mocha Nut does everything just right! Great atmosphere, plenty of places to work, good food and great coffee! As it's less than 10 minutes from work, I see myself stopping in on many days where I have a late start!

    Self serve water station, stay hydrated

    I've always passed this coffee shop and wanted to stop inside, and I finally got a chance today. It's a standalone coffee shop with a relaxing vibe inside. They have a parking lot out front, makes it easy to access. I've heard about the banana miso latte through yelp, so I decided to give that a try. I've never had anything like it before. I asked the barista what's inside - banana juice, miso flavoring, 2 shots of expresso, and milk (I opted for oat milk). I chose to dine in and a 16 oz cup which is equivalent to a medium (they have 3 different sizes - 12oz, 16oz, 20oz).The barista was very friendly; she greeted me with a smile and answered all my questions pleasantly. Service was pretty quick, they call your name when your order is ready, and you pick it up from the counter. My latte looked very appealing, I loved the display of the design and the mug it came in. They have several seating options - I really wanted to relax but the relaxing seats were taken, so I opted for a high-top chair with a window view. They do have tables and chairs outside for outside enjoyment. This place would make a great spot for studying, catching up with friends, or getting some self-time in. I really enjoyed sipping my latte and absorbing the ambiance. My latte was delicious, I could taste the notes of each ingredient working together effortlessly creating a savory taste. Music was playing, people were visiting, coffee was brewing in the air, and I was in engrossed in it all. When finished, the dishes are placed in the grey bins which are near a hall to the restroom. They also have a self serve water station, stay hydrated. They have 2 restrooms that are gender neutral, clean, and large in size. Clean restrooms is a plus! I'm glad I was able to stop here and try it out, can't wait to come back.

    Cozy local coffee shop on Indy's Southside. Amazing staff and great coffee along with a few pastry options.

    Large Banana Miso Latte

    The drinks are always delicious and there is a good atmosphere. There's usually a lot of young people working on laptops. The banana miso latte is delicious!

Variety of seating: lounge area, small tables, one large table, and high top tables. Good amount of outlets if you bring a laptop. Because it is Burmese, there are traditional coffee shop options (latte, etc) but also Burmese coffee! They have a baked goods case that was interesting - your avg coffee shop item like croissants and then some Asian cuisine items. They are very friendly. Right now they don't have WiFi but should by next week. I got a plain coffee and it was solid. I added creamer to it since it was a dark roast and I am a baby that only loves light roast Still it was a better dark roast than most. They almost brought the water and then the coffee to my table which is nice. I also love that they are open later than most locally owned coffee shops around here (until 6pm). I'd recommend that folks go! Give them some grace the first few weeks as they get up and running (ex: the WiFi issue just use your phone hotspot if that's an option for now).

I usually order a kids' steamed apple juice and customize it to be warm instead of hot -- and every other store we've visited has always understood exactly what that means. This week, I decided to branch out and try something new for myself -- a grande white mocha with chocolate cold foam and chocolate malt powder. The apple juice was our usual order. Unfortunately, the whole visit left me reconsidering why I came back in the first place. Before my son was born, I boycotted Starbucks for three years. I only came back because this tradition with him felt special. But now I'm seriously thinking about walking away again. First, I was charged an extra $0.50 for chocolate malt powder -- even though they were out of it. No one told me it wasn't available, and no one offered a refund. When I asked, the manager told me I'd have to do it through the app, even though I know the store can handle refunds directly. Second, the apple juice came out steaming hot -- even though it was marked as a kids' drink and customized to be warm. When I politely asked for some ice so my toddler could drink it, the barista responded with a passive-aggressive remark about "there being a toddler option or something" in the app. That's not helpful -- it's condescending. I know how to place an order. Her job is to make it correctly, not comment on it. We still love our Sunday outings -- but if this is the tone and treatment I can expect, there are plenty of other places I can take my son for a treat. A little care and customer service would've made all the difference.
