A unique coffee house located on the outskirts downtown Indianapolis. Inside decoration are horror movie themed. I end up selecting a hot Candyman Latte, it tasted excellent with the right amount of sweetness with a good coffee flavor. I also tasted the Ghost Face Latte hot & cold, I wasn't big on the raspberry flavor, the cold was better than the hot. The service was helpful as they did make recommendations when asked. I would definitely return to this place! The only downside is the crazy road construction going on in the area.
We popped in on our way out of town on Sunday around 11:30am. We were able to snag the last free parking spot in the parking lot behind the building. There is a paid parking lot next door as well as street parking available. This place is a Halloween/horror movie-lover's dream! There was decor everywhere from custom sneakers to movie collectables. We didn't mind to stand in line because there was so much to look at. There were a few cafe tables inside the cafe as well as several tables outside. Most all tables were taken. We ordered the Pennywise, Never Sleep Again, & Jamon Queso empanada (the baristas recommendation). Our drinks came out pretty quickly. The Pennywise was good but I was jealous I didn't get the Never Sleep Again - it was so cinnamony and delicious. The empanada took about 15 minutes. But again, we were in no rush. While we were waiting on the empanda we were able to see what everyone else ordered before us. A lot of people ordered the blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese. It smelled delicious. Our empanada was just okay flavor-wise. The inside of the empanada was not full by any means. Next trip I will try the blueberry bagel everyone was ordering and the Never Sleep Again. Definitely recommend adding this unique place to your list!
This place has been on my list to try and I finally made it! Horror fans will definitely appreciate all the details throughout this place! So many cool art pieces and replica props. This place is very busy both times I went but service was a fast as possible and kept moving. Just be prepared to wait a bit if you're going on Saturday or Sunday. Drinks were really good. I tried some of their seasonal drinks. Parking can be tricky in Fountain Square but we always find somewhere.
Loved the spooky atmosphere! Finally made it to Black House Cafe in Indianapolis and I'm officially obsessed. I ordered the iced Ghostface--white chocolate and raspberry--which is an elite combo and absolutely delicious. The service was top-notch, and the Halloween decor is a total dream for scary movie fans. A must-visit for spooky season lovers
Cool horror movie themed cafe & coffeeshop in the Fountain Square neighborhood. It's a very small space and was quite packed on a Saturday afternoon. It's better to get your coffee to go here since seating is limited. There are a variety of drinks and I chose the Fear Street latte off the special June menu. Espresso with white chocolate and raspberry drizzle, this was smooth, sweet and delicious. The only downside to my experience was the wait time - it took about 20 minutes until I was able to order and there weren't that many people in front of me. Once my drink order was in, it was prepared in a timely manner, but I think they could benefit from two people at the order counter to help speed things up. Definitely a funky spot that fits right in with the FS neighborhood.
Staying at an Airbnb that is probably owned by the same people right behind the cafe so we went there for coffee yesterday morning. My friend got a hot coffee and I got an iced, so when he said their coffee was really good, I was thinking, well the coffee was good but with getting an iced I couldn't really tell how good. So I went back there today and got a hot coffee and he was right. The coffee was great, service is fast and friendly. The only downside is the location isn't great so you have to know how to park behind if you want to visit, or stay at their Airbnb. The theming is based on old 80s horror movies, so is their Airbnb. They also don't have many seats... Maybe 4 tables, so don't plan to go there for a seat, unless you are going during their non busy hours. I will be getting one last cover from there tomorrow which is it last day.
Cute horror movie themed coffee house. POC owned. Good service. I was mesmerized when I walked in and didn't realize you order to the left. The open counter in front to the right looked inviting. I was looking for the menu lol. Look up! There seemed to be more room in the back but I didn't go. There are murals all around the building so be sure to check them out. I ordered the dreamer which was really good. They have empanadas and other pastries also. It sits right at the corner and there's plenty of parking behind the building.
Love this place !! Super cute niche coffee spot that everyone could enjoy .. nice outdoor seating to chat with friends .. seating inside and a small area tucked away where someone could study .. Was welcomed with a smile and positive attitudes and even offered suggestions, service was top notch !! Would definitely recommend this as a must go to.. picture worthy
This was a small location with a few seats available as well as outdoor seating. The Halloween theme was amazing and very well decorated, it is fun to have a themed location in indianapolis. The menu was incredibly fun with amazing options. Everything had a Halloween name or theme. The Granny Smith apple caramel latte was to die for! The staff is so friendly and welcoming.
The service is quick but it also wasn't packed when we walked in. The place is designed with a bunch of horror features which makes it really cool to explore. They also have CBD which I would personally skip as you really can't tell any difference/affect from it......save yourself the coins. The drink I ordered Candyman was pretty good though. It had a brown sugar something in it that made it very flavorful but it was sweeter than I liked. They have all types of different coffees and based on the times they put out different season drinks you can partake in too! Anytime I'm in the fountain square area and have time to stop I always park and go inside. My only complaint.....the drinks don't come in a bigger size.
Horror is the theme of this coffee café. It has a Halloween vibe. Not scary but more like Casper the friendly ghost. I had the Carmella iced. Carmella is a salted carmel expresso latte with carmel drizzle. You can also add CBD to your drinks. This is a must visit in October. I bet the Halloween decorations are awesome.
My go-to coffee shop in the Fountain Square area. Fantastic coffee, smoothies, and horror decor all year round. My favorite holiday is Halloween and this store perfectly encapsulates the holiday and all things horror. The Carmilla hot to go is my go-to year round, but I have never had a bad drink here. Their smoothies are fantastic and I love that they have a vegan protein scoop option. Great service all the time. I went during the T-Swift weekend and I didn't have any issues. There was a line out the door and the small space was packed, but everything ran smoothly. They're a small team of baristas, but they do an amazing job. I am never the only customer in the store when I go-- they are popular for a reason! I still need to try their gluten free options for food! Gluten free avocado toast and gluten free cookies are available and they have several vegan options. It's nice to see a store have so many options for different dietary restrictions.
What a cool, funky, horror-movie inspired place to get coffee, smoothies and awesomely named drinks. Service was great. The descriptions for each drink was clear and descriptive. I can't wait to bring my sons here. Located in Fountain Square which is hip and cool in it of itself.

It was so cool. So many things to look at! Great experience especially for this Halloween. read more
This place is soo cool. It honestly took my breath away when walking in. Small coffee shop in fountain square so parking is street or one of the paid lots. There are a few picnic tables outside but the indoor seating is limited to small tables and one comfy couch. But plenty of outlets and free WiFi for studying. Very unique coffee menus. I got the Candy Man and absolutely loved it! Would get again! Pastries from Circle City Sweets which means another place to get the best almond croissant in the city!! read more

In terms of branding and decor, this place is impeccable. I'm not a horror movie buff but I was quite impressed by the aesthetics. I am disappointed to write this review because I've heard a lot of good things about this place. As a minor critique, they really only had 1-2 people making drinks, when they really could use a third. My major critique is that my coffee was just incredibly bland for what it's worth. I got the Ghostface iced coffee which was $7 for 16 oz. It's supposed to be a white chocolate raspberry mocha. I didn't taste any mocha flavor, nor much of a general coffee flavor. The raspberry syrup is just drizzled on the rim of the cup and settles down to the bottom of the drink pretty quickly. Because I detest syrups that do that (expect for chocolate), I did not finish the drink. And so, the only flavor I had for most of my drink was milk flavor. I'm sure that other drinks are better as this was a very popular place with all of their outdoor tables filled, and I'm sure the food is also good. But this coffee was just not it at all. read more
I've been wanting to check this place out and finally had the chance to! This is a horror movie themed cafe, and they have coffee and smoothies! I had the never sleep again that was very tasty and yes left me wired, I'll bet thanks to the expresso, staff is very friendly! Can't wait to go back and check out some more fun drinks! Make sure you check out all the movie decor as well! read more

Amazing atmosphere and such a wonderful cafe theme idea! Too bad we don't have more cafes that depict a theme with the right atmosphere like the black house cafe! Amazing latte quality (and I'm a snob) and delicious espresso! I want to bring all of my friends here just to experience the atmosphere and decor! Great place to hang out and talk with friends! Workers were kind! read more

As a huge horror nerd, I'm surprised it took me so long to finally go to Black House. It is DECKED OUT in horror merchandise and feels like a little cozy hole in the wall, as it is super tiny. The staff is really nice and helpful when you ask them questions. There are a lot of options for drinks (a little too many in my opinion) and they are all really yummy! Check this place out if love horror and coffee! read more

This place is definitely for a specific crowd. I am not a scary movie person and the decorations inside are not my thing. I would not be able to spend time inside of this place for very long. I know tons of people love it though, so it's awesome they have this kind of space to hang out in. The service was a little slow, but other than that everything was great! I tried a chai tea latte and really enjoyed it. They sprinkled cinnamon on top and I loved it! read more

Think of a scary-movie themed coffee shop and this place is a step better. The more you look at the decor, the more you discover. The artwork on the walls was soo good. I had the pumking cold brew from the seasonal menu and it was just right. The staff weren't overly friendly but they were busy with orders and they were quick and efficient. read more
It's a small little coffee shop with a take on Halloween. If you're looking for a quieter environment this may not be the place for you but the drinks are incredible. We got the Beetlejuice- A unique match flavour with a slight sweetness from the Ube & Ghost Face which is a white mocha with raspberry. I thought it would be too sweet, but not at all. I think this is one of my favorite drinks that I've gotten from any coffee shop, I highly recommend. The service was great, they were quick. If it's a little busy please be patient with them! Go try their coffee! read more

Loved this place! The horror movie theme is great to me because I'm a huge horror fanatic. Everything makes you feel like you're in a Ron's Halloween store in the best way. There's themed drinks and depending on the holiday, themed drinks for that also. I got a smoothie with vegan protein powder which was delicious. I highly recommend if you like horror movies like me! Even if you don't- they have great coffee and smoothies to enjoy! read more

A perfectly located shop much to take in and delicious lattes! I'm not big into horror flicks but this shop is like a stop in Universal Studios with several props, unique art and horror loving decor! They play horror flicks on the tv, have several parking spots in the back. It's small space is perfect for dates or even solo/remote working time. They have several options outside of coffee and even have some pastries. The service was great! They made my drinks quickly. Non dairy options. read more

Super cute spot in Fountain Square. Very small, but has plenty of seating. Horror theme is on point! I got the Never Sleep Again - horchata, almond milk and espresso. Very good! I will say it's a bit pricey ($7), but I do like supporting small businesses. Staff was super friendly, and there is plenty of street parking around. Will be back! read more
This place is a whole experience, even before you step foot inside! I stopped by on a whim, and I was pleasantly surprised. All of the drinks sounded awesome, but I went with Jennifer's Body. It was busy when I went, in the middle of a weekday, but the barista took time to chat with me and make me a great drink. I was expecting this to be like a one time only, kitsch kind of experience, but the drinks are genuinely good and there's a huge variety of options. I will for sure be back! read more

Love bringing my other horror fans here! The ambience is so fun and there is always something new to look at while you browse the inside. Their coffee is delicious while they also offer other options for people who aren't so interested in a coffee mid-day. The staff is always very welcoming. I love coming here and we stop by any time we are in fountain square. read more
New to FTSQ Black House Coffee. It's a vibe, for all the horror movie lovers etc. Great location - they have coffee - they have pastries. If you are getting coffee go with drip or cold brew, their espresso service is sloppy they don't weigh their shots - I saw her pulling all kinds of shots and using leftovers that had been sitting there a minute. Then again I value respectable espresso programs - if you load it up with sugar and syrups it'll be fine and you won't taste that it's not done right. Sugary fun drinks do seem to be the specialty if that's your thing. They were nice enough, the space is quaint sits 20 ppl at most, so pretty intimate. read more

Stopped by the new horror theme coffee shop in Fountain Square this afternoon. I love any place with a theme and this place goes all in. From the murals on the building, to all the horror masks and dolls inside. Even their coffee cups match the theme. This place had a fun energy. I ordered the Dream On. A coconut Ube espresso drink. I didn't know what to expect but it was delicious. If you like unique coffee shops with good coffee, this is the place for you! read more

Loved my experience at Black House Cafe. I am a huge scary movie fan so this was just soooooo cool. I got the Never Sleep Again & loved it! Like really really loved it. Their menu was all scary movie themed which is just so fun. They had parking outside in a lot which is also so nice for being downtown!! The people were super nice. The decor was amazing and the vibes are exactly what you would think for being horror movie themed (in a good way)! read more
