This is my second time here and this shop is a tiny gem. As the description says. They are funky and the coffee was slightly better than Starbucks (it's the McDonald's of coffee offering a known quantity and is the bench mark of minimally acceptable). The best part is the employees. After I ordered and got my drink I noticed they had an item, 2-5. I asked if that was with tax and she said it was 5.10 but I only had a $5 bill. And with out hesitation, she reached in her purse and fished out a coin. That was great and made my day. Next time I'm back she's getting a 100% percent tip

I was about to hit the road back home and needed a little caffeine pick me up and someone local recommended this shop. It is super cute on the inside, filled with plants and other items for purchase, giving off a very cozy vibe. Arrive was great! It was smaller so only a few patrons inside but the staff worked quickly and created a very delicious lavender matcha.

Needed a treat for my 16 hour day yesterday and thankfully this shop is literally by my job. Met Ava, really lovely young lady. I ordered the banana coconut iced and it was delicious. I took mine to go but the shop is so cute and I love the plants! Definitely a chill relaxing vibe. Will be coming here soon to try some more drinks. #SupportLocal #SipLocal

Awesome little coffee shop with super creative drinks. I've gone the past 2 days and ordered: - the chronic - might be the perfect coffee concoction. If you like sbucks iced shaken espresso this is the one for you. Even better, the ice cubes were frozen coffee!!! It's the gift that just keeps giving. - elf's brew - cold brew with eggnog and cinnamon. Simple but very effective seasonal drink to get you in the holiday spirit. So good! Plenty of food options too. I've had the croissants which are always a good combo with coffee. Very friendly service and a dog friendly spot too!

I've tried this place multiple times, love the service! The owner was truly accommodating with some delta 8 alternatives and the baristas are sweeties! The ambiance of the place is chill, quaint and quirky! Now, idk if I'm the problem but not a lot of coffee places make matcha with a good balance of sweetness, that's the only downfall for me! I ask for sweetness and it's still always bitter. Which is totally customizable and could be dependent on my delta 8 addition!

neapolitan mocha and the ube

Obsessed. The Neapolitan & Ube latte are my favorites. Definitely on the higher end for coffee but the regular size is quite large. Service is good & it's a quant little coffee shop. Just enough space for 3-4 people to sit and wait for their coffee. Love that it's in walking distance from my place. Will be here religiously.

Fruity pebbles matcha

Limited and app priced street parking in this downtown corner make for awkward entry but I found a quick and happy shop that whipped up a fruity pebbles match real quick! So good! This is a great place for Indianapolis and will have to try more of the menu.

Chai Me! Cute little place across from the Fieldhouse. I'm not much of a coffee drinker but Chai Lattes have a special place in my heart. There's a few drinks I'd like to go back and try. The barista was super cool and patient. It's small so you're not working from there but definitely grab and go or sit for a few minutes, there's also a couple seats and tables outside. Surely has the 'coffee shop' vibe going. If you're downtown and want a refreshing beverage, try Chronic.

The absolute cuuutest coffee shop with the best vibes in downtown Indy. Was able to take a nice walk here from the Omni Severin Hotel, and was so pleasantly surprised by what I had walked upon. I did a quick search on my phone for matcha near me, and this coffee shop popped up and was the closest in walking distance from me, so I went with it without even really researching what it looked like on the inside/outside. I almost missed it because it's very tiny with just one small door for entry. The staff here was so lovely and kind, and even took the time to share a few nearby recommendations to walk through and visit. The fruity pebbles matcha was delicious and the perfect little pick me up I needed to bring me a little extra joy and pep for my morning ahead. The aesthetic inside is so cozy and filled with a really cool variety of plants and other goodies. If I were local, I know this would be one of my favorite coffee shops!

discovered this cozy costa-rican coffee shop after getting lost downtown (shoutout to construction! for.. the first time, ever... ) and WHAT. A. GEM. the menu is a little eccentric, highlighting house-made cold foams like cherry cordial and vanilla hemp, paired with unique flavor profiles like banana bread, reese's puffs, and ube! while the menu itself isn't large, they do have a variety of flavors and a very well-trained staff. As a first-time customer, I had no idea what to order, but the barista (hi Rollo ) helped me narrow down a few options and they did not dissapoint! I tried the heisenberg (a shaken espresso with milk + sweetener), the big papi (a coconut frappe), some vanilla hemp cold foam (a house favorite), and the peanut butter cold foam. Between the four, I found myself eating spoonfuls of the pb cold foam the same way you would eat the last bites of ice cream out of the container.. it was fresh, light, and so so smooth. I could *not* get enough! hopefully the limit of cold foam on a drink doesn't exist at Chronic, because I have plans to order the big papi with about 1 cup of peanut butter cold foam sitting right on top

This cute little coffee shop was on the top of my list of places to try while I was at a conference in Indianapolis. It's a shame I only made it here once as I would have loved to try more things from their menu. I enjoyed everything that I did get to try and the other people in my group all said the same. I had the Ube Matcha Latte, a Spinach and Cheese Empanada, and the Acai Bowl. The food was great, but the latte was definitely the highlight! Unique and really lovely flavor. I was also really impressed with the speed and efficiency that the woman working by herself managed everything. None of us waited very long for our orders, including the people that arrived after us. I would highly recommend this place if you're in the area!

I had the matcha Ube latte. My drink was incredibly delicious! It was very refreshing and flavorful. The barista was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The coffee shop is fairly small but there is limited seating space. Also, the decor and aesthetic is awesome. Overall, I would highly recommend.

I visited a couple of times while working in Indy and was really impressed. The feta and egg empanada was delicious, especially paired with the tangy green sauce it came with. I also tried "The Chronic"--a double espresso with caramel, coffee cubes, and vanilla cold foam--which was expertly crafted. Service can be a bit slow since there's usually only one person working (being a cashier, making the beverages, warming the food, etc.), but it's definitely worth the wait. The ambiance is great, too, with local artists' work on display adding a unique touch.

Dear reader,…read more Bovaconti Coffee in Fountain Square remains one of my favourite coffee shops, and we stop there whenever we come to town. It is the sort of place that feels special the moment you walk in. A lot of people rave about the beautiful space, and quite right too. The shop has a gorgeous, old-world feel in a historic Fountain Square building, plenty of seating, and a lovely outdoor area that is very dog friendly. The staff always boast a delightful disposition that makes you want to smile and enjoy the rest of your day as well. As for the coffee, I love the iced Mayan Mocha. It is like a mocha with a kick and extra flavour depth, and it is absolutely delicious. The dark chocolate, honey, cinnamon, and cayenne give it a little warmth and complexity without losing the joy of a proper iced coffee treat. They also have some really high-end pastries to choose from. I love the lemon loaf, and some of the more complex, unique pastries make it feel a bit more elevated than the average coffee stop. Overall, it is clean, beautiful, welcoming, and always worth the return visit.

The staff here is so awesome. Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! It's definitely one…read moreof my favorite spots to stop by when I'm in Fountain Square. There's plenty of natural light, but also several cozier, dark areas perfect for coworking. When the weather's nice, the patio is unbeatable - they offer ample patio seating as well as chairs along the sidewalk. I usually choose something from their seasonal menu, and recently I tried the iced blueberry brown sugar matcha and it was amazing. *Free parking directly outside the building on Woodlawn Ave

BUT I'm SO glad I did! Usually, I'm going on and on about the coffee, but can we talk about the CROFFLES?! Croissant waffles are apparently my new obsession, and the Avocado Bacon Croffle was SO savory and delicious that I'm still thinking about it. Then there was the French Toast Iced Latte topped with CHEESECAKE COLD FOAM?! The menu was absolutely drool-worthy, with so many yummy concoctions that I already know I need to go back and try more! The service was amazing, too. Shoutout to the girly who stamped my coffee passport because her nails were EVERYTHING! The vibes are cozy, comfy, and fun, making it such a cute spot to hang out and enjoy a treat. Now, let's talk parking... I circled around 3-4 times before finally giving in and paying $10 to park. Not ideal, but honestly? Finding this little gem was WORTH IT. If you're visiting Indianapolis or exploring downtown around Monument Circle, I highly recommend adding Good Vibes Cafe to your list! Trust me, the croffles alone are worth the visit.

It is a bit challenging to find parking but there are a few spots in front. I parked down the street and walked which is always an option. There are a few stairs to get in but also a ramp, and the set up has a nice aisle like space for the line and plenty of tables and chairs. It can be quite loud so keep that in mind if you want a quieter reflection time, and maybe take it to go or sit outside. They have various food items but I absolutely LOVE their peanut butter energy balls! In fact that is why I came to this location as this is where the magic happens. They make them here and send them to other Tinker locations! They are the perfect blend of savory and a tad sweet and go super well with their coffee and/or London Fog tea. Yum! I will freely admit to buying all they had on hand, and now can enjoy them at home. Yay! It is a very busy spot so not the friendliest of staff, but assumed they were already hassled from the morning. It was a great spot to meet a friend and enjoy the patio and some tea/coffee. I would for sure go back and even bring a friend! In fact I've already mentioned it to several people as a potential meet up spot! Definitely something to enjoy!
