Food: The ham and cheese croissant was hearty and really satisfying. The biscuits and gravy were okay. The gravy had a tangy flavor I wasn't expecting. Not bad, just different. Drinks: Ordered the seasonal salted caramel mocha... WOWWZA! Super sweet and delicious. I usually drink my coffee black, so this was a fun treat. Service/Ambiance: The staff is very friendly and helpful. Big plus, they have a drive thru and take Apple Pay. Inside feels cozy and homey, with tables if you want to sit and hang out. I came with a friend and we left really happy. Parking: Heads up, parking/drive thru are a little tricky since it's behind the building near North Metts St. This place used to be a house before it became a coffee shop, so the layout is a bit unique. If you're not from the area, it might take a second to figure out where to pull in. Overall, really enjoyed it and can't wait to come back and try more drinks!! read more

Stopped here for lunch while driving and going a bit off the highway was well worth it. Great customer service, smoothie was delicious and the sandwich was fresh and really hit the spot.

Extremely friendly and tiny enjoyable spot with good space, huge menu, and plenty to treat anyone's sugar pains. My buddy and I went for that basic lattes on their specialty menu, both easy to drink with good fruity notes and priced fairly. Also tried the fruity chai however didn't do much, lacking chai notes and offering little cinnamon or cloves. Could quickly come back for the breakfasts, I love a good quiche! Thankful for this solid spot right south of Fort Wayne! read more

My favorite coffee shop!!! The staff is so sweet and welcoming + the coffee is always fresh and strong. What more can you ask for? They have gluten free + dairy free options which is huge for me, and actually taste SO GOOD. I love the gf chocolate muffin & a 20oz cold brew with iced coffee ice cubes! Plus they have a drive through or a super clean and cozy inside if you want to bring your laptop to chill. 10/10 would recommend:) read more

Loveeee this sweet spot! They're in between my stop from home and heading to Indianapolis so I love coming here to get my coffee fix before I hit the road.

I get the iced latte with caramel and vanilla and almond milk. Super yummy! read more

Lovely coffee and specialty food cafe! Wonderful personality in the structure and the staff, warm and welcoming!

My daughters beg me to drive 30 minutes out of our way to come here for a Saturday brunch treat! read more

Award for the cutest coffee shop goes to Crimson House! This adorable cafe has been an awesome addition to the community. The quaint place is just off SR 1 in the heart of Ossian. It is a red house that has been converted into a coffee shop and cafe. They even have a drive thru (limited hours). As soon as you walk through the door you are taken back by the decor and atmosphere. It is decorated beautifully, offers tons of seating and boasts pride from the time the owners put into making it that way. The staff is super friendly and patient. When I stopped in on a Saturday morning they were pleasantly busy which I was happy to see! My only comment is that it seems they may need more staff. I decided to order the cold brew with cream and vanilla flavor. I was tempted by the sweets, but opted for just coffee. It was handed to me with a smile and tasted great. I spent some time perusing the shop and noticed local goods spread throughout. They also had a group in one of the rooms, which are available to rent! Crimson House has a fantastic atmosphere, service and caffeine. I will be stopping in more often! read more

This is a really lovely place with good quality food and coffee! We ordered 2 sandwiches and 2 coffees and it took them a good 5+ minutes to get our order ready-so keep that in mind if you go for a lunch break. I have no complaints though, the sandwiches were big enough for a full lunch and delicious too! Try the avocado BLT. They have gluten free & dairy free options too. It's really nice that they have a drive-through as well! read more

Crimson House Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ossian, Indiana

Although it's a bit of a drive from Fort Wayne we found it was worth every minute! This place is adorable and decorated so tastefully. There's a warm environment like you're having coffee in a farm house or cottage. The drink and food selection is phenomenal, especially for someone who is vegan and gluten free like me. Can't wait to go back! read more

Not from the area but visiting family nearby, we pulled in here on the way to our destination after leaving the airport for a quick lunch. Great little cafe, had their daily special which was a chicken pot pie and cream of mushroom soup. I'd get both again. Fast service, Clean restaurant , clean restroom, very nicely decorated both for holiday season and normal business. Clearly a lot of care and thought into setup and furnishings. I'd defined come back even if out of the way. read more

Lovely and delicious lunch. Chicken pot pie was fantastic as were mushroom soup and the cocoa. Will return when next in town. Quick and great service. Close to the airport. read more

Best biscuits and gravy I've had in a long time.. tastes like richards B n Gs use to... before they went with canned gravy

In town from Massachusetts for a wedding, from outside this cafe looks so small we missed it at first but inside it feels so big and homey. The food was amazing and the service was astounding. I will probably be back tomorrow for breakfast read more

Crimson House Cafe - Avocado BLT, caramel latte with almond milk, crimson club and crimson chiller - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ossian, Indiana

The Crimson House Cafe is a true gem. The atmosphere is cozy, quaint and happy. I've never had a drink I didn't like. They have so many options for people of varying allergies/intolerances and sugar-free options for diabetics! I always order a sugar-free vanilla latte with coconut milk along with a gluten free chocolate muffin. I also really enjoy their sandwiches (made with gluten free bread!). They even have a drive-thru if you're in a hurry. The workers are always kind. I enjoy looking at the little things they have for sale, too! Love this place. read more

So grateful for the lovely people at Crimson House right now. 11 of my guys are working at a site nearby, and asked for a last minute lunch. At first it was a wild panic, as very little is open and delivers on a Monday in the area, apparently. But low and behold, I found Crimson House, and called them up. Despite obviously being busy, they helped me out and penciled my team in. They were especially patient with my lack of knowledge of the area, since I am several states away and am rather clueless about where everything is. All in all, the customer service is A+. If I ever venture to Indiana, I'll be sure to stop by. Also, it did not occur to me that they were in a different time zone until several minutes later, which earns them a massive kudos. They managed to pull together a feast for 11 hungry fellas in about an hour. read more

Got up early to get to drive to Ossian to visit a much anticipated Crimson House! We have heard about this place from friends, but decided after coming back to Bluffton for a funeral that we should stop by. We got two different quiches, the feta and spinach and a southwest sausage. Both were great! My latte was very good as well. The shop was cute and clean and the owners are awesome!! Both met us and we had a great encouraging conversation. I would definitely recommend visiting Crimson House! read more

Everything is great here! We have enjoyed everything from the sandwiches to the waffles. The walking taco is one of the best small taco dishes you will have! Very grateful for this little cafe and its amazing food and service! read more

Such a great place to go!! I love all of the food and every drink that I've ever gotten here. Super great place to work as well, and there are many areas where you can sit that give you great privacy. read more

I've always had the best service here and the food and drinks are always amazing. I've also had a few events here and they never disappoint!

Ran into someone out west from Ossian. I was able to instantly quote the Crimson House by name, such an impression did it leave on me. Exceptional place tucked away in such an easy to bypass town. If you're in the area, go to Crimson. The salads, the coffees, the atmosphere, all of it exemplifies what a place Can be and seldom is. It's a crime this place only had twelve reviews at the time of this post. Go and savor... read more

Happened by this place on the way into Ft. Wayne. Cute little place with a great interior and a very solid club sandwich. Great bread, house baked turkey and excellent local bacon. My father-in-law got the avocado BLT and said it was also good. read more

Neat place! Great sandwiches and the tomato bisque soup is excellent. It's a nice place to relax with a cup of tea, and they also have a nice area for company meetings. read more

This little cafe is just great. Although I'm from a nearby town, I currently live in Indianapolis where I can find an iced coffee and latte around every corner. That isn't the case in Ossian or neighboring towns until now! CHC is owned by one of the most kind families I've ever met and their service is nothing shy of treating customers like family. Food is outstanding, coffee is great, & they were incredibly accommodating & helpful when I called to order gift cards for family in the area! If you are in the area, this is worth your drive. Pop in for a latte or stay and work for the day - you won't be disappointed! read more

Crimson House is by far the best coffee house in Indiana that I have been to yet, excellent barista skills, incredible wholesome food and a freeing atmosphere that makes it enjoyable to stay for a while. read more

Wonderful yummy chicken salad, presented beautifully! Encouraging music, beautiful atmosphere. Taking coconut lemon bars home!

Was excited to try this new, local coffee shop yesterday. The pie we tried was tasty and we enjoyed the quaint setting; my wife enjoyed her iced tea as well. Unfortunately I was disappointed that the barista couldn't make an iced espresso drink my way. In fact he argued with me on what was removed or added in whole vs. skim milk, claiming that they add sugar to skim milk. Wrong! While he tried to explain how "healthy" their ingredients are verses other coffee shops, he doesn't have a thorough understanding of food or nutrition. Not yet the place to go if you want great espresso based drinks. read more

This place is what every little town needs. Friendly, great service. Super tasty food. Wonderful coffee house atmosphere. Chris, the barrista, is very good at his craft and always greets you with a smile and then delivers a cup of deliciousness. Heidi and Jeff, the owners, truly care about their customers and check to make sure your visit was positive. Jamee, the chef, always has a fresh creation to offer. His chicken salad is my favorite. The salads are very fresh and have homemade dressings on them. All have been very tasty. Ossian has waited a long time for you, Crimson House! But you have shown us it was worth the wait. read more
