Bar

I miss Bee Coffee but this strip mall espresso bar and colorful renovated barn hole in the wall gives the same buzz! I dropped in for a quick pre performance perk, drooled over the autumn specialty lattes, found myself stuck with the jasmine amaretto as one I've never sipped before. Staff was polite and patient with my menu scouting. This hive has all the sweet cozy woody mood of old fashioned Democrats. I enjoyed good wifi too but wished the laptop table was closer to hand. Didn't see the back room with actual tables til I was all spread out, my large house crafted caffeine nectar showed up looking like a James Webb space swirl. A quick dive gave all the good hints for java and handmade syrups playing well together, so good, this Indianapolis cafe scene rules and here's to another fantastic must try option alongside Blue Mind, Rabble, Commissary, and Bovaconti!

Exterior - so inviting!

This is a delightful space! I decided to come here because their website was very LGBTQ+ friendly and I love the botanical theme. I called ahead to make sure they had lavender lattes since I couldn't find the menu online, and the person was very nice and said yes. The location used to be Bee Coffee & ROasters but they closed. Their barista at the time decided she wanted to open a coffee shop there, and did! The barista was super friendly and gave me a frequent-use punch card for rewards (yay free things-eventually). She said they make their own lavender syrup, and I can tell! It was very good. I would probably only rec this place and Mocha Nut on the south side that actually makes good lavender letters. The interior is SO cute. I wish I lived closer so I could come all the time! Lots of nice seating options. You must go here - great service, great coffee, and great adorable space to be in.

Love this place! They have great food and coffee and are always very sweet! I used to come here to study occasionally but they close at 2-3 now so I only go in the mornings. Service is always great and quick and they also made my dog the cutest pup cup. The ambiance I will say the decor in there is different but it's very chill and a good study environment/pretty quiet.

In a strip mall on the corner of 56th and Lafayette road. Service is quick and sweet. Straightforward coffee stop with some good flavors to choose from. The veggie croissant is delicious. Get it with the sriracha honey. Inside has good seating for waiting and some books in the back of the store. Will be back!

The coffee and atmosphere was great! I had a latte, and it was the best one I've had in a long time. Fast service, too.

Worst Latte I've EVER had. Grabbed iced and hot before a race. All were terrible. Threw them away after one drink.

We got a teddy graham latte and matcha latte to go - they were tasty, and not too sweet, which we appreciated.

Georgetown Market is an independent neighborhood market that offers groceries, health supplements…read moreand has a snack bar. The snack bar serves healthy options including soups, sandwiches and assorted smoothies and smoothie bowls. They have a case with grab and go premade sandwiches and salads that are reasonably priced and super healthy. I had one of the premade salads that was filled with lots of raw vegetables such as squash, cauliflower, broccoli and more. The salad was delicious with the only downside that I had to purchase dressing separately. My husband had a vegan wrap that was filled with lots of veggies and bean sprouts. He said it was delicious. The smoothies looked amazing, but I'll wait till next visit. There are tables inside and outside where you can sit and eat. The clerks are welcoming, friendly and efficient.

Earlier today Saturday June 7th after my morning workout around 10 I decided to go to Georgetown…read moreMarket Cafe for a smoothie. Now, I've been to Georgetown Market numerous times in the past. Georgetown Market supplies all natural, organic, and vegan products. You can get your food, natural meds, teas like mullein. Etc. When, I went this morning it wasn't crowded at the Cafe, you can dine in at the Cafe, and I ordered a smoothie called Mocha Chiquita that has banana, almond milk, cold brew, peanut butter, chocolate plant protein, and cinnamon. Now, I was actually recommended that smoothie especially for the protein. That was my first time ever having a smoothie at the Georgetown Market & in general. The ambiance of the place clean, smells very healthy, the staff are always very friendly and helpful. To, my surprise the smoothie was actually good to me. Mind, you I can't eat bananas by itself due the smell makes me gag, and I haven't ate a banana in many years. I would highly recommend the Mocha Chiquita smoothie. Then, around 3:30 in the afternoon I went back up to Georgetown Market Cafe for the Vegan mac and cheese, to me that was just okay. Then, I ordered a ginger shot which was good, that ginger burned slightly. However, I love Georgetown Market & the Cafe so I'll definitely be back.

I came here for the first time after realizing this was on the way between home and my gym, which…read moreis good to know if I want a quick treat *every now and then* (since the gains come first). I like the nice open space for seating, which had some half booth seats along the wall, some regular tables, some benches or single chairs, and some slightly partitioned areas with tables. I think with this, just about all the desired seating options are covered. Ordering at the counter is done for service whether it is sit-down or to-go. I had to take mine to-go at my visit. I got my partner an iced mocha and blueberry muffin, and he said he really liked both. I got a graham slam latte, which had all the s'mores flavors topped with cold foam, graham cracker crumbs, and chocolate drizzle. Yum! It was a very rich drink but very worthwhile. I also got a Dubai chocolate cake, which is very decadent. I'm sure I'll be back again!

But the chai was better. It can't be made dairy free I think? We were the only ones there so we didn't wait long for drinks. But we got a few empanadas, which they warmed up for us. The beef and the potato one. Decent. Really great place to check out in Indy.
