    Great spot, love their spicy chai! They are close to the Gamers Haven which is awesome, but when I visited they closed earlier than I would have liked. This place does have a little free library inside and offers free WiFi, and I think it would make a decent writing spot, especially because the seating would lend well to write-ins (think NaNoWriMo)! However, they have locked bathrooms which are seemingly for customers only. This knocks a star off from my review -- everyone should have access to bathrooms and running water.

    House-made butterscotch latte
    Karlie S.

    This is one of the two locations in Spokane. I got the house-made butterscotch latte. It was very good. You could taste the butterscotch but it didn't taste like syrup or super sugary. The baristas were very friendly and kind. The shop itself would be a great place to meet a friend, get some work done or just stop in real quick. They have super cute cups, shirts and other items as well. Overall just a great option for a coffee stop.

    Friendly service, great coffee, and good location. We got the house butterscotch latte ( you can order the sauce to take home!) and it was so dreamy. It pairs wonderfully with the espresso. We also took home a bag of the Guatemala single origin coffee. I

    16oz drip + 12oz beans. In love with Imbaba's color palette and design on their packaging/cups!

    Always in search of local roasters whenever I travel and I'm glad I stopped into Indaba! They have a great selection of multiple drip coffees to choose from, which I thought was a nice touch compared to only 1-2 drip options at other coffee shops. I went with the Bowl & Pitcher blend, which has notes of toffee, milk chocolate, and honey--a smooth cup with little acidity. I picked up a bag of their Lilac City beans and I'm excited to continue sipping imbaba back home! (Btw when you buy a bag of beans you get a drip coffee for free) On top of the great coffee itself, love that this business is founded by a lifelong Spokane native who is actively involved in supporting the community.

    Caramel latte
    Gayl B.

    Definitely a big city coffeehouse. Baristas said that they are opening a new store downtown across from Macy's and that this location has been here for five years. No worries about parking or paying to park at this location. My caramel latte was very smooth with no overly sugary taste and yes beautiful latte art. Stay-here ceramic cups are definitely a plus, and they have almond milk as an option, which will be next on my list of "to-try" when I'm back in the area. The eclectic furnishings (mismatched chairs and well-used tables) with the bookstore pull together a urban hip setting that is typically found in big cities. I look forward to trying Indaba Coffee at their new downtown location soon!

    Lemon lavender lattes to die for. Stumbled onto this spot while passing through and boy Ann I glad I stopped. Even snagged a bag of beans.

    Oh man, this place tho. I am so blessed to have found it! Right near where I am most downtown and is a super cute little shop perfect for work and just sitting down to write a Yelp review. The place smells amazing right when you walk in. The aroma of gourmet hand crafted coffee. I am in LOVE. The barista was so nice and perfectly crafted my favorite simple coffee...a vanilla latte. Super creamy, frothy, and perfect. I loved it so much. This is definitely going to be a little piece of heaven for me.

    Cold Brew Soda & Maple Scone
    Ryan S.

    Never been here. Why? Because I'm dumb. Found good parking in the back. Walked inside, didn't expect a guy grinding coffee beans. Smelled amazing. Ordered a cold brew soda. Girl working didn't really know what it was, thankfully the baristas did. Got a maple scone as well. Why? Because I'm classy and maple is a good syrup. Wifi was fast, people were chill, coffee was great, scone was classy. Don't really know really a reason why NOT to come here. If you don't, you're doing yourself a disservice.

    Atticus is a fantastic coffee shop in Spokane! We ordered a latte with soy milk and a cappuccino,…read moreand both were absolutely delicious. The coffee was smooth, rich, and easily one of the better cups we had in Spokane. Service was friendly and fairly quick, and the shop has a cozy, inviting atmosphere that makes it a great spot to grab coffee and hang out. Definitely a must-visit for coffee lovers in Spokane!

    We did a slow Spokane walk to see what's around. This was closest to our hotel so figured to check…read moreit out! AMBIANCE Parking: Downtown parking is downtown parking thus requiring some patience. There is some street parking and garage parking nearby. Seating: Inside seating, plenty of cozy nooks and tables, with room for about 40-50 people. Vibes: You gotta love Spokane. A growing town but a small town feel. The spot itself feels like a love letter to books and community with that old soul essence. You walk in and your senses are welcomed from the aroma of coffee and the hustle and bustle of employees and customers moving around. One side you'll see the cafe but a good portion is a lot of shelves with books and gifts. A very stimulating space, great place to study or get work done. CAFES & RETAILS Cold Brew - Hazelnut (Recommend) They have these house brews with selective flavors. I got a staple hazelnut that provided a nice nutty earthy feel. The coffee was strong as it kept me up for a busy day. Retails (Recommend) I didn't get anything but if my luggage had room I probably totally would have. Great range of books and creative thoughtful gifts (bookmarks, candles, and trinkets). CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly and welcoming. The staff contributes to the warm atmosphere and makes the space feel approachable. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Good coffee, cozy vibes, and a sense of community that makes you want to stay awhile. Atticus isn't just a coffee shop but a neighborly space that brings the locals and visitors together. If you're in Spokane and need a place to relax, come through! TIPS: * Take your time and browse the books and gifts, and enjoy the specials!

    If you only have one stop in Spokane, make it this one…read more I stumbled in off the street on a Saturday, visiting from out of town and looking for a place to hunker down, do some work, and enjoy a real cup of coffee. Indaba didn't just check the boxes, it made me wonder why every coffee shop doesn't operate this way. Walk in and the space stops you. Exposed brick, warm wood, art on every wall, and a ceiling that opens up the whole room. The seating runs from cozy couches to high tops to proper tables. no bad seat in the house. Outlets everywhere. A conference room available to rent. Whoever designed this place actually thought about the people using it. The staff made us feel welcome without trying too hard. That's a skill. We ordered hot and iced mochas and both were dialed in. My wife went bacon avocado toast, creamy avocado against crispy bacon, exactly right. I had the sunbutter banana toast and almost ordered a second one. We grabbed an apple fritter to go. It didn't survive the drive. The background music hits just right, easy listening layered under the natural buzz of a full, happy room. Prices are exactly what you'd expect to pay for coffee done well. Before you leave, browse the retail wall. Solid selection of beans to take home, plus some genuinely cute goods worth picking up. This place has real soul. You'll feel it.

    Coffee shop vibes don't get better than this. Doesn't just hit all the high notes, hits them all…read moreout of the park! Downtown location = Check Older Space with Brick walls and High Ceiling = Check Awesome Coffee = Check Plenty of comfortable Seating = Check Hot Breakfast menu = Check This is a spot that begs you to stay and savor while you sip, and maybe even grab a second cup
