Food is great the service is super fast first time here, so I can't complained because the place is really nice very clean and comfortable. Super friendly the ladies that work in front are smiling and super cute. They are kind and Friendly my vanilla latte was done real fast and tastes Hmm a bit bitter then what I expected to be which means it was a bit strong for me.. not sweet enough but overall I do recommend this place for any age people to come and chat and relax eat and spend time away from home. My husband went running so I'm chilling here waiting for him. By the way the bathrooms are clean as well. After trying my vanilla latte two times, I end up asking the young ladies to make me another latte because I wanted to try something sweeter and they did it for free and actually was amazing what they gave me. Thanks so much I was not expecting that awesome treatment. Place gets crowded fast and the girls move fast as well. Not disappointed at all... I give it 10 out of 10 read more

Java House - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

I went in here to kill a few hours between things, and it was a pleasant time and a good place to people watch. As far as drinks, I want to start by saying that their lattes are definitely the way to go. They are a bit sweet, so I would advise getting it with less pumps. However, I thoroughly enjoyed it :). After I had been there about an hour, I ordered some drinks to go for me and for some other people. The decaf cold brew was fine, but it could have been stronger. The matcha... bless their little matcha hearts. It was presweetened which leads me to believe it's a mix. It wasn't grainy, but it didn't taste like anything? The strawberry matcha tasted mostly like strawberry milk and the matcha flavor it did have was not good. There were so many matcha recipes on the menu that I thought it would be better. The hot plain matcha was also not great. There needs to be more of a tea flavor and it almost tasted artificial. Overall, I would definitely come back! I would maybe just skip over the matcha, haha. read more

Java House - Bagel with cream cheese and a hot tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

I love that Java House is a locally originated franchise. The shops are lovely, upscale and set up for remote working or socializing. This Java House is conveniently located just a few steps from the Monon Trail and nearby Arts District of Carmel. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor patio seating. You can have your dog on the patio. The service is welcoming and friendly. Orders were prepared quickly, early in the morning. The coffee is cold brewed and good. This morning, I also picked up a bacon and egg bagel to have with my coffee. The breakfast sandwiches are pre-prepared and heated. The sandwich was a disappointment, not horrible, just not as good as the coffee. There is a parking garage next door. read more

Java House's successes are impressive. Their product(s) must resonate with a loyal audience because additional retail locations continue to pop up all across central Indiana. I imagine having the support/backing from Heartland Foods helps... The environment at this particular location is okay. I've always been confused by the meeting room in the back, which has no heating and cooling. I'll blame that on whoever took the lead on the buildout. Now for the most important question: How is the coffee? I wouldn't call myself a coffee connoisseur but I'd like to consider myself a decent judge of good quality and flavor. My home coffee preparation process includes: grinding fresh beans to a grain specific for my preferred brewing method (usually Chemex or Aeropress), heating the water to a specific temp based on the bean's country/region of origin, patience, etc. Java House's coffee is not good... I'm fairly certain they use "coffee" powder that's dissolved into water (think Nestle instant coffee) then placed in pressurized kegs that are then either heated or cooled before being poured via a tap. This is not a place you go to experience good coffee. I believe Java House appeals more to certain coffee drinkers who enjoy adding flavors, sweeteners, milks/creams, etc. and not those interested in the art of growing, roasting, brewing, etc. If you're chasing quality coffee in the area, I suggest checking out either Indie Coffee Roasters, Illumine Coffee, or Eggshell (if you can figure out Eggshell's hours). If broken down, my rating would be: 2.5 stars for the successes and environment .5 star for the coffee For the Java House folks: If I'm totally off regarding my assumption of how you brew, please feel free to correct me! read more

Since I don't live in the Indianapolis metro, I don't stop by here as much as I'd like, but they continue to impress. Nice staff, even with a busy Sunday morning, they were able to get my drink to me in just a few minutes. I had one of the seasonal flavors, the Neapolitan, which was good as expected Along with some seating inside, this location is near an outdoor common area and the Monon, so on a nice day, I would probably grab the coffee to go. I've yet to be disappointed with any of their locations, and highly recommend their coffee. read more

This was my first time visiting one of the Java Hiuse chain in Indy. I found the cappuccino to be just ok but I loved the vibe. It seemed like a great location to chill, do some work, meet friends. I also loved that they backup your a parking garage and you can enter the store directly from the parking. Very convenient. read more

Java House - Pumpkin Spiced Latte and Sweater Weather - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Favorite coffee shop by a mile! I have had great customer service at all their locations. I like this location being downtown Carmel, right off the monon, but is sometimes more crowded than others and harder to find a place to seat. Highly recommend the tedster but I am partial to trying the seasonal drinks as well. Some favorites are the Neapolitan (may sound weird to be drinking strawberry coffee but its delish!) and the peppermint mocha (i was sad they took it away BEFORE christmas this year) Their to go pods are great to have their coffee at home along with the larger cold brew boxes read more

We popped in during the holidays as a way to warm up while we were waiting for our two kids to finish up at Christkindlmarkt. We didn't go, but they were anxious to keep that tradition alive, so more power to them. Anyway, back to the coffee/chai. There menu is a visual delight, which for one that doesn't always go for the fanciest of caffeinated creations was appreciated. I went with a regular chai and my wife opted for the dirty chai. We also went with some of their egg cheese bites for a little mid morning pick-me-up, as it was Christmas Eve and we needed the extra energy. This is an outstanding location, with easy access to the Monon in the center of Carmel, so I can see someone taking the trail up to this location as a little break during their jog, dog walk or bike ride. Oh, and the nice chap complimented me on my Star Wars sweatshirt, so that was an added bonus. read more

Very cute coffee spot conveniently located right in the middle of Midtown Carmel. The menu had a ton of unique options and they also had lots of options to customize your drink as well. The staff was very pleasant and the drinks came out fairly quickly. The interior is industrial chic and has table and chairs, but not the biggest place or the most places to sit, so on a busy day it's more of a grab and go. Snack options and some pastries in the case. We had the little ones with us and everyone smiled and waved at them. Nice spot for coffee. read more

You have to love a walk-up window. I mean, who wants to go indoors, anyway, if you don't have to? Especially in Midtown Carmel, where a lot of the fun stuff is happening outdoors. This Java House Coffee Bar has a walk-up window, which makes it convenient to quickly grab a cup of coffee to go. Wouldn't you know: They also sell ice cream here! I wouldn't have known that, but my child saw ice cream on the menu that's displayed outside. Of course he did -- he's a child. Java House also offers coffee ice cream floats. I just got my kid a scoop of vanilla. And we also got a nitro coffee, which is dispensed out of a tap like a beer. Java House has lots of tables indoors, and also some tables outdoors. The seating outdoors looks out onto the main Midtown area, so you can do a lot of people-watching. read more

The uniqueness of a location in midtown Carmel is the people, pets and place itself. Java house is located right in the center point of Midtown Carmel which makes it incredibly accessible. Super amazing customer service where they whipped up my favorite summer special in Fall special time. I really appreciated that! Clean, chic and brimming with customers throughout nevertheless fast service. Stop by at Java after brunch or just quench your thirst with ice cold coffees after a walk on Monon - take your pic. Either ways you have nothing to loose :) read more

Quick and friendly service. My chocolate cinnamon cold brew was delicious. My daughter enjoyed her green tea as well. It was weird that there weren't any napkins inside nor a trash can in the outside area. I bought a bottled vanilla latte to take home for the next day. It was just okay. read more

Coffee is always our first stop before walking the monon. Java has a laidback, relaxed vibe and the baristas are always extremely helpful in describing their new menu items and making suggestions... My friend selected a lemon drink, took their recommendation of adding cold foam and wow! It tasted like lemon meringue pie(without the crust)! Next time I'm in the mood for dessert, this will be my beverage selection; it was delicious! read more

I used to really enjoy coming here but something has taken a turn for the worst. Their new cold foams are 80% foam, 20% coffee... my green mama today was quite literally just milk. I asked and was told it's the recipe now. Milk with a splash of honey isn't worth $6 read more

Tried the workaholic - doesn't taste like maple. Tedster is better in my opinion. Been there three times- first experience was the best. Drink quality went down. They also had problems with the Colombian so I'm not sure what coffee they put in it. Saw quite a bit of gnats this morning. All ladies are lovely though. read more

Java House - Workaholic - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

I was driving home from a road trip through Indiana and needed to stop for coffee. Whenever possible I support independent coffee shops and found Java House in Clay Terrace, just a couple few miles off my track. I stopped in for a black coffee to go. I would rate my Java House coffee as below the quality of gas station coffee. At $4.15 I expected at the very least, a decent cup of coffee. But this was undrinkable to the point of being gross. I would have gotten a far better cup had I stopped at Speedway. What rip off! If they are willing to cheat you on something as basic as black coffee, I assume that the rest of their offerings are made with the absolute cheapest, institutional ingredients on the market. No way will I return. read more

I've never had a bad drink! I love that they will build your drink your way. Great environment to work in too

I was a little early in meeting friends for a nearby dinner so I've decided to pop into Java house for a cuppa and to stay cool. I ordered a medium iced latte and it came out to like $7. The latte was okay, service was okay, the air conditioning was okay. The ambience is nice. You have an almost perfect view of the courtyard for people watching if that's your thing. All in all this place is just okay but it has a great location. read more

Amazingly yummy iced cappuccino & hot egg sandwich. They also have phenomenal 'green' bottled drinks. Super quick & helpful service! Never tasted English Toffee flavor before & the foam part of my iced cappuccino was the best foam a coffee place has ever created in my experience. Location is perfect & interior is well-kept, clean, & attractive. read more

I was visiting from out of town and this has to be my favorite coffee shop in the Indianapolis area. It was quite busy inside, but that's too be expected on a Saturday morning. The employees were super helpful with my questions. They had a great fall seasonal menu and the Bonfire Brew was the best s'mores inspired coffee drink I've ever had. I cannot wait to come back and if given the option, I'd give more than 5 stars. read more

Nice little place in Midtown. Coffee was good, not great but still worth a stop. Service was a bit interesting. Me: I'll have a medium Mocha. Cashier: would you like whip cream on that? Me: Sure Cashier: what size? Me: Medium Wife: I'll take a small Vanilla Iced Latte? Cashier: what size? Wife: small Cashier: did you want that hot or iced? Wife: iced I still tipped 20%, more for the comedy factor. Oh, we both ordered blueberry muffins and she only rang up one. read more

I don't like coffee, but I really like the vibe of the Java House locations in central Indiana. This Java House has a prime location in Carmel's Midtown Plaza, adjacent to the (free!) public parking garage and near great local businesses like Penn & Beech, Sun King Spirits and Fork and Ale. Five stars for the spacious interior, seating arrangements and Instagram-worthy interior decor. The patio is small but has a few tables tucked behind the large flower plants, which makes it seem more secluded than it is. On nice days, they have the walk-up window open for convenience. As a non-coffee drinker, I wish they had more tea options. They have black, green and hibiscus or two signature drinks. I ordered the Hockey Wife (hibiscus coconut) and while the drink is pretty, I was disappointed. Essentially, all the tea sunk to the bottom and I was drinking straight coconut milk for 3/4 of the cup. I tried to mix it, to no avail. At almost $7 after tax, I didn't think it was worth the money. In the future, I'll just get a plain tea. read more

This was my 2nd visit to this location and it's a nice location but don't go when school lets out! Parking is available across the street from the library and it is a most undesirable and giant crazy traffic mess! Busses everywhere that will run you over when coming off the round about, tons of cars in every direction, not to mention the amount of cars trying to leave at the same time so the line is very long in the parking lot and very difficult to exit North unless some "kind" driver allows you out! Decided to try to new Blackberry cream latte with white chocolate and vanilla. The blackberry cream is good and you can definitely taste the blackberry but the drink was not one I'd get again. I've tried the English toffee and it's delish so I'd stick with that again. This time I ordered a bacon egg bagel again and it came out before my drink so it got steamed in the bag and made the bagel tough. It has a great mix of flavor tho so I'd vote to get it again. It comes served very hot which is how I like my food but waiting on my drink made it lose the crisp I was to the bagel. That's the only reason I'd give it a 4 star. The service was good and they are friendly. Nice decor and fun to people watch on Main Street. Plenty of seating and bar top for laptop work. read more

Cute coffee shop I came across in Carmel. Took a few pictures to share and recommend visiting.

Java House is a solid choice for a quick (or not) coffee stop. They have a lot of unique coffee drinks to choose from. I was grateful I could customize my drink a bit to lessen the sugar.

Love this coffee shop! They have great iced and hot drinks that my husband and I love. Especially love their seasonal drinks and specials (such as pumpkin chai latte in the fall)! I love their location in Carmel midtown right by the monon. It's so lovely to go in and grab a great coffee drink and then walk the monon. I also love studying/working here. Only reason I knock off a star is due to the fact that the hot drinks are always not nearly as hot as I want them to be! They become lukewarm too quickly in my opinion. But taste is always superb. read more

Baristas care about the drinks and quality and have great suggestions when you need a rec. the place has a nice, busy vibe.

Today was my first visit to this location. I had a free drink coupon I received from the Fisher's location grand opening and decided to try out this Carmel midtown shop. Service was excellent! I received a very warm & friendly greeting as I walked in. Initially I ordered a hot drink - specifically the following; 20oz. Sunny Side - Columbian (Medium Roast) 2.5oz. Salted Caramel 20oz. Add signature Whipped Cream. It was prepared quickly but gave me enough time to add 2 boxes of decaf cold brew cups. (Yelp had a 10% off coupon upon checking in which I took advantage of!) There is a parking garage as well as some street parking available. I parked on the street right across from the entrance in the 15 min loading/unloading area since I was getting my order to go. They were quite busy this Sunday at 2:00 p.m. but still I received excellent service. I'm definitely looking forward to going back again and entering my info to gain more points for their loyalty program (using my cell # to check in). read more

After visiting the Clay Terrace location, I was excited to visit this location, especially since it just opened July 2020. Again, I was very impressed all around! I got an iced coffee and it was excellent. I really like how the menu is super simple to order from. There are a few tables inside and a separate area with two large conference tables. What's neat about this location is that in addition to the ordering counter inside, they also have a walk up window facing the outside where customers can place there orders, grab a seat outside and wait for their drink. Not to mention this is a prime location in Midtown Carmel, there is always something to do and something going on. Good job Java House! read more

I have been a huge fan or Java House since I moved to the Midwest. It's always so fun to try their seasonal drink or check out their booth at events around town. The only issue I've had with them was on multiple occasions they forget that I asked for milk alternative. It just makes me feel awkward when I ask to remake the drink since makes me feel like bad for asking. I can tell the difference with one sip and I have lactose intolerance. Not intensely to be affected by a sip, but definitely from a whole drink. read more

Grateful to find a place open on New Years Day to meet up with friends. I was a bit bummed to find that the only non caffeinated options (we met at 2 and I'm caffeine sensitive) were teas. Always on board for a hot chocolate or hot cider. I do understand it is called Java house and the tea I ended up getting was pretty good. I also got a blueberry muffin that had like two blueberries in it? Don't get me wrong it was delicious but not really blueberry. I was also not thrilled with how close all the tables were and the table next to us added so many chairs it was uncomfortable. We were both at four person tables and they legit made there's a seven person table. read more
