    Black Coffee and Breakfast Bagel with Egg and Bacon.
    Katherine A.

    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.

    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.

    Pumpkin Spiced Latte and Sweater Weather

    We had the Pumpkin Spice Latte and the Sweater Weather. Both were good. Staff was really nice and the place is nice.

    Large Cappuccino

    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.

    Java House was such a wonderful establishment! We were able to get in and out of there so so fast! The staff was so friendly and the service was incredibly efficient! The watermelon cucumber mint lemonade was delicious, refreshing, and the perfect summer beverage! And the classic Mango Palmer was a perfect, classic beverage as well!

    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.

    Cold brew with chocolate and cinnamon and a green tea
    Mary H.

    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.

    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 :)

    Overall, the atmosphere and location is phenomenal. Great ambience in the place and they have a lot of great selections in this place is always busy, but doesn't take too long to get a drink. Feels like a bar only though for coffee but only reason for four stars is I usually just get her either cup of coffee and five bucks for a large seems like a lot.

    Pumpkin spice latte
    Mary Z.

    Really loved my pumpkin spice latte from Java House and it's in such a central location in Carmel! The service was great, and I thought their cold brew only drink offerings was a unique touch that makes them standout from other coffee shops. Loved the trendy and modern interior as well!

    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!

    Hello you had me at cold brew. I walked in and ordered two, to start with then came back and got a hot. All were very yummy and almost zero acidity which makes it very nice. The service was very friendly and took great care of me and my coffee needs. The location is also very cool and easy to get in and out of. I found this place very clean. I would come back.

    Location is clean and spacious, I tried the "Honey Baby" latte! And honey let me tell you! It is the perfect balance between honey and cinnamon. The cinnamon was subtle and the honey was the main character in this drink! Highly recommend! * does not come with whip I added* Slowly drinking my way through all of their special lattes! I used the drive through, service was quick and friendly!

It was super easy to find parking, and we came at the perfect time. While there many people inside, just hanging out, we were able to hop in the small line and we had a minimal wait for our drinks. While we waited, we started watching more people file in. Clearly a popular place! I really my iced salted caramel latte.

The compliments were endless--everyone's already asking when Prufrock can come back (ideally every day!). They offer both a coffee cart and trailer service, which was super easy to arrange, and we'll definitely be booking them again in the future. After our event, I finally stopped by their shop in Carmel, IN--and wow, it did not disappoint. You really can't go wrong with coffee in a can, especially when it's the best blueberry vanilla iced latte I've ever had. The owners and staff are genuinely wonderful people who clearly care about what they do. The atmosphere is perfect for catching up with friends or getting some work done, and there are plenty of photo-worthy spots too. Don't be depresso--have some espresso at Prufrock Coffee. You won't be disappointed!

The raspberry pistachio croissant? Oh. My. God. This thing had me in a chokehold. Flaky, buttery layers with the perfect balance of tart raspberry and rich pistachio. It wasn't just good -- it was write-home-about-it good. The kind of pastry that makes you pause mid-bite and question every other croissant you've ever had. The second was a croissant sandwich (I wish I could remember the name!), but the way those flavors paired together? Let's just say it was a full culinary experience. Savory, balanced, indulgent -- you get the hint. Every bite just made sense. Now here's the part that really says something: I grew up on the East Coast where authentic French bakeries are everywhere and the cultural standard is high. I know a proper croissant. And this? This was better. Yes, I said it. We even had the chance to speak with the owner, who was incredibly warm and genuine. He checked in to make sure we enjoyed everything -- which we clearly did, considering we left with boxes to take home. This place isn't just a pastry shop. It's an experience. And trust me, it will be a topic of discussion in our house for days. Run. Don't walk.

Service was a bit slower than I'm used to, so this is definitely not your typical quick breakfast stop. Also, don't come expecting the usual breakfast staples like toast, pancakes, or a side of bacon. The menu leans more toward a curated dining experience rather than a traditional breakfast. Portion sizes were on the smaller side, but again, the presentation was beautiful. I ordered a regular coffee. It was strong somewhere between decent and average. Not the best, but not the worst either. I asked for a refill, and when we received the bill there was an additional $6.82 charge. I was later told that regular coffee does not come with refills. If I had known that beforehand, I probably would not have ordered another cup, or I might have tried one of their specialty coffees instead. Overall, it's a cute spot with European-inspired décor and a unique concept. It's the kind of place you should probably try at least once for the experience.
