    Tried this place after eating dinner and I am highly satisfied !! They have so many options of milk.They have coconut milk, macadamia nut milk, oat, milk, almond milk, etc. can't believe the options they have since many other coffee shops don't have that. The service was exceptional and professional. I tried the Honey baby and it was perfect!! I really enjoyed my coffee and happy I came here!! They have cute names for their coffees and a lot of pastries and breakfast sandwiches! The ambiance is cute with nice decor and nice for studying. It seems like this is the spot to study at. They also have treats for your dog that seems to be very lovely for the pups! I wish they had a location in Cali! I highly recommend here! The prices are good too.

    Blackberry mango smoothie
    Vincent Y.

    Spent two weeks in Indianapolis and came here four times to try their smoothies. Not much of a coffee drinker, but they have amazing smoothies that were refreshing on a hot summer day. My favorite was the strawberry cream smoothie, nice balance of whipped cream and strawberry.

    This place is next door to Los Arroyos in downtown Indianapolis. They have very unique drinks filled with quality brands. The vibe is cool with a modern library feel and the service is good.

    Dubai Chocolate Matcha with Oatmilk
    Kerry K.

    I stopped in because I saw they had a Dubai chocolate Matcha. I was greeted when I walked in and I asked how that drink was. The barista told me it was very popular so I ordered it but with Oatmilk. Service was quick and the space was very calm and would be a good place to visit for work or just a friendly meeting place. I didn't get any food, but they did have a bunch of options form breakfast all day to great looking pastries. The drink was sooo good!

    Cloudy mocha
    Ferdinand C.

    The coffee shop smelled heavenly from the first step in. The service was superb and the coffee complimented well with it. I got the cloudy mocha and it tasted more like chocolate milk which I loved. This place is a gem.

    Esther's Creation
    Irene L.

    I want to shout out Esther (Ester) and Skyler (Skylar) I don't want to butcher the spelling - I didn't ask for spelling! Visiting from out of town, my friend wanted to take me to her favorite coffee shop and meet her favorite barista who was not there, but luckily we were blessed with even greater service and company! At first I didn't make anything until I was in a great conversation with Esther and she mentioned a drink she personally loves to make herself and I was SOLD! I immediately HAD to try it! It was delipcious and I hope she puts it in the menu or submits it because I would go back for it every week if I were in Indianapolis! Lovely vibes, great ambiance for being in a downtown area - I am very happy I decided to try out a drink! If I'm not mistaken it was an Iced Lavendar Cold Foam Chai Latte with Honey drizzle- ask for Esther if she's there and try this amazing creation! Sending all the radiant and positive energy right back to this coffee shop! Thank you both!

    Bonfire Brew
    Penny B.

    Went here for a quick breakfast on a Saturday morning. The drinks were great! I got a Bonfire Brew which is a s'more inspired seasonal drink. It was incredible! My boyfriend got an iced caramel latte which was also great! We also got an everything bagel with cream cheese and a breakfast wrap. The wrap was just okay. It could use a little sauce on the side maybe. The bagel was just a classic everything bagel. No complaints there. Service was quick and friendly. The place is decorated really cute. They have a little instagram follower count device that's quite fun to watch flip when you follow them! I would recommend getting any of the drinks from there, but the food is hit or miss.

    This is one of my favorite coffee shops in Indy so far! I met a friend here for coffee but ended up ordering a strawberry and lemon smoothie which was super sweet and delicious. They have such a cool menu and I want to come back and try more items!

    Java House, oh, Java House. My recently moving downtown was not great for my wallet, but probably amazing for their business. I can say that Java House has been my favorite spot for cold brew for a few years nowTheir cold foam is top tier. They just know how to do cold brew! I typically go to the New York st. Location, but I've also visited Broad Ripple. I LOVE going here to study or work, and seemingly so does everyone else. They're never not busy! Perfect spot to work. Not a fan of the paper straws at all but that obviously doesn't stop me from frequenting.

    Cute coffee shop. The person who waited on me was very friendly. I didn't try the food but the coffee was very good. I sat in a cozy seat in the back and enjoyed my coffee.

    Lit up sign so pretty
    Yvette A.

    Craving coffee and on the way to work, this place came to mind this morning. I love how they have complimentary parking available, it makes being downtown so much easier. Not to busy, and service was quick. Ordered the Maho hot which is one of their signature drinks, $6 not a bad price. It's toasted coconut flavored with coconut milk, so comforting. The ambience is very chill, work mode, coffee house vibe and pretty quiet as it was not too many people inside. I'm glad this is here as it's convenient to my workplace.

    Neopolitan Seasonal Drink!
    Abigail C.

    I'm a sucker for Java House, especially when they come out with fun seasonal drinks. I had the neopolitan drink (half sweet) and loved it! I appreciate that Java House allows for customers to reduce sweetness (you can even do no sugar for some drinks) since I need to watch my sugar intake. Employees are always so friendly and they keep the house clean! 10/10 take your coffee business to Java House rather than Sbucks - it's cheaper and the quality is 10x better Also - they give IUPUI students a 10% discount when you bring your Crimson card :)

This spot is just off the creek, with a decent parking lot and a drive through. It has a deeper warmer green than a Starbucks, and it draws a much warmer crowd too. We chatted often with the people in this shop! And we visited twice. How welcoming is that? The breakfast burrito is nothing flashy, but definitely warm gooey goodness. What sets it apart is the sauce: creamy, gently spiced, something like a seasoned mayo but not spicy. Coffee, of course, is the backbone here, and it's handled with a kind of calm precision. Our barista kindly alerted my partner and me that a warm blueberry latte would have oatmeal because of course the blueberry curdles regular milk. It was great attention to detail, and it's why we came back again and again during our week long trip. They had a special for every day! Shout out to the orange blossom latte which made me feel like a fairy amidst the city's tulips.

It has smooth, creamy, with notes of butter and earthy cardamom. I'm visiting from out of town but I would not hesitate grabbing another coffee before leaving town. Highly recommended.

It feels like indulging in a little luxury. When I really want something special, I get their pistachio latte. It's super tasty! They have baked goods as well and the from my experience, the staff working are kind and friendly. There's loads of open seating scattered throughout this floor of the building. There's loads is also some quiet seating one floor up that I believe faces a gallery wall. Every time I come here I notice something new! Highly recommend checking it out.

It can be quite loud so keep that in mind if you want a quieter reflection time, and maybe take it to go or sit outside. They have various food items but I absolutely LOVE their peanut butter energy balls! In fact that is why I came to this location as this is where the magic happens. They make them here and send them to other Tinker locations! They are the perfect blend of savory and a tad sweet and go super well with their coffee and/or London Fog tea. Yum! I will freely admit to buying all they had on hand, and now can enjoy them at home. Yay! It is a very busy spot so not the friendliest of staff, but assumed they were already hassled from the morning. It was a great spot to meet a friend and enjoy the patio and some tea/coffee. I would for sure go back and even bring a friend! In fact I've already mentioned it to several people as a potential meet up spot! Definitely something to enjoy!
