    Why can't there be more locations outside of Indy?! Java House is such a great place and its people are equal delightful. The drinks speak for themselves. I had the maho and workaholic and both drinks were smooth, uplifting and left me wanting more. Their breakfast sandwiches are pretty good too but still on the fence about those. Looking forward to coming back on my next trip back to Indy!

    Life-saving AED station

    I've visited this shop several times while in the area shopping, dining and walking along the Monon Trail. The cafe is very chill and is a great place to work, enjoy a drink, people-watch, and chat with your friends. Their signature drinks are delicious, and I haven't had one that I didn't like. They offer a variety of coffee-based beverages as well as smoothies, baked goods and juices. The staff are always very upbeat and friendly. On the outside of the business, I noticed a Public Access AED SaveStation. It is sponsored by Java House and several other companies and is located directly on the side of their building. "You have the power to save a life" is the slogan and there are instructions listed on how to use it. I thought this was pretty cool.

    There is street parking only and I walked a couple blocks to get there but I really enjoyed that this location was right along the Monon Trail. There's plenty of indoor seating and a few tables outside too. I got the Honey Baby drink and Bacon & Cheese Eggs Bites. Both hit the spot. It was too cold inside so I grabbed a seat outside instead and people watched activity on the trail.

    Java House broadripple is a comfortable coffee spot for meeting a friend, working remotely, or just grabbing a quick coffee to go. They have lots of coffee options, smoothies and juices. Most beverage are anywhere from $3-6. They have quick bites like wraps, egg bites, bagel and muffin sandwiches. I love that it's located right off the Monon so you can stop in and get a cold brew and continue your walk. Always excited to try something new here. They have seasonal drinks too which keep the menu fresh and we appreciate that! Today I tried the maho with coconut milk, dark chocolate, topped with coconut and their whip cream. Delicious. I will probably get next time without the fresh coconut on top. But flavor is great! Egg bites taste a little bland, but they feel healthy!!! Lol perhaps the bacon ones are better. We'll try that one next time. Service was fast and prompt. Barista was kind and offered a carrier for the other drinks I purchased. Will definitely be back to try some things from the spring menu.

    Stop by on my way home from the gym. This was my third time at this particular location. It seems to be always busy, but the staff is nice and my order did not take long. I was in and out.

    Breakfast bagel, Workaholic

    My Indy bestie and I had a very last minute opportunity to catch up and she lives on the opposite side of town where I'm from. I asked her to pick something relatively in-between us (B-Rip FTW) and good for her kiddos. Logistically it is more difficult for me to travel from the southside to Broad Ripple anymore BUT gives me a chance to see what's happening in/around my old digs. Parking is still the same... not that great. But gives a good excuse to walk along the Monon Trail! This one is close to her office and sometimes she will telework from here-- there's plenty of space for that or if you just want to chill. Java House is a local chain that focuses on cold brew, so their coffees will tend to be more sweeter than standard fare. The barista working that day was super nice - he walked me thru the menu, offered to give me samples of their 4 blends, and was patient with the kiddos when one of them wanted to order a Cake Pop by himself. They are fairly dairy-free friendly but do not have dairy-free creamers or whip. The Workaholic is one of their staple drinks, created when the brand was starting out. It comes with almond milk (yay!) and I was able to get no whip. The barista was concerned if I had an allergy after I also asked to not put cheese on my breakfast bagel sandwich (love me anything Everything Seasoning!). The concern was appreciated even though I don't have to avoid dairy... it's just not my best friend :p

    Adorable shop, accessible off of the monon trail, and delicious abundance of coffee to start your day off right. Service was quick & the inside was super relaxing. Outside was quiet and perfect for a day of remote work or a coffee date.

    Wife says this is the best Latte near us (and she doesn't give that out easily.) It's a great place to have a morning cup of Joe. I've only had coffee here and it's always been good. I've met people here to talk about hiking plans. I've worked here. I've met people to talk. I've also come here just to hang alone. It's a good, fun place.

    I do like that Java house maintains its consistency and quality across different coffee shops and that pretty much shows in the quality of their coffee, the overall ambience. I ordered pumpkin cold foam Brew and it was smooth, creamy, with a hint of pumpkin and maple. My to go order took less than 3 minutes despite the coffee house being busy at 4pm and I was well out of my way in about 5 minutes. The space was impeccably spotless and usually clean, my coffee was just the right cold and absolutely delicious flavors. Pumpkin cold foam brew is a keeper y'all!

    I like my coffee bitter and black best. So Java House's cold brew sweet concoctions aren't quite to my taste. That said--they do a great job at this location. They have a wide range of specialty drinks. And if you like your coffee smooth and sweet, I bet you'll find great treats here. The staff are friendly and happy to answer questions about any of the unique offerings on their menu. And the location is a great place to meet as it's always clean and well-lit with sun from the Monon.

    Java House has locations all over the Indy area, and I love it! This location is really convenient as its steps from the Monon Trail. I was able to quickly grab a coffee and take it on my walk. Today I had the Neopolitan, and the strawberry cold foam is so good!! They recently revamped their menu and have a lot of interesting drink options.

    Fireside flannel latte
    Emily S.

    Quality coffee, beautiful views, cozy shop!!! 10/10 add this place to your list! I tried the fireside flannel latte that was a maple latte with butterscotch cold foam and WOW amazing.

    Came in late-Sunday morning to the Broad Ripple location to study for a bit and I have fallen in love. In terms of food, I ordered a sausage egg sandwich and a hot Workaholic (medium maple almond latte) and I was impressed with both! The sandwich was toasted and flavorful and the coffee was delightful without being overly sweet. In terms of service, the baristas are so quick! By the time I got all my things out to study at the bar, my drink was already ready. The space is cozy with Christmas decorations and a classy wood / brick interior. Gives me industrial chic vibes. As a girlie who always is looking for a good study spot, the lighting at the bar was warm and didn't cast weird shadows as I was taking notes. There were outlets all around, and the ambient noise / music was great. Definitely will be back here again.

It is a bit challenging to find parking but there are a few spots in front. I parked down the street and walked which is always an option. There are a few stairs to get in but also a ramp, and the set up has a nice aisle like space for the line and plenty of tables and chairs. 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!

Service was friendly and prompt despite it being a one woman show at the time. Overall, it was a positive experience. They had a handful of outlets which make it convenient for remote work.

She was great at communicating when I walked in that she needed a few minutes and then would be able to help me too. Another time I went with my parents on a late morning Saturday. My mom and I both loved our drinks, but we knew what to order. There were multiple people working behind the counter, but the barista taking orders was not friendly or very helpful on this particular day. My dad did not know what to order and asked what tea is refreshing and is one that the barista would recommend. The barista said that the green tea is really popular, but did not ask whether he wanted it hot or iced or give a recommendation for that. The tea came out hot on a hot day where we planning to walk the Monon and check out other local businesses. To be fair, I did ask him if he wanted me to ask for the drink to be remade or to get him a new one as I had overheard his order and also assumed it would be coming out iced. He said it was fine (but then complained on our walk). This was a bit disappointing. There have been times I have walked out after a few minutes of no acknowledgement from baristas here. It is not a cafe that I would want to sit in and work in as a lot of the space does not look workable. The last time I did come in with papers I planned to read in between appointments, I did not want to put my bag on the floor or my papers on a table because both were dirty. The book page wall has seen better days and would benefit from a revamp. I love the outdoor area though and the can tops are really cool. There is a lot of potential here, but when staff appears like they do not want to be there it makes customers not want to be there either. I would also urge the owners to be more receptive to criticism. The TikTok videos about Prufrock did not influence my review, but it did encourage me to leave my own review based on my own experiences.
