My morning needs are simple: a damn good cup of coffee and free wifi. Cue in Kaffeine with their precision to brew one of the best cups of coffee in the northeast quadrant of downtown Indy. If you haven't paid a visit to this spot I suggest you hurry and change that fast. read more

I love how secluded and out of the way Kaffeine is! Behind the Circa Apartments, Kaffeine is the coolest, most chill coffee shop in town. The atmosphere feels like you're about to go on a safari or an Indiana Jones adventure with maps and charts and the like. There is minimal seating so I probably wouldn't bring work here but it's great for a quick meeting or chat with a friend. They are known for their Spanish latte so give it a try! read more

This little coffee shop is a hidden, chill place that's great if you're a Mass Ave resident of Circa or 707 North Apartments. Its within good walking distance. My first time visiting and the decor is very earthy, with a rustic feel. The wall facing the coffee bar has a geographic globe spread across the entire wall. Also, I liked the antique, vintage cash register that was actually used. Kelly waited on me and took my order after explaining the menu. I ordered a Spanish latte, made with Almond milk. I found a cozy spot to sit and wait for my order to be called for pick up, to have 'in-house' experience of the ambience. It was average noise level, a few ppl caring on conversations over a cup of coffee, and even surfing the internet on their laptops. After 20 minutes, I noticed the coffee shop had become crowded and I still had not received my order. I went to address the barista but, it seems they had forgot my order. Then when he made the Spanish Latte, he made it without Almond milk ‍. Once the barista realized he made it incorrectly, he immediately apologized for the inconvenience and for the delay of receiving my order. Another 10 minutes went by, and by this time I needed to leave, so I politely asked for my Spanish latte be made To-Go. After an additional apology, I was given my coffee and sent on my way. The brief experience I had with the ambience was okay, but the staff needs to be more mindful of special orders/request. On a positive note, the Spanish Latte was delicious, Kaffeine. read more

It's a bummer to have any cafe that specializes in "good" coffee not serve a decaf espresso or even drip. I get that they're called "Kaffeine" but eliminating coffee lovers who can't have caffeine is pretty lame. Obviously, won't be back since I can't drink anything. read more

Kaffeine Coffee - Spanish latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Located behind Mass Ave in an area you wouldn't expect a coffee shop to be. My kind of vibe. You walk into a warm toned, cozy space that's decored with wood and vintage feels. It felt like I was in Nashville for second. The barista was so nice to me and even helped recommend things based on him asking what I usually like, whIch I thought was super kind of him. I tried the ham and cheese pastry square and a Spanish latte. I liked both of them! I liked this spot too because it wasn't sooo busy that I couldn't find a spot to sit and be comfortable. Definitely a new favorite spot for me :) read more

Finally was able to visit this cute and unique coffee shop! I love the feel of Kaffeine and the Iced coffee did not disappoint. The barista offered to add sweetener and cream and it was the perfect amount. Kaffeine has multiple tables so it would be a great place to study, relax or have a meeting. They also offer pastries, granola bars and some fancy chocolate. Definitely a great local coffee shop making it easy to support small businesses! read more

Kaffeine Coffee - Spanish latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Kind staff. Cute place. I wish there was outdoor seating or open windows with Covid now, but overall a cute Indy place.

The service here is great. I've been here at various times of the day and they're always super friendly. They are open early in the morning so it is really nice for someone like me, a nurse, to be able to get a treat before work. There are multiple tables for both group and solo working. When the weather is nice the big garage door up and it invites you right in. Having another coffee just off of Mass is a great part of the neighborhood. Fun fact, Circa residents get discounts. read more

I love this place. It's a large space, with exposed beams and a huge garage door they love to open, weather permitting. The drinks and baked good here are out of this world, and I feel that all the baristas here are really creative and will definitely come up with something delicious for you if you ask. Amazing spot to come and hang for a bit. The crowd generally is a studious one, if you are wanting a table be sure to come early! See you soon! read more

This location is quite hidden, but it does have some parking and has an interesting environment. It's down a small side street, where the west side is an apt building and the other side is a brick building that features several buildings. There's a small "K" sign above the entrance - be careful or you'll miss it. There is actually parking, but check the signs. Some parking is available for this coffee shop, but make sure you are parking where it is available for K coffee! When you enter, you need to go up a big step, so this is not wheelchair accessible. Entering, you immediately see an all gender bathroom (yay) and it's a large space with various tables, chairs, and counters. I only had a drip coffee, and it was solid. This place is known for its fancy coffee, so next time I'll have to check that out. read more

I stopped by here twice on a recent visit to Indy, and I must say that I was greatly impressed. Parking was fine for me, but I stopped by at a pretty slow time. I could see how it might become an issue. I had African coffee the first time and the Bicerin with a cinnamon scone the second. Both drinks were very good, but I don't know that there's a lot here if you don't like coffee. But seriously, why would you be here in that case? Walking in, the place just screams hipster, and I don't mean that in a bad way. They use an iPad for your order, but then they have an old register if you give them cash. There's an old (empty) coke machine, 48 star flag and random antiques decorating the place. The staff seemed nice as well. I will definitely be back - I have a few more coffees to try. read more

Kaffeine Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Kaffeine Coffee is a true gem in the Mass Ave area. The menu is simple but the coffee is soooo delicious. I've never ventured out from their regular coffee, but I think that speaks volumes as that alone keeps me going back. This morning I decided to visit Kaffeine for my morning boost and to my surprise - Free Coffee!! This is a great way to show appreciation to the customers for their anniversary. The only downside this morning was that only one person was working and the line was backed up to the door, however, no one seemed to mind. read more

Atmosphere is very muted and warm here and the coffee is one of the better in town. They had a lot of options, one of the more comprehensive lists I've found. I've had their cappuccino and Spanish latte and can recommend both. It's definitely a work hub for remote workers. There aren't many outlets available but the wifi is pretty fast. read more

So yummy! Great atmosphere and kind baristas. I think this might be the most fun industrially-vibed place in indianapolis m.

Kaffeine is likely the best kept secret - concerning coffee - in Indianapolis. Tucked away in the northeast corner of downtown, a block or two off Mass. Ave, Kaffeine boasts only a small sign above the door of an unassuming building in the alley off Fulton street. It's the kind of place you don't stumble upon, unless you're looking for it. The interior is roomy, quiet, modern, and functional. The menu is located on a piece of paper by the cash register, and can change on a whim. Because of COVID-19, seating was more limited than usual (and the hours of operation were adjusted), however, patrons were quietly reading and working around the room at acceptable distance. In the center of the room, the masked barista was plying his trade. I am a connoisseur of coffee. The way people speak of wine, I speak of coffee. I like bold, rich, dark coffees that are unsullied by syrups and other flavors. I informed the barista that I wanted something dark, bold, nutty, natural, and dry. He recommended a dark Peruvian coffee. What he then delivered was excellent. Bold, rich, earthy, and not acidic. There were notes of flowers and tree nuts in the finish (aftertaste); darkest Peru in a cup. The price was modest for my 8oz. ticket to Peru; money well spent. There were tubs of coffee beans marked with other countries too. I will definitely be heading back to Kaffeine again to see what other tastes I can experience. I highly recommend you do the same. read more

Finally, I've found it. A coffee shop that's 6 minutes from home, with designated parking (and close to Mass Ave if you need more spots), a minimalist but aesthetically pleasing interior, low music volume and minimal noise, plenty of comfortable seating, and a coffee menu that covers all bases. I enjoyed my coffee so much that my partner and I collectively drank 4 cups and now we can't sit still (they weren't kidding about the Kaffeine). Our barista confirmed they do $3 bottomless house blend coffee which is a good idea because their menu is a TAD pricey if you're gonna sit there a while (I had 2 12 Oz kaffe mochas and it put me out a cool $10). Definitely looking forward to doing that next time. They also have free water, and a section to purchase cold drinks like bai, la croix, and smartwater. Their WiFi was out but they normally do have WiFi - hope that is fixed soon because it was truly a pleasure spending a few hours studying here! read more

Great atmosphere. Spanish latte is pretty good. Service was quick and lots of seating area!

A bit off the beaten path, you'll find Kaffeine Coffee tucked behind the Circa apartments. Parking is rough, so walk if you can. Loved the interiors and the way the space was laid out. Plenty of smaller four person tables and one large table on the opposite side of the bar. Small menu which makes it easy to make a decision. I didn't want anything too heavy and I was recommended the Spanish Latte. Steamed with cinnamon to make it a bit sweeter. My biggest gripes were the fact that they didn't have a lot of areas that you could plug up your computer. Which in my opinion make a coffee shop a winner. If I know I can hunker down and get some work done, you're higher on my list of shops to visit. Second, I thought it was a really nice gesture that everyone who ordered a drink and sat down was brought their beverage to their table. That was until I heard my name being called by the girl to pick up my drink at the bar before she even finished making the drink. No one else during my time there was called up for their drink. The music was also pretty loud. Multiple times my friend and I felt like we were yelling over the music to hear each other. Overall, good atmosphere and my drink was solid. I'd definitely stop in again on a day when I think I can get a decent parking spot and a table with a outlet. read more

I'm always on the hunt for a good coffee shop while traveling and this place of fantastic! I will stop by again for sure.

4.5 stars: No other coffee shop in Indy like this one, esthetically speaking! Kaffeine is located behind Circa Apartments and just a few steps away from mass ave. The building looks like it used to be a warehouse/loft/ or factory of some sort. With exposed beams, an industrial feel, high ceilings and modern light fixtures, Kaffeine really kicked it out of the ball park when capitalizing on this unique space's features. While the coffee isnt anything superior to other coffee shops in the area, they do offer bottomless coffee for under $3! They have an array of pastries, non-kaffeinated (hehe see what i did there?) protein bars, nuts and parfaits. Free wifi to customers and great customer service! Highly recommend this place to anyone wanting good service, quality coffee/drinks/food and an inviting atmosphere. read more

After making a few circles to find this place, my friend and I finally made it in. What a great hidden spot! I absolutely love the interior. The tile at the entrance says "Coffee Inside," the back wall has a huge mural of the world, and the vintage mixed with industrial decor - it all just works! Oh and the music selection was great! My friend and I posted up at a table near the window, but not right by the window. There were two small heaters close to us so it felt super cozy. We had checked in on the Yelp app and there was a discount of $0.25 for checking in our first time. Always nice to see businesses do that. I got the Kaffeine Coffee Drip which was really good. The barista even let me sample it before ordering. She also mentioned to let her know if I needed a refill. So that was nice to know they offer that. I don't think it's free, but I'm sure it wouldn't be much extra. After an hour we realized we needed to charge our laptops. The outlets we saw were against the wall. Luckily, a guy moved from a table and we moved so our wires wouldn't be in the way of anyone. Great coffee spot with a great atmosphere. Will definitely be back. FYI- parking is limited so beware of that. read more

Kaffeine Coffee - Perfect spot to get some work done! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I am not a big coffee drinker, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit this cafe during the "Yelp's Phobruary Vietnamese Coffee 101" event. The cafe is located behind the Cirque apartment complex, along with other businesses. It has a rustic industrial feel, and very spacious and quiet. It could be a nice place to study. The owner is very friendly and knowledge about coffee, and you can tell he has a passion for it too. I stopped drinking coffee several years ago, but decided to try the Vietnamese coffee just for the experience. The coffee is slowly brewed with milk added to it. It can be brewed hot or cold. We tried the cold brew at the event, and I wasn't disappointed. It kinda tasted like nestle coffee to me, but the flavor of the milk could have something to do with it. For coffee lovers, I would absolutely recommend this place. The only issue I foresee is finding a parking spot. read more

We walked from my work office a few blocks away. Walking there, it seems like you're in the wrong place. I assume it would be different if you're driving there. Just look for the "Coffee" sign on their garage door and you'll know you're in the right place! It was a beautiful, sunny day so I asked for the barista's favorite iced drink. He made me the Vietnamese iced coffee. Honestly, it wasn't the best. It had a weird initial taste that was always there with every taste. It was okay, but nothing I would order again. We got them to go, and there was a good inch or so short of coffee from the top of our cups as well, something that's a bit frustrating to me. As far as in the interior and staff, 5 stars. It's a beautiful, modern design with lots of random "construction work shop" themed items throughout the coffee shop. Beautiful and a perfect place to study, work, design, whatever you want for a coffee shop. I hope to be back soon and get something that has people coming back for more, but as of now, the iced Vietnamese left a not-so-pleasant taste. read more

LOVE this new, local coffee shop located downtown! Kaffeine Coffee is a quaint coffee shop that has a lot of character, a neat layout and really great coffee/tea. My friend and I came here to do some homework on a Friday afternoon, and it wasn't crowded at all. We worked on our computers for hours, but the WiFi began to get spotty, which made us leave (bummer). However, my dirty chai tea latte was delicious! There was so much spice and flavor. Heads up: if you seem to not be able to find the shop right away, no worries! I promise you are in the right spot. When you park along the warehouse, there is only a small sign that hints that Kaffeine Coffee is located inside. So keep your eyes peeled! Tip: Check in on the Yelp app to get $0.25 off espresso or brewed coffee! Heck yeah! read more

Kaffeine Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

If it weren't for Yelp and the determination of my companion we never would have found this place. Which would have been unfortunate because it's a great space. The coffee was good and the menu extensive. It's one of those places that will brew your coffee in various ways with very little difference in results (at least to the average, unpretentious caffeine addict). But I'm all about the experiance and when it comes to coffee I can pretend with the best of them to justify paying 3 and 4 times the price for a beverage I could make at home. And I'd rather find locally owned places like Kaffeine than darken the doors of "that other coffee place". As we went through the rest of our day we discovered that the Kaffeine coffee truck is a well loved establishment amongst locals. I wish them the very best in their newest endeavor. I think the brick and mortar spot has lots of potential. For instance, I hope they eventually take full advantage of that huge pastry case. And maybe have live music! read more

Kaffeine Coffee - Bicerin (layered chocolate, espresso and steamed milk) and almond biscotti. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Looking for a cool place downtown to chill at while enjoying coffee (nice selection of varieties) brewed via various methods then you should check out this sweet spot. They have drip coffee, espresso creations, pour over varieties. While you will not find a million flavors available here you will find great coffee so do not hesitate to try out the available offers. My recommendations: Drip coffee with condensed sweet cream or the Spanish latte. For the dishes purists you can get your drinks and food served on dishes. I opted to save on the mug and request a to go cup because I dislike someone having to wash dishes and I wanted to savor my delicious latte a bit longer during my afternoon errands. Not seeking coffee? Check out the teas and other drink selections. I saw flavors of Bai drinks that I have yet to find in Indy except recently at Costco. My companion of the day had a Fanta pineapple soda in a glass bottle. Need something to munch on? They have you covered with a selection of pastries. I highly recommend the almond croissant! Not too sweet, just the right amount of crunch and the flaky layers will have you wanting another one. read more

Kaffeine Coffee - Mostly empty at 9am on a Wednesday. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Kaffeine is one of my favorite coffee shops - ever. The vibe is strong, environment is productive, and the coffee is, well, out-of-this-world. Kaffeine is perhaps the best place to sit down and be productive, or enjoy a conversation and catch up with a friend; it can do both very well. I'm a black coffee drinker and their house blend is smooth, not overly acidic, and is keen at warming the soul. Also, do not forget to get a blueberry muffin! You won't be disappointed! read more

I went here to get a cup of tea. It took about 15-20 minutes. There were three people working the counter, clearly enough to handle the number of people coming through the door but the service model they were using was the most backwards, inefficient model I have ever seen. Making coffee shouldn't/need not be so difficult or time consuming. These three people were working way to hard and their process had a lot of extraneous steps that added time. I am saying this because I stood in line for ten minutes while they took the orders for the TWO people in front on me. Then I waited another five-ten minutes for them to literally pour hot water into a thermos with a tea bag and hand it to me. The actual shop is super cool and I would totally hang out here and read a book, meet friends etc... The drinks they made looked and smelled delicious. The staff was friendly and very sincere.... just not efficient. read more

With new coffee shops popping up all around the city, there is no doubt stiff competition to find your coffee niche and run with it! Kaffeine's "old world charm" invited me to cozy up and stay for awhile! When you pull up there is free parking outside, which is quite the novelty for Mass Ave! In addition, they have quite an extensive list of teas and coffees from around the world. I was even invited to smell all the lovely teas before making my decision. I ended up with the pomegranate green tea, which I really enjoyed! A friend ordered the chai and was less than impressed with the flavor unfortunately. Finally, they also offer an extensive case of pastries for your morning sweet tooth! read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in Indianapolis. Their menu is so unique with many types of international coffee and espresso drinks, all of which are authentic. My personal favorite is an iced Spanish latte. Honorable mentions include the Bicerin, African coffee, Vietnamese coffee, and the Cafe de olla. The coffee brews taste great too. The owner and baristas are very nice and show great patience with me when I stare at the menu for 5 minutes before deciding what to order. Great place to study (lighting is a bit dim however) or socialize with lots of seating space. I enjoy the aesthetics of the atmosphere here as well. Indy needs more places like this! read more
