I was at a nearby Yelp event, however, this is a cool little retail corner and I decided to visit a…read morecouple of other spots. I'd always been curious about Brickhouse Coffee. So, I finally decided to stop in. Brickhouse is located in a larger strip center set back from Fall Creek Road at 96th. It has both indoor and outdoor tables. There's a curb-cut almost directly in front of it, and nearby parking offers accessible options. This strip center is actually fairly old, though Brickhouse moved in not long after the pandemic hit as I recall. It has survived and thrived, from what I've been told, because of their quality products, winning ambience, and friendly service. This is the retail home of Brickhouse Roasters. There's a strong element of faith as the cornerstone of Brickhouse as the owners were missionaries, and their stated mission involves using their coffeehouse as a training platform for missionaries. Brickhouse is locally owned and Indy-based. You can get their beans here, and there's a wide variety of options. Basic options include coffees, lattes, espressos, and all the varieties one would expect. Brickhouse also carries Nelson Teas, Thrive Kombucha, Pure Memory Water, Triple X Root Beer, Martinelli Apple Juice, Natalie Orange Juice, Evian Sparkling Water, imported Mexican sodas and other options. Brickhouse has breakfast and lunch options, baked goods, and quite a bit more. The ambience is definitely a winner. It's intimate yet bold, comfortable yet sort of invigorating. The employees I met were super friendly on a quiet Sunday morning. They are open seven days a week, though there's some variance in their hours. As someone who is almost embarrassingly devoted to my Keurig, I was pleasantly surprised to see they do have some pod options for retail. I'd just gone to a Yelp event, so I kept it pretty simple on this visit and picked up an iced coffee. There's no doubt I'll be back to try the baked goods. I also noted the friendliness of the customers. That's always a good sign to me. As someone who is frequently alone, I tend to go to those places where I can connect even if it's just a passing friendliness. I felt that here. I'll be back.

This is a fun coffee spot with tons of good seating both inside and out. It is a busy place so…read moreunfortunately we weren't able to get our beverages in the timeframe we had the day we went. But it was a fun vibe and I would go back. It seemed like everyone was happy with their purchases but if you have to wait 20 minutes just to place an order I plan on having more time than we did for the meet up. I'll go back another day when I have more time as it was a good spot for a meet up and or to work.

The food and the staff were both fantastic. The Audrey's Hash had great flavor and the portions…read morewere very generous! I was excited that they even had gluten free toast, which could be done regular or cinnamon style. They have a "serve yourself" coffee bar where you can pick your own mug - and mine is from a local artist who you can also connect with to buy his pottery. I look forward to coming back!

The interior is nice and the staff were super friendly, but honestly once ai walked in and heard the sun I would probably have left if my friend wasn't already sitting down. It is very very loud inside. So diners going in should know and if you want to have quiet conversations this is not your spot - or sit outside. I saw they had some tables set up outside which was a great solution! The food options were nice and what we got was delicious and well prepared. I thought the portion sizes were a tad small for the price, but the taste was great and lots of flavors and layers which made for a wonderful lunch. It was a fun spot to be inside a school space but honestly unless I went on an off time I would probably steer clear of this spot with others. I'd go back on my own for a meal or do take away or sit outside. It was lovely but just too loud for my tastes and wasting pleasure.

Ziggi's is a chain coffee shop, but it's slightly smaller than that other coffee chain. (You know…read morethe one.) So I felt slightly better about kind-of-not-really-but-yes-sort-of supporting a local coffee shop. They have a drive-thru, but I parked and went inside to get my coffee. The Sundays were playing over the speakers when I entered, which is always a good sign. I just ordered a black cup of coffee -- they have medium and dark roast drip coffee. It was good coffee, and surprisingly, it got better as it got cooler. I've never had that happen before! Usually, black coffee gets more bitter as it sits, but not so with Ziggi's. They sell a variety of baked goods, packaged cookies, premade breakfast burritos, as well as other beverages that aren't coffee, like smoothies, teas, and something called Energy Infusions. In fact, these kinds of drinks make up the majority of their menu, and their menu didn't even have regular coffee on it. I had to ask if they even sell drip coffee, and indeed they do. The people who work here were very friendly and super efficient. The location is great -- right off the I-70.

What a fun and welcoming place to get a coffee and sit for a while. I ordered the raspberry dream latte and she ordered some caramel honey something iced coffee and they were both delicious! We sat down in the caboose and enjoyed the details and we just went to the back to get some pictures. I will say I can honestly appreciate that they have a reservation sign up for the back of the caboose which makes so much sense. Time and time again we have gone to coffee shops and too many people are just hogging up areas and or treating the coffee shops like it's their personal office area so i definitely appreciate that you must make a reservation to enjoy the experience of the caboose. Other coffee shops should get on board with this kind of idea...pun intended! (Wink wink) Our experience was definitely a great one and looking forward to a not so windy day to be able to enjoy the patio area outside. Great staff, great drinks! Definitely a must visit!

They have hot and cold coffees, a croissant option, a English muffin option and some sweet treats as well. I got a regular brew coffee with a splash of oatmilk- glad they had that option. Was going to try a turkey English muffin sandwich but was advised the sandwiches are pre-made, they could take the cheese off but I just didn't want there to be any dairy on it so I just stuck with my coffee. The cashier/ server was very nice, professional and helpful, even offering suggestions since this was my first time. It was quick service, no hassel. Coffee was good, not bitter. Price was a little high, but probably not as much as the ....Bucks. I honestly haven't bought coffee in a long time as I'm used to making my own... So if yall ever want to add New Orleans blend (coffee and and Chickory) that would be a plus. Why not yall have Mexican and Americano...
