    Needmore's outside coffee sign!
    Christian L.

    Awesome Bloomington coffee shop. It is a small place, 5-6 tables and a counter up front. Espressos are crisp and very pungent. This is a local, homey, backwoodsy and also upscale coffee spot. Needmore Coffee truly astounds. Wonderful staff that's happy and delivers hot, fresh, flavorful coffee. Bring some friends and something to read. Serves lemonades and sweet treats! Review: 5

    a cup of cappuccino

    Met a friend today at Needmore Coffee and while I normally don't write reviews other than full restaurant experiences, I thought I'd write a short review because they earned it. Then I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out the name of my drink, and no luck. So I'll say this: Needmore is a cute little shop near the Bloomington College Mall, not a lot of seating but a cozy feel. The drink I ordered was delish but again I have no idea what it's called. It's toasted marshmallow and some other things. You'll know it when you're looking at the menu. I also had a cinnamon muffin that was really good. The issue that made me write this review was simply how nice the barista was as well as the guy who took my order. I actually wanted an iced toasted whatever this is called, but didn't say that. 100% my fault. But when I picked up my order and mentioned it they offered to let me keep this one and make a new one for me. I declined (honestly I had second thoughts while at my table looking at how gloomy it was outside and that I wished I had ordered hot) - maybe they read my mind. Either way, great coffee, neat place, I recommend. Thanks to the staff, they were very gracious and friendly.

    Lavender latte. Strong and good

    Overall, a cozy coffee shop perfect for completing some work on a Sunday morning. The gal at the register was kind and friendly. The coffee was solid. Plenty of little tables inside to do some work. There were also a few lounge chairs and some outside seating. The only thing is that they closed at noon on Sunday. Besides that, highly recommend.

    the coffee aroma of this cafe is so pleasing. the panini is understated but amazing. all the goodies are yummy, the pour over Nicaragua is out of the world

    I needed the coffee to be better and I also needed the general atmosphere to be better. Maybe some background music? Maybe a better attitude exuding a welcoming spirit and gratitude of my patronage from lazy college student tending counter? We popped in as we were buzzing through B-Town and I prefer to support the little guy (not the big coffee chains), but not sure Needmore helps me defend my actions. As a crazy committed straight up regular coffee person, not sure this blend meets my minimal standards of quality. It might have been over roasted. It Needs More of something, but not certain I will return to know.

    Dirty chai! (with paper straw!)

    Needmore is a fantastic stop if you're looking to support a woman-owner business, drink some amazing coffee, or chill out in a beautifully sunlit space. Needmore has a slightly industrial-chic vibe, but it's homey, like a family cabin with a few pipes exposed to let you see the inner workings. There's abundant seating, outlets for charging, huge windows (yay natural light!), and great music. They have coffee roasts that benefit different local partners, and special roasts that harken to specific places (like the Cowle's Bog Roast!). Their baked goods are amazing (the tart was lightly sweet and the berries were fresh), and their drinks are amazing. Whether you're getting a regular coffee or a signature drink like the Bobcat (maple and molasses and black walnut butters, oh my!), you're sure to love Needmore.

The menu is very customizable and they offer the best gluten free and vegan donuts I have had in the state so far (more like dense coffee cake but some of the only sweet treats I am able to tolerate and thus, savor). I can only think of one con and that is the location, it is some-what of a hidden gem in the middle, but at the same time, the south west side of town? Wish they offered free-wifi so I could work at the coffee shop! But has always been worth the drive.

    Really liked it. I believe it's mostly, if not all, vegan. I know they were experimenting with some…read moreitems with dairy a while ago but I did not notice any non-vegan items while I was there, so not sure if that's still a thing. Anyway, it is a little out of the way. It's walkable from downtown but not really in the downtown core. Pretty quiet when I was there, but the atmosphere felt approachable. Some of the chairs were like school desk chairs (adult-sized, of course) that I haven't seen since I was in primary school which was kind of funny. The guy at the counter was cheerful and friendly. They looked like they had run out of some of the hot savory items by Saturday mid-afternoon, but there was still a wide variety of sweets. I believe the current owners are Indian, and you see some of those flavours featured. I got: Samosa handpie: Good, not mind-blowing, but good. Nice flavours. If you like a flaky crust, this is not it, but I liked the rustic pastry crust. Pistachio cardamom donut: Loved it. Before I moved to Bloomington, there were a few bakeries that offered vegan-GF cake donuts that I loved, and this was the first thing I've gotten here that reminded me of that. Pleasant texture and strong cardamom flavour, not too sweet. I think these are baked donuts, so they're a little different from regular fried donuts, but in a good way IMO. Rose dream latte: Milk with rose syrup topped with coconut whip and nuts, no espresso. Tasted great, but more of a dessert drink than I was expecting. The coconut whip was quite thick. The concept could probably use some refinement, because the whip was too thick and rigid to drink without a straw, but the nut pieces were too big to go through a straw, and so I couldn't figure out the best way to drink it. From what I understand, there are some longtime fans of this place who feel like the quality has dropped since the most recent change in ownership, but as someone who had never been here before, I really had a good experience. I get why people would be upset when something changes, but if you are considering trying this place for the first time, I wouldn't be too put off by the negativity around the change in ownership. There's no other place specialized in vegan baking in Bloomington, so I think it's good to support what they are continuing to do here, and even though I am partial to vegan food I wouldn't say that if it wasn't also GOOD. They also had some refreshingly unique options for baked goods.

One of the most revered items they make is the Special K Chewie, a glorious concoction of cereal, peanut butter, and Karo syrup. Ask any IU alum and chances are that he or she will rave about them. Sweet, chewy, crunchy - these no-cook cookies are fantastic. It's hard to believe that such deliciousness can be had for just $1.09! I know they make other cookies, but this is the one for me. When I mentioned that I now lived out of state, the staff told me that they can ship them to me. What?!? I really shouldn't know this, it could be dangerous. If you have reason to be on the IU campus as a guest, student, or traveler, make sure you stop by Sugar & Spice for a quick breakfast or afternoon snack. I made sure there were also some Special K Chewies in my bag for the drive home!

The cookies and muffins and cinnamon roll just seem to melt in your mouth (I'm sure lots of butter is involved). They even have a very good vegan coffee cake! The drinks are not great and consistency is not the name of the game. Maybe the coffee is better than the tea, but the chai tastes more of sugar and cinnamon than tea, and the matcha was very murky, but maybe that's because I got the strawberry matcha and that affected the colour. It didn't taste bad but just didn't taste like quality matcha. They have decent teabags, but the brand and selection varies and is not what's listed on the menu board. They can do a tea latte but don't always have teas that work well with milk. I like the iced tea they make during the summer better than the hot tea. They sometimes have bubble tea, which is made with a machine and is decent (as far as artificially flavoured tea goes) but very sweet. It's a complete gamble as to whether or not the bubble tea machine will actually be on at any given time. I tried to get it in the evening once but was told they usually power it down around 6, so came back around 4:30 next time, but it was off again. I finally did manage to get bubble tea a few times around lunch time and in the morning, but there have also been days where they don't turn it on at all despite displaying the posters for it. Tapioca pearls are on the menu but they seemingly never have them, only the popping pearls. The baristas are students and are sometimes friendly, sometimes not. I would guess there's a combination of high turnover and poor training because some of them just seem very confused. They usually do okay at keeping the line moving though. I come for the baked goods, and just get a drink while I'm at it because I don't want to wait in another line at Starbucks even though I actually think Starbucks makes slightly better drinks.
