Popped in here for a quick coffee and snack right when they opened and was so happy with everything! I ordered a flat white and the espresso in it was perfect! I also loved seeing that they had a few food items as well. I went with a cheese toasty and loved how it was presented! So cute and perfect for an art space like this! I hope to come back again soon and work from here because the space was really lovely and the person who served me was so sweet. read more

I think I just found another hideaway for myself. The repurposed industrial building into a community art space AND coffee shop?! *chefs kiss* P.s. I heard the avocado toast is a gem here. Will grab that next time. read more

Normal Coffee - community library - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

What a neat space! My family and I stopped by while in the area between a library visit and lunch. My husband ordered drip coffee and enjoyed it, and we took in the art, enjoyed the big light- filled space, and used the clean restrooms. It's neat that a free and public space like this exists- we saw a couple work sessions, meetings, and dates around us. Plenty of room for all. This is a great community staple! The art exhibit wasn't the most family-friendly when we visited, but I'd love to come back for the next exhibits! read more

I've been meaning to check out a new coffee place, and after a quick yelp search, normal coffee popped up, and it was very close to work so I had to pop over The service is great! Very friendly folks and when they discovered I worked in the neighborhood, I received the neighborhood discount which I appreciated. I decided on the normal latte with lavender syrup, and the Avocado toast! Both were fresh and delicious, and I am now a big lavender fan! The toast was awesome because it had picked onion and, was spicy! I know I'll become a regular since it's so close, and the prices are great! read more

The best art gallery coffee shoppe you're going to find in Indy. The barista made me a cortado breve that changed the fabric of reality. The grilled cheese "toasty" here is a perfect snack for study time, and yes, so is the avocado toast (at half the price of what you'd pay downtown). Tip well. Enjoy art. Talk to some chickens outside. read more

I follow Normal Coffee on Instagram but rarely get to the far south side of Indy. I knew I had to make a trip when I saw the post about the strawberry latte. What a fun concept that seemingly popped up everywhere recently. This is definitely the best take on a strawberry latte yet. The whole vibe emanating from this little window inside Tube Factory was so welcoming and cheery. I enjoyed talking to the person helping us as they wore all pink which is honestly goals. read more

This coffee shop was totally unexpected! I came to the Tube Factory for a Creative Mornings event and discovered that this coffee shop, rather coffee WINDOW, is located in this same space. The name matches the menu as they aspire to do basic drinks well and not stray from that. They therefore have plan coffee, a variety of teas, and an array of baked goods from Amelia's. If there is an event going on in this space, you wouldn't want to just stop to get coffee, but the Tube Factory is usually open to the community and free for co-working, hang-outs, etc, so it's fun to see a cute coffee spot inside. I also loved the neon pink light they have projected in the little coffee shop box behind the window and the person serving up drinks was super nice too. read more

Good coffee and great art-atmosphere! The service was friendly and quick. Free stickers! And games to play outside.

Normal Coffee is housed within The Tube Factory, and I decided to visit this space for the first time today. I enjoyed it so much that I ended up spending the whole day working here! I started off with the cheese toastie which was absolutely delicious (the honey and cheese worked so well together), and then set up for the workday. The building is spacious with plenty of seating to work at, the wifi was fast, and when I wanted to take breaks, I could go check out the art galleries and displays around the space. They even had a cute program where you could write postcards and they would mail your postcards for free to anywhere in the world. Everyone who worked there was so friendly and they even offered me a free popsicle as I was leaving! You can also come by The Tube Factory to have fun if you don't want to work - they had ping pong, giant Jenga, and checkers outside with lots of outdoor seating too (and a chicken coop!). Highly recommend stopping into Normal Coffee to check out the Tube Factory. It's so important to have community and art spaces like this in Indy! read more

Inside the Tube Factory, there is a cool new coffee shop. Basically, there is a counter area where you can order Tinker Coffee beverages and get Amelia's pastries at a fair price and be surrounded by all the cool things in the Tube Factory exhibition/art gallery space. If you've been around Indy for any time at all, you know the quality of Tinker and Amelia's. If you haven't been to the Tube Factory for an event or to just look around, bookmark it as something out of the ordinary for you to do. Inside, there is a voluminous space with lots of windows. It is quiet with lots of places to sit. If you need a break from sitting, you can check out the exhibits (free) that are on display. I stopped by and got a self serve drip coffee (immediately drinkable in a NorMal ceramic mug). Note that busing your own plates/paper is expected and is collected by the self serve coffee station. The chocolate pastry was light and flaky and really good! Outside, there are three notable pieces of public art. Totally Pencil by the Big Car Collaborative adorns the west side of this bright purple building. On the east side is Scarab by Jules Muck. On the south side (on one of the garage doors) is an oversize mural of Marguerite Young (a local novelist) by Jules Muck. There is also a dedicated parking lot and live chickens on the campus. If you still aren't convinced you want to make a trip to the near southeast side, plan to swing by neighboring Garfield Park. In particular, stop by to see the new Blake's Garden by the Conservatory. Again, it is free and is such a cool place for bringing kids to learn about growing things. Cool things are happening on South Shelby and the Garfield Park area. Check it out! Review #3059 read more

An unassuming coffee spot in the Tube Factory that not only satisfies your need for caffeine and a hot beverage but also for a creative and open space to work. As soon as you walk I noticed the amount of space and thought...yes... finally a coffee shop where I don't have to sit right next to a perfect stranger to drink my coffee. Yay! A huge brightly lite open space welcomes you with books of art and posters or things to check out if so inclined. I was also hit by the fact that you can either sit at a table or go outside to sit in cozy lounge chair, pick a book from the pending library or just chill and play a game. The coffee is delicious and the pastries/cookies are from Amelias so are fresh and almost a taste of France in Garfield Park. We sat outside and then wandered a bit browsing the space and looking at the upcoming calendar of events. I highly recommend heading here for a meeting, getting work done or just wanting time to sip a coffee in a fab spot. I will return! read more

This little coffee bar located near Garfield park is one of the nicer places in the city to grab a cup of coffee! This place is located in the Tube Factory which is slowly helping us native Hoosiers become a bit more cultured! Whether you want to sit and chat over a nice brew, meander through the art, or lock it in in the back corner like a mindless drone and get some work done this is the coffee place for you! The baristas don't care why you're there, they're just happy to see you! We've had nothing but great encounters! Parking can be hard to come by so get there early and stay there late! read more

This is the perfect spot to stop in for a great cup of coffee, a pastry, and to get some work done. Their manager Brandon made my iced americano quickly and you'd be hard pressed to find a nicer person!

WiFi is good, the space is calm and beautiful and features two full art galleries to check out that rotate frequently. read more

I went here nice and early in the morning, and Maxwell greeted us with a great attitude! He was very welcoming and the place has a nice vibe. Books to read, a beautiful outside area, interactive chickens, a pig pong table, and more! I would definitely recommend going. And coffee, 10 out of 10! read more

So here's the thing - this coffee place Is perfect for a lot of people because it's smack dab in the middle of the tube artspace and if you enjoy a wide open workspace with little to no noise and no frills cheap and authentic coffee then look no further. Unfortunately while i enjoyed the coffee I'm a total noisy workspace girl so I don't see myself working here well. However I did enjoy checking out the space and the beautiful art fixtures around the building. It is a whimsical and artistic place to find yourself when all you wanted was a cup of coffee and I appreciate that about this place. I can see myself coming back in the future to look at the art inside and out and I can definitely see this being an excellent space in which to bring bigger groups to work on things given how much seating and availability they seem to have! read more

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

Hidden gem that has a new regular! This space is part of Tubefactory Artspace. Normal Coffee is so community oriented which is my jam. It's located in the Garfield Park area. They offer a private parking lot and off street parking. The space has ample seating options from high top tables to couches and outlets. The space is relatively quiet for those wanting to work. Also the space has wonderful natural lighting during the day. They offer gender inclusive restrooms which is always a plus! The prices are super affordable and they feature Tinker Coffee & Amelia's pastries. There is nothing better than local businesses supporting one another. They offer milk alternatives including almond and oat milk. Don't forget to checkout the actual artspace while you're enjoying your coffee. **Make sure to look at their events calendar. They ended up having an event while I was there. They were super accommodating but some advance would have been helpful. read more

A great, mellow relaxing space. Got hot chocolates and assorted pastries for me and my wife. It was all delicious! It was so good I went back to the counter and bought their last two pastries. Great place to caffeinate and grab a bite. The pastries are from Amelia's Bakery, so they're amazing. Housed inside an art space with two galleries that feature rotating exhibits. read more

I recently stopped by Normal Coffee after seeing a ton of great reviews from a south side Facebook group. Living in the neighborhood, I thought it would be worth it to check it out. My neighbors were right. This place is truly a hidden gem. Normal Coffee can be found housed with in the Tube Factory Artspace at 1125 Cruft Street on Indy's Southside (Garfield Park Area). The space has tons of tables where you can truly spread out and work while enjoying Tinker coffee and Amelia's pastries. The space even has an in house library if you wanted to read while enjoying the atmosphere. Lets get to the main point here though... Coffee. Like I mentioned, the coffee comes from Indianapolis Based Tinker Coffee. There are many options to the menu as well... Latte's, Pour Overs, Cappuccino's & Tea. The most expensive drink is only $4 at it's base price.. FOUR DOLLARS! The pastries are also locally sourced from Fletcher Place based Amelia's. I love that this new coffee spot really embraces Local Businesses. Just a few blocks from the Garfield Park Redline Stop, This is the perfect place to get your morning pick me up before exploring the city. Make sure to stop in and say hi to the Mgr. Brandon Wadley. He makes a mean iced vanilla latte. read more

Brandon is wonderful and all the staff I've gotten to interact with have been so kind. If you haven't visited this Garfield Park treasure yet, I definitely recommend it! read more
