Love Provider! Amazing coffee! Price well! Baristas know there stuff! Great place to enjoy top shelf coffee and a great conversation!

I love any coffee shop, bar or restaurant that is along the Monon Trail. Provider is a glorious mix of all 3. My girlfriend and I biked here for brunch last weekend while the weather was slightly cool and the scent of fall was in the air. I had the pistachio latte- based on reviews here!- and girlfriend had drip. She had the strawberry biscuit, and I had the biscuit sandwich. Those biscuits are to die for. I could have eaten just that all day. The jalapeno jam on my sandwich was interesting; I've never had jalapeno jam before and while it was good, it did make my biscuit fall apart a bit and created a very sticky situation. The biscuit was bigger than the rest of the sandwich contents, so sometimes the filling to biscuit ratio bite was off. But it was still a dang good sandwich. I'm eager to come back at night and check out the cocktails and neon vibe. read more

I've been wanting to try Provider for awhile now and I'm glad I did! We arrived shortly after opening on a Saturday morning and they were already very busy. Our order was quickly taken and not long after that we received our drinks and then our food. I highly recommend their iced pistachio latte as it isn't overly sweet and has a wonderful and satisfying flavor. I noticed while waiting on our drinks that the syrup is weighed out on a scale. This is awesome because that means a consistent taste no matter who is making your drink! We also got their avocado toast which was a work of art. Very filling and comes with two slices. We soon realized a slice each would have been enough to fill us up but we had already purchased their sausage breakfast to split. This was also very yummy with its fluffy egg and jalapeño jelly! Overall Provider is a stunning local coffee spot that has a wonderful selection of unique drinks and food. I'll have to come back to try their long drinks! read more

was greeted and though they carry a drip coffee, they only had a dark roast available. So, in a relatively rare occurrence for me, I decided to give something else a try: A Dirty Chai. Before long, I got my drink and gratefully, was able to drink it right away without being scalded. (Yeah!) I loved the flavor of the drink though it wasn't what I was anticipating. When I was a kid, I used to come home from school and make a cup of tea with milk and would dip ginger snap cookies in it. (Hey, I was a kid....mom was glad I ate anything!) This drink reminded me of this forgotten memory and it made me feel happy. I'm not sure if that flavor is what the shop intended, but it was a great choice for me. So even though I didn't get my medium black coffee, I left with a positive experience. read more

After seeing the menu pictures online I was really excited for this place being vegan and gluten free but got here to discover they only really cater to the "mock meat" type of vegans with their breakfast sandwiches, their granola has gluten in it. Used to have avocado toast with gluten free bread option but no longer have it. They were out of matcha powder on a Saturday morning. I ordered a golden milk which turned out to be like 1/4 cup of syrup, steamed milk, and hibiscus powder does not taste like tumeric or ginger at all tastes more like hot left over milk from your morning fruit loops cereal which is cool if that's the vibe you're looking for. read more

Simply put, this is my favorite coffee in Indy. The house-made syrups compliment the high-quality espresso in a delicate balance.

While pricey, the coffee is remarkable and everything is made with care. Because I know some of the baristas, this place holds a special place in my heart. Internet is not great if you're planning to work for a bit, but I kind of love that - keeps the space conversational. The patio outdoors is absolutely wonderful. Get the vegan breakfast sandwich. The pepper jelly will change your life!! (And always a croissant.) read more

I went on a Friday morning to get some work done and enjoy a cup a coffee. I'll start with the good- aesthetically this place is amazing. The weather was nice so there was an inside-out concept. I had a latte with was by far the best in town. The menu is small but mighty. There is ample seating inside and outside with free WiFi for those working. Here are the areas for improvement. The music was strangely too loud- I felt like people were yelling over the music and if your studying it may be a distraction. Also I'm happy they offer milk alternatives but disappointed they charge extra. Lastly I wish they had more outlets for those working inside. read more

Great place, sophisticated, but seating is very minimal. Coat Check Coffee is Provider's sister shop, so the menu is the same and equally delicious! I visit here 2-4 times a week. They brew Tinker Coffee which is good quality! read more

I love Provider! It's a great coffee spot with a more modern, upscale vibe. Great place to go alone and get work done, or to meet with a couple of friends. Prices are high compared to most coffee shops in Indy, so I'm not a regular but every experience there has been good: service, pastries, drinks, vibe, etc. is all on point. read more

PROVIDER is a lovely addition to the coffee shops in Indy, but is set apart from the others! Incredible coffee and drinks served in a relaxed and open atmosphere with low key music playing in the background. Natural light floods the area and the exposed brick and abundance of plants in the space makes it perfect. My favorite part about the location is that they have a glass garage door that opens to the outside and it's open during nice weather! They also added outside seating and a bike rack, which is great in the warmer months since they are located just off the Monon Trail. Great space to study, meet with friends, or just come and relax. Welcoming and charismatic staff, plenty of seating, and free parking. Outlets are located by most tables and there is free WiFi available. You must try the Dark Chocolate latte! Cashew milk for their lattes is made in house and is wonderful. They also have boozy options and are open at night - fantastic place to come and grab a drink! PROVIDER also offers croissants (almond, chocolate, and classic) that are to die for. Cookies and other options (hello, pumpkin donuts) are also sometimes available. They have also added heartier foods onto the menu, including salads, sandwiches, quiche, and more. read more

If you ever get tired of going to the same old Starbucks, Provider is the place to be. They have a small but quaint environment, serving coffee AND cocktails! My absolute favorite is the pistachio latte, I love the bartending practices that they've transferred into their barista production by rubbing a lemon along the sides of the cup, it truly makes it an otherworldly coffee experience. I've yet to try their cocktails but the flavors are so unique and full of interesting combinations. They have a no laptop policy certain times of the week which makes it a great place to catch up with friends. Their food is also super tasty! Provider really takes the time to care about the quality and uniqueness of their ingredients and drinks and this truly shows. I'm excited to visit in the summer when the patio is open! read more

A cozy coffee shop great place to study or read while enjoying delicious coffee. I had a butterscotch latte and it was good without being overly sweet. The pastries all look delicious and I would go back to try one especially when it's warm again to sit on their patio! It's ok the back side of the building with plenty of parking. read more

Such a great space to work from if you like the buzz of people on their laptops and a solid mix of music on in the background -- a nice spot to spend the day. When we were there, they had a playlist of throwback punk rock songs and I was pretty into it. I loved the vibe of the space too! Lots of windows for natural light, strong coffee, superb croissants, and good wifi. There are some plug spots available along the middle bar and along the wall. They were in high demand and the place was busy so we had to rotate to recharge. FYI - entrance to the space is in the back of the building, not visible on the street. There was a lot to park in too. read more

It's Monday night and we were meeting a friend out for a cocktail in the hood. Turns out the place we agreed to meet another was closed. Well hopped on Yelp and looked for a well reviewed place nearby. Found it! We were not disappointed. It was a love night to be able to sit outside. So we were looking for something where we could enjoy the weather and have a nice conversation. The patio at Provider was perfect. There was not an empty table there, but it was outside so sound wasn't an issue. Had a great conversation and enjoyed the night. The cocktails were delish. We enjoyed a trio our group. I really enjoyed the rhizome mule. The ginger was a spicy and a flavor I really enjoyed. The negroni our group had also a delight. The final cocktail the old fashioned. These last two are classic cocktails and they did not disappoint here at Provider! I didn't enjoy ordering at the bar and would have appreciated staff service, but really not a big issue. Head to this place and have a nice outdoor evening! read more

Update: this is no longer a suitable study spot. They have imposed laptop-free hours on the weekends daily until 3pm. Last weekend there was a group of six or eight of us studying (separately but made friends) who were asked to leave after only a couple of hours. I know I spent at least $40 during that time and one of my friends was currently eating when he asked her to go. I also bring at least one new person a month there that has never heard of coat check or provider before. Unfortunate turn of events for my former favorite study spot. It would be great if they were able to expand either on the first floor or upstairs for more room. They're one of the only coffee shops that is open late and they make the best food/drinks but I don't want to go somewhere where they make people feel unwelcome. read more

Walking inside I was welcomed by a spirited atmosphere with a packed house enjoying coffee, cocktails and delicious bites! I enjoyed an amazing vegetarian biscuit sandwhich packed full of flavor accented by their house made sauce! Their Tinker coffee is always delicious brewed with precision and always better with Mezcal! read more

The most over rated coffee shop inside the 465. First, the prices are outrageous. They brew the same coffee and pull the same shots from the same roaster as 5 other places within a mile of one another, yet charge $2 more. I ordered a latte a couple weeks ago and the "barista" just dumped the steamed milk in the cup and handed it to me. Not the kind of care I would expect for an $8.50 drink. Second, the staff is generally unfriendly and cold - the standoffish vibe of the staff permeates the entire coffee shop as no one ever looks happy in this place (probably because they just saw the final bill) and the cramped environment puts everyone on edge. The one thing it has going for it is the location, but my wife and I would rather walk another 4 blocks to be met with a smile. read more

Provider is my go to coffee shop, and it's not just because I live within walking distance! Their speciality lattes may not be everyone's taste, but if you're looking for something unique they definitely have it. Their patio is unmatched in this area, and their location just off the Monon is super convenient. You will pay a higher price than most other shops in the area, but it's because they've gone to a no-tipping model in order to pay their employees more, which I really love. It's the best coffee with the best atmosphere, I can't recommend it enough read more

Great coffee, great staff and awesome venue! I think it's a hidden gem for sure. The outside patio had plenty of shaded seating as well as sunny spots. The inside had plenty of table seating both high and low top. Most of the customers were either working/studying on their laptops individually while other small groups were chatting without being too loud or too quiet. The music overhead allowed for a relaxed vibe if you just wanted to sit and enjoy your beverage. Hubby said they served a good cup of self-serve java (Tinker Coffee Roasters) with refills and I had one of the best vanilla lattes I've ever had the pleasure of drinking. Not too sweet and no bitterness at all. Very nicely balanced. Will definitely return again! Looks like dogs are welcome on the outside patio as well. read more

This unique little coffee shop is a hidden gem in the Old Northside neighborhood! Check it out - each of their lattes taste like it's crafted just for you (which it is!). Not to mention that they offer this space for weddings/cocktail hours when it's closed on Saturdays. It is such a fun place to chill out and has a natural vibe where it's very relaxed. Try their golden milk latte if you like Chai tea! read more

Talk about coffee shop GOALS! This place is the most hip coffee shop in downtown Indy. It has great coffee and non coffee drinks, pastries and even beer, wine and cocktails for later in the day. It's a must try if you're in the area. Friendly staff, dog friendly patio, and overall great ambiance. read more

Such a cool place! I love that it's a setting for both working solo on your laptop as well as hanging out with a smaller group. I go in the summer/spring where I can sit outside on the large patio. One time I didn't know what I wanted to eat and the server asked what I was in the mood for and made me something that wasn't on the menu. The servers at Provider are super creative and I like the venue all around. read more

I literally come here at least 3 times a week. Don't question it. Just go. (The Ginger Latte is a must.) read more

Great coffee and cool atmosphere! Definitely busy in the morning. I went around 10am and it was pretty crowded inside but there is plenty of outdoor seating. Morning rush started to die down around noon. I go to their sister location (coat check coffee) almost daily but thought I'd give Provider a shot and it did not disappoint! Will definitely be going regularly read more

My favorite new coffee shop. I'm a regular and they know me by name. My favorite is the ginger latte with Oat milk. Ask for Ross if you stop by in the morning and he will ensure a BOMB experience! P.S. the chocolate chip cookies are a game changer! read more

Provider is one of my favorite spots in Indy. Their coffee is fantastic and they always have interesting lattes. They always have vegan options for food as well. The vibe here is my favorite, from their outdoor patio to all the plants inside. Conveniently located off the Monon. read more

This place is more expensive than a coffee shop in a larger city with Actual Good Coffee. They changed their breakfast sandwich to using gross processed egg-cakes but have yet to decrease the price. I usually end up spending over $20 dollars every time I'm here, and the "rewards system" isn't so rewarding. The music is also god-awful and typically at a level too high to work on anything if that's what you're there to do. Go to Commissary or Rabble Coffee instead. read more

Whether you are looking for a trendy brunch spot with fun cocktails on a Sunday morning or a space to drink coffee and work on your laptop, Provider is the place for you! They are located just below The Tinker House events which is a giant warehouse that you can't miss. They have plenty of parking and right off the Monon Trail if you are looking for a spot to stop on your bike ride or run. The space itself is very trendy with an atmosphere that reminds of coffee shops you would find in Brooklyn, NY. They have a very limited food menu but it sounds like it changes quite a bit. It is open communal seating with some 2 top tables if you want a more private space. When you walk in, you order your food and drinks at the counter and then they call your name when it is ready. I ended up getting the Greek Salad with a rose spritz and my boyfriend got the turkey panini with iced matcha latte. Because it was so hot, we sat inside even though their outdoor space is massive. I would love to go back later in the day for happy hour to see how the vibe changes but I loved everything about this place. One thing to note, on the weekends they do have a sign that says when their area is laptop free or not I am assuming because they don't want people to squat there all day when they are busy. Can't wait to come back to experience more! read more

Absolutely delicious. I had the signature latte, iced, ginger. Freaking delicious! Tad bit expensive but I'd go again, and again, and again. Also the customers seem super courteous. No one was talking to loudly. And it's dog friendly! read more

Provider has been a favorite since the first day a walked in. A mix of wood and industrial decor brings a very unique feel. Their chocolate croissants are amazing and perfect for sharing. It was the perfect pairing for my latte. read more

What a find this morning! Have worked in the area for several years, but don't venture around much, but so glad I was searching yelp for business meeting locations and found Provider. Met Ross behind the counter and he was very welcoming and made suggestions for my first beverage, which was an espresso shot with a sidecar of ginger beer topped with lime & hibiscus. The fresh from the oven biscuit aroma was tempting but opted for the granola/oat milk combo this time. Relaxed comfortable atmosphere with large windows for lots of natural sunlight - which was a delight. Will definitely have my upcoming business meeting here and be back to try other menu items (beer&wine) while working remotely. read more

Provider is one of my favorite places to get a good latte. Provider has a variation of coffees and kombucha on draft. It has a very chill environment and was a great place to catch up with friends. Though the coffee is great, there isn't a whole lot of seating and after about 4pm, the lights switch to a dimmer setting. Great for aesthetic, but hard to get a lot of work done in! Overall a great experience! read more

Awesome food and delicious drinks. We had the butter croissant chocolate croissants and cranberry muffin. Forgot to take a picture but they were so delicious! Good amount of seating. Lots of parking and free laptop WiFi on Saturday and Sunday ( there is a time period/limit ). Will come back if I'm in the area ! read more

Provider is an excellent establishment. It's such a well-loved place that I might even venture to say it's popularity has grown more than the location and staff are equipped to handle. Don't get me wrong, I don't have any complaints about staff performance; it's clear that every employee is doing their best to meet customer needs in a timely manner. I have no complaints about the service, I could not applaud the workers more. What I'm saying is that Provider brings an aesthetic and atmosphere that's unique in Indianapolis, there's few comparable establishments. Due to this it brings in a crowd on any given day! I can only imagine the success if the business were to expand! read more

Slow service, strange atmosphere, even stranger patrons (I guess it's considered hipster). Seems like a place people go to work, drink coffee and look "cool." Missed the mark for me but if you're into that sort of thing... give it a go. Oh, if you have a modern credit/debit card with a chip (don't bother). Cash or swipe only, taking it back to 2015! read more

By the owners of Coat Check Coffee on Mass Ave, this is one of my favorite coffee shops in Indy! I could come here every day. My go-to is an iced butterscotch latte but they have amazing cocktails as well. They have circle city kombucha on tap, locally sourced food, and they use Tinker coffee which is the best! The staff are always friendly and helpful. You can tell they really care about coffee and making their drinks right. They recently transitioned to being a laptop free zone on Saturdays and Sundays from 9-3 which seems to have helped with availability of seats. This is a great place to run, walk, or bike to if you live near the Monon. It has a huge patio space so would be fun to come with a group. Or you can hangout out there with your dog and a great coffee. You cannot bring your dog inside. For the lactose intolerant and vegans among us, they offer oat milk for a $0.50 up charge or cashew milk for $1.50. The cashew milk is very good! All food is fresh and locally sourced so they do sometimes run out of certain things. Like the biscuit sandwiches. The biscuits and jam are delicious, the French toasted biscuit was very good, as was the bacon and cheddar quiche. Add provider to your list of places to go! You will be glad you did! read more

Morning: Excellent coffee. Friendly staff. Fast WiFi. Plentiful outlets. Varied/tasteful music. Tasty pastries/breakfast options. Lunch/Evening: fantastic cocktails. Nice, but limited lunch options. Occasional live music. Such a great addition to the neighborhood. The baristas' vibe/personalities really make the place. Ross especially. read more

Provider is such a fun and trendy space and the menu have awesome, unique drink and food options! If you like Chai Tea whatsoever get the Golden Milk (amazing with oat milk), it is bursting with flavor and the ginger makes it so delicious because it adds the perfect amount of spice.

The baristas are very kind and were helpful with drink suggestions as well. You will absolutely love this place, don't miss out on this amazing Indy find! read more
