    Almond milk latte with housemade salted caramel bourbon syrup.
    Aaron M.

    Quills is a picture-perfect example of a city coffee shop: 2 walls of windows, excellent color scheme, always has patrons, and the coffee is delicious. Even when there is a line (which there wasn't on a Sunday afternoon), it's hard to feel rushed or impatient because it's such an inviting space.

    It's been awhile since I've been back here and it felt great to return. I missed the bright lighting, friendly staff, and tasty coffee. I've never had a bad experience here. Thanks Quills!

    Large coffee shop that sources and brews their own beans. There is plenty of seating and workspace for coffee meetings or a work away from home day. I had the Woodsman, which is a latte with brown sugar and cinnamon. I had it iced with oatmilk. It was your typical iced latte.

    When a coffee shop roasts and wholesales their beans, you know they are legit. Quills came highly recommended. I ordered a decaf americano. Great flavour and aftertaste. Cool simple, minimalist interior. I can see why it's a popular downtown Indy coffee spot.

    Always love a visit to Quills! Definitely one of my favorite spots in Indy. The coffee is always expertly crafted.

    Posting another review for an honorable mention; the Sundae Morning!!! It's a seasonal drink on their spring menu so get it while you can. I believe it's their signature cold brew + strawberry milk and it is absolutely DIVINE. Tastes like a chocolate covered strawberry. I've been exploring a lot more coffee shops around Indy this past year and the quality and taste at Quills is still #1

    Tall black Coffee!
    John R.

    Great coffee without a doubt! Usually very friendly but had one guy take my order without saying a word. I usually just get the tall black coffee which costs almost $5. Not cheap! It has a bit of a sour taste but I like it. They also have various pastries if you want a snack. Great downtown location near the Central Library.

    I was in town for work and needed a nice coffee shop to pop in, grab a quick pick me up, and get a bit of work done. I've been to a Quills in Louisville, so when I discovered on Yelp that there was one close to my hotel, I didn't hesitate to make my way there. I loved that the place has a ton of natural light, a great variety of seating options, the staff was friendly, my latte was delicious, and the croissant I got was perfect. They also had strong wifi, plenty of places to plug my laptop in, and let me tell you... this coffee shop is big with a ton of space which was another thing I really enjoyed about it. They definitely passed the vibe check for me and I would totally come back.

    Love quills! They have great coffee and pasties. Parking is street parking (free on Sunday) and I never have a problem finding a spot. The shop is spacious and has huge windows that make the space look so open and clean. Love it!

    Ham and swiss croissant was yummy!! Filling!

    I like Quills, it's open and modern and very conveniently located on Meridian right before the heart of the city. My favorite seat is at any of the barstools lining the shop, facing the outside. Personally, I have always preferred a cozier, comfier coffee atmosphere so this one is a bit too simple for my taste... which is why I may lean towards other spots in the city. The menu is also a bit limited, and expensive, so feel like I haven't had a nice warm experience necessarily. However, I always get a lot done, and get a good kick of caffeine no doubt. It's near the library which is a bonus.

    Quills is a really interesting place for me. First off, their newest location is stunning! So much light coming in through the windows and tons of seating options. It's an ideal page to study/ read as it is always quiet. I think their coffee is some of them best in Indy and their seasonal menus are always my favorite. Their fall menu in particular is incredible! The latte choices are so yummy and I'm never disappointed with their product. That being said, their staff are always super dry and unwelcoming. Never any greeting or smile, I order my drink, then they turn around and start making it before I even get my card out to pay. I don't expect small talk but maybe a "Hey there! What can I get you" or "We'll have that ready for you at the bar" would be nice. It's definitely not a one time thing either because it's always been my experience here. It won't stop me from coming cuz I love their coffee but it's definitely a place to come and get work done, not socialize or chat with the baristas.

    Definitely a great and spacious place to work and relax in the middle of downtown. Street Parking was a breeze early morning and I enjoyed my Americano which was absolutely the way I liked it. It was pretty quiet from 7-9 and then started filling in really quickly. Quills has an array of spring flavored coffees, baked goods such as muffins and cookies and a variety of coffee beans and apparel to choose from. The glass panes gives an open vibe and the contemporary furniture gives a very casual and comfortable feel. Quills is dog friendly so overall great place to work out of,

    Does quill's validate garage parking?

    Yes they do as long as you order something from them.

    Is this place pet friendly? I think I've seen a dog or two in there, but wasn't sure if it was restricted to service animals.

    Definitely pet friendly. We bring our lab with us whenever we go. They have a water bowl for dogs up near the coffee bar.

Both had no flavor and tasted like sweetened iced coffee with cream. There was zero flavor distinction between the two. I love supporting local but if I'm paying 16 dollars for two 16oz drinks I expect it to taste like something more than a regular iced coffee. The staff weren't rude but they also weren't friendly. I will say that it does look nice inside and seems to have a good amount of seating with artwork and natural lighting that adds to the atmosphere. Perhaps it was an off day but I'm not sure I'm willing to spend that kind of money only to be disappointed again.

It wasn't too loud but there were a lot of students/remote workers in the sitting areas. They have two different areas to sit just in case the front area is full. I like how they have lounge chairs, long tables and single, two seating tables to welcome small conference like gathers or an individual meeting setting. They also have a large conference room in the back that looked like it was for larger, private meetings ( I didn't ask if you would need to book a time or reserve that space or not, but it wouldn't hurt to ask!). My daughter had the matcha latte and I had the honeycomb espresso latte. Both were really good. I liked that they ask if you would like sweetener in the matcha latte and that they have a couple of different options, my daughter chose the vanilla flavor. We both ordered ours hot and they both came with beautiful latte art. I like that they have a community chalkboard in the back, that is open for customers to post local community events, motivational/ inspirational quotes, and other helpful information and tips. They have one restroom but it is very big. Parking is located in the back and is free but with the other sounding businesses it seems like it could fill up fast depending on the time and day.

It can be quite loud so keep that in mind if you want a quieter reflection time, and maybe take it to go or sit outside. They have various food items but I absolutely LOVE their peanut butter energy balls! In fact that is why I came to this location as this is where the magic happens. They make them here and send them to other Tinker locations! They are the perfect blend of savory and a tad sweet and go super well with their coffee and/or London Fog tea. Yum! I will freely admit to buying all they had on hand, and now can enjoy them at home. Yay! It is a very busy spot so not the friendliest of staff, but assumed they were already hassled from the morning. It was a great spot to meet a friend and enjoy the patio and some tea/coffee. I would for sure go back and even bring a friend! In fact I've already mentioned it to several people as a potential meet up spot! Definitely something to enjoy!

Cynthia helped me and after I told her it was my first visit, she shared a little about the business. They roast their own coffee beans on Mondays and Tuesdays, which is why they're only open Wednesday through Sunday. There is parking on both sides of the building, but there aren't many spaces. Thankfully, there's also free street parking nearby. Inside, they have an ample amount of seating if you want to enjoy your drink there, along with two restrooms. The space has a clean, neutral vibe with live plants that makes it a relaxing place to hang out. I love the plants, makes for a refreshing energy. I ordered a latte with oat milk and vanilla bean syrup. Cynthia mentioned that all of their syrups are made in house, which made the drink feel even more special.
