This near east side coffeehouse is almost hidden and if you weren't looking for it, you just might miss it! They have really limited street parking as well as a few spots behind the store that the barista assured me were for Rabble customers. Very much a spot that the locals are frequenting but with welcoming and progressive vibes. I asked for a dirty chai and it was warm, slightly spicy and the coffee shot tasted smooth and complimented the tea flavors nicely. They have some other really interesting non-coffee drinks on the menu too, so I'm definitely going to have to go back. Especially since I noticed Dear Mom is right next door! Cool murals in the adjacent alley, so make sure to see those if you like street art. read more

Mitchell, Caro, and the Rabble team are some of the kindest people you'll meet. The menu here is simple, intentional, and well done. Cafe environment is so full of love, people seem comfortable with not just the staff but other each other. I see customers recognizing each other and catching up on life in line and I rarely feel those human connections in places these days. That's the kind of warm environment Rabble has created. read more

I had not been in for a minute and had some time to spare; I decided to stop in and get a tasty plum spritz because I was not in the mood for coffee, it was refreshing and delicious!

Grabbed a quick and inexpensive cup of black coffee from a spot that felt like a gathering place for artists, revolutionaries, and dreamers. The kind of place where the walls probably have stories and the regulars know each other's names. When I visit a new coffee shop, I always start with a plain black drip. It is the baseline test for quality. This one passed with flying colors. Rich, flavorful, and perfectly made. No frills, just excellent coffee. I was in and out in under a minute, cup in hand, and then zipped off to GenCon. A perfect little detour. read more

Rabble Coffee - Hot Brewed Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Today it's 18 degrees outside & I decided to go for a coffee at a new coffee shop...and I came across this sweet place. Mitch & Emery were very welcoming & helped me decide the best drink to order on this cold day. It's a small, comfortable, boho style coffee shop. They have local art work displayed & comfortable couches you can sit at. There's space in the back you can sit as well. The Carmel Latte was great! Emery added a special touch & did beautiful latte art on top. The music wasn't very loud, relaxing but different than your typical jazz music. Parking is located on the street and there's also parking located in the back that's free as well. read more

Grabbed a to go latte on my way to work this morning. Quick and friendly service, delicious coffee. Cozy, artsy, grungy vibes. Reminded me of one of my fav spots in Brooklyn. If you go at the right time you can also pop into similarly NYC-ish Dear Mom. read more

Saturdays call for a nice stroll around the neighborhood when it's nice out. I was desperately in need for coffee and had been wanting to try here. I'm delayed on this review so I don't remember my exact drink but I was not extremely impressed. It lacked flavor (I'm pretty sure I did a Carmel or lavender situation) which was disappointing. It's cute on the inside and nice for an intimate outing for coffee. I get it. I support local businesses. Just wasn't a top contender for me. I would visit again to give another try. read more

Rabble is such a gem of the Near East Side. This unsuspecting coffee spot serves up delicious coffee drinks, great burritos, lovely service, and a second place for the community to gather. The vibe is vintage acclectic and thoughtful. There's a variety of seating for everyone and you welcome to spend the whole day working, reading, etc. The have rotating local artists on showcase and often host pop ups with other businesses. We often grab a burrito, pastry, and lattes. All delicious. ​ read more

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

Incredible staff and incredible coffee. A staple for the neighborhood! Great to hang or grab and go.

Every year, as July approaches, we get more and more excited about the return of Rabble's "Root Down" monthly drink special. We blast the Beastie Boys "Root Down" in anticipation, on the drive there, and leave the coffee shop, double-fisting some drinks. The Root Down is my favorite local espresso drink ever; homemade not-too-sweet root beer-y herbal syrup, espresso, seltzer, and a lil splash of cream. It's like the complex root beer float of your caffeinated star-anise-loving adult dreams. The fact that it is limited to one (1) month a year seems cruel, but also makes the anticipation of its arrival that much sweeter. Visit Rabble and maybe you'll find your own Root Down to obsess over. The employees are always welcoming and understanding of why two (2) people think ordering a gallon of Root Down is "normal". In the bathroom, the walls are shellacked with official investigations of local "rabble" and so-called instigators, that is fascinating to skim over while you accomplish your business. Rabble often has a small free food display for those in need of a free, no-questions-asked snack or produce, and it also showcases local art for sale. There is a small parking lot in the back, that typically has free space, if you are averse to street parking. If you visit in July, order a Root Down...at least once, but don't overdo it...please don't contribute to a Root Down scarcity (that's my job). read more

Rabble Coffee - Root Down monthly special; we wait all year for this...espresso, soda, root beer syrup & a lil cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

The staff here is so kind and they have the best chai latte I've found to date. Highly recommend!

This place is a great coffee shop in what otherwise seems to be a coffee shop desert! It is homey and rustic on the inside, with a nice menu and seasonal drinks! They have enough seating it seems and even a back room! They have a really nice bookshelf or books and games for while you sit and sip. I was able to find free street park literally right outside on a Sunday morning. Their prices were reasonable, and their drinks were well crafted! I got an iced tea and my friend got their seasonal latte and said it was very good! read more

The service is always very friendly. The atmosphere is very relaxed. They do sell good coffee, but it's the locals who come in that sell the shop. Home run! read more

I was visiting here from Alger, OH with some local friends from the area who swore by this place. Making mention of a summer drink called the Lawnmower that sounded divine (lavender matcha). But today I had a hot chai with a shot of caramel in it and much to my surprise, this was one of the best chais I've had within the last 6 months! read more

Great quality espresso. Friendly barista behind the bar. I'm not sure what else people want in a coffee shoppe. The new creations they update every few months are delicious The Blue Velvet may be the best one yet. read more

This officially ranks as my favorite coffee shop in Indy. I cannot stop thinking about their seasonal lattes! They have a new seasonal latte on the 5th of every month. Which is so smart, because it continuously keeps me coming back for more! Currently, their perssimonal spice latte brings so much flavor and warmth as the days get colder. I definitely recommend giving it a try. They also carry a handful of local pastries, cookies, and bfast/lunch burritos. Their inside is colorful and displays all kinds of local art. They also have ample amount of seating/tables in the back to work from or study from. I can't wait to come back and work from here. Don't miss out on this special coffee shop!!!! read more

wow i cannot believe i am just writing this review. i have been going to rabble for a little over three years and it is my favorite coffee spot in indy. it's on east 10th street and not too far from the woodruff neighborhood. every time i enter rabble i am greeted by mitchell. he has information on the artists that are being showcased and always offer great suggestions. one of my visits michaela suggested the clove miel and i was hooked. i have not strayed from a clove miel with oat milk since it was suggested. i go to rabble when i am working remotely because they have a great setup for a laptop and single seating. they have free wifi and outlets on the back wall for use. on a saturday morning you might be hard pressed to find seating but a wednesday at 10 am you should be good to sit wherever read more

Quaint little coffee shop on the Near Eastside of Indy. They were comfortably busy when I went, so there was a smidge of a wait for my Chai Latte, but it was so worth it. Might not be the biggest place, but the quaintness is what gives Rabble a unique vibe. Definitely putting this in my coffee shop rotation. read more

I'm a sucker for a cute coffee shop with that original feel (the couch's and books available to read) and quality coffee. There are so many cool spots to hang out in here. There's also local juices sold. I got the Clove Meil with almond milk and a vanilla latte. I can't believe I'm just trying this place out. Bold flavors, not too sweet (the clove meil is a honey syrup) with a soft nutty taste. But these chocolate croissants THOUGH!!! So soft, fresh. I'm so glad I stopped by. read more

Best latte in Indianapolis- hands down. They know what they are doing and it's remarkable how much better their espresso taste! Go here

A really lovely vibe and atmosphere. I think the owner was work and despite it being busy he just has a really calm and welcoming disposition. I got an iced oatmilk latte and it was delicious. They also have some delicious looking baked goods available though I didn't partake in one. Great coffee/tea offerings and breakfast burritos available if you're looking for something a bit hardier. Lots of seating if you wanted to hang out and work, plus free parking available nearby. read more

I've been to Rabble Coffee a few times and my favorite part is the community atmosphere here! It makes me smile to see so many people saying hi to each other, catching up, and enjoying the great drinks here. The baristas are always so friendly, and I appreciate their quick service and good conversation. Solid wifi too! Would recommend to do some work during the day or to get a good coffee - the breakfast burritos are also great! read more

Rabble Coffee - Latte on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This spot is cozy, eclectic and female-owned! Three wins in my book. It's located in an area that was once bordering on a food dessert and now really serves the community by welcoming all inside its doors. I love coming in and seeing a variety of people hanging out within its doors. There is a front and back room, both scattered with small tables. There's reliable WiFi and the also seats that are more conducive to conversation. I'm a tea person, so I got a mug of hot tea in one of their assorted personal mug collection, as well as a big piece of delicious quiche. Both were great and were ready super quickly! This spot makes you feel creative and also has quite an array of coffee drinks, baked goods and more as well. Definitely go support them! read more

This is a great coffee shop with plenty of seating. Not too loud, so you can easily enjoy conversation with friends or the ability to get some work done. I enjoyed a latte and the service was friendly. They also had a display of pastries that looked amazing, unfortunately I had already ate breakfast. There is also street parking which is very convenient. read more

Food slaps every time. I literally cannot think of a better coffee shop. And I think I'm still not giving it enough credit. Coffee syrups are homemade and I don't think there's a coffee shop that can get me through a work day quite like Rabble can. Try their monthly specialty latte. It's too good. It feels very homey inside and they have a cute picnic table in the back. The baristas are so welcoming and remember customers. Thanks Mitchel and Caro! read more

Iced Vanilla latte was great! One of the best I have ever had. Employees were very kind and welcoming. It is also good for doing work as the establishment has lots of space and solid WIFI! read more

The dream of the 90s is alive at Rabble. I think in my younger days, I would have adored this place. The vibe screams Gen X cool. Damn the Man--Save the Empire! (If you don't get that reference, this might not be your digs.) Functionally, it didn't quite live up to what I needed. There was no obviously available public WiFi. There was an open network labelled "Whopper", but I was unclear on if this was being provided by Rabble or just someone with an open phishing connection. After asking if they had almond milk and receiving a sort of acknowledgement from the barista, I ordered an almond milk latte. He asked about size. I was kind of hoping this place would lack sizes and provide one-size-fits-all "to stay" proper cups like other hipster coffee shops. Instead they have your stereotypical to go coffee cups. I said Medium. I was assuming medium would translate to the standard 16 oz size. Nope. Medium here is 12 oz. That was a little off-putting. Why not go with standard sizes? I liked the atmosphere and it's in an interesting location near Mass Ave. But I struggle to recommend it as my new favorite coffee joint. PS. There was a fountain running really loud! Louder than the music. If you're misophonic, this one will hit you right in the "Oh God, stop chomping that gum!" spot of your migraines. read more

This under the radar coffee shop is worth a visit! I knew about it for much much longer before I ever tried it - longer than I'd like to admit being an coffee aficionado and fan of Indy's coffee scene. I love trying new things and based on following them much more closely for the last 6 months or so it seems they have monthly-ish specialty lattes that are always fun, and then they have the normal stuff, a couple syrups (Vanilla and Caramel I think) to sweeten up your latte or Cappuccino - but I think it's perfect with nothing else. When I do venture to try the specialties they can be quite different so I love challenging my palate, but they always have Mocha and Clove Miel. They have great pastries...which is par for the course on a decent coffee shop, but also they source Love Handle Burritos in the morning, and that makes all the difference. I love me a pastry but I need to start my day with something more substantial and the Love Handle Burritos more than hit the spot. They have a selection of coffees, teas and bottled beverages available for purchase to take home and brew. Their menu is simple but I think it allows them to make each and every item high quality! They have some feel good vibes too...a little stand with food to support those needing food in the community and you can drop of shelf stable individually packaged snacks to share. Nice to start your day with good vibes and great coffee... read more

I always have a great time at Rabble! The seasonal lattes are enough to keep it interesting when my usual doesn't sound appetizing. Currently, they have a wonderfully balanced and nutty chestnut latte aptly named "Dee's Nuts". They also carry a non-coffee seasonal drink for those that prefer tea! The pastries are always fresh and are so good warmed! The service is kind and fast, with extremely pleasant and informative baristas behind the bar. I am always greeted immediately and am asked if there are any questions about the days pastries or the seasonal drinks. Sustainable options are available for dining in like reusable cutlery as well as plates and mugs. There are multiple different seating options no matter what size your group is, or if you are there by yourself! The decor is eye-catching with a little mid-century modern charm. There is always local art available for purchase with artists rotating about every month. Rabble is a lovely little east side gem! Make sure to stop in if you are ever in the area! read more

I had yet to return to Rabble since ownership changed, and I don't know why! As we waiting in line, it was amazing to watch the owner know patrons by name and their orders. Talk about customer service! I decided on the Clove Miel, because it was featured in an article about local coffee shops in Indianapolis Monthly. Wow -so delicious! It had a nice earthy taste mixed with a hint of sweet. Perfect blend! My husband selected his usual Americano. Seating was spaced out in order to practice social distancing. We sat in the back room and no one else even came into that area. Rabble will definitely be placed back in our rotation for morning coffee! read more

Their always-available drip coffee is Indianapolis's own Tinker Coffee. So if you're looking for a cup of good, local coffee, Rabble is one of the places to find it. I love the coffee here, but I think I love the aesthetics of the coffee shop a little more. If you walk to the back of the shop, there is a seating area where you can sit among pieces of local art, twinkle lights and a menagerie of vintage concert posters and odd knickknacks. I'm much more of a minimalist now, but this area of the coffee shop reminds me of a time when I was younger and liked to surround my living spaces with collages, assemblages and random bits of city junk. It's a funky little spot in which to sit, drink coffee and reminisce about a time when art and music played an important part of my life. Speaking of art: Rabble owns the space next door to the coffee shop, so they will sometimes use that area to put on events, such as poetry readings and art exhibits. The owner seems super involved and committed to the community. The day that I visited, she had welcomed a local school into the shop to set up a table, and they were selling baked goods. I love this sort of grassroots community involvement, and it's nice to see a local coffee shop doing such a thing. read more

This place is a east side go to. Inside is a super laid back atmosphere and the staff is always friendly and helpful. There are various coffee and tea options to choose from.

We love supporting local on the near East side and Rabble is no exception! In fact, they themselves support local with their selection of juices from 317juicery, coffee from Circadian Coffee, and selection of pastries and desserts from local pastry chef and home baker Jordan Justice (@jajusticebakes)! Rabble is under new ownership and we could not be happier to have them back in the neighborhood after a brief closure. Their coffee and drinks are delicious and they have free parking available out back or out front! Stop by and show some love!!! read more

Finally made it back in since ownership changed and they reopened. A great experience!! I got a clove miel after hearing raves about it, and it did not disappoint.

Looking forward to coming back for more vegan treats and tasty lattes. read more
