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.

Hot Brewed Coffee

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.

This is one of Indy's gems. Their creations are nothing short of art. The love and attention to detail that go into what they produce should not go unnoticed. Try whatever sounds good because you won't be disappointed.

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. ​

Root Down monthly special; we wait all year for this...espresso, soda, root beer syrup & a lil cream
Sara P.

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).

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.

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!!!!

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

Ambiance

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.

Such an Indy staple! How could you possibly go wrong with delicious pastries?! I love a pastry…read moreweekend where I see what fun pastries they have, order a bunch, and then roam their grocery section for yummy premade dips, bread, and other local produce and products. The pastries change frequently; though, they always have their staples, and it makes it so fun to go! The multiple locations make it easy to stop by or order ahead for pickup from anywhere in the city. This weekend we got a strawberry guava quesito; blueberry, fig jam, and brie pastry; and a vanilla cheese danish. Literally all incredible! I've never had anything bad. These are some talented pastry chefs! Each location has its own cute vibe and are all so perfect for the area they are in. A must try!

There's not much I can have at Amelia's as I'm gluten free and dairy free by necessity. But I had a…read moredelightful canned ginger soda here while my mini BFF enjoyed a chocolate buckwheat cookie. The cookies are that big, bakery size and all the options looked delicious! As did the pile of cinnamon rolls in the case! We sat out on the front patio, which was lovely. It was busy, so we were lucky to snag a table! If I'm in the area, I'd maybe stop by for another drink, but if they'd add a gf/df baked good--they DID have a gluten free option in the same case with everything else--I'd be back faster.
