Nowadays it's rare to find a cozy study spot like this. Most big chain cafes are built with uncomfy hard seats, but Red Door has a bunch of cozy sofas and seating areas to get work done all day. I wish they had more food options/bigger portions but I understand. It looks like theres an attached wedding venue and the building is a bit of a revamped church which is a really cool vibe.
This place is so cute! Reminded me of some coffee shops I've been to in Europe. Very tiny. It lots of charm. Service could have been more friendly. We felt like we were bothering them by ordering. But drinks came out quickly and we were on our way! Drinks were pretty standard. If we come back, it will be for the atmosphere!
My husband and I had a great experience here, along with my pup. The staff and atmosphere were inviting and cozy and my latte was warm and tasty. We found parking right outside the coffee shop. I look forward to returning.
Great little coffee shop! The espresso was excellent--smooth, rich, and perfectly prepared. The pistachio croissant was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Friendly service and a nice atmosphere made the visit even better. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area!
This place is totally worth checking out if you want to sit and sip a coffee or matcha while getting work done, chatting with friends, or just hanging out for a while in the air conditioning. There are so many seating options available and the decor/furniture is so cool. It is located inside an old church (definitely hit up the restrooms while you are here to see the beautiful stained glass windows). The guy working there was very kind and attentive. He brought us our drinks in very cute ceramic cups and he brought our bakery items after warming them in the oven. They definitely needed at least a few more minutes in the oven, but the taste was still enjoyable.
Such a sweet little neighborhood spot, with indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside with our dogs and when I went to the bathroom (which is huge and I like the decor), saw they have the sweetest event space too. It would be a great place for a holiday or other party. They have plenty of teas and flavored syrups for all the coffee drinks I don't do. They had multiple milk type options for the chai my husband had and liked.
Red Door is cute space. Just overpriced and upcharges on alternative milk. If in the area, come for the novelty. But not a lot places to sit. 3/5.
WHY is this place not NUMBER one coffee shop in Indy!?! I'm beyond impressed. The barista is the cutest sweetest nicest little lady! She was SO kind. She brought us our DRINKS! The cups?? Adorable. Perfect first date vibes if you need that! After going to tinkle house and having an awful experience (check my review) ... this was like the best experience. I will be coming here SO MANY more times!! Thanks for cheering me up after being so incredibly disappointed w/ tinkle house. I was grumpy after the tinkles but now I am happy and caffeinated! Also PS- thanks for not being rude when I asked a SINGLE clarification on my order. Tinkles could learn a thing or two from y'all.
I had never heard of this place up until a few weeks ago when a friend suggested we meet here for morning coffees. I'm surprised this place isn't more popular because this has the aura of a place where you would find social media influencer wannabes (like me). Vibes - IMMACULATE Coffee - TOP TIER Barista - LOCKED IN Two things that stood out to me: First, when I walked in there were a group of about four people chatting at a seating area near the counter. A few older scholarly looking guys and a middle aged female police officer. All smiling, laughing, enjoying their coffee. It felt like a friend group from a TV show and created a welcoming atmosphere, like in this place, everyone could drop all of their differing opinions and just be friendly. Second, and I was notified of this firsthand by the barista which was great cos I might not have realized this otherwise, their larger seating area in a separate room is a quiet space for folks to focus on work. I don't see that very often in coffee shops. It feels like a secret safe haven now that I can escape to when I need some quiet time to work or read. Highly recommend this spot.
I've visited The Cyrus Place event venue for a party before, so I was excited to see them add this little coffee shop in the building as well. As you can guess by the name, it's marked by a bright red door that makes you just want to see what's on the other side. There are a few parking places in a little attached parking lot or you can opt for street parking. I walked inside and immediately enjoyed the greenery, red brick, and eclectic musical instruments and tea equipment decorating the space. There are a few tables, as well as a hidden back room. My favorite part of my visit was the cool bartender who shared a funny story of something that happened that day and was super easy to chat to. She's the kind of person you want in an intimate cafe experience so that you feel right at home. I saw a row of organic tea boxes that all sounded good, saw a few coffee options written on a board, and then saw another sign with a drink special listed on it, but they were all at different parts of the counter, so I didn't really understand if there was a set menu and would like one with all of the options listed on it. I asked about the types of milk they offered because I didn't see that written anywhere either (and sorry if it is written somewhere and I just missed it!). Regardless, I ended up ordering a matcha latte with almond milk and it was delicious. I'd be happy to come back!
So great to see this space alive again in the Lockerbie Square neighborhood. There are a handful of tables for working but I would say it's more of a grab and go vibe. However, in the warmer months, the side patio with umbrellas is the best spot in the house. They offer an assortment of teas, coffee and a few baked goods made by the owner's wife. I would describe this as less of a third wave style coffee shop and more so pumped syrups and coffee beans from Chicago (Intelligentsia). They had a fun French jazz playlist on during my visit. It's a little on the darker side but moody and charming. Overall, a great addition to downtown and happy to see them here.
What a gorgeous hidden little coffee shop! I absolutely love the menagerie of plants by the windows all around to make the place feel like a cozy little greenhouse. I went around 1 pm on a weekday so it wasn't crowded at all, so I got my order pretty quickly. My order Cappuccino ($5): a perfect balance of coffee and milks, needing no sweetener whatsoever (even if you're a sweet tooth like me!) Chocolate chip cookie ($3): delish! Comes warmed too. My only critique is that it would be nice if there were some savory options in terms of food. While I love a sweet pastry with my coffee, it's nice to have something to balance a sweeter coffee drink. Most accessible street parking would probably be on New York Street, where the entrance is located (not East Street like Apple Maps would tell you!)
Such a hidden gem in Indianapolis. I'm officially obsessed with the space, drinks, and staff! We tried the tiramisu iced latte and brown sugar iced latte, both perfectly flavored with their house-made syrups. The space itself is detailed, cozy, and so spacious--perfect for catching up with friends, working, or just settling in with a good coffee. Located inside a historic church that's been transformed into a coffee shop and event space, this was a spot I knew I had to check out... and I'm SO glad I did! read more
Cozy little hideaway in the Lockerbie Square area! This cafe is in an old church and features a variety of handcrafted coffee (including Turkish coffee), teas and pastries. I stopped in for a brown sugar latte to go and had the friendliest service. After the barista took my order, he told me to find a seat and he'd bring it out to me. The coffee was really well balanced - not too sweet, which let the coffee flavor be the star. This would be a great place to go with friends when you have more time to linger and enjoy the atmosphere. Parking isn't the best. I paid $6 for the lot next to the cafe, which was an all day rate. There might be other options but I was on a schedule and just went with what I found closest to the cafe. read more

I had a great time! The space is cute and the Turkish coffee is awesome. Dimitri was super nice and fun to chat with as I knit on the comfy couches read more
Red Door Cafe has been on my list for a while and I dropped by today needing the extra caffeine. First off don't get thrown off by seeing a church at the location. This was a church which got converted to a hall for weddings and events later and Red door cafe opened last year. One step in it has all the greenery, warmth and coziness you would crave in a coffee shop. The touches to the unfinished brick wall are so aesthetically pleasing. You see different decor like a king size lamp, boat tucked in each corner. The Americano and orange cranberry scone need no introduction- just the right flavor and touch. Customer service was on point and courteous. Parking is available behind the building, street parking is an option too! read more

Stumbled upon this quaint cafe while looking for a last minute alternative location to meet up with a small group. This was the perfect place! The coffee was delicious and served in different fun mugs. The barista that served us provided us an amazing experience. She answered our questions and brought our drinks over to us at our table. Highly recommend checking out this cafe for a quite spot to sip on your coffee, read a book or meet a friend! They even have a small sitting area outside. Cheers! read more

A cute little coffee shop in an old church now event venue. Antique furniture and a lot of plants, not to mention the neat decor of disassembled instruments on the walls. I went with my hubby and infant and we ordered two lattes: a pistachio almond milk and a hazelnut macadamia milk latte. The pistachio was definitely better than the hazelnut. Some parking available in back and free street parking along New York Street. The barista was kind and made our drinks quickly. We hope to visit again soon! read more
A small, intimate cafe with delicious drinks and bakery items. They serve a variety coffee beverages as well as bagged and loose leaf teas. The owners are extremely nice, and will offer you the perfect recommendation. Don't miss the Turkish coffee and the loose leaf white tea! read more
Wonderful, quaint little coffee shop in the side wing of an old brick church building downtown. Cute interior with exposed brick wall, lots of plants and natural light, comfy couch, window seats. I had a strawberry iced matcha - it was perfect. They also sell Intelligentsia coffee in bags. read more
Such a cute, tucked away spot downtown. I went in for a coffee meeting with a couple coworkers, and we had such a nice time. The barista was super friendly and helpful as we all decided what tea to get. I got an iced chai latte, and it had some brown sugar cinnamon on top - delicious! They have two different spaces for sitting, and it was pretty quiet and empty on a Tuesday morning. I love that every window was filled with plants, and all kinds of mismatched furniture, books, etc. made for a hip, cozy vibe. They also have a beautiful looking event space that would be so nice for a wedding reception. read more

This place was beautiful. The staff were very friendly and helped me decide what to try. There was lots of very comfortable seating areas and was very quiet. I spent a few hours there and would come again. read more
I was parked just a few blocks away from Red Door and after a short walk from Mass Avenue, the signs for the cafe caught my eye. I had always known about the Cyprus event center but hadn't been to the cafe until today. The signs out front were very welcoming and upon entry a few things caught my eye. The beautifully marbled floor, the comfortable yet classy seating area for those who want to work remote or sip coffee in the coffee shop, and the unique instruments that were hung on the wall. The person working was so kind and recommended the chai latte with a pump of pumpkin spice. It was delicious! It looked like they had a smaller menu of classic coffee/espresso choices (but I didn't spend too much time looking at the menu as I was distracted by how beautiful this place was). I believe they close around 2 pm so I recommend going early so as not to miss it before closing. It's definitely a gem in this city and thankfully isn't too hidden! Just look for the red door by the Cyprus events center and you've found the spot! (Just a block or two from Vida) Enjoy! read more

After attending a few events at the Cyrus, I noticed they had opened a new coffee shop. Being the coffee enthusiast I am, I put this place on my list to try. The staff was super friendly. I asked if they could make me an iced, cherry mocha and they did. It was delicious! It wasn't overly sweet. I really enjoyed my morning at Red Door Cafe. Great coffee and service was top notch! read more

Adorable little cafe that opened up recently!! We met the owner who gave us a little tour of the upstairs and downstairs spaces for events. This building is gorgeous with stained glass windows and high ceilings, it would be perfect for corporate events or nice parties. I liked how chill the atmosphere was, perfect for studying with light audible music in the background. The workers were so sweet. Decor was excellent and very unique with the musical instruments hung up, and I loved all the plant vibes. Felt like I was abroad with the red front door wide open, welcoming to the sunshine/breeze outdoors. They're also dog friendly which is a plus! Will be coming back for sure :) read more

We went here on a nice fall morning. Lots of basic options. No frills, but the views and vibes are immaculate. I had a chai tea latte which was nice, warm and spiced perfectly. My friend had a caramel latte which was "very good". This place is a nice hidden shop away from the crowd. read more
