I needed some caffeine in order to make it through my day in Muncie, and The Caffeinery was just the place to find it. What a fitting name! You can find caffeine in many forms here: lattes, cold brew ... whatever else. My mind is blanking on all of the other coffee drinks, because I just ordered a cup of the house blend to go (black). It was just the thing that I needed. I drink my coffee very slowly, so it's important that my coffee taste good as it makes its way from piping hot to lukewarm. The black coffee at The Caffeinery tastes good in all temperatures! What a relief. Sometimes, coffee will taste more bitter as it gets cold, but that's not the case with this coffee. It was good from start to finish. There's a little play space for kids here, which I love to see. I wasn't visiting with my children, but when I was a young mom, I was always on the lookout for restaurants and cafes with nooks for kids. That's really cool that The Caffeinery has a play area for children here. Parking is on the street, and I had no probably finding a free parking space. read more

Adorable inside- all decked out for Fall. Coffee was amazing & everything bagel with homemade veggie cream cheese was delicious. Love supporting a downtown small biz! read more

Lovely coffee shop in the downtown Muncie area- service was awesome and the baristas were friendly. Tried a traditional 6 oz cappuccino and it was fabulous! Just a nice smooth flavor- no strong fruity or chocolate taste, more of a graham cracker note. Bathrooms were clean and lots of seating. Nice natural lighting inside as well from the windows. There is plenty of street parking around the area. Visited from Michigan, but I will definitely be back when I'm in the area! read more

Cute spot with lots of great drink options! We went on the Sunday after thanksgiving so there was a bit of a line but we moved through it pretty quickly! I had the cookie butter chai latte with a shot of espresso and it was so yummy! read more

Very cute, well decorated coffee shop. They have lots of seasonal latte options and a regular menu of fancy lattes. The coffee was very good. Food wise, there is a good selection of muffins, coffee cake, and bagels with cream cheese. If I lived in Muncie this would definitely be a regular spot! read more

Such a cute coffee shop! Lots of fun decor and seating, and even a kids play area. It was packed on a Saturday morning, but service was quick and the staff were very helpful. I got an everything bagel with jalepeno cream cheese that was delicious. Be aware, the cream cheese is for true jalepeno lovers and has a kick. I also got a Bee Hive latte, the coffee is fresh and there's tons of options. This is definitely a place where you would have to come multiple times to find your "thing". read more

My husband and I love to travel and make it a point to seek out the best coffee spots wherever we go. During our recent stay in Muncie, we discovered a true gem. The coffee is hands-down the best in town, and the pastry selection is just as impressive. The customer service is consistently warm and welcoming, and with easy parking and comfortable seating, it's a spot that truly has it all. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town. read more

I have been trying to come here for years... Either due to Covid timing, or closed on Sundays & Mondays Ive missed it... Its a really nice, slick, clean atmosphere... And they play good music too. Music is important, reflects the taste-personality of the establishment. I had the house coffee and it was great. read more

Expressed frustration in a product bought that was not functional/useable and received a long-worded response from the owner basically calling me an idiot. While I knowingly over-spent for said product, I do love to support local. This is not a venue I will continue to support solely based on that interaction. Do better. read more

I've taken several friends here who say they have never tasted coffee that good! Gorgeous atmosphere too! They have non-dairy and caffeine free options too! Salted Caramel Mocha made with oat milk is my fave. It's great warm or iced! read more

Bagel and coffee was better than I thought, very cool atmosphere. Definitely recommend coming in.

My partner and I tried the Rwanda pour over and the Almond Joy latte and both were delicious and fresh. We also tried the coffee cake and it was a perfectly moist and tasty baked item. Nice, modern decor, clean, and plenty of seating. Perfect for solo work sessions or small meetings. Highly recommend this place! read more

On a recent trip to Muncie for a professional conference, I stayed at my favorite hotel - the Courtyard by Marriott adjacent to Horizon Convention Center. It's the home base for the Erskine-Green Training Institute, a favorite non-profit as it's an organization that provides training for individuals with disabilities to enter the competitive job market. I'd wanted to check out The Caffeinery before, but my schedule when in Muncie has never allowed me to be present at a time when it was open. Finally, with a two-day visit planned I had a chance to make the time to head over to The Caffeinery following day one of the conference. Located in what is downtown Muncie, The Caffeinery is an absolutely delightful coffee joint with an atmosphere to die for and service that will completely rock your world. It was actually while I was sitting in The Caffeinery that I discovered that close friend and fellow Yelp Elite Rick G. has known The Caffeinery's owner since she was a young child. That made my visit even more special. The Caffeinery is located in one of the downtown storefronts. It's an older building, though The Caffeinery does a nice job of weaving together updates without compromising the charm and history of the building. I was able to travel the couple of blocks from the hotel by wheelchair without any concern - plenty of curb cuts, though maintaining some awareness is important since some curb cuts in this older area are in a bit of disrepair. That said, I had zero issues. There's also quite a bit of street parking surrounding The Caffeinery and a delightful absence of parking meters. The double-sided doorway is a little heavy, but with the giant windows there's always someone who will see you if you're struggling with the door. The interior is a mixture of regular tables with some high-tops. There's ample room for wheelchair users and spacing was quite workable. The ordering counter is easily identifiable as you enter and I found the staff to be friendly, helpful, and patient with newbies. The Caffeinery is family owned with lively but not overwhelming music, a bright atmosphere, outdoor seating, free WiFi, and the usual selection of coffees, a really wide selection of lattes, iced and hot teas, other iced drinks, baked goods, and probably a few other things I didn't even notice. I kept it simple and went with a large house coffee. I was able to hang out at a table and really soak in the relaxing atmosphere amidst people who were friendly and the warm, inviting atmosphere. I definitely look forward to returning upon my next visit to the Muncie area and will definitely give The Caffeinery an enthusiastic thumbs up. read more

I walked in for the first time on a Friday afternoon. The shop smelled great of course. The decor was perfect. It took a few moments to decide what to drink. There were many flavors of teas and coffees. I chose Banana Nut freshly brewed coffee and a Cinnamon Sugar Muffin. Warmed. I settled down in the corner of the shop on a comfortable, cushiony, chair and flipped through my phone. Spoke to another lovely lady who had been waiting for her coffee. Didn't have time to look at their T-Shirts or other products sold. Great experience in Downtown Muncie, IN on a Friday afternoon. read more

The Cinnamon Roll Latte was amazing! And the Mexican coffee was great too! Great people and an amazing atmosphere! Definitely am gonna go again when I am in Muncie again! read more

I have the privilege of this being so close to my work. Absolutely delicious coffee with seasonal options. The staff is excellent and efficient.

My bestie also got engaged here! read more

No gloves or practice routine hand washing. Seen the girl at cashier then cooking a bagel without washing

While in downtown Muncie, I decided to stop for a quick cup of coffee and found this inviting shop on the south side of downtown. After a short stroll from a nearby parking lot (free), I entered this historic building with warm, tangerine walls, high ceilings, and the pleasant aroma of coffee in the air. On my right as I entered, there was a secluded lounge area away from the open dining area filled with guests at different sized tables along the windows and in the center of the space. To the left was the order/pickup counter with a display of pastries and beverages in a case. On the wall behind the counter were the menus for visitors to peruse while waiting in line to order. After some folks let me go around them while they were deciding, I ordered my standard medium roast, black coffee for dining in. I soon picked it up at the far end of the counter at the Pick up area. Served in a ceramic mug, the coffee was just what I wanted: a ready to drink beverage with rich flavor that I was able to relax and enjoy. My interaction with the staff was brief, but cordial and contributed to feeling that this place was doing well as I saw quite a few folks filling the tables in the middle of the afternoon. I would gladly return! Review #2619 read more

Such a cute coffee shop! I got the Italian cream soda & my boyfriend got a bag of beans to make coffee at home and he said they are good.

Cute! Great selection of coffee, espresso drinks, and baked goods. My macchiato was excellent. Local vegan business "Sea Salt and Cinnamon" sells vegan cupcakes, check them out in the display -- delicious! Free wifi, plenty of seating, lots of natural light. I'll be back to study, soon. read more

The coffee was great, I tried one of their seasonal drinks and loved it. (Salted Carmel Mocha). Also it's a very clean and chill atmosphere. Will definitely be going back again! read more

This coffee shop makes me wish I lived closer to Muncie. Super friendly but hip vibe and great music hits you when you walk in. The aroma was amazing and the coffee tastes even better than it smells! We both ordered an Almond Joy latte and an order of biscotti. The price was right and I cannot wait to come back to try the other unique items on the menu. The location is perfect and close to some other places worth checking out if you're in the area. We got our drinks to go and headed across the street to paint pottery, but this would also be a great meeting spot to catch up and grab a drink. The Caffeinery will definitely be a place I visit whenever I'm in town. I highly recommend visiting to try these delicious coffees for yourself. You definitely will not be disappointed. read more

Their chai latte steamer is incredible and they serve in real mugs. That makes it feel local

My favorite coffeehouse in Muncie. I find myself in Muncie a handful of times each year, and try to stop here when I'm in town during their business hours. It's sparkling clean, and there are plenty of tables and seating spaces to stop and visit. WiFi is speedy, and the help is friendly and effecient. I've got hooked on one of their coffee drinks called the Honeybee, and sweet without being TOO sweet, the perfect morning and late afternoon pick me up. I highly recommend a stop here in Downtown Muncie. read more

I loved visiting the spot in downtown Muncie. I had heard great reviews about it, and that it was one of the best spots in the Muncie area to find a good quality cup of Java. And such an unlikely location, this is a sweet little gem sitting on the corner of one of the main streets. And let's be honest, downtown Muncie isn't the most elite. There was plenty of parking available along the road. I love their big windows that stretch from the front to around the corner of their building, and the amount of seating they have inside to accommodate me that with a friend or doing business work. I was super impressed by their menu, they have a lot of options available! They do pour-overs and pressed coffee, which tells me that they know how to truly appreciate a good coffee. They also have a wide variety of lattes and other flavored drinks available. The barista was really friendly to help make suggestions for me. I ended up trying their pumpkin spice since it is the fall! It was tasty and perfectly frothed. read more

Great coffee/exciting foods that emphacize natural quality. Sincere staff. A real treat!

Delicious coffee! I ordered the mocha iced and they give you paper cups and straws for sustainability which is a plus! Their pastries are no less in being delicious, I ordered a pastry filled with sweet ricotta cheese creme and loved it, tasted homemade with fresh ingredients. The spot has a cozy vibe and very friendly staff. Highly recommend! read more

Love this coffee shop! I stop here before going to class. Everything is good & the baked goods are delicious as well.

Adorable local coffee shop! I love the bright, clean, airy environment with lots of natural light and plants. Staff is very friendly and iced tea options are fabulous. Great work spaces with easy wifi and plug in availability. I wish they had a few more food options as I would totally stick around for soups and sandwiches. Great Muncie stop and I will continue to return! read more

The Caffeinery - Study materials - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Muncie, Indiana

I am a huge fan of the Caffeinery. What draws me in is the atmosphere. From their giant windows that let in the naturally sunlight, to the little touches of local art. I always recommend this place to friends and it is usually the first place I suggest for a meet up. I believe it caters to any level of coffee lovers taste. Whether you are a coffee snob or a coffee newbie, they have something for you. The staff is always very helpful and cheerful. I have never had a bad pastry from here. It can get very crowded at times, especially more recently, but they've always gotten my latte out to me within a reasonable amount of time. I highly recommend following their Instagram account. It's a great way to keep up with new latte flavors and desserts. It is also one of my favorite accounts to follow! read more

Best latte in town and a really nice place. They're busy from the time they open which says it all.

Great coffee, very flavorful. I love the lattes, especially the lavender vanilla. However, the house coffee with just almond milk is great. They always have some wonderful baked goods as well. Highly recommend. read more

I went into the Caffeinery not really knowing what to expect. I'd heard that it was a pretty cool place, so I went to check it out for myself. Upon arriving, I noticed the selection of lattes were very unique and that caught my attention. I ordered a Butterfinger Latte and it was seriously one of the best lattes I've ever had. It was a little pricey, but not terribly expensive; especially compared to some other coffee shops. The service was great and the barista who took my order was very friendly. The atmosphere was comfortable and cozy. Definitely recommend checking this unique coffee shop out. Totally worth it! read more

I've gotta say, the pumpkin chocolate chip cupcake was really good---but $3.75? That's Indianapolis prices! The ambiance is pretty good here--lots of light. The menu and coffees are good, too. Best of all, the place always seems to be full of cute girls. (Seriously, there were like 15 people in there and I was the only guy.) I wish the hours were a bit more extensive. read more
