This is an artsy coffee, bagel and sandwich shop across from the historic courthouse in Lafayette. We stopped in for an early lunch. The menu is at the coffee bar and that's where you order. There is a mix of table and lounge seating along the long narrow dining room. Students and other academics work at laptops and discuss heady topics. The walls are filled with modern and kitschy art. The staff is busy making specialty coffees but a clerk stops to give us the menu. Food comes out quickly. I order a bowl of the wild rice and mushroom soup. The soup is house made, thick and hearty. My husband and I share a Thai Tuna on a whole wheat bagel. The bagels are made in Bloomington. The tuna is interesting with Thai spices. I love the pickled onions and fresh cucumbers. The Broad Ripple chips are an odd blend of sweetly and spicy hot. There is limited street parking. The shop was full when we left. The sandwiches are great. read more

Wow! Best bagel sandwiches ever. We were in town for a soccer game and did an online order which was ready when we arrived. The bahn mi bagel was so good, and my partner loved the ham and pimento sandwich. Love all the local partnerships you can see in their ingredient choices. read more

The Eleventh House - Breakfast banh mi - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

The food was tasty but not knock-you-over (soup had some flavor, though) and the drip coffee was frankly pretty bad (and they wanted payment for the fill-and-refill-yourself second stay-in mug). Decor in the dark place was kinda on the "I'm a sad art kid really trying to cheer myself up" side; seating was plentiful if a little on the crowded side when other customers decided to talk loudly. Order-at-the-counter/tip/bring-it-to-you service was pleasant enough but the ordering process could have been more efficient. It was fine, but there are many other places around that are great, so . . . well, there were lots of people in The Eleventh House, so maybe I'm just not their target demographic. read more

I stopped in for morning coffee and to check email. The coffee was good. They do bagels, but I did not see a menu posted up. There was probably one about. The vibe is great - tattoos, piercings, and whatever (trying to paint the picture). Nice to see in midwest Lafayette. The message of acceptance is all throughout. The shop was not filled with college kids (being so close to Purdue). It is also not the spot for a quick grab-n-go. The decor is a mish-mash of used tables, chairs, lights, pictures, things... The service was friendly and great, but it is on the slower side as they take their time with everyone. They brought my coffee to me in a mish-mash mug. I will be back when in West Lafayette. read more

The service and atmosphere here are excellent. Friendly staff, fast service, and cool art on walls - even in the restrooms! I ordered the BLT on an everything bagel. The sandwich was tasty and the bagel perfectly toasted. I tried an iced latte with miso caramel flavoring that tasted great but it was a small drink for the price. The price for my meal and drink is comparable to other local cafes but the sandwich/side and the drink were smaller for the $20 I spent (tip included). I might return here for a change of pace from my usual haunts, or not. read more

Ordered dark coffee then given house cold coffee. The environment was zombie, emo, and gothic including the discussions with staff while guests are in the dining area. The latte was cold and definitely not a family place or anyplace to have a young kid, from artwork, graphics to music. read more

Friendly staff -- great sandwiches -- ample seating -- great lemonades -- open on a holiday -- thank you!!

The Eleventh House became my favorite coffee spot in Lafayette, the very second it opened its doors. From their handcrafted syrups, to their well thought-out recipes, every single item on their menu is, in its own way, an absolute carnival to the senses. The entire staff works together flawlessly, and really create the overall eccentric vibe you won't be able to help but fall in love with. There's a variety of different types of seating and different lighting, and the music will never disappoint. They typically have a collection going for different important causes, sometimes local, sometimes global, and actively provide a safe space for all. When you buy coffee at a place like this, it's so much more than just buying coffee, you are empowering those, who empower others. read more

WOW. I have not been this excited to write a review for a coffee place in a long time! Everything was outstanding. Everything on the menu sounded so good it was hard to choose. I ended up going with a banana cold brew (amazing flavor) and a lox bagel on an everything bagel. This was unique as it had apple slices on it! It was outstanding! My friends ordered a goat cheese on a jalapeño bagel (blueberry, goat cheese, arugula) and we also had a spicy cortado along with an everything latte! Not one bad thing to say! The service is very quick and if I had to describe the vibes it would be modern grunge revival! I can't wait to come back. Just wish I lived a bit closer to Lafayette. read more

This has quickly become my Sunday morning spot. The lavender latte with oat milk is the most delicious latte in the whole city. I love sitting on the patio when the weather is nice and reading with my coffee in hand. Eleventh House offers unique coffee drinks and bagels. I highly recommend if you're in the Lafayette area close to downtown! read more

I came to the new downtown location of The Eleventh House just to study, and even without ordering anything, I was welcomed like a regular. I offered to leave a tip since I was just using the space, and they kindly told me not to worry about it--that alone says a lot about the environment here. The lighting is dim but not dark, creating a calming, focused vibe that's perfect for working or just taking a breather from the world. It's quiet without feeling sterile, and the ambiance feels like it's been designed with intention--peaceful, grounded, and warm. You can really feel the care behind this place. There was this soft spotlight hitting the table I was working at--it gave me that subtle "main character in a cozy indie film" feeling while I studied, which honestly just made the experience. They had the doors open that day, and a light breeze drifted through the space, carrying the fresh scent of rain. It was refreshing without being disruptive--just enough to make the air feel alive. I've never been a huge fan of the food they serve but the coffee is great. really the perfect little downtown hole in the wall type shop! Even without ordering, I felt like I belonged. That's rare. This is the kind of space I keep coming back to. read more

The people who work at this place are amazing! I went in and needed to get cash back to pay for parking, and they just gave me five dollars. I got a hot chocolate here too which was delicious, and they were very kind to me when I sat at the bar. I love the overall vibe of this place too; the dark walls with cool art and flags give the whole place a relaxing and edgy ambiance. Would definitely return! read more

I pay great homage to any coffeehouse that serves my latte in a glass. Creative drinks, friendly, helpful advice, and a great place to hang out. I come here at least once every time I am in town! read more

Very much enjoy the bagel sandwiches here but something has to be done regarding nearly all tables being taken up with one person at each, laptop open, no food and empty drink container. How long are people able to "hang out" at the expense of other customers not being able to eat while seated? It keeps us from coming there, as well as several others we know. This morning others were complaining about the same issue and they left, as we did. read more

I cannot express how much I LOVE this place. Been coming here for 4 years now and it's definitely my favorite local business in Lafayette. The coffee is ALWAYS made made with quality in mind and I have never been disappointed by the house lattes. You are paying for quality: in house syrups, locally sources ingredients/suppliers, and baristas that never compromise flavors and aesthetics. (All my photos are years apart) The atmosphere is very quirky and unique only to the owner and employees of the cafe. They also sometimes host or support local artists by displaying and selling their art, hosting art festivals at the beginning of every season, and raising funds for local charities. Finally, this place wouldn't be the amazing place it is without the owner and employees. They are all kind, funny, and make you feel welcome. They care about their crafts and are more than happy to help new comers find a drink or dish that is best suited for them. I love this place and am constantly there read more

Finally the new downtown spot is open instead of the bar that traded church for the stars and cards, mom and the grandparents won't be cringed out now! I do miss the easy parking lot, outdoor patio, and larger seating room but the entire atmosphere is now brighter, more inviting, and music has been balanced to enhance the excellent food and drinks. They had a short stall during opening weeks without food but the full menu and more is in play now! All the drinks and house crafted lattes are pure goodness, testimony to the virtues of house made syrups, high quality Tinker roasted beans, and well mixed lattes. I enjoy just everything from the main menu to seasonal and weekly creations. There's plenty to treat the high class black brew earl as well as those like me needing coffee as unlike coffee as possible. The recent Yule espresso egg nog was sublime. Another recent best has been the Mexican mocha, a rich and spicy winter win. Bagels continue to be excellent just like the previous three years, plenty of options and something just about for everyone, gluten and vegetarian, but am missing that soup, maybe the amazing Hungarian Mushroom can be imported from Black Sparrow please? Only issues I've noticed is no rewards program, no mobile order options even though they used to use the Joe App which was fantastic to get third party benefits and easy ordering, however all small potatoes considering The Eleventh House keeps on as my top local list. My other snobby java jesters agree as well, even one working at the overpriced Greyhouse, that the best drip is made here. read more

A coffee shop by day and a bar by night, the Eleventh House is a comfy place to get a coffee and some nice bagels. Keep in mind this review is a little old and from this summer. I was a little thrown off when I first arrived since I wasn't sure whether I was in the right place, but with a quick look around and some reassurance from the staff, I placed my order. I got a banana bread cold brew and classic lox bagel sandwich on an everything bagel. Banana Bread Cold Brew: Good, but I had trouble finishing it. It's one of those drinks that gets worse over time. Classic Lox Bagel Sandwich: Really good and made the trip worth it. The bagel was of good quality and they didn't skimp on any of the toppings. It also came with a side of citrus slices (grapefruit and orange) which I loved. read more

one of the coolest cafes i've been to. eleventh house is a huge coffee shop located in a dive bar. they have a unique variety of delicious lattes and cortados. i would HIGHLY recommend the cortado made with rose water and vanilla. the lox bagel is also delicious. it is made with cream cheese, cucumber, pickled onion, capers, and lox, which you can sub for avocado (highly recommend). all bagels are also served with a choice of fresh oranges/grapefruit or spicy potato chips. the service here was quick and friendly. the girl that took our order was extremely patient as we took some time to decide what to order. apparently they also serve pizza and turn into a bar at night? i will definitely check that out next time i'm in town!! read more

Eleventh House has the best bagels in town and great coffee. I also like the interesting seasonal lattes such as sweet potato in November

It was sooooo good the first time we did a repeat visit today and it is just as yummy. The bagel sandwiches are unique and outstanding. Foodies, you'll love them. The ringleader latte is a crowd pleaser. The staff friendly and the art fun. A must visit. read more

We stopped for coffee on our way out of town one morning. I got an iced mocha and my husband got a ginger cayenne latte. Oat milk was available which we were happy about. Both of our drinks were excellent. I enjoyed that my ifed drink was "shaken" like a cocktail. What a perfect way to make sure the chocolate is well mixed. Would definitely stop in again. Turns out that they use Tinker coffee beans which we were already huge fans of. The building is not marked as Eleventh House but the coffee shop is tucked inside of The Spot Tavern so don't miss it! We also visited Smitty bread next door read more

Excellent coffee selection and breakfast bagels! Great hours and wonderful vibes! The rotating specials are always delicious.

Great place! We each had different bagel sandwiches and they were all excellent as were all of the espresso drinks. This will be our new rest stop when passing through Lafayette. It looks like a sketchy bar when walk in so be brave and go in. read more

The Eleventh House - Seating area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

I wish I could take a snapshot of flavors because I guarantee you haven't had lattes like these but I'm in a poetic mood so let me try to capture their essences -- actual flavors in parentheses. *"best is yet to come" (orange marmalade+clove) is like a sunrise but the kind that makes you want to jog around a small downtown and take random pics. *"las vegas past" (rose+pistachio) will make you question why you havent written songs for an irish indie band. *"good karma" (chinese 5 spice+mocha) conjures images of sitting down and reading the whole Harry Potter Series in french (and understanding it). In short I love everything I've had here and can't pick a favorite because moods often dictate my drinks. Check their menu on their website. The food is also always super fresh and has great textures. The number of indoor and outdoor seating options is excellent because it's also in the Spot Tavern. read more

A great addition to Lafayette with their outdoor, colorful work space and house made syrup lattes (Tinker Coffee). The bagels are fresh and the spreads are yummy, but don't take my word for it, head there ASAP read more

Wife & I were in NYC for Memorial day weekend ... I came back with this HUGE craving for bagels with lox and chive cream cheese just like you get in Penn or Grand Central. if you've ever lived in The City you MUST go here ... It's like seriously +authentic+. read more

What a great Surprise! We stayed at an air bnb around the corner and wanted real coffee not a Kcup or foldgers. Found this place and the menu looked perfect. Within walking distance and great ratings. We walked in and out because I thought it was a bar and we went to wrong spot. To our surprise it was the right spot. One side of sign said The spot the other side had right name. My sister and I laughed because I said wow this bar jumping early in the morning walked back in because it was the right location and someone said this is the coffee shop, everything is good. We decided to order bagel sandwiches and the coconut curry lentil soup as well and OMG. Delicious I also had The lox on jalapeño cheddar bagel with the lavender lemonade (better combo instead of coffee) sister had the good karma with oat milk (order one to go also) forgot what bagel she order. Oh had a Asiago bagel with onion chive cc to go. Sat inside instead of going back to the house, great atmosphere and staff were very friendly. Would definitely stop back if in Indiana again. By the way visiting from New Jersey and sister lives in Arizona. Never got coffee ‍ other items on menu over took it. Again very pleased The good karma was great for the coffee fix. read more
