My first time to try this cafe and it really gave me a good vibe, reminding me of my time not so long ago living in California. Staff was friendly and accommodating and the Club sandwich I ordered was perfect. They easily modified my request to change out the type of bread and cheese I wanted. I asked to toast the bread and they even asked me what level of toasting I preferred for my bread. They also ensured my bacon was crispy as requested. This was the best club sandwich I have had in a long time. If you get a chance check out The Groovy Cafe. read more

The Groovy Cafe will always be one of my favorite spots in the area. This visit, I tried the Banana Bread Iced Latte. While I unfortunately couldn't taste much of the banana bread flavor, I know the amazing staff would've happily remade it if I'd noticed before leaving. That said, the vibes here are always immaculate, and the fact that they serve Dole Whip is reason enough to stop by. I truly feel like the whole world needs to know about this place! read more

Came here to kill some time between meetings. I had my baby with me and I had enough space to have my stroller (but ended up just bringing him in inside his car seat). There was some cozy season where I got some work done while he napped. The inside was clean and service was friendly and quick. The food and coffee were delicious. I'd highly recommend and I'll be back if I'm in the area again! read more

Cute little cafe I met a colleague in back in November. Don't judge me I'm just catching up on reviews! This place was cute although it seemed like staff were struggling a little with orders and the cash register. I totally get for new staff things are a learning curve so I hope groovy cafe is doing a little better than my last visit. My drink was delightful it was an apple latte that smelled and tasted like a candle in the best way. Groovy cafe also has soft serve ice cream with the flavor stripes (my partners absolute favorite) so I am definitely planning on coming back when it warms up outside. Give this place a try! read more

Our Indy Coffee Club group came to The Groovy Cafe in Lawrence, IN to check out a new coffee shop. This is a very cool place with a unique and creative ambiance. The shop is decorated in all 70's memorabilia and style, and has a beautiful fireplace. Since it is Christmas, the shop does have a very nice Christmas display out front with the Grinch on a reindeer, and some Christmas decor inside as well. All the staff were dressed in Christmas clothes as well which made it very nice and fun to be in the store. The staff were very friendly and welcoming when I entered the store. I was impressed with the beverage menu and the food menu as well. I ordered the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Apple Chai Tea for my beverage and the breakfast hash for breakfast. The breakfast hash was Ok and tasty, but not my favorite. The Brown Sugar Cinnamon Apple Chai tea was fantastic and incredible! I could taste all the flavors of the brown sugar, cinnamon, and apple in the tea, and it felt terrific on my pallet. I highly recommend this beverage if you are a tea drinker. The Groovy Cafe is a cool coffee shop, and would come back here again if I'm in the Lawrence area. The beverages are out of this world! read more

I may now have a new obsession with their chai lattes! So good! They have tons of alternatives to whole milk to add to your beverages as well. Food menu has a great variety as well! I've been wanting to try Sidedoor Bagels and found out that this cafe partners with them so I finally got my wish! Coming back weekly now! read more

Friendly, cozy, yummy. Great coffees with lots of options. I had an excellent Cortado. Ordered the hash and it came in a little cardboard bowl with spinach, peppers, black beans, egg, potatoes, and bacon. Plus a choice of bread - sourdough for me. One note, there were only 2 people working so it was very slow. However, they told me up front it would be a while and I was in no hurry today. read more

My tween says this place is peak vibes. :) It is soo friendly and bright, it's my go-to on grey winter days when I need to get out of the house. Great salads, local ownership, tinker coffee, always super clean. Try the groovy cake it really does hit the spot. Now that it's pleasantly warm and not brain-meltingly hot out like a few weeks ago, it's a lovely place to bike to or sit outside. Can't wait until slick city opens up a few doors down and we can do lunch or ice cream there with the kiddos before going to play! read more

What a hidden gem! I've seen this place for years and we just went today and the inside is adorable! Loved the vibe! The staff was absolutely amazing! While we were there a customer complained a lot about a couple drinks (maybe a bit dramatic) but the staff handled it so so so well. She was so helpful to the customer and really nice! I didn't catch her name but she was in a Lululemon shirt ahaha anyway she was super nice! read more

This coffee shop is straight out of the 70s with a modern and artistic flair! This is a colorful mural painted on the wall that reads "Good Things Happen Here." There are pops of color all throughout this coffee shop from the orange chairs to the bright painted walls throughout the space. They support local artisans as well with handmade jewelry, pottery, and artwork hanging on the walls. The coffee is delicious! I got a seasonal latte - Orange Chocolate (not pictured) and the Hot Honey Bacon Bagel. It's a plain bagel with cream cheese, crispy bacon, and Cholula hot honey drizzled on top. It was scrumptious! The latte had the perfect balance of orange zest and chocolate sauce, not too sweet. The baristas were great and super nice! The barista helped provide a couple options as I was between two lattes. Everyone was super nice and quick service! Will definitely be coming back here soon! read more

Walking into the Groovy Cat Cafe is like stepping back in time. The interior is painted in a classic 70's teal, and iconic emblems of the 70's adorn the walls. Groovy Cat really pays attention to every detail in the ambiance of the cafe, from the 70's tunes blaring overhead to even decorating the napkin dispensers with cards from 70's TV shows! Of course, Groovy Cat does have many "modern" amenities, like free WiFi (perfect for me, who came to do some work on my computer!) and several different seating options. I chose to set up my "work space" in the back on one of the comfy couches, but there are also several tables and a countertop space. As for the food and drinks at Groovy Cat, the prices are considerably more expensive than other local coffee shops like Geist Coffee or SchoolHouse 7. My 12-oz mocha (the smallest size available) was $6, and one slice of cinnamon swirl bread was $4. I looked at the menu while I was waiting in line, and one egg sandwich was $10! Quite honestly, I don't think that the quality of the drink or food matched the steep price. I liked the idea of a Valentine's-themed chocolate covered strawberry mocha, but I could only taste the chocolate flavor in the drink. If mocha's not your thing, Groovy Cat also offers lattes of several different flavors, from vanilla to lavender, as well as teas and Italian lemonades. One thing that I loved about Groovy Cat was that everyone on the staff was so kind and courteous. I was sitting next to the speaker and the loud music was a little distracting to me while I was trying to do my work, and one of the staff members came and adjusted the volume for me. Also, my mocha was ready within 2 minutes of ordering. Groovy Cat is a great place to study or get some remote work done, all while enjoying some unique drinks and food options. read more

Came here for the first time today and boy am I disappointed that I have not been here sooner! I just got soft serve ice cream but it was half price because of their "happy hour" which was a nice surprise! I will be back to try one of their sandwiches. Cute place! Great service! read more

Hands down my favorite coffee shop on the north side of Indy. Located in an unassuming strip mall, Groovy Cat is a nostalgic throwback to the 70s with it's vibe - but the menu captures everything you could ask for in a current day cafe. This family owned spot makes their own syrup (medium iced oat milk lavender latte on repeat, thank you very much). They have an incredible food menu (my go-to is a Sidedoor Rosemary sea salt bagel toasted with cream cheese)...the sandwiches and toast are to die for. And the rotating homemade bakery items? Words won't do them justice - just hit that "follow" on their Facebook to see what they're baking up and thank me later. And the number one reason to check them out? The owners and staff are beyond friendly and kind. Pro-tip: There are three schools located within a block of the cafe, so keep that in mind when you stop in from a traffic perspective. Sometimes it takes a minute to get into the large parking lot, but it's worth it, I promise. read more

This space has a great vibe. Everyone was super friendly too. They have some couches and comfy chairs to sit on, in addition to some tables and chairs. They serve breakfast and lunch and have a barista for your coffee needs. They serve tinker coffee and side door bagels. We really enjoyed our coffees. The bagels were great too. I need to go back and try the homemade pretzel buns! read more

Great locally owned coffee shop. They do not have cats. Instead they have a wonderful modern vintage vibe. Think updated 70s. The coffee is at a drinkable temperature. They offer lots of milk options for those of us avoiding dairy. Need food? They have you covered. I'm going to get a cupcake the next time. She makes them in house. Baked goods, breakfast foods, quiches, and lunch options grace their menu. read more

Great find!! We were driving through the area, saw it on the Yelp list. Friendly welcome. Thank you! Counter service. Sweet, groovy, chill vibe. Love the orange chairs. A corner seating area has couches and a leather chair. Nicely decorated. A bright, sunny place on a gloomy day!! :) I tried my husband's chicken caprese sandwich - it was yummy, Get it on rye bread! I got a harvest salad and wow it was nice sized! I fell in love with their maple apple cider vinaigrette!! I thought about asking if I could buy some for home it was so good. Hot chocolate perfect for cold rainy day and I got an Americano for the ride home - it was perfect, no bitterness. Oh we got a slice of cake - olive oil blood orange? Very moist, so sooo good!! I highly recommend this cafe and hope to return soon!!! Happy to have found the Groovy Cat Cafe today!! read more

THE GROOVIEST! This place is awesome! I walked in here after being recommended it by a local shop down the road, and I am so glad that I did! The vibes are indeed groovy as ever! The place is vibrant and has tables, chairs, and couches to sit on. They offer coffee, tea, and munchies. The gal who recommended this place to me said that the food is amazing, but today, I just wanted coffee. They had a summer syrup - Honey-Lavender, so I opted for an Iced Honey-Lavender Latte with Oatmilk and it was delicious! The two folks working today were so kind! I can't wait to go back and try some of their food offerings and do some work there! read more

I don't know how I've missed this place up until now! My internet was out one day and I was looking for a place to catch up on work. The location is really convenient for me and I love the vibe! The barista was super friendly and helped me decide on an iced latte with one of their house-made syrups and I was happy to find a gluten free peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. My latte was great but it was the cookie for me. I will absolutely be going back for more of those. read more

Stopped by for a late lunch & loved my experience! Trendy little cafe with a fun, groovy yet modern vibe. I love the variety of seating with regular tables and chairs, with some comfy couches thrown in too. All the food sounded delicious and the dessert was all homemade! I somehow resisted the urge to splurge on dessert, but I'm thinking I'll give in next time ;) For lunch I had a chickpea wrap which I really enjoyed. This was not swimming in sauce like some unfortunately do. There are also a variety of drinks to choose from all the way from hot tea to cold kombucha. Plenty of spaces in the parking lot. Make sure to check hours before going! read more

This space is so cool!! It lives up to the name and the vibes are perfectly 70s. They have a wide range of menu items, including breakfast sandwiches, lunch, and baked goods. The coffee is well-priced and they have some great non-coffee options too. My favorite thing to get is the chicken caprese sandwich on a sidedoor bagel with a passionfruit lemonade. The groovy cat café is a great place to study or hang out with friends and the owners are super friendly! read more

Food tasted fresh and the vibe is cool. It has a 60s/70s vibe with the music choices and decor. Great place to meet up for a cup of coffee/tea. I'm not a coffee drinker and was pleasantly surprised by all the non-coffee drink options. I would have taken a pic of the food but we ate it all! The staff is sweet and takes care in wiping off the tables. Check it out! read more

Great new find for us!! Food was phenomenal all made fresh. Coffees were hot which is often not True in other places! They make many of their own syrups and the ones we tried had great flavors. Fresh pretzel rolls for breakfast sandwiches and three different types of quiche. I had the veggie and it was delicious! We went on a Saturday morning around 9:30am. It was not crowded at all. Walking in it was roomy and not cluttered. There are strategically placed "groovy" decor items and the spacing of seating and tables feels very comfortable and gives privacy if one likes it. Again this is now on our REPEAT list for sure!! read more

I was able to visit on their opening day (today), and it was terrific. The latte, selection of foods, and ambiance were everything I could hope for in a new coffee place. I had the salted caramel maple latte, brown butter rice crispy treat, and my son had their lemon blueberry loaf, and we could not have been more satisfied. Their staff's friendliness matched their groovy vibes. read more

The Groovy Cat Cafe is a brand new restaurant on the north east side. It just opened up one week ago. It was busy around 12pm, but their service was fast and friendly. I tried the fancy toast avocado mash with a fried egg. It was delicious and worth the $9! My friend had the club sandwich on their house made pretzel bun and he said it was really good, too. I would definitely go back to this place! They are located in the strip mall by Murphys Craft House on Fox Rd. read more

Great place for a quick bite and pretty cool environment. High quality coffee drinks.

Great location, owner, help, and quality of food and of course coffees! The venue is fun!

This place was so cool! The decor, music, and vibes will put you in such a good mood for the rest of the day! The employees were helpful and kind. The coffee is strong and delicious, but the real stand out was the food! The food was SO GOOD. I got the banana bread and the bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on a homemade pretzel bun. The banana bread tasted just like my mom's homemade recipe! I couldn't believe it! So sweet, moist, and yummy. The breakfast sandwich was unreal. The bacon was crispy, and the pretzel bun was so so good. I'm so glad I stopped in today! Such a great addition to the neighborhood! read more
