Coffeehouses

We understand the importance of a good cup of coffee. It can set the tone for your day to come, or can be the much-needed afternoon pick-me-up. So, without further ado, here’s our guide to local coffee shops in Indy.

Amberson Coffee

Carefully roasted coffee is a work of art, with slight changes in heat and airflow and timing in the roaster making for very different results in the final cup. Blue Mind never tires of roasting, brewing, or drinking great coffee.

Bovaconti Coffee

Once home to the classic Bovaconti Jewelers, this brewed up gem is located right on Virginia Avenue towards Fountain Square. The new ownership, Justin Jones (owner of Georgia Street Grind) and Minda Balcius, pay homage to the Italian jeweler's history, and smooth, Italian coffee is an assumed staple at this retro, old-world cafe.

Coffee shops are not just for WiFi and coworking. This Fletcher Place coffee shop has walls adorned with local art that rotates frequently to make you feel at home.
