Tinker Coffee Co. Roastery
Coffee roasters
👍👍 Decaf Honduras Marcala is great! Really glad to find a roaster with a solid, recently roasted decaf option. I love espresso so much that I travel with my Decent, but I can only drink decaf. I forgot my beans on a business trip, and I’m happy I found Tinker! When brewing these beans I kept it simple...

The Haverstick is doing a FANTASTIC job with COVID-19 precautions, and they brew excellent local coffee. I was very comfortable visiting there, and I was able to focus on my work a...

Founders Grounds Coffee Company
Coffee shop
👍👍 I was staying in the speedway area for business and needed a good coffee. There are 2 next to each other on main st. Stopped in and tried both, but overall Founders is just the better deal and atmosphere. If you’re into Indy racing lore, and enjoy a good coffee, this is the place to be. Met the owne...

Almost Famous | Crema
Cocktail bar
👍 This place exists for far more than its food & beverages, but the focused menu delivers in spades. The coffee program does not disappoint, though on its own is not worth a detour - Tinker's Conduit blend on espresso & drip are great, but easy to find elsewhere. Luckily the well executed new American...

Helm Coffee
Cafe
👍👍 Let me get straight to the point here. I’ve had one single visit to Helm for a quick pour over. Jill (the owner) made my coffee. Ethiopian Anaerobic. She pulled me a bag of take home beans straight from the roaster herself and was hyped to share the knowledge and vibe. You really need to go visit f...

Normal Coffee
Coffee shop
👍👍 Wow! Nice quiet open space with great coffee. I’d do my business meetings here if I was in business in this town. No crowds and definitely not a franchise feel. Support this place Indy and support the arts like it does.
