    Such a welcoming and eclectic spot! I ordered the spicy chai latte with oat milk and it was delicious. Next time, I will ask for less cinnamon on top. There was only one table left when I arrived, but several of the armchairs were open. A good spot to get some work done in the afternoon!

    One of the best coffee places in the area! The coffee, atmosphere and service is wonderful! Coffee: Love their season specials as well as their regular menu. If you’re here definitely go for the seasonal specials. They are made with great thought and almost always tasty! Atmosphere: Love the vibe! During the week you’d get motivated to work as almost everyone is there working and during the weekend it’s a fun place to be. Merch: I’ve bought a tee from here and the quality is really nice!

    Yesterday my boyfriend and I visited this coffee shop for the first time. The atmosphere was fine, but what really stood out was the service and coffee. They were very welcoming here, and the iced caramel latte I ordered was delicious! Any coffee shop that knows how to make a good latte, is a good one on my book. There have been too many times when I've ordered a latte, and it was made with way too much milk. This one was perfect. There was plenty of sweetness, but not so much that I couldn't taste the coffee. Also I noticed that they sell lemon bars here. I haven't tried one yet, but I'm looking forward to it next time. 😋

    This place is awesome! The staff is super friendly! The atmosphere is perfect for relaxing, working, chatting, grab and go. It might be the perfect blend of coffee shops. I’m so glad I came here to spend the morning working. If you are in the area and you want an amazing experience, stop by and grab a beverage and an Almond Croissant.

    Traveling through and needed a coffee shop not too far from I-70 and came across this one on Google maps. Was surprised to turn the corner and see a really cute little area of the city. The batista was very professional and social & carried on small talk without skipping a beat. We got iced Lattes made Breve style w sugar free vanilla. They were So good. I really wish I would have purchased their beans but we were in a hurry. If we come back through I will for sure. The store was clean and had an artsy vibe. Great little coffee shop!

    This should be your next study spot! Hear me out, amazing and relaxing shop with the smell of ground coffee. What more would you like? An amazing customer service experience? Yess they have it all. Barista changed my drink because I was not a fan of the matcha drink they had. Overall, aesthetic environment. It is also surrounded by great restaurants that you may go to for lunch and an amazing hideout park that has the view of the highway. Leave it up to you to hunt!

    Finally a coffee spot in Indy worth visiting. I got the raven because who doesn’t love a pumpkin themed fall cold brew?

  • 5/5 Vanessa H. 1 year ago on Google
    There's a groovy atmosphere, relaxed and inviting. Eclectic art covers the walls, with both comfortable lounging chairs and plenty of small tables. Power outlets are plenty, for those busy folk. And if you just need a recharge, I've had a latte and hot chai here, both phenomenal. The pride flags and BLM signs out front signify a promise that is kept by their friendly baristas: everyone is welcome here.

    Based purely on coffee, staff are also friendly and knowledgeable. Price is very fair. If you sit in, coffee served in quality ceramic cups and nice atmosphere (need more high brow books back on the book shelves please!). Literally the only coffee house from which I have ever bought a bag of coffee (thank you John for the tailored grind) for my home machine. Still trying to work out if I should upgrade to industrial machine. One of the places my international realtor used to get me interested in moving from Europe to Indy; and it worked, at least in the short term lol

    I visited Calvin Fletcher’s Coffee Company on December 28th. My cousin Alyssa lives in Fountain Square and it is one of her favorite places in the neighborhood! I can see why!! The atmosphere is all-embracing from the environment to its customers. The staff was professional and kind. I ordered a Dirty Chai Latte. It was delicious! It is the perfect place to visit with family or friends. I’ll also say that my cousin ordered a vegetarian breakfast burrito and a croissant and they both looked amazing!! She said that were really good too. She loves their pastries!

    This is one of my favorite coffee shops. I love the atmosphere—everyone is welcome. There’s tables and chairs and comfy chairs too. Their drinks are great—seasonal ones are fun to try but their coffee is roasted in house and is so good. They also have pastries and sandwiches sometimes too. Definitely a good spot for a meetup or an easy place to work. Oh! And they have a small area with kid toys and crayons which is always a plus!

    I am in love with this place! I went there to meet with some friends. We all agreed that it is the absolute best place!! The drinks were really good. I had a mocha iced coffee that was out of this world! I would recommend anyone going over to the Fountain Square area to stop in for a great drink and some serenity!

    The banner outside stating “we are on indigenous land” is completely requiring an utter mind melt and cognitive dissonance to the highest degree. To hold this position honestly and posit this genuinely, you would HAVE to realize and acknowledge that if the “stolen” or “indigenous” land you are on is something you actually believe…your business shouldn’t exist from the moral stance your attempting to take. This level of ignorance is what will topple the West, and therefore your freedom to even OWN your own business. Virtue signaling at its highest, and will never frequent again.

    Friendly and spacious. I was able to take my double stroller in and park it out of the way. Everyone was super helpful and approachable and made my first adventure out of the house with two babies a very positive experience.

  • 5/5 Morgan Galloway D. 10 months ago on Google
    Incredible coffee and responsibly sourced! Best coffee shop in Indianapolis. Fletcher blend is a 10/10. Pretty sure any bad ratings of CFCC are from bigots who simply don't appreciate their promotion social justice and queer friendly atmosphere. 🤷

  • 5/5 Stuart Ross J. 10 months ago on Google
    I've lived in Indy for the past 6 years and still think the coffee here is the best I've had. I've always tried to like tinker but I feel like the single origins at Calvin Fletchers are so balanced. Highly recommend a coffee here and a pastry from Amelia's next door.

  • 5/5 Josh B. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome coffee, chill vibe, friendly staff. Seems like a great place to get some work done. Love that they support non-profits. 🖤

  • 5/5 Heidi O. 1 year ago on Google
    Best coffee I’ve ever had in my 30 years of living. The coffee beans themselves taste and smell utterly delicious. Every drink is consistent and never disappoints. Highly recommend.

    One more gem near Indianapolis downtown! Perfect place to work, has a casual vibe and such delicious coffee! The seasonal stocking stuffer Latte - chocolate and orange had fresh orange zest and thick, rich chocolate combining to be a divine citrusy choco delight. Was a flavor bomb with each sip. The masala latte wasn’t too strong on the palate although it had all the spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, clove, ginger and nutmeg. The coffee house was out of any pastries at 12pm today which was a bummer since we were famished but the coffee was so good I was a happy caffeine gal! I haven’t tried the drip coffee although there were many customers who came in just for the coffee beans - I will try that the next time. This is one of the unique coffee gems in Indiana! My vote!

    Great atmosphere and meeting place. Have philosophized, strategized, and caught up with friends and colleagues many times at Calvin's. Coffee is great. Service has never been anything less than superior. A real gem in the community. Thank you Calvin Fletcher! Well done. Try it! You will definitely like it!

    I went there on a Friday afternoon to have coffee and do some work. Place was full. Coffee is very good and strong. There was No much pastries left but i was there around 1pm. I loved the atmosphere and people there where so friendly. Recommend

  • 4/5 Ashesh G. 7 years ago on Google
    A great place to grab some coffee and get your work done. Also good for small groups or for a small meetup. Has a good collection of books and paintings. The coffee is good, but can be improved upon. This place is usually crowded in the evenings. Check out their monthly specials, they are usually good. And if you are hungry, they have some good sandwich options.

  • 4/5 Marc A. 4 years ago on Google
    Quite possibly the best cinnamon roll ever. Soft, flaky pastry, very well buttered, with just the right amount of cinnamon and sugar. Passable egg & sausage croissant and excellent pour-over coffee. Friendly and competent staff. Nice, quiet ambiance. 1950s building with understated, unpretentious decor. Busy, as a good place should be, but not crowded, and somehow still relatively calm. Exactly what I like in a coffeehouse. A solid 4-1/2 star experience. Probably a 5 if the breakfast sandwich had been as good as the cinnamon roll.

  • 5/5 Jerry 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious latte and scone. Also really nice location to hang out or work.

  • 5/5 Jaime R. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice place to get coffee. My favorite here is the Chai latte with oat milk (the Chai mix does contain milk). The staff is really accommodating. They are animal friendly so beware if you are scared of dogs. Enjoy your drink!

  • 5/5 Hanna R. 1 year ago on Google
    When I say this place has the best dirty chai you will ever sip, I MEAN IT! None compare anywhere. Also, I love the relaxed vibe at CF. I appreciate that the space is authentic and not flashy. It isn't trying to keep up with the trends; it has its own timeless aesthetic that draws you in. Oh, and the baristas are always so welcoming. Favorite coffee shop in town!

  • 5/5 Anna O. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a great experience! The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the drinks were really good! They have basic options as well as interesting seasonal creations. I took mine to go, but they have ample seating, free wifi, and nice natural lighting. I loved it!
