Coffee in Indy

2024/11/13 Edited to

... Read moreMy recent coffee explorations in Indianapolis have been quite the adventure, and I just had to share my thoughts on a couple of spots that caught my eye – and my taste buds! If you're searching for the best coffee shops in Indianapolis, you absolutely need to add these to your list. First up, Leviathan Bakehouse! Seriously, this place was 'fire,' as they say. Located right in the heart of Indianapolis, it’s not just a coffee shop; it’s a full-on bakery experience. When I walked in, the aroma of fresh bread and pastries was incredible. I ordered a classic latte, and it arrived with the most beautiful heart-shaped art – such a lovely touch! What really elevated my visit was pairing it with one of their famous croissant sandwiches. This wasn't just any croissant; it was generously filled with fresh greens and savory meat, making for the perfect breakfast or light lunch. The combination of the rich, perfectly brewed coffee and the flaky, buttery sandwich was unforgettable. It's the kind of place where you can comfortably settle in with a good book or catch up with friends. For anyone looking for 'Leviathan food' or a top-tier 'bakery place' in Indy, this is it. They truly excel at creating a cozy atmosphere alongside their delicious offerings. Next on my coffee journey was Blue Collar Coffee Co. I'd heard good things and was eager to try their drinks. I opted for their signature latte, which came topped with a generous swirl of whipped cream and those adorable small star-shaped sprinkles – so Instagrammable, right? While the aesthetic was spot on, I have to admit, for my personal preference, the latte leaned a little on the bitter side. I tend to prefer my lattes on the sweeter end, so I might ask for an extra pump of syrup next time! However, don't let my sweet tooth deter you. The coffee itself tasted high-quality, and the vibe of the place was totally unique. It felt like a hidden gem, perfect for those seeking a less conventional coffee experience. It’s definitely a spot worth checking out if you're exploring 'coffee shops downtown Indianapolis' and want to try something different. Their commitment to a strong, robust coffee profile is clear, and many will absolutely love it. Overall, Indianapolis has a fantastic coffee scene, and these two spots perfectly showcase the variety you can find. Whether you're craving a beautifully crafted latte with a gourmet pastry at a bustling bakery or a strong, authentic brew with fun toppings, Indy's coffee shops have something for everyone. Both Leviathan Bakehouse and Blue Collar Coffee Co. offer distinct experiences, making them must-visits for any coffee enthusiast exploring 'Indianapolis coffee' or even just searching for 'coffee near me' when in the city.

Some of the best pastries you can get near Indy 📍
If you are local to Indianapolis you should check out this spot! It’s technically in Greenwood, though it’s very close to Indy. It’s called Le Croissant French bakery, and it’s my favorite spot in the area to go to for pastries. My top recommendations are: 🥐- strawberry croissant 🥐- mix

If you are a lover of coffee, I highly recommend this coffee shop. It's called best friends, coffee & bagels and it is so good!! They are widely known for their cold brew flights though they have many more options to choose from. One of my favorite things to get is their bagel sandwiches

While we were Indianapolis, we found the coolest place called “Slick City” This was place was so cool and so unique! You get a mat and just have fun going down all these different slides. They are building a ton more so the next closest place will be in Charlotte NC in Fall of 2025 and Mt Juliet
