Discover hidden gems and popular spots for a caffeine boost. From small, indie shops to trendy, modern cafes, these coffee shops have something for everyone.
1. INDIE COFFEE ROASTERS
Indie Coffee Roasters is the perfect place to kick-start your day. At Indie Coffee Roasters, you’ll find five single-origin coffees on the menu — Amizade from Brazil, El Jaguar from Honduras, Palmera from Colombia, Finca Muxbal from Mexico, and Gasharu Washed from Rwanda. Each roast has a unique flavor profile, from El Jaguar’s surprising blend of dark chocolate and melon to Palmera’s decaf flavors of cinnamon and citrus.
2. ROSE & LOIS
Rose & Lois is a breath of fresh air in the Carmel community with bright, joyful energy. Designed to bring the community together, this one-of-a-kind Carmel coffee shop offers both inventive coffee drinks and scrumptious food selections. Their impressive menu includes a wide variety of hot and cold coffee and non-coffee options in a myriad of tempting flavors. Try one of their signature drinks like a Pistachi-Oat Latte or their take on a Starbucks Pink Drink called Sunrise. Those unsure what to try first can sample both a coffee and milk flight.
3. MANELE CAFÉ
Experience a taste of Hawaii in the heart of the Midwest with Manele Café. While fan favorites like nitro cold brew, iced coffee, and lattes are all available, drinks like Manele Mocha and Hawaiian Vanilla lattes offer an exciting twist. Honey Ginger Lemonade, Tropical Matcha Freeze, Banana Mocha Freeze, and local craft sodas all appeal to those trying to cut back on caffeine. If you find yourself missing the sun and summer when the weather in Indianapolis turns cold, turn to Manele Café for a refreshing pick-me-up.
4. JAVA HOUSE COFFEE BAR
Java House Coffee Bar offers an exclusively iced coffee menu. Java House soaks their coffee beans in cold water for 12 hours in order to craft excellent cold brews. If you’re craving a hot latte—or simply don’t enjoy iced coffee—have no fear, their cold brew tastes just as good warm. Java House locations (of which there are two in Carmel) offer a very warm, welcoming environment. Dark-themed, industrial-style decorating and exceptional staff make it the perfect place to bring your work and sit awhile.
5. CAFÉ PATACHOU
If you’re looking for a proper sit-down meal and a fantastic cup of coffee, Café Patachou is sure to deliver. They’ve garnered national accolades for their five-star menu and stellar community focus. Each dish is made to order, often with organic ingredients from local vendors. Their devotion to the community and crafting a warm, customer-focused setting makes for an ideal spot to connect with Carmel.
