Coffee shops, like used bookstores, are magical and encapsulating environments, overflowing with the scents of freshly brewed coffee and greetings from charming baristas.

There’s a special magic that comes from enjoying coffee at a local cafe. Coffee shops are places we work, where we relax, where we catch up with friends, where we meet new people.

And Indianapolis coffee shops embody all of this and so much more. We’re a community of amazing individuals who constantly lift each other up.

The goal of the Indianapolis Coffee Guide has always been simple: I want people to love local coffee as much as I do. And over time, this has really come together as a sort of love letter, from me to the coffee community in Indianapolis.
