    Great coffee shop in Beech Grove. I got a zebra mocha and a cookie. The cookie is from an amazing local Bakery, three birds. The zebra mocha was really good. It was very cozy inside and the baristas were friendly and got our order made quickly.

    Found a cute new (to me) little coffee shop today in Beech Grove. I typically order an Americano but felt like a cozy fall drink instead so tried the Honey Vanilla Latte (half sweet with oat milk). It's quite delicious! The space is cozy with a few tables and other sitting areas. Unfortunately I won't be able to hang out for long as there aren't many plugs - old building. So for me, great place to sit and chat with a friend, but not so much work.

    Mech, plants and adorable book glasses.

    What an adorable place! Our barista had an awesome mustache and was very personable. He brought us our order and continued our conversation about Riley children's hospital. We tried the chocolate banana bread was delicious and paired well with the seasonal bourbon brown sugar latte (subbed oat milk). Perfect place for a quick meet up, studying or even snuggling into a good book.

    This was my first time in the downtown Beech Grove area, and I've been wanting to check out this coffee shop. They have a large menu offering, and I enjoyed reading through all the seasonal drinks. I ordered an iced honey vanilla latte, and enjoyed it. I stopped in late afternoon to get some work done, and this seems like a very popular place for people in the community to hang out or work from.

    Cute sitting area!

    Such an adorable little coffee shop nestled in the heart of Beech Grove right on Main Street! Hubby and I frequent the Spaulding Jewelry shop located right across the street from Silver Linings- so one morning while dropping off a watch (we lost the pin trying to size it ourselves) I decided it was time to try some new Java. Okay, first of all, we all know the stories about Beech Grove, we've seen the Walmart video on the news. This isn't that Beech Grove. Main Street alone is the perfect picturesque small town street with tiny storefronts smushed together like in the olden days before big box stores. There on a quaint corner sits Silver Linings. There is a small sitting area out front perfect for people watching and a bit of light reading with the colorful chalk drawings out front. Once you step inside you're greeted with lovely eclectic furniture and decor perfect for reading a book. The quiet coffee shop also has pastries and cookies. I opted for the double fudge muffin and an iced vanilla latte. It was done in record time. Delicious and a great perk up. I can't wait for my sister to visit again because we will definitely stop here for a fix!

    A coworker suggested that we check out this place after lunch one day. She wanted to check out the plant pop up shop that was going on. I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in, I love the set up of the quotes, overall ambiance, as well as the coffee. They have some different options for coffee, and thankfully they office iced options for their drinks which was perfect because it's been so hot. I ended up getting the honey vanilla iced latee which was delicious! I loved this place and can't wait to go back to try more tasty coffee! I'm really excited for fall drinks!

    I stopped in to get a gift card, but the only ones available at the time were e-gift cards. So, I grabbed a mocha and it was delicious. A large, 20-ounce was just over $5. Staff were super friendly and engaging. The place is beyond cozy and cute. Lots of seating options, if you want to stay and enjoy your delicious coffee. I went to their website later and scored that e-gift card. The process was easy and it delivered instantly. I'll be back here.

    This little gem is exactly what I'm looking for in a coffee shop. I took two steps inside and felt…read morelike I was at home. The vibes are straight up moody, in the best way possible. Twinkle lights, a neon sign with the phrase "stay wild," plants everywhere and I mean everywhere! Little things that I noticed and loved included a table with a community puzzle and some board/card games, very cool artwork on the walls, and hints of Halloween (skeletons and skulls), my favorite. The community feeling was also very obvious. Everyone was friendly, there were so many cute dogs and people waving and saying hi to each other as they came and went. I loved it. Now, on to the coffee... I was going to be staying put for a while before jumping on the road for a three hour drive so I ended up getting two of their seasonal drinks and a pastry. I always go for the seasonal options and they had several good ones to try. I started with the "peelin' so good," a banana and caramel latte with strawberry drizzle. I opted to get it with oat milk. Oh my goodness, it was so good. You might question banana in a latte, but I've been seeing them pop up everywhere and it was delicious. I also got a babka pastry, which I had never heard of before. It's pretty much a braided roll mixed with a sticky bun. It had cinnamon in it and a syrup over it. I snacked on that while I was there and finished it in my car. Super tasty! Before I left I got the "beez nutz" latte because I knew I would need help staying awake while driving for three hours. It was a honey latte with a peanut butter cold foam. Also delicious. I sipped down every drop. This shop is the perfect mix of dark whimsy, community, and coffee. A special place indeed. Give them a visit!

They have a nice selection of gluten free options, and what we sampled was delicious. The girls were all so tickled with their Princess Tea lunch. They received crowns, and we couldn't help but notice that each girl received a color that matched their outfit. Having a selection of finger sandwiches and little sweet treats thrilled them just as much as having pots of tea to sample from their pretty little teacups. Even the smallest details were tended to. We enjoyed it so much, we quickly agreed to making this a regular girl date spot.

There is space to work and many people were on laptops, but I grabbed my drink to go. You'll have to go up a set of stairs to get to the coffee shop, so be mindful of that. It's also kind of warm - they had a bunch of loud fans going. I don't know if that's just because it's summertime and the building is old and harder to cool or if they had water damage from all the rain and are drying out. It didn't bother me but noting that in case it does bother others.

    Dear reader,…read more Bovaconti Coffee in Fountain Square remains one of my favourite coffee shops, and we stop there whenever we come to town. It is the sort of place that feels special the moment you walk in. A lot of people rave about the beautiful space, and quite right too. The shop has a gorgeous, old-world feel in a historic Fountain Square building, plenty of seating, and a lovely outdoor area that is very dog friendly. The staff always boast a delightful disposition that makes you want to smile and enjoy the rest of your day as well. As for the coffee, I love the iced Mayan Mocha. It is like a mocha with a kick and extra flavour depth, and it is absolutely delicious. The dark chocolate, honey, cinnamon, and cayenne give it a little warmth and complexity without losing the joy of a proper iced coffee treat. They also have some really high-end pastries to choose from. I love the lemon loaf, and some of the more complex, unique pastries make it feel a bit more elevated than the average coffee stop. Overall, it is clean, beautiful, welcoming, and always worth the return visit.

There's plenty of natural light, but also several cozier, dark areas perfect for coworking.

I usually choose something from their seasonal menu, and recently I tried the iced blueberry brown sugar matcha and it was amazing. *Free parking directly outside the building on Woodlawn Ave
