IMHO, this is the best coffee shop in Angola. The coffee is great and the servers are even better. The entire team is always laughing and having fun and they have a wide age demographic on the team. It's great to see and sets the mood for the experience. The interior is well decorated and stylish. The scones are my favorite and I've not had a bad coffee there ever in the past 5 years. Two thumbs up. Way up!! read more

I really enjoyed the latte I had here! I went with an iced SF vanilla and cinnamon latte with almond milk. The flavors complimented each other and nothing was overpowering. The staff was super friendly and the space had lots of seating. Looking forward to coming back when we're in town for another lake weekend! read more

This place is awesome! I had previously been opting for the chain-coffee shops here in Angola until I drove by this place a few weeks back. They have some awesome and unique menu items. They have a drive-thru and a spacious dining room. Kait and I got coffee and I opted for the English Toffee Cold Brew -- YUM! I can't wait to go back! read more

Fast, friendly, and efficient service. Order my herbal tea latte and retrieved it less than 30 seconds after pulling up to the drive-thru window. I ordered a peppermint almond milk latte with vanilla syrup, and it was the perfect way to warm up in this Indiana cold. read more

Best coffee in the county!! Skip Starbucks and enjoy a MUCH better coffee and super local owners!

Love five lakes coffee! Their shop has a great atmosphere especially in Angola, Indiana. The employees are always very friendly!

I'm in the area for a hockey game and found this amazing place right down the street from Thunder Ice Arena. It was so much bigger then I expected and the service was exceptional!!! Inside was so clean and nicely decorated. I was greeted right away and when they found out I was a first timer the nice lady started making recommendations. I ended up with a breakfast sandwich and a large coffee. The egg and cheese bagel was AMAZING. It was fresh and the bagel was perfect! This place blows Starbucks and Biggby away!! Also in the restroom (which was so so clean) is the cutest baby changing set up! read more

Pricing structure is horrible. 2 years ago they had a small 12 oz iced drink for 3.86. 18 months later it was 5.85. 2 months ago changed the small to a 16 oz drink as a small and raised the price to 6.35. Now the small is a 20oz and it is 6.85. Messages him to voice concerns and was told it was to stay up with the market. Local Starbucks and found they offer the same drinks and in a small and for less than their price at five Lakes. It is simply a means to generate revenue by forcing your customers to pay more for something they don't want. Offered me a gift card for the hassle and I declined. read more

We just showed up 30 minutes before they closed. Which I know sucks. We went through the drive through to get just one coffee. They said "give us just a minute." Then proceeded to turn off everything and closed down with us just sitting there. Terrible customer service read more

I love the set up of this place. We stop by here after seeing a huge party for car show one weekend. They offer good coffee here and refreshing iced tea. Not a fan of the pastries though. Nevertheless, it is a good alternative to grab a drink or hang out to do work online. read more

Five Lakes Coffee - two cups of iced coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Angola, Indiana

Picture this: it's 8:50 PM and the coffee shop I got off the highway for is temporarily closed, even though they didn't bother to update their hours online. I scrambled to find another place to get some caffeine before getting back on the highway, preferably without driving further out of the way. The only other place in town, Five Lakes Coffee, was closing in 10 minutes. I decide to gamble and hoped that I could squeeze in an order of chai, arriving only five minutes before close. And boy was I in luck! The staff was pleasant and speedy. Coobie got me my tea without a hitch, even though I inconsiderately arrived so close to closing time! That man should get a raise. And you should stop by! The hot chai latte is excellent. read more

By far, the best coffee in town. Excellent made to order breakfast sandwiches. Very friendly and caring staff.

Lovely little coffee shop we visit every time we're in town. However today we were disappointed and disheartened to have our order taken by a young lady who had her mask barely covering her mouth and with no plexiglass shield in place. Thankfully the rest of the baristas were appropriately masked even though they were not face to face with the public. We're not from this area so maybe it is "normal" to have an unmarked couple order coffee and then proceed to speak to a barista barely 2 feet away for quite some time. I was appalled and discouraged. This is not how we get back to a normal existence! Please, let's work together to protect each other. read more

I was happy to find such a cool place to hang out for an hour. Imagine my joy when I found out it was BOGO day! Once a month they have it. It was my first time here so I got an americano and peach ginger ice tea. Both were great. Great service and nice decor. read more

I came here yesterday and got a large americano and it was perfect , today I ordered an x-large and it is really weak. I don't think they adjusted for the bigger size. I will come back but I am going to just get a regular brewed coffee. read more

Nice coffee and nice atmosphere. The staff is pleasant and helpful. I don't know what else to say but it says I need more characters so there read more

Good coffee, slightly higher prices then market average but coffee is still good, nice chairs inside to study or do work inside the shop

Walked in and said "hello, how are you?" to the cashier and she just stared at me, it seemed like she was MASSIVELY hungover, it was weird. The vanilla caramel latte itself is pretty decent and I always appreciate places that have oat milk read more

Traveling on I-80, spent the night in Angola, Indiana. Wanted a good cup of coffee and breakfast sandwich before we hit the road. We definitely found it at Five Lakes Coffee! My husband ordered the light roast coffee and, after one sip, ordered a 32 oz bag of their Tanzania coffee! Hubs had a bagel with sausage and egg, I had bacon and egg. Both were deliciously hot and fresh! My hot chai tea latte was perfect! This spot is now on our must stop as we travel I-80 frequently! read more

Great coffee, and on par with Starbucks. Solid drink and food options. Not as many drinks as your bigger coffee competitors. Over all I'd give it a 4.5/5 read more

Friendly happy baristas who give out SAMPLES!! I got an americano and kyle got a Cold Brew. He says it was a little better than average. The coffee has great flavor. The espresso machine was automatic which was a little disappointing but made consistent coffee. The area was big and open with comfy couches and open tables. We both got peanut butter cups and they were delicious!! read more

I just went into five lakes, and I'm very shocked. Wasn't even greeted when walked in, a girl named Avery made my drink and I noticed she used whole milk instead of the oat milk. So I asked her politely if she could remake it. She then rolled her eyes at me and proceeded to remake it. Then when she handed it to me, she said "here" and walked away. I'm sorry but that's not how customers should be treated at all! Didn't even tell me to have a goodnight. read more

Had a distinctly unpleasant visit to the Battle Creek store. I purchased a travel mug from the Meier's that houses the cafe. On the menu, there's a "coffee refill. 94 cents" the minor at the register tried to charge me full price ignoring my questions about the menu. His dad (the minor called him as such) completely ignored me as well until I started raising my voice when he finally explained that it was refills for a cup purchased that day.. I went ahead and purchased the refill do my mug at the price of a small regular cup. I shouldn't have rewarded their rudeness with a purchase, but I needed a cup. Also, went to the company website and there was no way to contact them anywhere on the site. read more

I worked at the Angola store for almost 4 years. I was wrote up for the first time a few weeks ago, due to rumors. I was told that I was "bullying" which was totally shocking, because I didn't bully anyone. A few coworkers just didn't like me for whatever reason and wanted to get me fired. It was good 3 years ago when I started off, but as soon as they hired the manager they have now things are going down hill. The pay is terrible, and you also will probably never get breaks. Unless you're working nights. I would work 8 hours with no breaks at all. They also started scheduling me less and less hours. When they found out I was leaving they couldn't care less, it almost seemed like they were happy I was leaving. They're turn over for employees is terrible, more and more are quitting. And they keep firing people for no reason. So if you're a regular expect to see less and less employees you loved to see. ` read more

Very nice place! Visited for the first time on 8/14/21 and was quite pleased. The nitro cold brew was good and there was an excellent selection of freshly roasted coffee beans! The staff was friendly and helpful and the store was very clean and spacious. read more

More commercial than authentic atmosphere, but cozy fireplace and plenty of seating. The employees were friendly. Various chocolate, coffee, fruit smoothies, chai (Oregon brand). Also a drive thru. read more

Their black coffee is terrible and their other drinks are purely sugar. Overpriced and slow.

My family and I are from the West coast where coffee is a big thing and new trends are always coming in. We love coffee and really wanted to find a nice place while we were on vacation on Lake James. We decided to try out Five Lakes. The interior is definitely nice and updated. Plenty of space to sit down and work if the tables weren't closed because of COVID. The coffee was less than great though. Apparently they roast their own beans but everything tasted burnt and overly sweet. The wait time was also very long considering how many staff they had working at the time. Overall the place and staff were very nice and it would be a good place to hang out, but don't go expecting the most amazing coffee. read more

I get coffee and treats here a lot, but today's service was absolutely horrible. They were extremely slow, and the people were just straight terrible. She was extremely rude to us and basically threw our coffee at us. Our total was 11.00 exactly, and I gave her a 10 and a 1, and she still proceeded to count it like 5 times before handing us our coffees that were sitting on the counter already. read more

Friendly staff, great, spacious interior with tons of seating. We ordered drinks and bagels, all of which were sensational. The smoothies were the bomb, the tea was tasty and the latte was not super sweet which was refreshing. All of our drinks were cold so no promises on hot drinks, but I have high expectations after this first visit. Felt more like Michigan than Indiana! read more

You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It's the price that's the problem. You're in Angola, not NYC.

Decent coffee but the pace of operations negates the quality. This is not the place to stop if your goal is timeliness. This is the place to stop if time is of no consequence. read more

This is a great coffee house. However, it would behoove the organization as a whole to think about really training their staff. Not always knowledgable & this goes for all locations. 1. A London fog is an Early Grey tea latte. However, A tea latte does NOT mean it is a London fog. They are not interchangeable. 2. Tea will steep in ANY hot liquid. You could put it in soup if it was hot enough & it will steep. Don't be afraid of putting a tea bag into steamed milk...not only is it delicious, it will steep JUST as though you were putting it into hot water. read more

I go here quite often always good service and rarely a bad drink. Best place in Angola for coffee with convenience. I still wish they would offer a larger size of cups Like a 32 oz would be nice. What can I say I love my coffee read more

I really like this place and make it a point to drive through anytime I'm close. The white chocolate mocha is always good and hot. This time I tried a 7 layer bar and was not disappointed. read more

Absolutely love this place. Way better then Starbucks. Only thing is the sizes arent as big as i like it but definitely come here a lot.

Super friendly staff and I love their coffee! Good selection of chocolates and sweets too. Free wifi and a big place to hang or maybe have a little meeting with friends or co workers. read more

Excellent coffee and friendly service. Worth going out of your way to stop here for takeout. Not a traditional coffee house. This is located in a tanning salon. read more

Better than Starbucks! The coffee was incredible, the staff was pleasant and helpful and the food was fresh and delicious. This will be our "go to spot" when we are in Angola. read more
