Great coffee, great hidden location (relatively) near campus free from the undergrads!! Had an iced London fog, which was tasty and made from actual tea, not a mix. Staff is friendly and gets food and drinks out fast, so even if you are just stopping for a quick To go drink this place is great! read more

Fuel - Iced Medium London Fog - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

Best spicy hot chocolate in town. And their coffee is freshly roasted and delicious. Friendly owner/barista, who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Lovely atmosphere and kid friendly. Also I love my hot chocolate HOT and they always make it extra hot for me :-) Thank you, Colleen! read more

Kitchen was closed when we stopped here so could only get bagels and beverages. Disappointing for a Sunday morning. Looks like a great place to hang out between classes. read more

Favorite coffee house here - cover all bases! Great coffee and vibe with unique yummy food

Cute location. Good breakfast, but not a huge plate. A bit pricey for the quantity of food served

Good tasting chai and nice breakfast sandwich. Was clueless as to whether I should bus my own table or if they did it. When I asked, a young lady was all flustered but rushed over saying she would get it. Still no idea if it was her job or mine. read more

The location and atmosphere of this coffee shop are nice. The outside is a very cool looking building and the inside was decorated very nice for Christmas time. I got a peppermint bark latte and it was very good, I don't usually get hot coffee but I thought I would give it a chance and I was very glad that I did. The only reason I gave them 4 instead of 5 stars is because the staff, one girl in particular. She was acting childish and made us feel unwelcome by rolling her eyes when she thought we weren't looking because we didn't know what to order right away, she made it seem like her job was the worst. Despite that, I still recommend going here because it's very good coffee! read more

I went to this new location on a recent Saturday morning and WOW, what a mess. The three people working were disorganized, having LOADS of personal chatter while people waited, and above all, they were unfriendly and dismissive of customers just trying to get a cup of coffee. Horrible attitude, horrible customer service AND on top of that.. my coffee wasn't right. How hard can it be to simply make a cappuccino ?? almost $20 for 2 drinks and a muffin plus a very much UNDESERVED tip which was given BEFORE the order was received. And above all, I left feeling angry and ripped off. The owner better get involved or this place is going under. read more

We had a great drip brew cup of El Salvador and a red eye. The coffee was excellent. I prefer African origin beans and was surprised by how much I enjoyed the El Salvador. The espresso was smooth, not bitter. We ordered to go and service was quick and friendly. The cream and sugar station was clean and included simple syrup in a tidy dispenser. Prices were above average for espresso drinks compared to some third wave cafes but worthwhile if you plan to linger over a latte or use the Internet. Cozy comfortable setting. I will definitely be back when in Lafayette. read more

Fuel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

Nice alternative from the coffee chains. We enjoyed the quiche and the oatmeal. Would definitely return if we pass through again.

Every time I visit Fuel, it's a wonderful experience. There are plenty of tables and chairs, so seating is never a problem. The atmosphere is charming and cozy- perfect for a coffee shop! (My favorite table is right in the window- perfect for people watching.) The staff is always super friendly and helpful with suggestions. It's a great spot to meet up with a friend, have a work meeting, or just hang out with your lap top! The coffee is delicious (try the Dirty Ivan!) and their food is amazing and homemade. The quiche never disappoints for breakfast. I'd highly recommend visiting Fuel. It's even super convenient for coffee on the go! Multiple mornings I've swung by (parking on Main Street is easy and available in the AM) to grab a drip coffee on my way to work. It never takes more than 5 minutes! read more

Your internet password is "glutenfree" ... are you serious?!?! Poking fun at your customers' disabilities is immature and stupid. Would you call a donut shop "diabetes" or "insulin"? If you ran a gym, would you call it "asthma"? I mean, sure, gluten intolerance is more of an identity than a disease -- at least for some. But for some it's very real. You should be ashamed of yourself. read more

The best!! Great food, great service and wonderful atmosphere!!...I have recommended Fuel to several friends and all just love it...

Fantastic little shop in downtown Lafayette. Nice decor and best of all, delicious nitro cold brew! Cold brew with a sweet, foamy top. Only downside, it's only offered in 10 oz cups. Make sure to try it without ice and don't use a straw. I will definitely make this a regular stop in Lafayette. read more

Stopped by for breakfast. Great breakfast burrito. Good place for a black coffee drinker - three roasts available. Nice decor.

The staff is as warm in the spice in my FuelJack! I appreciate their menu: every kind of typical espresso drink, plus options for a twist on flavors. Come with your peeps, or with your books. read more

Amazing chai latte and friendly service! Will definitely visit this coffee shop again. read more

Fuel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

Decent coffee...not great...friendly people..new owners so different beans...I preferred the Killer Beans that was sold under the previous owner when it was K. Dees coffee shop. The bagged beans they now sell seem to be inferior in quality. Meh. Would I go again? Maybe but I wouldnt go out of my way for it....and I know what I am talking about...I've been roasting my own beans for over ten years. All their roasts and blends seem fairly one dimensional and most seem to taste similar to Charbucks dark roasts The Dirty Ivan is probably the best item on the menu though read more

I'm updating my review, because the past few visits have been great. The newish lunch menu has nice options that are well prepared, and the baristas have been providing great service. This still isn't the venue for a quick cup of coffee and/or breakfast, because it will take 10 minutes minimum to get an order, so make sure to adjust your expectations accordingly. If you are looking for a place to socialize, work, or relax where time is no issue, community takes priority, and you really don't care if they swap your order from time to time, it's a great little coffee shop. Coffee is tasty, pastries are decent, and prices are moderate. read more

Awesome location and love the downtown scene. Also I like to support and see coffee/cafe spots around. They have an area inside for kids to play equipped with toys and all! Great vibes inside but never really like the drinks, they are a little flat and bland. I would definitely recommend many other coffee spots for drinks than here but if you are looking for a place to study or unwind this could be it. read more

We've been here and the other Furl location many times. Decided it is past time to write a review. We love Fuel. Food is great as well as the selection. Coffee is excellent. Atmosphere is inviting. And the staff super helpful and friendly. My husband and I highly recommend Fuel. You won't be disappointed. read more

The coffee's good, but cappucinos are so dry... Give a lattecino (with more milk) a try! Wifi works well, and it's more or less calm- till the band fired up at 5 with some folk songs. Staff are nice and friendly-seem to be chill. I give it only 4.25 stars without that extra thrill. Sandwiches and snacks, even pancakes too- come on down for caffeine or just to refuel! read more

Per the reviews on here, I tried the banana foster latte & it was very good! Great place for meetings. read more

Lafayette, IN has a lot of coffee shops, but this has to be one of the best! The coffee is phenomenal, the food scrumptious, and the barista's remember my name, drink, and how I like my food. My two favorite drinks there are an Iced vanilla latte (when it's hot) and a Cortado (when it's cold). The latter of the two drinks isn't even on the menu, but they make it at request (another thing I love about Fuel). My two favorite foods served there are their in-house-made breakfast sandwich and their in-house-made meatball sub. If I could afford it, I would get these two items everyday! If you haven't tried it, you'd better! read more

Lovely location, my favorite "go to and stay" coffee shop in Lafayette. They love their coffee and have delicious food items on their menu. The atmosphere there is great and you can see it is popular as it mostly packed. If you are downtown during the first half of the day and crave coffee and a place to linger, go there! read more

I went there and enjoyed it...but saw several times that she would approach younger people and ask them to leave the coffee shop if they stayed for "too long." They would look helplessly around, confused, and sort of pick up their stuff and leave. I know there's no business policies against this, but it seemed sort of an odd thing to do to your costumers. When I asked her about it, she said in controlled anger, "This isn't a library, it's a coffee shop. I need to help people have common sense. One time a girl just bought tea and she stayed at a table for 2.5 hours." I am wondering how she "chooses" the people that need to leave ....just consider this before going. I think she could do it in a nicer way by putting signs saying "Consider giving up your table after several hours or during hours of high customer traffic." read more

This is one of the most amazing coffee houses of all time. The coffee was excellent and this college town quality business is something to behold. Fuel's coffee in Lafayette is much better tha the Milwaukee version of Fuel which is more of a yuppie barnburner of a hangout and nothing of a traditional coffee house experience one would come to expect form a coffee house pushing human fuel caffeine experiences. read more

I love everything about this coffee shop. The owner is usually there, the workers are fast and efficient and help each other, most of the staff is very friendly, the decor is quaint, artsy, and very downtown feel, and most importantly the coffee is unique and delicious. Most of the time they have flavors no one else has. read more

This is a fantastic local coffee shop. The coffee is made locally and is great. Local food options too. The shop is clean, bright, and very inviting. The noise level wasn't bad, easy place to work or meet a friend for a coffee. read more

Loved it! Awesome coffee shop with a great looking menu. So far I've only had the vanilla latte but it convinced me to come back for more and for food. Excited to become a regular at this place! read more

I really like this place. I tried the Chai Masada pumpkin flavor. It was really good. I have not had much experience tasting tea with milk, I'm becoming a fan. The atmosphere is good too. The entertainment is a great touch to the abiance. I will definitely be back. read more

I thought I was going into another every day coffee shop when I stopped by fuel for a cup of joe, but I was mistaken. I was first taken back by the atmosphere of the establishment... Becca, my gal, and I instantly fell in love with the warmth and character of the place. When taking our order, we both were happily overwhelmed with smiles from the staff as they helped us create the perfect order for our morning together. Then, as if they didn't do enough already, we wanted refills on our drinks and joked about getting a 72% filling on our original beverages, but this joke turned into a magical reality when the man with the mane of a great lion helped fill this order. After a short couple minutes, this fantastic individual came to our table and dropped off a cup that was weighed to have EXACTLY 72% of hot water within it's warm structure. Well done, sir, well done. To put Fuel into words is an impossible task... but to those who are trying to have a flawless experience with a group or alone at a place that is enjoyable to everyone involved, you have certainly found your stop! 10/10 would recommend to a friend AND stranger :) read more

This place is the best! The customer service is phenomenal- friendly and patient even while busy. The ambience is cozy (yay for working fireplaces!) and there are spare board games to play. I highly recommend their breakfast sandwich or apple pancakes. I crave them all week and love it when I have time on the weekends to hang out here for a few hours. read more

Highly recommend this coffee shop for a day date, study session, or just to relax! Banana Foster - white expresso latte...need I say more! I'm not a huge fan of coffee and was hesitant when this was a recommendation, however I would most definitely go back for this drink alone! Plus staff are very helpful for us indecisive people! I've heard amazing things about their everyseed bagels and look forward to trying them next time I'm in Lafayette! Nitro cold brewed coffee is also an option which my friend enjoyed with a little simple syrup and honey! Looking forward to going back and trying their food options, bagels, baked goods, sandwiches as well! Love Fuel! read more

Great atmosphere, always friendly staff, great coffee! Appreciate the menu, nice variety of simple healthy options... or a big fat cinnamon bun! Would recommend it for a nice lazy morning on Main Street. read more

Wonderful environment. Fancy coffee drinks. Good food.

Went to Fuel for lunch with friends. I got the turkey avocado club with chips (choice of takis or ruffles) and a cookie. My friends got pancakes and a breakfast burrito and each got a latte. The turkey sandwich was okay not great, there was a chunk of bacon that was inedible so I had to spit it out. The chocolate chip cookie was fantastic however. In general, it seemed overpriced, it was $2.60 for a small drip coffee (more expensive than sbucks and panera). However, I think they roast their own beans, so I guess it's quality. Friends seemed to like their lattes, but they are not very picky. Super jealous of the breakfast burrito though as it looked delicious. I will probably give it another chance. Better than Greyhouse in my opinion. 3.5/5 read more

My favorite coffee shop in Lafayette. It reminds me of some place that I would visit while in Denver or Seattle. Their food and desserts are house made, the owner is a wonderful woman, and they are currently working on roasting their own beans. The prices are good as well! The atmosphere is great for studying or relaxing with a friend over your favorite drink. Come here. It will be well worth your time. read more

My favorite Lafayette area coffee shop. The service is exceptional. Friendly and inviting. Lovely setting for a nice sit-down cup of coffee and a light bite. I also enjoy a take-out coffee from time to time. My favorite drink is the black eye. My favorite food is the quesadillas. read more
