A blend of bright Latin American coffees with a touch of fruit in the finish. Great as drip or any pourover! I NEVER would have thought I would have liked black coffee... but this one is SO SO SO Good! The Roaster I talked to at the event is so kind and fun and does just an amazing job roasting to make this coffee so good! This coffee can be purchased at Good EArth, Earth Fare, Market District, Green Bean Delivery, Goose the Market and more! GET YOUR DRINK ON!! YUM!

I love that they have…read moretaken an old building and re-purposed it but also calling it The Firehouse as a nod to its history. It is a bit challenging to find parking but there are a few spots in front. I parked down the street and walked which is always an option. There are a few stairs to get in but also a ramp, and the set up has a nice aisle like space for the line and plenty of tables and chairs. It can be quite loud so keep that in mind if you want a quieter reflection time, and maybe take it to go or sit outside. They have various food items but I absolutely LOVE their peanut butter energy balls! In fact that is why I came to this location as this is where the magic happens. They make them here and send them to other Tinker locations! They are the perfect blend of savory and a tad sweet and go super well with their coffee and/or London Fog tea. Yum! I will freely admit to buying all they had on hand, and now can enjoy them at home. Yay! It is a very busy spot so not the friendliest of staff, but assumed they were already hassled from the morning. It was a great spot to meet a friend and enjoy the patio and some tea/coffee. I would for sure go back and even bring a friend! In fact I've already mentioned it to several people as a potential meet up spot! Definitely something to enjoy!

It's bright, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed without trying too hard. The colorful mural alone is worth taking a minute to admire. The baristas were incredibly kind and never made me feel rushed while I debated what to order (a dangerous amount of responsibility before caffeine ). They happily walked me through the menu, and I ended up with the Zebra iced latte--which was smooth, perfectly balanced, and one of those drinks where you're disappointed when you reach the bottom of the cup. I skipped the pastries this visit, but after seeing the display case, I've already given myself an excuse to come back. Whether you're looking for a quiet place to work, catch up with a friend, or just enjoy a really good cup of coffee, Niyyah has that warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer. I'll definitely be back.

Mariam is located in one of the newer developments of Broad Ripple. Parking can be found in the garage within the building, but it's not nearly as cheap as street parking. The menu features a variety of Turkish baked goods and a few Turkish inspired beverages. You'll also find things like iced Matcha and Rose flavored lattes. Service was friendly and prompt despite it being a one woman show at the time. Overall, it was a positive experience. They had a handful of outlets which make it convenient for remote work. I think the only thing that was missing was a background music to create more of an atmosphere.

Both had no flavor and tasted like sweetened iced coffee with cream. There was zero flavor distinction between the two. I love supporting local but if I'm paying 16 dollars for two 16oz drinks I expect it to taste like something more than a regular iced coffee. The staff weren't rude but they also weren't friendly. I will say that it does look nice inside and seems to have a good amount of seating with artwork and natural lighting that adds to the atmosphere. Perhaps it was an off day but I'm not sure I'm willing to spend that kind of money only to be disappointed again.

I especially loved seeing a simple, recognizable ingredient list without a laundry list of preservatives. You really can taste the difference. The packaging may be almost as charming as the pies, with messages for everything from "Happy Anniversary" and "Congratulations" to "I'm Sorry" and "Happy Thanksgiving." Their message is exactly right: any day can be pie day! Pots & Pans Pie Co. is the cutest little spot, and we're already planning to stop again the next time we travel through Indianapolis on our way to or from Kentucky. Definitely worth the stop!

They offer a number of fresh baked fruit pies made with local ingredients. In addition, they have several savory options. I tried the apple cream cheese galette. The crust is buttery, flakey and melts in your mouth. The apples were fresh and deliciously tart. The cream cheese filling was subtle. I loved the galette. The pies disappear quickly, so you have to get there early for the best selection. Full size pies run $36-$40 dollars and are beautiful. The clerk is friendly and not pushy. They take cards or cash. I'll be a regular. The stand at the Farmers Market is super convenient for me.

There is some comfy seating, but I chose a table. There is interesting decor to admire while I wait. My Meatball Bahn Mi (sandwich) came out quickly and smelled super fresh. I love the blend of cilantro, carrots and jalapeños with the meatballs. The sauce is spicy sweet and the bread fresh and chewy. The sandwich is perfect. I wanted to try one of their mochi donuts or a smoothie, but I'm watching calories. I will be back a different day for an ubi mochi donut. Restrooms are clean and modern. Parking is easy in the large lot.
