I really love this coffee shop to get work done..there are lots of tables both inside and outside, comfy seats, and it's not too noisy. There's also plenty of parking available. They had an ube matcha special so my hopes were high for the plain matcha latte, but I was quite disappointed. If you're going, stick to coffee! read more

This is the cutest little coffee shop in the Broad Ripple area. The drinks were delicious and not outrageous. The shop is cute and cozy. The parking was super simple! I wish I would have gotten a pic of our drinks. My daughter had an açaí strawberry lemonade and I had the seasonal strawberry special. So delicious! read more

My all time favorite coffee shop. I always tell my clients about the carmilla latte. Whenever I need a pick me up it's my go to!

Cute inside. Lots of seating. Lots of folks who seemed to be working or taking meetings. What we got: Cappuccino - Nice strong coffee flavor. Not too sweet. Not the best foam, but I can overlook it because the coffee wasn't weak. My preference is a dark roast--so take that as you will. Banana Nut Muffin & Better Morning Muffin - Kid-approved. Nice crispy muffin top, but fluffy inside. Not super sweet. Idk what goes into the better morning muffin but we liked all the textures in it. read more

The long-time standard among Indy coffee shops, this is the best I know in town for working or having meetings. The space is roomy and well-set up, with two- and four-top tables, a padded banquet against one wall, and a large library table you can spread out at (if you can get it). Sound levels are good (the music isn't great, sometimes repetitive and predictable jazz or 70s hits, but it's at the right setting of audible but not distracting). Outside tables get a shifting mix of sun and shade as they day passes. So, yes, it's the best coffee shop for work. Unfortunately it is not the best coffee shop for anything else. The coffee is generally fair; espresso drinks are inconsistent and never get the creamy richness a good cappuccino or latte ought to have. They use a variety of good beans that the company roasts at their 52nd street plant, but for straight-ahead drip coffee they brew it overly strong, on the Starbucks model. And the vibe is impersonal; no one has ever described it as "fun," I'd wager. I've been there twice a week for probably ten years, and among the current staff, no one has ever asked my name or obviously acknowledged recognizing me. There was a lot of staff turnover a few years ago, and the current staff -- maybe I'm projecting here -- but they seem kind of downtrodden. It's a busy place, hard work, and I get the impression that ownership/upper management doesn't do much to make the staff's lives livable. read more

Hubbard and Cravens Coffe run this morning! Super cute inside. Such a wide variety of coffee beans you can buy! - Lindsey got an Americano with macadamia nut milk. Her review: "Good quality beans. Very strong. Macadamia nut milk was very creamy, perfect amount of milk. Not bitter at all." - I got the pumpkin pie latte with macadamia nut milk. It was so yummy- perfect amount of pumpkin flavor & sweetness. Would definitely come here again! Shout out to our fabulous barista Serae! read more

Hubbard & Cravens Coffee - The Cubist - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I loved the atmosphere and look of the shop. It had a balanced vibe on the Friday morning I was there - a mix of college students, professionals, and families. I'm more of a tea drinker than coffee, so I was happy to see the variety of leaves they offered. However, I went with a black iced tea this morning and indulged in a Lemon Rosemary scone. It was the perfect balance of sweet and savory without feeling too heavy for a morning treat. The barista (Hannah) was also super friendly and knowledgeable about the wares, and I appreciated that she didn't make me feel rushed to order as I asked a couple of questions. read more

How have I not reviewed this place before? Phenomenally high quality coffee, beautifully roasted espresso drinks, and even the specialty drinks like the Healthy Elephant are well done. Add banana to the Healthy Elephant. You'll love it. read more

Lovely coffee and tea shop with lots of variety of brews. I found the staff to be very friendly, and they were getting orders out quickly. I would particularly recommend their seasonal coffee and their large selection of hot teas. Be careful with you tea as they brew it quite hot! I personally had to put some ice cubes in mine to cool it down. read more

This is my go-to study place. The ambiance is perfect for reading, writing an essay, or studying. My drink is good every time, and their bakery items are amazing. If you want those, you need to get there somewhat early, especially on the weekends. The baristas are always kind, and some even remember my go-to drink. Hubbard is an Indy classic! read more

I love this cafe. Quiet, so chill, friendly staff. I saw customers of all ages enjoying their cup of coffee here and I just recalled liked the atmosphere. What I also liked about them is they have Cafe Au Lait I'm addition to cafe latte! There were about 5 people waiting to get their drinks but mine did not take long. Super satisfied! read more

I love Hubbard & Cravens. My only complaint is that there isn't one right by my house (although, I would definitely spend all my money on coffee if there was!) I always experience great, quick service when I visit and my drink is always excellent. I also feel good about supporting a local business when I go. Win, win! read more

I ran into this café by chance as I was running some errands in the same neighbourhood a few days ago. Well ! I'd say this coffee shop is a gem in Indy and you may ask Y ! Quality of coffee beans and roasting plus barista skills for the Latte Art lovers in particular, these preceding factors are the fundamentals to the coffee lovers. The service was excellent, plus the variety of coffee served and the ambiance was very pleasing. So, I'd probably say that this café is a must for coffee lovers! To be back again !? For sure big YUP ! read more

Hubbard & Cravens Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Hubbard & Cravens is a classic coffee shop with many locations across Indy. The cozy and welcoming environment makes it a go-to for getting work done or meeting with a friend while tasting delicious, high-quality coffees. As a regular coffee drinker, I can say that Hubbard & Cravens truly has some of the best tasting coffee in Indy. From its "healthy elephant" espresso banana smoothie to its classic oat milk latte, there is not much to go wrong with when choosing an order. Along with coffee, the coffee shop offers everything from fresh juices and smoothies to breakfast sandwiches. The relaxing and homey feel of Hubbard & Cravens is the perfect atmosphere for productive studying or remote work. The soft coffee shop jazz music and quiet murmur of voices creates background noise that is not overly distracting. There is plenty of comfortable seating, table space and outlets for any and all activities. This visit to Hubbard & Cravens, I ordered an oat milk latte. With just the right ratio of espresso and oat milk, Hubbard & Cravens' latte stands out from many other coffee shops I have tried. I sat at a table right next to the window, giving me enough natural light to stay awake and ready to get work done. For the coffee and homey environment, Hubbard & Cravens continues to be my go-to coffee shop. read more

No mugs, only to-go cups, lots of seating options, good study place, but does get very loud.

Great coffee shop! There were tables inside & outside and lots of people posted up working on their laptops, which is always a good sign. I ordered a "shaker" which was coffee concentrate & half & half then shaken all up. It was pleasantly delicious! I'm a big fan of their iced coffees so this was a "twist" on that. They have some small food bites & sell their coffee to brew at home as well. read more

nice to revisit one of the OG of cofffee shops. The space look sgreat nd is comfy. I hit hard knocking off 2 stars due to no mugs for in house drip drinkers, citing covid.........??? I spend every morning in a coffee shop working remote. All others have mugs read more

Amazing! The barista Hannah was great and she suggested the love potion latte and it was so yummy! The staff was so nice and that was the best coffee I had in a while! read more

The coffee shop gods smiled upon me during my first visit, and granted me an open table at which I could open up my laptop and work like I had planned. The place was super busy and all the tables were full, but somehow I managed to snag one. And I can see how this Hubbard & Cravens is busy: They have good beverages, good food, and very quick and friendly service. I got the Ginger and Lemongrass Iced Tea, which was one of their two decaffeinated iced tea options (the other was Raspberry Hibiscus). I also got a readymade chicken wrap, which was really good. By the time I showed up (which was around lunchtime), the baked goods case was pretty bare. Apparently, their baked goods go quickly, according to what the friendly guy behind the counter told me. So if you want a muffin or scone, it's probably best to get one in the morning! Parking is plentiful, and there is even parking in the back. WiFi is free (just ask them for the password!). read more

I was in the area for a class, and had an hour to kill and a hungry belly. Yelp suggested Hubbard & Cravens for lunch and it also had easily accessible parking during lunch hour. So it was Hubbard for the win. I instantly loved the relaxed, cozy vibe of the place. While it looks small from the outside, there are plenty of tables. And of course it has that heavenly coffee shop smell. The guy that took care of me was really friendly. I let him know it was my first time visiting and asked for suggestions on tea and light lunches. He was really helpful and I ended up with a raspberry hibiscus tea and a veggie and feta wrap. Lunch rush must have just ended, but the place was still very clean and tidy. There were plenty of tables for me to pick from, all of them clean. I got a comfy little spot by the window and enjoyed my lunch while I read. The tea was great, but the wrap wasn't my favorite. I would have preferred more veggie and a little less feta, but that's just me. I think adding cucumber to it would make it perfect. The feta was just a bit to strong for my tastes. One half of the wrap filled me up. I liked the place well enough that I'm interested in going back and trying out some other items and coffee. read more

Really did enjoy the coffee from this shop. Unfortunately by the time that I got to my car (right after ordering) the paper straw had falling apart. I totally recommend this place however their drink cups should either be a sippy cup style or have a different type of biodegradable straw. Otherwise will totally be back for more! read more

Loved the coffee! We got it to go but the place seems really nice. Service was great.

It had been years since I'd been to this location. I usually get their oatmilk latte at the Broadripple farmers market and it's always delicious. I was in the area and knew I wanted to stop and get something from their seasonal menu. I went with the Winter Wonder Latte- Hollander white chocolate, brown sugar, espresso and your choice of milk (I went with oat). It tasted like Christmas in a cup! I got my husband their seasonal Krismasi holiday blend coffee, which is a medium roast. He really enjoyed it and we both said we'd order the drinks we got again. The man who took my order and the woman who made my drink were very friendly. There is plenty of seating for people who want to work or meet up with friends. I would highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area! read more

Hubbard & Cravens feels like a quaint, city coffee shop where you can go and work, grab some artisanal coffees with friends, host a quick business meeting, or simply have a meal with yourself. It is everything that Starbucks is NOT - relaxed, calm, and inviting. I used to work at H&C in Carmel and had the best time! All the drinks are to-die for and unbelievably fresh, as is the food on offer (I can vouch for that)! The other locations are equally charming and less pretentious, perfect for a 20-something. I've tried every drink on the menu and have loved it, including the popular Elephant drink. I'd also vouch for the food, including this extremely picturesque veggie sandwich. The food is fresh and of high quality and can really fill you up! They also have some great snacks to grab-and-go that fit every dietary requirement (gluten-free, vegan, Paleo, whole 30, etc.). read more

The food is really good. The inside is pretty clean, but a little bland. The customer service is usually good.

The place looks really good and modern, very chill service is below mid, coffee is completely trash!!!

Before my latest visit to Hubbard & Cravens, I was debating whether I wanted to stick with my usual coffee order (an Americano), or if I wanted to switch it up. After looking at other reviews and pictures that were posted, I continued to see a drink that was frequently posted about, but I had no idea what was in it - The Happy Elephant. I went to the H & C website to see what it was all about. If I wasn't already intrigued by all of the pictures and reviews that I saw on Yelp, the description on the website convinced me that I would be working from H & C in the afternoon, while I enjoyed this fine beverage. The Happy Elephant is a seasonal drink (that they brought back due to popular demand), and is a frozen melmosa that is made with espresso, almond milk, honey, unsweetened cocoa and natural peanut butter - no added sugar, full of antioxidants, and a great source of protein. I couldn't wait to try it - it was made with all the flavors I love. When I went to order The Happy Elephant, I asked the barista if they had tried it and what their thoughts were. Without hesitation, the barista said that it was so good and I would love it. I ordered a small, which cost me around $4.75. When my drink was made the barista told me that she made too much and was giving me a medium instead, and boy was I happy she did. One sip, and I was in love. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and richness, all while hitting my soft spot for peanut butter. It was also the perfect afternoon snack (that also contained caffeine!) - filling enough to keep me going, but not enough to weigh me down. I loved this drink so much that I have wanted to come back every day just to get it again, and no, I don't think I would ever get tired of it! It was worth every penny, and I honestly wish they would rename it "The Happy Jayne" because I am just that obsessed with it. read more

Hubbard's and cravens is a super nice coffee spot! I visited around 8:30 and all the tables were full but I snagged a comfy chair with a side table to do some work. The feel is definitely sort of posh, feels more like "uptown" and not so much "downtown" which I'm not a super fan of but thats just my opinion some people love that! My mint tea was good but this shop looks more like a Starbucks than a hometown coffee shop. I will say there were lots of people talking and smiling and shaking hands, and that was super nice just as far as vibes go! I'll visit again maybe around slower hours. read more

It seemed only appropriate that when I was meeting a student from nearby Butler University that I would make sure our meeting was at a locally owned coffee joint and that it would also allow me to snag a new Yelp review. I wasn't sure I hadn't reviewed Hubbard & Cravens, I believe I'd actually been here one time previously, but a quick check let me know that this place tucked away in a small strip center at 49th & Penn would qualify. I never know if this is considered Meridian-Kessler or Butler-Tarkington, but what I do know is that this is a residential area of mostly middle-to-upper income families and older couples. My coffee companion for this occasion also shared that this was her first time at this location. Hubbard & Cravens started in 1991 in Indy. They've got 4 Indy locations, though they sell their coffee/tea products nationwide. This location is intimate, though a bit larger than you might expect. The layout is kind of tight, especially if you're in a wheelchair, but I couldn't help but notice that probably 75% of the tables could easily be wheelchair friendly. The parking lot is also quite small with two accessible parking spots to the back of the building. They are ADA compliant and a curb cut goes up to the sidewalk. The doorway is pretty workable - a touch heavy, but also clearly within visibility of many people. On this visit, the order counter was toward the back - to their credit, they did have a small sign out letting you know the front counter was closed. The guy who took my order was friendly - I wouldn't quite say hospitable, but the service was fine. The tables were completely full, a bit disconcerting since I was supposed to meet with someone and it was likely we'd need room to either write and/or record the conversation. However, it was only a few minutes before a table opened up that also happened to be wheelchair friendly. The tables are pretty close to one another, a little too close but everyone seems used to it and they were all friendly. That said, if you're wanting to have a private conversation that's not very likely here. Hubbard & Cravens offers free wifi - including 5G, though you'll need to ask for the password. They offer a wide variety of coffee and tea type products including the usual specialty products. I ordered a large cold brew iced coffee that was served up in a clear plastic solo cup. As I recall, the price was $3.65. The prices seemed reasonable to me - certainly less than a certain other national vendor we won't name. The coffee itself? I have to be honest. I didn't particularly care for it. It tasted a touch watered down and I doubt I'd order it again. However, they have enough other products that I'd easily return and order something else. I agree with some observations that there's a bit of a corporate vibe here. I also think Hubbard & Cravens lacks the warmth that screams out "Come back." I would easily come back if in the area, but nothing about the experience made me think of this as a destination spot. Overall, this was a solid 4-star experience. I really never considered any other rating. While I wasn't thrilled with the product ordered, I didn't dislike it. I enjoyed the atmosphere and appreciated the efforts toward accessibility. While not in my upper tier for local coffee shops, it's easily one I would return to and it's close enough to my home that returning is a realistic option. read more

I thought that I liked Hubbard and Cravens in the Broad Ripple Village--but this space is much better! The parking situation is better and there is more space inside to get work done.
