Such a great experience from the moment we walked in! We were immediately greeted with a warm welcome, which honestly sets the tone for everything. It felt genuine -- not forced -- and that made all the difference. The cashier was so kind and conversational while we checked out. She walked us through the flavors they offered and helped us decide without rushing us. That personal touch made it feel less like a transaction and more like a visit. We ended up ordering the London Fog and the Figgie Smalls..both were absolutely delicious. The London Fog was smooth and perfectly balanced, and the Figgie Smalls had such a unique, cozy flavor that we're already thinking about getting again. Great drinks, even better service. We'll definitely be back! read more

I met a friend yesterday at Indy Coffee Roasters (ICR). She wanted to check out the vibe and the coffee. We sat down for a conversation that turned out to be a lot longer than either of us had planned. The team at ICR was friendly and checked in regularly, but were never intrusive. My friend really enjoyed the coffee, and that says something because she's very picky! As good as the coffee and the ambiance of ICR were, the service provided by Elise and Katherine was the real star of the show. The decor is great, the vibe is chill, and the service is fantastic. I've yet to meet someone who tries the coffee at ICR and comes away unimpressed. Next time you are in Carmel, and you want a spot with great coffee, great service, and a quiet yet classy look, Indy Coffee Roasters is the place to be, and if you want to skip the crowds, this location is great! read more

Perfect holiday vibes and tasty coffee. As a bonus they also have a bakery in house. My partner and I had 2 pastries-the raspberry pistachio croissant and the orange cream croissant. Orange cream-perfectly sweet and the sugar glaze on the outside was divine. It reminded me of monkey bread but stepped up with the orange rind and the rich vanilla notes. Pistachio raspberry-crunchy layers of dough meet nutty pistachioness and raspberry jam. How can you go wrong! The coffee was pretty standard for me. Of course better than the mermaid we shall not name. The star of the show were the pastries as demonstrated by their description. Forgot to take a pic as we had to just delve in. Will be back! read more

I've tried Indie Coffee Roasters a couple of times, but this was my first time at this location. It is located in the North End Apartment complex. Unfortunately, there is no sign out front, only a decal on the door so it could be easily missed from the street. Free parking in the back, if there is a spot available. There is a good variety of seating options (booth, high and low top tables, reading chairs), but this place gets rather crowded so could use more. There is also some outdoor seating on a wraparound patio. My biggest gripe is that the only sweetener option outside of syrups is sugar in the raw. And when put into a cold drink, sugar in the raw is nearly impossible to dissolve so it leads to granulated sugar bits in each sip. It would be nice if they offered standard sweetener options, or just any options at all, like most coffee shops. read more

Indie Coffee Roasters is one of my favorite spots in Carmel. I love this place--the staff are the best, the atmosphere is great, and it has the kind of energy that makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile. The apartments nearby clearly help keep it busy, which adds to the feeling that it is a real neighborhood spot. Parking can be a little tough, but it is easily walkable for a lot of people, and having the bakery right there makes it an especially great place to work, meet up, or just hang out for a bit. read more

This continues to be one of my favorite spots! In the last year, they've added an organic matcha to the menu and I love that they have multiple alternative milks (coconut, almond, and soy I think?!). The seating situation is perfect for co-working since the lobby shares space with a local bakery and is the first floor or an apartment building. My only ask if that they put a sign out with the seasonal beverages described. The names are always listed on the sign with no description and I'm sure that the employees repeat themselves all day. I don't like holding up the line asking what everything is. :) read more

This is a really nice comfortable place to have a cup of coffee and chat or do a little work. It is a coffee bar so you order there and they bring it to your table. I ordered a latte. Sadly they did not have sugar free vanilla syrup so I opted for a bit of honey instead. The coffee was tasty and hot which I appreciated it. The area is large and they also have a charming outdoor patio area. Right across from the coffee bar is a pastry shop and their croissants looked delicious although I did not order anything. Service was good and although there was a line to order, I did receive my latte quickly. Will definitely be returning/ read more

I was amazed with how I was served sparkling with espresso! That blew me over! If you are a true coffee aficionado you know that sparkling water cleanses your palate to give the absolute best flavors of your espresso - rich, bold, fruity flavor!

It should not take over 20 minutes for a latte and a cappuccino. A disorganized mess.

Cute place, and bigger on the inside than expected. I got a matcha latte with oat milk and it was amazing. The service was good too. read more

I had been to the location on Main Street and loved that so had to check out this new location. It's in the bottom of an apartment complex, so it was a little confusing to find. It was really spacious inside and shared the space with Le Petit Gateau, so pastries were readily available. The London fog was delicious. It's not something I would normally get, but I loved it. They had a great variety of seating, so it was perfect for relaxing with a book on the couch, studying in the study room, or sitting in the booths with friends. I went on a Thursday and it was a great place to get some work done! The staff was super friendly and helpful. They bring your drink to you at your seat which I really appreciated. There's free street parking outside and single person restrooms that were very clean and modern. I can't wait to sit on their patio once it warms up a bit! read more

I'm so happy that Le Petit Gateau and Indie Coffee Roasters are in the same space! I've always loved the simplicity of the Indie Coffee Roasters menu. I typically order coffee first and then get a croissant. You typically have to wait a little bit to get your coffee and I am never in a rush when a nice, delicious coffee is brought out to me. I often take my daughter there and we enjoy sitting on the couch looking at the fireplace. There's lot of space and a couple of booths if you're wanting to work/study. The coffee is always delicious and when I'm in for a treat, their sweeter options are worth the indulgence! Everyone is super friendly and I'm so glad it's close to home. read more

Okay, hats off to the person who came up with the idea of opening a coffee shop inside an apartment complex! I've always been a big fan of indie coffee roasters but the downtown Carmel location never had parking, and I always had to turn back around (their coffee was my biggest craving in pregnancy and I hated that I couldn't find parking walking distance) so this new location really blew my mind!! It's super clean, amazing staff, and so much seating!! When do you ever go inside a coffee shop and see families enjoying pastries and coffee? Never. I was in awe when I walked in and saw 2 families with kids enjoying their treats. I felt so much comfortable going in with a baby! Most coffee shops are small and aren't accommodating to kids! I ordered the woodsman which was perfect for the cold! It had a nice maple, Smokey flavor and wasn't overly sweet! read more

Traditional European coffee, nice soft bitter bite after the flavor. The hazy pumpkin is very flavorful and the pumpkin is perfectly babalanced with the hazelnut. We sat in the coffee shop and enjoyed our coffee. They delivered it straight to your table with a smile. It's a nice, bright and quiet space where you can easily get lost in a book, or your work projects. read more

Great coffee, pastries, and small eats in a nice, laid back spot for personal and business plus its in a growing spot on N. Mich Rd where it was much needed for West Carmel and Zionsville! read more

I am so happy this new and spacious coffee shop opened. I love Indie roasters but the Main Street location is small with lack of parking. This new spot is more my speed with plenty of parking and tons of seating space. You can park in the large lot behind the main road where the apartments are. There is an entry door right off the back. You walk down a short hallway and it opens up to the big space. There are some bar seats, tables, high top, booths and a couch. A seating type of every style. The order counter is off to the side and right across from a bakery they are sharing the space with. Lots of yummy options for a coffee and pastry date. read more

This place is so cute! It's inside of an apartment complex but it's very organized and clean. The service is amazing everyone here is so friendly which you don't see a lot in the service industry nowadays. I didn't try any of the food but the coffee you can tell is good quality. A bit on the pricier side for the size of coffee but no more than what you'd pay at Starbucks for low quality. Definitely coming back to this place! read more

New coffee place alert ! Happy to a coffee place in my neighborhood! Indie Coffee Roasters in Smokey Row is officially open ! I tried this place on a rainy Friday morning and loved the vibe and the ambiance. There is a bakery inside the coffee shop that serves amazing Croissants and other items which I'd highly recommend. The coffee shops also have booths for your remote work days :) Also unlimited refills for the drip coffee is a plus ! read more

Fabulous second location for Indy Coffee Roasters in Carmel.

I'm obsessed with this location! The vibes are immaculate. The London Fog is my absolute favorite at Indy coffee roasters, but I decided to get a cappuccino today. The service was a little slow but it was busy for a Sunday morning and I think the baristas are new. My drink was the perfect temperature and it had cute latte art. This location has several tables for you to either get work done or chat with a friend. Highly recommend! read more

A great new location, sharing a common area with a bakery is a great idea! The ambiance is sleek, modern, clean and welcoming. There are a variety of seating options including individual bar stools at the coffee bar and facing the window, two large booths, several tables of varying sizes, and a small couch/chair setup area in front of a fireplace. Service was quick and the latte (I got vanilla) was good. I love the easy in and out of this location and would definitely be back! read more

Really cute coffee joint at the start of the main street strip in Carmel. The inside is warm and inviting, and plenty of space for enjoying your coffee and conversation. I had a pour over that was very good, and they had a selection of 3 pour overs to choose from (I went with the Ethiopian blend). Unfortunately their steamer was broken the day we visited, so my wife wasn't able to get her latte (no big deal). My only complaint is that they didn't have any sugar free options (syrups/Splenda/etc.), which my wife and many sugar sensitive folks tend to look for. Hopefully they can add some in the future! read more

Hands down my favorite place to get caffeine! Wonderful customer service and they are AMAZING at remembering names!!!

I'm so happy ICR opened another location! I love their original location but parking can be a bit challenging. This location seems to offer plenty of street parking and the space is spacious! My husband and I went on a Saturday morning and it was bustling with people. I went with the Betty and loved the festive flavors. Their seasonal lattes are made with lots of attention to detail. I loved the hints of cinnamon and brown sugar. My husband had a drip coffee and thoroughly enjoyed it. The ladies working behind the counter were all super friendly! They hand delivered each drink, whether you were staying to enjoy your drink or taking it to-go. The space offers a lot of seating options and also plenty of space to stand and wait for your drink. This is not a bad thing but be prepared to wait a few extra minutes if you're getting a seasonal drink since they're made with so much attention to detail. Can't wait to go back! read more

Best coffee ever! Their chai latte is incredible with cinnamon and cardamom. Several specialty recipes that change weekly as well.

Decent coffee and friendly staff. However, service is extremely slow. We come in about once weekly and it takes 15-20 minutes to get our coffees. read more

Location does not exist. It appears that there are shops for lease in the bottom of the apartment building surrounding this location. Again this Indy, coffee roaster location does not exist. It should be removed from yelp or Google. read more
