I recently revisited Provider for a morning coffee meeting. Upon r eye ring, I was a little bummed to not find the warm and inviting service that I felt this space used to hold. After tip, my ginger latte cost $10 and was served in a to go cup despite saying we were sticking around. It seemed like this was the case for many others in the shop as well. Something about a $10 latte in a to go cup loses its charm and the overall communal vibe of sticking around. It's such a great location and the drinks are fabulous. I'm a big believer that the staff are key to the coffee shop experience and why I spend on going out vs making my own at home. I'm hopeful that the warmth can return here read more

I popped in to Provider for the first time ever! This is such a welcoming and cozy space with natural lighting and lots of plants. There were many people working and meeting, so I got the impression this is a popular spot for remote work. What I ordered: iced butterscotch latte. Features Helm Coffee Roasters coffee, house made butterscotch syrup and orange notes. Highly enjoyed all the flavor notes and the balance of sweet and smooth coffee. read more

I've been to this place a few times and love it every visit! The service is awesome. The last time I went, I had kind of a lot going on and the woman making the sandwiches helped me out and brought my sandwich directly to my table. The tomato mozz sandwich is absolutely delicious! Also, the pistachio latte is to die for. Great place to get a little work done during the day. read more

The Provider was a very relaxing and chill environment where you could easily have conversations or meetings. This isn't a loud location and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The decor was very pretty with plants everywhere. I tried the apple cinnamon latte and was somewhat disappointed by the very light flavor but it was aesthetically pleasing. The menu wasn't too big but the staff was very kind read more

I absolutely love this coffee shop. It took me 1.5 years to finally stop by and I'm so upset I didn't come by sooner. The baristas are wonderful and have this warm essence to them. Not only are they friendly but they also make some fire coffee and their food is carefully prepared. The aesthetic reminds me of trendy/edgy meets cozy vibes; it's just overall inviting!! and I love all the natural light that comes in. They also have an outdoor patio if that's your thing! 1) Bacon breakfast sandwich - the broken up bacon bits with the sweet pepper jam? absolute slay. one of the best bagel breakfast sammies ever. the bagel is also sooo soft 2) Herby fully loaded- not a huge fan, granted it was vegetarian and you can definitely taste the herbs (the dill was a little too strong for me) 3) Iced butterscotch latte. GET IT. You need it. It is sooooo freaking good 4) Iced chocolate latte- if you truly love coffee you'll appreciate this drink. not sweet at all and the chocolate is very subtle, it allows the espresso to really shine through PROVIDER is truly an Indy gem. I will be returning for many more study sessions in the future & to try out even more things on their menu. read more

Industrial but warm, workspace and events too, the Good Lord provides more than perfect lattes in this downtown joint. Personal faves include an original Pistachio and Banana (bread). It's a cozy sweet hang with primo pastries and a killer breakfast sammie too - saddle up barside to chat with the friendly baristas or make a new friend, so much easier visiting the Midwest! read more

I ordered the Butterscotch latte and it was really good. Not overly sweet just smooth rich and balance. Last time I tried one of the specials , a PBJ Latte, that was very unique. You can tell they care about how their drinks are made and not just getting them out the door. Service was easygoing and welcoming without feeling forced. I went on a cold Sunday and it was really busy the whole time if you are planning on getting a seat. If parking lot is full you will need to find street parking. I do like that it's right on the monon trail if you want to take your coffee to go instead and walk! read more

First time trying this coffee shop and I loved the interior and customer service. Despite being busy, me and my guest were able to find a seat. I ordered a bagel with cheese, bacon and egg and it was really good! My coffee though, had a weird after taste, I'm not sure if it was from foam or syrup but it almost tasted expired. My friend said hers had a weird taste too. However, I would come back to this establishment! It's perfect for a meeting spot, solo date, etc. read more

Love to support local shops so since I was out of the country during small business Saturday I wasn't able to partake so today we spent the day running around. My daughter said maybe we can try a seasonal drink so we went. Cool place, love the plants, the young lady who helped us was nice. We ordered the peppermint mocha and gingerbread latte. Hers wasn't very peppermint flavored so very nice that the young lady added some more and said if she needs more to let her know. Mine was great. My only issue was that there wasn't really any place to sit. A couple of people were hogging the 6 seated table top working on their laptops and newspaper. Several people sprawled out as if this was the public library. The guy near me kept staring at us for having a conversation as if we were loud or a problem while he was working on his laptop. Very irritating to want to support a local business but most people act like we are at a library. They have an upstairs I asked about but was told it was for events etc like weddings or something. SUGGESTION: how about since there isn't a wedding going on set up tables up there for these people on their laptops who clearly act like a regular patron who just wants to get a coffee and converse with their friend/guest whatever is the problem. Why should the rest of the people who want a place to go catch up with someone or get a snack have to be extremely quiet or made to feel like they are the problem...these people hogging the tables to work on their laptops get to buy a $6 coffee and hang out all day leaving no space for patrons who probably would spend more. We actually wanted to get something but because there really wasn't any seating we decided not to. The seats in the doorway were empty but it's cold out. If places like Bodhi can regulate how much time a patron is allotted then these places can definitely be a little more restrictive on allowing people to just sprawl out their laptops and work as if it's a library or office space. Guarantee other people feel this but just are afraid to mention it. Definitely a first and last visit. 5 stars for the nice young lady (her energy and vibe was amazing). 2 stars for the experience not being able to enjoy the atmosphere due to all the people on their laptops or newspapers scattered on tables. read more

Cute coffee cafe with outdoor seating. It even has the indoor/outdoor seating- you're seated inside with the garage type door open. I ordered the maple pecan latte iced with oatmilk. The drink was good but the flavor profile was to light. I could telll that there was maple because it was sweet and not over the top but I didn't taste pecan at all. read more

The overall look of the place was so so so cute! But.... The drinks were okay. We got a peanut butter latte and it was good, the chocolate latte was not the best but not the worst, we also got a bagel sandwich and that was good as well! However all that plus a two dollar sticker and tip was $36 so definitely on the bit of the pricey side. And the staff was a little rude, sort of standoffish just didn't get a welcoming vibe :( read more

So I had to come here because I was told this was the best coffee shop in the city ... so I went, had to check this place out and see what the hype was and see if I agreed and well.... I don't agree totally. The atmosphere and aesthetic is nice, cool vibe. I've heard talk about laptops not being allowed but unsure on how valid that is but did not see anyone on one while I was there. Love all the plants although I did notice mealy bugs all over the monstera( doesn't take away from the place at all) the drinks were mid- I tried the peanut butter latte both hot and cold and hot was soooo much better. The banana latte (can't remember the name) was tried as well and It was also very ... I don't know the word for it- it tasted more like a banana peel vs a banana... it was not enjoyable. hhhhhowever those bagel sandwiches were amazing !! Like I would go back just for those. I'm going to try this place again and see if I can catch what others have projected this place to be read more

I LOVE a great coffee shop cafe and I have to say that Provider checks all the boxes on my list! First off, I am plant based vegan and typically try to find spots that have plant based vegan options and drinks options that are vegan friendly and I found both here. This was my first visit and ambiance and vibe are amazing. The inside is beautifully decorated and spacious, there is a garage door that opens to their outside patio. I had the vegan sandwich which has cucumbers, avocado, tomatoes, spinach, and hummus on sourdough bread which was delicious and is more than enough. I ate half for breakfast and saved the other for lunch. I tired to Golden Milk (ginger, turmeric, and chili de arbol, under the Not Coffee list) which is one of my favorites and was delicious as well. I definitely recommend because of the cool vibe and the food! Rest assured my fellow plant based vegan friends, there is something for us!!! I'll definitely be back. read more

#4 Indianapolis Addition This the Spot!!! You know how I feel about Coffee and we have been impressed by what Indianapolis has to offer. But, Provider Coffee hits different! Provider Coffee is what Starbucks tried to do a few years ago. Offering breakfast, lunch, coffee, beer and wine, in an ultra laid back setting. Exposed brick interior with high top tables and awesome music is just the beginning of this gem. A self Serve pastry case with a variety of unique pastries is the first thing to great you. Massive Almond Croissants, Pumpkin, Orange, Cream Cheese Muffin(Yes, all that in 1 muffin) among others, all for the picking. Smiling faces that not only greet, take your order and make recommendations, but th3 staff also make it a point to be engaging with each guest. It truly makes you want to linger for awhile. Then, there's the COFFEE!! Specialty coffees like Pistachio Rose Water are just the tip of the iceberg. Along with traditional coffee offerings, teas, housemade Kombucha, seasonal Lattes, and a featured Latte! There is no way you can walk out of there without something! Too hot to handle, too cold to hold; had a Butterscotch Latte that was curated like a cocktail! Espresso, steamed whole Milk, with butter, piloncillo, and a flaming orange. WHO DOES THAT!!! It was so good. Didn't get a whole lot if Butterscotch, but MAN!!! He also had a bacon breakfast Sammy with TONS of bacon, fluffy egg, cheddar cheese, and pepper jelly, on a Multigrain GLUTEN-FREE bread!!! It was a mirage of flavors that just warmed the soul. The decaf tenderoni had their featured Latte which was Banana Demerara. When I tell you, it literally tasted like banana bread? Packed with warm spice, actual banana flavor, and a hint raw sugar. It was the best banana Latte I have ever had! Provider is one for the books!!! CHECK IT OUT! read more

Great coffee shop north of downtown. I got just a coffee and a peach hand pie. The coffee was AMAZING. The hand pie was really good. It had flakey fresh pastry and fresh peach slices. The baristas were very friendly and super fast. It's nice and cozy inside. The location right off the monon trail is so perfect. Check this place out. read more

Had many options to choose from during my recent trip to Indy but man I am glad I checked out Provider Coffee. Great place--clean aesthetic, chill atmosphere, and it's clearly a favorite among locals. The baristas know what they're doing, and the menu has some creative options that make you want to try something new every time. I had a great experience overall. Only reason I'm giving it 4.5 instead of 5 is that the customer service was solid but not super warm--nothing bad, just felt a little transactional. That said, I'd still come back in a heartbeat. This place is doing great things for Indy's coffee scene. read more

First, I just want to start by saying I loved my latte! It was really good. So if you're looking for good coffee and that's all you care about - consider this a 5/5. I gave 3 stars for a couple of reasons. It took me forever to find parking. Like, I circled the building and lot 6 times before I ultimately parked on the side of the road (not sure if that was even legal). All of the Provider spots were taken on a Monday afternoon which I thought was odd. But all of the 15 minute to-go spots were empty, which makes me wonder if that's more to-go spots than needed. Once I finally parked and went inside, I ordered an iced latte. It took nearly 20 minutes for my drink to be made. I saw someone else go up and check on the order and heard the barista mention something about closing soon, but didn't fully hear the conversation, but it seemed like an odd excuse since I ordered nearly 45 minutes before closing. By the time I got my coffee, I ended up leaving instead of staying in which was the original plan. The parking and wait ultimately bumped this down to a 3. I will say the vibe inside is right up my alley. Very cool place! read more

The service was friendly and the cashier even recommended some other local coffee shops as they knew we were from out of town trying different ones. Lattes were good. The ambiance was nice as well. read more

Beautiful space, delicious coffee, and really kind staff. Please, please reconsider your relationship to plastic waste, though, PROVIDER. Giving 'for here' guests ceramic/glass cups by default, instead of garbage, would make the experience way more elegant, in addition to making a huge cumulative dent in unnecessary waste. read more

I'd driven by the historic Tinker House building a zillion times without ever realizing it was the home of Provider, a coffeehouse within the Indianapolis-based Small Victories Hospitality Group - think Coat Check Coffee, Certain Feelings, Landlocked, Strangebird, and Chalet. I'd always wanted to visit Provider, but I've historically had some accessibility issues with businesses along this Kennedy-King (the neighborhood) strip on East 16th Street. To be honest, as much as I love Small Victories I'll also note that they tend to take over spots that have accessibility issues (Coat Check, Chalet specifically - Landlocked and Strangebird are fine for the most part). My assumption based upon drive by of Provider was that there would be accessibility issues. So, first of all, let me admit that I was pretty much wrong. I am attending an event in the Tinker House Events part of this building over the weekend and decided to scope it out. Doing revealed that a drive by doesn't really tell you anything about Provider. As you drive around back, you are greeted by a substantial parking lot with accessible parking. The entryway is accessible and there's also an outdoor area that would work for the most part. In fact, this might be the most accessible option in the Small Victories family. They tend to take over cool spots (I mean, seriously. Chalet is amazing even with accessibility issues). I had some time before a movie over at Kan-Kan and decided to really check this place out. Provider has been open since 2018 on the ground floor of the Tinker House building. They offer coffee, long drinks, bialy sandwiches, and pastries in a stylish, warm, and inviting atmosphere. The baristas are friendly and they do offer wifi. This is a really cool building - and yes, it's a historic building and that means access isn't perfect. However, it's pretty good and I was much more impressed than I thought I'd be. I like that Provider utilizes other local businesses (for example, Dandy Breeze for their milk) and that they specialize in lattes. They also offer non-coffee options for those of us getting older whose digestive systems sometimes rebel (tea, ginger beer, hot chocolate, golden milk, matcha latte), and a variety of dietary options - Pastries tend to be pretty affordable, though sandwiches tend to be at meal prices around $10-13). As I was somewhat rushing due to a movie obligation and it was nearing the end of their day, I kept things simple with an iced latte and an opportunity to just check the place out. I definitely loved the experience and will definitely be back when I get more time (probably a weekend since they do close at 4pm). Provider was a reminder for me to really check places out before ruling them out as inaccessible. I finally did so and was rewarded with a great experience. I look forward to returning in the near future. read more

Popped into Provider for a bagel Sammy, they're so good. My Sammy came out on bread though not nearly as tasty. When I asked the barista he said they had changed it but not updated then menu. The coffee is always spot on and it's so pretty in there with all the plants. read more

This is a beautiful space and the everything croissant I ordered was amazing. I also had a bite of my friend's toast, which was great too. Unofrutnately I didn't love my drink (butterscotch latte) but that's more due to my own taste and likely not the preparation. It was quite crowded during our visit so we had to sit at the bar right by the register, which was not ideal. I probably won't be back for coffee since I have other favorites nearby, but would definitely come try the cocktail service and/or pick up either type of beverage when at an event in the space. Plenty of parking is available. read more

Wouldn't recommend this place. Not to be so mean but truly the service is terrible. The guy taking my order at the time was rude. He wasn't answering my questions really nor suggesting anything from the menu since it was our first time in. He wasn't very welcoming either. Why work there if you dislike your job so much? Making the experience for customers unpleasant and it's not professional. Now due to that transaction I didn't enjoy the coffee really, he had also gotten my order wrong so had to get it remade again. In conclusion the coffee not so good, the service not good. I'd rather drive somewhere else for outstanding service and coffee. Do better! read more

I'm only in Indy for two days and I picked 4 coffee shops to try and I'm so glad I found this one. I tried the banana latte which also had cinnamon on top and hands down the best banana latte I've ever had. Real banana inside not some fake syrup so I would definitely go back and try this again. My only complaint, not a big enough size. read more

Always excellent coffee with artistic flair! Every drink has a little something that makes it "craft". Hot lattes whether to go or for here feature latte art and most drinks are topped with something to make it a little more special. Staff is friendly and the store itself has a fun vibe.

I love the vibes of this coffee shop! Sunshine, plants, and friendly employees all add to what keeps me coming back here along with delicious lattes.

I was told it was going to be fixed soon but if you work remotely and don't have a hot spot, be aware that the internet could be an issue. read more

It's the best coffee in Indy, with only Bovaconti to rival. But it's $18 for two lattes, so we reserve it for special occasions. No matter, it's worth it on those days. Provider goes above and beyond to take your latte to the next level and every single time it's perfection. Whether it's a spritz of rose water or a sprinkle of sea salt, you'll be in awe. The shop is very well designed and has a lovely, moody ambiance. There is plenty of parking, everyone is very kind, and there are really no complaints. It can get crowded and seating can be limited, but you can't blame them. read more

I've been here three times and each time I've had to wait 20+ minutes for my drink. The coffee is always great, but it's just simply not worth waiting that long to get it. I'm writing this after I just waited THIRTY (30) MINUTES for a latte with an extra shot. Meanwhile, people who ordered similar drinks after me are getting theirs before me. This is a very common occurrence here and it needs to be fixed because waiting thirty minutes for a cup of coffee is ridiculous, especially when other coffee shops are just as if not more busy and they handle their workflow exponentially better. Good coffee, not worth the wait AT ALL. Go elsewhere. EDIT: They literally got it wrong too LMAO. I PROMISE you can go elsewhere, get a better cup a coffee, and not have to stand around for 20-30 minutes. I'll take burnt office kcup coffee over this poorly managed mess any day read more

Stopped in for a hot drink during a cold thrifting day. Ambiance is upbeat, with alternative music playing and loud chatter from the full seating area. My friend and I were able to grab the last two seats available which happened to be at the bar. I had the matcha latte with the ginger syrup upon recommendation from one of the thrift store employees. They use ceremonial grade matcha and the ginger syrup had a strong ginger taste without being too sweet. I chose the almond and jam toast and my friend had the everything croissant, both of which were delicious. There is a parking lot with ample parking so you don't need to park on the street. I look forward to coming back and trying the cocktails one evening. read more

Oh oh! Indiana never surprises with casual and happening coffee shops. Provider coffee is located in the same building as Tinker Coffee. Beautiful outdoor setup for warmer weather days and similar menu as Coat check coffee located in Indiana downtown. The chocolate brownie paired with the house drip coffee was bomb! The pistachio latte had a wonderful, vibrant combo of pistachio and lemon which was heaven with every sip. Good place to work or just casually hang out with friends, ample parking space and quite close to downtown but not within to face any parking challenges. Will definitely be back! read more

Provider is one of the best coffee spots in Indy. It's trendy and hip and offers the perfect blend of coffee and quick bites. Has indoor and outdoor seating, and the coffee menu is perfection.

Provider also has sister locations in Indianapolis with similar offerings, but different aesthetics: Coat Check (the original) and Chalet. read more

My friend and I went to provider to have a coffee and get some work done. We ordered our drinks - we both got the iced butterscotch which were delicious. However, our experience with one of the employees was extremely unpleasant. We had set all our stuff up to get some work done, we both had a bagel to eat, which we did not buy from them (provider coffee). Completely innocently, we began eating our own bagels - the female employee with dark hair came up to us and in a very belittling, disrespectful and arrogant manner yelled at us for eating them and rambled on about it being a violation. My friend and I were extremely apologetic and said we are so sorry we had no idea and that we understand and apologized again. The employee continued to be rude. Had she have asked her in a respectful manner we would have had no problem stepping outside or putting it away. Her approach was absolutely unacceptable. So my friend and I decided, that it was time for us to leave - not having even been there for 10 minutes. As we were walking out the door, the same employee sarcastically yelled 'Thank you'. This was extremely disrespectful and unprofessional of an employee that is meant to serve customer service. read more
