I have been to Smalltown Coffee twice and have enjoyed every visit. On our first visit, most of the…read moreseats were taken, so we sat at the counter. Our gluten-free Toffee Chocolate Scone ($3.75) was tasty. I had a Toffee Chip latte ($6.45) that was beautifully presented. My husband enjoyed his iced Bananas Foster latte ($6.45). We also tried the Strawberry Cheesecake Hand Pie ($6.50) but didn't really care for it. We came back recently, and I was disappointed that we were given everything in paper/plastic even though we ordered our food and drinks to enjoy there. I much prefer drinking out of glass if I'm visiting a coffee shop. My Stroopwaffle latte was quite tasty, but I didn't love the Jam Session latte. While the indoor seating can fill up, I noticed they have some outdoor tables as well. The pastry selection is somewhat limited, and I'd love to see some heartier breakfast options. Love their creative latte selection and commitment to quality.

I drove out to Crown Point after seeing a few social media posts about Jilly's Cafe, but I was…read morerather disappointed in my visit there. I searched for another coffeeshop nearby, and I wish I had just bypassed Jilly's and went straight to Refuge. The food was simple but good, and I loved the Samoa Latte I got. Everyone was hyped for Jilly's because of the aesthetic, but honestly, I liked the Refuge better. I was there during warm weather, so the building was wide open with easy access between the outside and inside.

My husband had the Doncaster - Salted Butterscotch Oat Draft Cold Brew, and I had the Voodoo - Peanut Butter Chocolate Espresso Latte ($6.50 each). Both were very tasty although my husband's needed a good stir since a lot of the flavoring had settled at the bottom. I was looking at the paper menu when I ordered, so I thought the Gold Rush ($9) was a really interesting bagel when it's actually a bowl of oatmeal. A bit disappointing. My husband had the Avocado Toast ($9), a solid breakfast option. The interior is very nice with ample seating. Can't wait to make it out to CP again and have another opportunity for coffee at Fluid.

Bodega in Crown Point, IN was such a cute little spot! The space is on the smaller side, so it…read morecould feel pretty tight when busy, but overall we had a good experience. I tried the Fruity Pebbles iced latte, which was essentially a white mocha with Fruity Pebbles cold foam. It didn't really taste like Fruity Pebbles to me, and the drink was definitely more cold foam-heavy with the cereal sprinkled on top. The rest of my group tried the honey vanilla iced latte, which was better once mixed, but had a bit of a unique flavor that we weren't sure was from the honey. One friend even thought the espresso had a slightly off taste, although I personally didn't notice it. The space itself was clean, cute, and had some fun offerings--from seasoned deviled eggs to seasonal drinks and gift items. It's also attached to a salon that's basically a one-stop shop, which I thought was such a fun concept! Overall, definitely a decent spot to check out if you're in the area. As an out-of-town girly, though, I probably wouldn't make it my first choice next time I'm in Crown Point, but I'm glad we stopped in and gave it a try!

They also made it with decaf coffee for me. Absolute treat! I will def be back

If that sounds like your vibe, be sure to check out Old Dog Coffeehouse in Lowell, Indiana. From the endless creative menu to the delicious seasonal drinks, this spot completely won me over. The atmosphere was adorable, the service was exceptional, and the whole experience had that welcoming small-town, family-oriented feel that makes you want to stay awhile. Plus, there were plenty of furry friends around to say hello to! I'm so glad I had the chance to stop by while in town. My nephew absolutely loved seeing all the dogs and enjoying a cake pop, and the Berries & Cream Latte was the perfect treat--easily one of my favorite seasonal drinks I've tried recently. Such a fun and cozy spot that's well worth a visit!
