    Cinnamon Mocha Latte
    Kelly S.

    I don't like coffee but am on a mission to find coffee that I do like! Strange Brew was suggested to me and I was told to order the cinnamon mocha latte. I had never been in here before but it's really fun inside! The decor is funky, the staff was nice and they have seating id you want to hang out for a while. My drink tasted like Christmas! And not at all like coffee. Think chocolate milk with cinnamon and whip. I thought it was pretty good and liked that I couldn't taste any coffee. I would go back to try some other flavors but this was an enjoyable drink that would be a treat for me and not necessarily a daily coffee order.

    The southwest corridor along IN-37 is a donut desert. So, I was glad to find Strange Brew, which has assorted pastries and was highly rated by other Yelpers. Strange Brew is an unassuming locally owned coffee shop in strip mall about a mile east of IN-37. When we walked inside, the shop was bustling. Most tables and comfy seating were filled with mid morning coffee drinkers laughing and talking. This place, with a boho vibe, is popular. Art by local artists hangs on the walls. They roast their own coffee. Zombie Defense, Sticky Bun and Southern Pecan are just a few of the blends that the offer. They carry huge fresh muffins and vegan breakfast burritos. I got the vegan breakfast burrito, which is a small burrito but it is packed with flavor. Most notably, mushrooms and tomatoes. The burrito was really good, says this meat eater. And it was filling. My husband had the Blueberry Crumble Muffin which was delicious and huge. Blueberries were the star. They are somewhat messy to eat. You order at the counter and then wait for your name to be called. Crystal was our friendly and efficient server. She warmed my burrito. They do a robust carry out service. The shop is loud with energy, so don't expect to do a phone conference. Parking is limited too. I recommend and will be trying the coffee next pass.

    Strange Brew reminds me of the small town coffee shops in New Mexico. Cozy vibes. They have old comfy couches and normal tables and chairs. Theres are lots of sitting options which is great if you need to gather with study groups. Service is great and coffee is good! Cheers!

    Love it! Much bigger inside than I anticipated with plenty of seating. Great option to work from! Lots of flavor options, fall selections, sugar free options, etc. the muffins also looked super yummy but I'll save that for next time! The server was super helpful for our first visit and gave lots of info that helped our decision making!

    On a sunny Saturday morning this place was hopping! With time to kill before a soccer game we stopped in to relax and fuel up. The chai lattes (hot and cold) were delicious and the Americano smooth and rich. The muffins were fresh and tasty - especially the lemon. Yum!!! Definitely a popular local spot - I'd stop again if I was in town.

    A local favorite coffee shop! Strange Brew has been a regular spot for a few years now. My personal favorite expresso drink is likely Black Forest, as it's a good balance of sweet and strong. A variety of other beverages and food items are served too. An expresso & bagel sandwich make for a good, light meal! The baristas are cheerful, ready to serve, and a couple of them at least appear to have an appreciation of geek culture. Coming in wearing a shirt referencing TV, video gaming, or anything pop culture will likely yield positive remarks from the servers! Much of the art displayed is bright & colorful, with some pop culture references in at least a few cases. The interior overall has a hip, energetic style & feel. An easy five stars!

    I had the chance to visit Strange Brew for an IU Day event. I loved the environment and energy the coffee shop brought. I could tell good people are here as well as good coffee. I got my go-to iced oat milk vanilla latte and you can never go wrong with that! I don't visit Greenwood enough, but if I'm ever in the area, I'll definitely make that my spot!

    Order station as well as pastry options

    This coffee shop has a very relaxed and casual vibe. The latte was except, and the breakfast sandwich was gigantic and really great. Super filling. Couches were comfortable to relax and chat. A great place to hang out and enjoy coffee and food. Very prompt service and friendly staff also.

    I've been trying to find more local coffee shops in the area, and I picked a good one today!…read more Upon walking in, the little patio area is super lovely. Games and plenty of seating for all visitors. Not to mention, bonus points for the cat I got to pet on the way in, I love a good coffee shop kitty haha. Inside, the decor was even better. Featuring a nice seating area, plenty of plants, and even a little drawing board to add yourself in. I love when shops have community art like this, not to mention, tasteful memes. Very good for a quiet coffee shop trip, either by yourself or with family. Service was super friendly. They were out of a few things, I thought about trying, but the cashier made it better by giving out recommendations on other stuff. Not a whole lot of parking, but other than that I would defnitley be back. Pictured is some of the lovely decor, However, I did not get a picture of my coffee or bagel before I destroyed it, haha.

    Confession time--I'm a fake coffee drinker! Decaf, tea, a little matcha here and there (I like my…read morecaffeine subtle to zero). But when my sister suggested trying a new to her coffee shop, I was totally up for the adventure. This place is tucked inside a historic house, and the inside makeover gives it a cool, modern twist. It's the perfect spot to catch up with friends or work with your laptop. The staff? Super friendly and welcoming! I ordered a Butter Beer latte which included carmel, toffee & vanilla (decaf, naturally) with a milk substitute and treated myself to a blueberry muffin. The verdict: coffee was tasty, but that muffin? Absolute perfection: light, cake like, and not too sweet. We demolished it so quickly, we nearly made a U-turn to get another! This place sings comfy, homey vibes, and I can't wait to come back. If you haven't visited yet, go check them out!
