    Cute little coffee shop... well, let me correct that... it looks small from the outside, but reveals additional levels with quite a bit of seating once you are inside. Service is quite friendly and the coffee is great. We came here just for a cup of java, well in my case cappuccino and I must say it was delicious. They do offer snacks and baked goods, but we had just finished lunch. Next time we are in the area, we'll check out more goodies from here.

    Wow! The best iced drink I've had in a long time (maybe ever)! After exploring Crawfordsville, my mom and I stopped in for a drink to enjoy on our drive home. The coffee shop itself is huge, with plenty of places to sit and work, and the baristas were super friendly. There were only a few tables outdoors, but still, a nice place to sit on a warm day. As it is fall, we decided to try their local specialty, the Chumpkin. As I stated, this is perhaps the best iced drink I've ever had. It is a combination of an iced Chai and pumpkin spice. Wow! It really tasted like a pumpkin pie. Plenty of pumpkin flavor, cinnamon, and more. I'm a little thankful it's an hour away as I suspect I'd be ordering it daily! I tried to take it home to share some of the goodness with my family, but once my son got to it, he finished it off. So, I guess I'll have to take another road trip with the rest of the family so they can give it a try!

    For folks who like to buy there coffee, find a seat and spend time quietly, you won't find a better place in the area. The long and narrow coffee shop has the order counter on your left as you enter and a few small tables along the right. About half way back, there is a staircase that leads to more seating upstairs (the kitchen for their baked goods are in the lower floor.) Maybe it was because it was an overcast day, but this north-facing shop was dimly lit and relied upon soft lighting. Very peaceful. I ordered my usual black coffee and though I looked over the pastry options, they only had two that day and neither had the visual appeal to make me want one. I paid and was given a cup so that I could fill my coffee at the "pumping station." The coffee, while hot, didn't scald my palate (Yeah!) and had a medium roast flavor (just a hint of bitter.) So, a good coffee, not the best I've had. The building itself is located across from the south side of the courthouse. It doesn't have a sign our front that you can see it from the side....just a window sign. I suggest looking for the covered extension that sticks out across the sidewalk to be able to find it more easily. Parking is free along the street. Review #3742

    Great environment! I got the frappe which was really good! I will be back. Was a little hard to find, other than that though, the woman at the front was very kind and helpful to help me chose a good decaf.

She said I didn't it came from another basket which was not true! I took my large fry which I knew that's what it was and I asked for a fry box and went out to my car put the fries in the fry box and blow and behold it was not even a large fry, now mind you this is over $2 more for a large fry to buy a basket of fries, I went back in and she was already making another basket of fries her excuse was sometimes our baskets are uneven! Seriously get it together people make sure you are getting what you pay for it is your money that you work hard for
