I always try to stop here when I'm driving from Michigan to visit my friends in Indiana. The coffee…read moreis amazing - on this trip I decided to get an espresso and a pumpkin spice latte. The espresso was perfect and hit the spot (I needed all the caffeine for my drive home), and the latte was really good. It tasted just like pumpkin pie, but was slightly on the sweeter side. I would have probably asked for a little less sweetener, but that's just my taste. It's also very nice inside with lots of seating. I didn't try any pastries this time, but they look delicious.

Stopped by Fortezza Coffee while passing through Fort Wayne and was pleasantly surprised! The space…read moreis super cozy with tons of greenery and thoughtful decor -- such a welcoming vibe. I ordered an iced latte which was both tasty and reasonably priced. I also spotted their iced matcha and it looked just as tempting. Service was quick and the staff were genuinely kind. Grateful for the caffeine boost and relaxing atmosphere!

I ordered the sourdough biscuit with sausage, egg, and provolone cheese and an ice dirty chai with oat milk. The sausage was delicious, but the biscuit itself was very...powdery? Almost like it had flour sprinkled on top. I ordered an iced chai and received a hot chai. It was VERY thick. I couldn't finish it. I didn't ask to make a new one because they were so busy and I didn't want to make everyone else wait for them to remake mine.

This place is a little bit funky but we loved it! A very indie vibe, but somehow different than…read moreanything we've been to. The outside patio is huge and most of it is covered so that's a win. There are garden beds and planters everywhere, so you don't feel like it's in a strip mall at all. Parking was a bit weird since there were only a few spots out front but lots around other businesses. The coffee was good. The smores latte was the fall drink I tried and it was pretty sweet! Almost too sweet to drink a large one. My friends got americanos and they loved those and said the coffee flavor was great. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Would definitely come back!

Penny Drip is definitely a convenient one-stop shop no matter what time of day you go. They offer…read moreeverything from craft coffee drinks to craft beer and handcrafted cocktails, which makes it a versatile spot whether you're meeting friends, working, or just passing through. The environment has a slightly industrial feel with just a hint of coziness, which gives it a modern but still comfortable vibe. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel. It was alright -- nothing special, but given the size and volume of the place, I don't necessarily expect everything to be made completely fresh to order. It did the job. The service was also just alright. My interaction with the barista/bartender was brief and unfortunately a bit stale. She wasn't rude, just not particularly warm or memorable. Overall, it's a convenient place with a lot of options, but the experience itself was pretty average.

Need to drop a 5 star for these guys. Spent one night in Fort Wayne, it was an absolute blizzard on…read morea Sunday morning. Penny Drip was open at 8:30am (blasting incredible music btw), ready to go. I got a vanilla latte (for me) and a pistachio matcha (my partner). Latte was great and the matcha was one of the best matchas I've ever tasted. Syrup was mixed perfectly - subtle matcha taste - everything you love to see. Loved their vibe - will definitely visit again when we're back in FW. Will need to try their vegan breakfast sandwich!

We were blessed to be at the Friendly Fox's wine dinner last week. Each delicious course was paired…read morewith a tasting of wine. While we love FF, we had never attended one of their monthly (in season) wine dinners. This dinner surpassed our expectations, which were pretty high already! The service was warm, welcoming, friendly but not intrusive. Their natural casual ambience was enhanced by white linens, fresh flowers, and candles at the tables. The food...oh the food! Fabulous (see pics)! Next wine dinners will likely resume in the fall. It's a small restaurant so only the lucky ones who reserve in time get in! The chef and his wife, Kendra, are wonderful hosts!

Popped into this lovely cafe for a quick late lunch on a workday. The Friendly Fox has a…read morecomfortable, local feel with an open, airy dining room. I enjoyed an easy panini and coffee, but didn't get to investigate the sweets this time! The cafe had a fun selection of seasonal coffee drinks and ice creams.

My fiancé loves trying out new drinks and he is especially fond of the caramel macchiato with an extra shot. When we've needed a breakfast food, their bagels always come through.

The vibe inside is so cozy, plenty of seating with board games tucked in the corner. I run into other morning regulars either every day, or every so often.

Orpheus makes my coffee right every morning I happen to stop in! A cute local little spot. And right next to the store, perfect for Sunday morning grocery shopping ,coffee. Thank you guys for your great service!

I cannot sing the praises of this Fort Wayne coffee shop enough. If it tells you anything, we…read morevisited as we were driving through town heading north and we loved it so much that we stopped again on our way south back to Indy. For starters, they make all of their non-dairy milks in house. The oat milk was fabulous! This also helps avoid all of the funky ingredients that are often added to these alternative milks. The staff was very friendly and the space was expansive with local artwork on display for sale, a variety of food items for purchase, coffee beans and a great coffee menu. I thoroughly enjoyed my lavender latte and we picked up some beans for the road. Overall it was a very positive experience and I will definitely be visiting the next time I am in the Fort Wayne area.

I'm not much of a yelper but had to write about our experience at Kanela-SW-Indy . We both agreed…read moreit was phenomenal, as soon we walked in the shop , we knew we'd make it a point to stop by every time we visit Fort Wayne. The coffee shop decor has a warm inviting feeling. As we glanced at the menu as made up to cashier/counter, we were greeted with a welcoming smile & hello. We are a mixed racial married couple. We get a lot of stares when we walk into a restaurant/shop. Athena D/cashier was very patient with my wife's questions about the smoothies, as well as mine. We asked so many questions. She was such a trooper. Thank you again Athena D. My wife ordered Slenderberry smoothie. I ordered the peanut butter cup smoothie w/o chocolate (I know I'm one of the few people in this world who allergic to chocolate) I added extra peanut butter and 2 extra bananas. Both of them were made to perfection. We also ordered break feast croissant, grown up grilled cheese, break feast burrito w/o the bacon. I gave up pork 2 years ago. The food was amazing & delicious. If you're ever in the neighborhood or just passing through Fort Wayne. Stop by this hidden gem and support the locals at Kanela-SW Indy.
