Falls Perk Coffee House – Pendleton
If you instantly thought of the TV Show Friends, and the iconic ‘Central Perk’ when you heard the name of this coffee shop, you are right! This cozy small-town coffee house was inspired by the show Friends and locals are loving it! This coffee shop is just right across from Falls Park in Pendleton, and is owned by a local married couple, Justis & Mitchall Hall. Falls Perk is one of those coffee shops that gives you all of those warm and cozy feelings right when you walk in the door.

Kaffeine Coffee Company, owned by husband and wife Amanda and Chris Kilander, started out as a coffee truck and is now located in a building just a few feet from Mass Ave. They are known for their industrial atmosphere, as well as providing a unique experience and delicious handcrafted coffees. They definitely aim to please by bringing coffee to the next level for their customers by not adding syrups and flavoring to their coffees. Kaffeine Coffee has a true love and passion for brewing, roasting, and drinking coffee that really shows through their special brewing processes and high quality of beans. Oh, and did I mention they have an Italian dessert that is made by drowning cold, sweet gelato in hot espresso?! It’s called the Affogato, and you’re welcome!
Milktooth – Indianapolis
In 2014, this fine diner called Milktooth was opened, and has been a huge hit ever since! Milktooth has an amazing state-of-the-art bistro station, that allows them to brew some pretty impressive menu items. This bistro features bottomless drip, cold brews, espressos, and many other specialty drinks. Along with coffee they offer a full decadent brunch menu, and I also have to mention that they have booze! For those of you who like to mix their coffee with their booze, try the Kangaroo Kourt, it has a house made coffee-tequila liquor, Banana liqueur, cream and house made orange bitters.
Monon Coffee Company – Broad Ripple
This coffee house is just off the Monon Trail and they claim to be Broad Ripple’s best, so we knew we had to include this one! We can’t deny that their White Chocolate Mochas are absolutely to die for and their most famous concoction, the White Zombie is a must have! The White Zombie is made of white espresso beans that are very lightly roasted so they don’t lose as much caffeine as darker espresso beans, then top it off with some almond milk and a splash of white chocolate syrup and you’re taste buds will be begging for more!
Bee Coffee Roasters – Indianapolis
Bee Coffee Roasters is known as one of the first specialty coffee shops in Indy. This coffee shop resources and roasts their own beans to bring out the very best flavors. Their staff is very knowledgeable, so if you need help picking a brew that you will enjoy the most, they’ve got you covered. Bee Coffee Roasters even won the title of best coffee shop in Indiana based on the Mental Floss article of the best coffee shops in all 50 states. They were also named the best coffee roaster by Indianapolis Monthly Magazine! You might want to do yourself a favor and add this one to your list!
