Brilliant Coffee Company

I love this little coffee shop! We got the Affogata which is your choice of gelato and a shot of espresso poured on top…so incredible and only $5!! They also have a selection of spiked coffee drinks in addition to their gelato, sorbetto and traditional coffee drinks. So fun!! The decor is so lovely and it’s so close to the square. It’s one of my new favorites in Bloomington!!

One of the best gelato we ever had! Must try! So many creative flavors, we went there two days in a roll during our visit so we could try different flavors. I had gelato for breakfast the morning we left town. Apple mint mojito, honey lemon ginger and chocolate is my favorite, also love the cookies and cream and the gianduia/nutella flavor.

The Brilliant Coffee Company is simply the cutest coffee shop in Bloomington. They opened the coffee shop roughly around July along with The Nourish Bar and soon to be Market on both sides of the coffee shop. They offer a ton of varieties of food and drinks. Dairy free and vegan coffee and food options, dairy free, vegan, and gluten free Gelato and Sherbet. Look into my photos for more of their offerings!

I recently visited this place for the first time, and tried a latte, a coffee cake, a cinnamon roll, an egg, cheese, and chorizo breakfast sandwich, and a small lemon cookie gelato. Everything was fine, nothing really out- of-the-ordinary awesome, except for the lemon cookie gelato. It was amazing, and the perfect flavor and texture. There is a restaurant connected to the coffee shop (which also has coffee cocktails/drinks, beer, and some sodas, I think?) The restaurant looks interesting, both in regards to food, and the way the space is decorated (I will post pictures, too). I haven't tried it, but was shown a menu, and they serve ramen... and volcano fries? Lots of other intriguing things, I just don't remember them. The service was really friendly, and they did have indoor seating available (with just two people sitting far apart inside). I will definitely come back to try more gelato, and am interested to try dinner as well.

We went for gellato, and I wasn't a fan. The staff is the best. Vibe was there. The gellato was hard and the taste wasn't all there for me. I felt it overpriced. The espresso was delicious. I won't go back for the gellato but definitely coffee, homework, meetings. I get it for that.

I had a great date night trip here. We had the lemon-honey-ginger, black sesame, and cookies and cream gelatos. All three flavors were SO good. The lemon-honey-ginger and black sesame were the standouts. We also had a caramel macchiato, and it was excellent. Very friendly staff. We can't wait to go back with our kids.

This is a must stop coffee shop in Bloomington, IN. The coffee is great. My latte was very strong, as I like it. Good pastries. The added bonus is the gelato. although I was not up for it at 9:00 AM.

Excellent ice cream! I tried six flavors, all top notch. It's among the priciest for ice cream, but at least they deliver on quality. The decor is pleasant, particularly the wood counter and the tiling. Staff was courteous. Maybe not a place for everyday at this price point, but great when I feel like a treat.

Stopped by to check out the new place. Sampled some of their Gelatos and ended up selecting an Affogato with the vanilla. It was amazing. They are very friendly and helpful. Place is extremely clean.

The coffee is quite good, but don't trust that they're open based on the hours on their door, or Facebook page. Rumor has it that their Instagram posts more accurate hours. If I knew when I could get coffee instead of disappointment, I'd rate 5 stars.
