Great coffee, good price.

would want cheaper refills on regular coffee. Good interior design and very friendly staff.

One of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. I got their Sumatra and a plain scone which was also good. It does have a bit of a wait for just a plain cup of coffee, but absolutely delicious. Love the vibes insode the restaurant too!

Great spot in downtown Carmel. Went with some friends, grabbed coffee and hung out. Will definitely visit again when in the area! ☕️

Some of the best coffee I've had! Such a good flavor and very smooth. Wish it was closer to home.

Cute coffee place, average priced drinks right off the Monon. Super relaxed and nice inside. Outside can get very noisy which is a bummer if you are doing focus work or with someone else. I would say it’s a no go for a business coffee if you are sitting outside. In the heart of the Midtown Arts District so I definitely recommend walking around there. I’ve always had quick, attentive service.

Java House in downtown Carmel is an upscale coffee bar with rich interior decor and fancy cold brew coffee offerings. The ambiance feels like an old school bar with warm wood finishing and updated industrial finishing.

The coffee is all 'cold brewed' for best flavor. I had a basic black cold 'cold brew' and it was perfect. Dark smooth flavor, not as bitter and strong as Starbucks, but still with a rich and bold flavor.

The ambiance and service is the downside, I visited on a Wednesday morning just after 8 am.

While the location is beautiful and can be relatively easily accessed with parking via the parking garage attached or street parking, it was busy!

FULL of yuppie 'Carmelites' on their early morning business power meetings, and 'Carmel yoga Mom's' meeting up for their coffee dates. Their was also surprisingly (maybe not so surprisingly) a possibly homeless person hanging out at a table eating leftover fries from what appeared to be a takeout order from the previous evening...a sign that homelessness is and will be a new and upcoming issue for downtown Carmel in the future.

There only seemed to be two workers, one taking orders and one barista... so service seemed a bit slow. The workers seemed a bit overwhelmed and slightly unpleasant. I don't criticize them as the place seemed understaffed or perhaps mismanaged, a common situation at this period in time where all service industries seem to be struggling to adequately staff.

Finally, it is a super noisy environment. Tall open ceilings, industrial finishes, busy meetings etc. all lead to an echoey and loud setting. I honestly would prefer a Starbucks, as one can usually find a secluded spot, or move around more freely.

The coffee is good. I will give this place a try again, just not at coffee house rush hour at 8 am in Carmel.

I love this Midtown location! It sits right off the Monon and I love to grab a drink mid walk with my doggo using their walk up window! I love a cold brew with salted caramel cold foam and of course my pup loves a pup cup! The food is also really good. I love the breakfast sandwiches and parfaits. The place is always super busy and I love how friendly the staff is!

Very cozy and nice warm coffee shop with nice decorations.I enjoyed taking photos of my nephew and the place.

OMG…double OMG!!! First time here…they recommended the honey baby (cold). The best cold coffee, end of story.

Hip and trendy with a industrial vibe balanced by warm woods, its a great place to surf the net or meet with friends.
The summer drink collection adds a fun twist to the menu and you can't go wrong with a regular coffee, hot or cold.
