Strange Brew

Having been a regular of this place for 3 years, I think it's time I finally left a review for THE place for all my coffee (and often my lunch) needs! When I moved to the area the first thing I looked for was a locally owned coffee house, and this place fit the bill. I'm now here several times a week.

This place is a great locally run business with awesome owners and staff. They're very positive people and I get a comfy vibe when I'm there, and I always get to chat with the staff and many other regulars that come in.

If you're not a coffee aficionado, let them know and they will help you find something you'll enjoy! (Or tea! Or a smoothie!)

They have amazing doughnuts (some are vegan, but you'd never know it) on the weekends from another Indy-local business, as well as their own breakfast pastries, and breakfast/lunch sandwiches (soups in the fall on Fridays!) They have carnivore or vegetarian options. I love their grilled cheese and always get extra cheese. Just do it. You'll thank me.

Local art adorns the walls and is rotated on occasion, and nearly all of it is for sale. I own several pieces I've seen there!

They roast locally, and their coffee is often used in several breweries around town in special coffee-themed beer, showing that local businesses are fans of theirs, as well!

I want to address one last thing: Another review complains about not being able to bring in outside food and drink...but if you know how restaurants work, well, that's how they all work. I hate that anyone would give a negative review because they don't understand how businesses work, but you know, the internet. Anyway. Money spent here is worth every penny.

I am a manager at a Starbucks location. This place is my favorite place to go on my day off to unwind. Obviously, I dont let them know I work for their competitor. But I swear, that blonde bombshell has me coming back even on the days that I do work. They have great music (had bowie playing the last time I was in) and the baristas are so nice. I highly recommend this place.

If I lived closer, this would be my go-to coffee spot. Local art, good selection of baked goods and flavors for coffee drinks. I also enjoy their FB posts and that they are continuing to require masks (as of April 2021). Next time I'm in the neighborhood, I'll swing by.

I love Strange Brew! I go there to write, study, and get away for a little bit. Their coffee is amazing, and the food is good too! It's definitely the place to go if you like a calming, artistic vibe :)

Absolutely love the atmosphere and the art! Great place to meet up with friends in the morning. Check hours, they aren't open all day...

I've never been here before today, and I unfortunately live too far away to be a regular. My Americano was great and so was the atmosphere. I met with a group to hold a meeting and it was the right place. The staff were helpful offering suggestions to people and helped to accommodate a woman who needed assistance.

I've gotta admit, I'm not much of a coffee drinker...but I stumbled on this place through Facebook. Hands down my new favorite place. Great staff....great vibe....and even really great coffee. Kudos.

Exactly what an Indie coffee shop should be. Y’all can have your global chain conformist coffee shop. This joint has heart, soul and the staff to back it up.

All the beverages I've ever had here are great. The staff is super nice, and always kind to my children. The decor is pretty funky, but it matches the vibe. It's been there for years so you know they're doing something right, especially in that strip.

I’m here several times a week. This is one of my favorite places to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee while reading or playing on my tablet. I love to meet friends here to catch up. Staff here are really wonderful, every one of them. I wish they had evening hours.
