Java House (Broad Ripple)

Always the best way to start a day when the two Olivias are working!

Great location, great space, awesome decor and good coffee. Would recommend.

A coffee house with both the look and the vibe of a "serious" coffee house. My first coffee (a hot "Honey" latte) was decent. (Being that I stopped by on a chilly April morning, it might be something the barrista expects to be requested.) I'm still not convinced about the overall coffee taste, but I will withhold final judgement until I have tried a few more coffees. Otherwise, the Java House is a delightful addition to the neighborhood!

The breakfast sandwiches were really good but I didn't like my drink, it was called Green Momma and I asked if it was a matcha tea latte and the barista said yes but it was not! It was not green and it was not matcha. It was gross

Extra star for the clean/vibrant interior. That’s about it.

Weakest chai I’ve ever had in my life. My friends and I came in (we don’t drink coffee but love chai), tempted by the Google ratings. We were so disappointed. The iced chais looked and tasted entirely of milk. Probably because it was only 25% chai. The guy ended up topping off my cup with more “chai concentrate” which did help it to taste vaguely of chai.

And LOL $7 for this disaster. What a joke. Y’all best be paying your staff a living wage with prices like that. ($16/hr+, for those who don’t know the current Indiana LW).

The nitro cold brew is excellent and their outdoor seating is right on the monon trail.

I brought my 5yr old and her playdate buddy here, along with another mom. It was a cute place for two kids to enjoy hot cocoas, and coffee (for the adults) after they had played outside in chilly weather at the Indy art center.

It was a nice little sit down cafe, and not overly noisy like Starbucks can be.

Very quaint place, friendly staff and environment. The coffee was good! Just not a fan of the prices, I think they are a bit too high, in my opinion.

Open, airy and pretty busy. Certainly more of a corporate feel (while local and independent, I suspect) with a lot of options including multiple cold brew taps. A great vibe.

Great coffee, and cool space. Though If you go in the summer or spring, prepare to get harassed by 50 bees. I wish they would keep the garage doors closed, but keep seating outside, that way people can choose to sit outside or stay inside separate from all the bees and wasps.
