Bali atmosphere in Indy. The prettiest ever!!! I want to live in there... how much is rent? Lol

It’s a different vibe than pretty much anywhere else in the city which I really appreciate.
2 stars off for the fact that it’s ridiculously expensive. An americano pretty much everywhere else is $3, here it’s $5. With tip we’re talking almost $7 for a couple shots of espresso and some water.
Other things to note - very little to no parking to there’s a chance you’ll have to pay for that too. They sometimes burn candles from penn & beech next door so if you’re sensitive to fragrances it’s probably best to avoid here.
Overall - vibes 10/10, experience 5/10.

The atmosphere is unparalleled and unbeatable - it is a coffee shop by day and a bar by night. We went at night with some friends but I want to try the coffee later. Quality draft beer selection which is what I had but cocktails also looked good. They played live jazz music on a Thursday evening which was wonderful

This place has all the cool indie coffee shop vibes complete with green wall. Loved my traditional latte order. Grab a seat for your next work sesh in one of the many "parlors," which are designated groupings of couches and chairs. Or, if boozy cocktails are more your thing, go after 5:00 p.m. for an impressive selection. This place is a gem!

I have not wanted to write this review because I really love supporting small businesses and honestly was really hopeful that they would work out the “kinks”. This place is adorable. Great vibes day or night. And solid drinks. But bad service will really outweigh all of the positives in my opinion. I came here on their opening day at about 3 pm. They weren’t busy yet, but we still were completely ignored while the two people behind the counter chatted. Okay, the place is cute, the matcha was solid, maybe they just needed to work out the kinks. Came back with my husband a couple weeks later for cocktails and had a better experience. (We also knew the bartender so maybe that helped with the attentiveness). Came back again a few weeks later, sat at a table and had iffy service again. Barely saw our server and it took a very long time to get cocktails. They are craft cocktails so I don’t mind waiting but this was way longer than it should have taken and they weren’t slammed by any means. Here’s where we really went wrong… A couple weekends ago we had a large group of friends in town visiting and we brought them here because we really do love the vibes and cocktails here. I’m not joking when I tell you 10 of us were sitting at the bar and the woman behind the bar never said one word to us for 25 minutes. Not a hello, not an “I’ll be with you in just a second”, nothing. When we finally decided to go somewhere else and were standing up putting our coats on to leave she told us with a very unpleasant attitude “if you want to order something you can come over here and order” (to the front counter facing the entrance where you would order coffee during the day). I’ve been there enough to know you don’t order your cocktails there, because there is a server and bartenders at night. And also, even if that’s what was required, why didn’t you say that when we sat down, not after we sat there for nearly a half hour without service. But regardless it was the worst customer service experience and I absolutely regret bringing our guests there. Giving three stars because I think this place has all the potential and honestly I really hope this review reminds them that you can have the cutest place in town but people will stop going if you provide bad/rude service. I will gladly update this review when/if the service turns around. (:

Went for a business coffee, midday. It was nice and quiet but people were there working. Sitting at one of the living room areas with a colleague and a client felt natural, calm and didnt interfere with others. Background chatter was ambient and not obtrusive.
Coffee/latte/tea selections were perfect for a cafe of this caliber. There was even wine available! I didnt stray too far from traditional with a Mocha Latte that was made to perfection. My colleagues chai latte was prepared quickly and there were no apparent complaints.
I had a croissant with chocolate that was really good. Would get it again.
Overall, staff was friendly and quick, area and atmosphere was spacious; plan to return again with or without clients.

Whenever I step in here I feel so inspired to make a space with the same feel haha. Its not personally my go-to spot for drinks, and I feel like its always crowded when I go, so I don't get to soak it in. But its a beautiful space! Aesthetic drinks for sure too, but have been hit and miss on personal expectations of the flavors (i usually stick with lattes)
I haven't yet tried cocktails yet except for just one... so I can't speak on those.

I love this place. The Aesthetic, the interior ,The atmosphere… love it. It’s very laid back, you don’t get rushed out so you can take your time and work there or have meetings and dates there. I’m so glad we have a place like this in Indy!

I found this place because they serve London Fog. ☕ I'm so happy I did because their interior is perfection. ✨ A lot of greenery and earthy colours. 🪴🌿 Not to mention, the songs played in the background are pretty killer. 👌 Definitely coming back when I'm in the area.

What an unbelievable atmosphere! Great place to catch up with a friends over Coffee or their amazing signature cocktails!
