This is on my "must do" list when visiting downtown Indy. The coffee drinks are unique with well balanced flavor profiles.

Kind of a hidden gem. Was looking for a place that had good seating for working while also having a good cup of coffee. This place did not disappoint. Would highly recommend.

Maybe it was an off day but they don’t know how to make an espresso. They made me the most bitter espresso I have ever had.

Definite hipster vibe. The baked goods looked good, but I just went for a bagel with cream cheese and an espresso. Unfortunately the espresso was sour and the bagel was average. My wife's flat white had some foam which is a little different, but her breakfast sandwich was decent.

One of the best coffee spots in town! The butterscotch latte is top notch.

There is a local artist who does work here, John Vazquez. Must stop in here if only to see his work.

I had a (hot) latte and hubby the butterscotch - both were very good and the ambiance was chill. We had a seat by the window and sipped our coffee as we people watched

We stopped by here for breakfast after walking over from AirBnB. The entrance was quite inviting with a staircase leading up to the cafe. The color palette was this old rustic sort of feeling. The actual cafe was very similar to a coat check area; it was an interesting concept to say the least. It was quite packed when we arrived so we had to wait in line for a few minutes before ordering. I wish there was a QR code or something to access the menu or view before we got to the front of the line. There were a few paper handouts at the front of the line so we were able to quickly glance to figure out what we wanted. We went for a croissant, Pistachio Latte, and a Butterscotch Latte. We had a little difficulty trying to find seating and didn’t feel comfortable walking up with lattes up the staircase so we found some seating to the side (benches) where we could sit. We had a chance to read up on the history of breweries in Indianapolis especially around the Prohibition Era that was quite interesting. The croissant and lattes were delicious. After finishing, we took some time to walk up the stairs where we found more seating, a bar area, and art pieces. We walked around there and observed all the different items. I definitely recommend everyone checkout Coat Check if they’re in Indy!

I ordered an iced demerara latte when I visited for the first time a couple weekends ago and I've been craving it ever since! I had a few underwhelming coffee experiences recently, but this one was SO GOOD! There's a lot of seating available and the barista was friendly and helpful. I also ordered a brown butter chocolate chip cookie with sea salt and that was great too. I wish it hadn't taken me so long to try Coat Check and can't wait to go again soon.

Worst place! Over priced coffee and terrible service. No seats and very quite. You're better off trying to drink Starbucks at a library.

Wonderful and quality service, staff and food/beverages! Great place for a quick/casual business meeting, place to study or work!

Coat Check Cafe is a fantastic spot to grab some coffee or a bite to eat. I tried their Butterscotch Latte, Croissant, and Caprese, and was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the food and drink. The latte was especially delicious, with a rich and creamy butterscotch flavor that was perfectly balanced with a hint of orange. The Caprese was also outstanding, with fresh mozzarella, pesto, and balsamic glaze all coming together to create a delicious and satisfying dish. The Croissant was flaky and buttery, with just the right amount of crunch. While I think Coat Check Cafe is definitely worth a visit, I must admit that the prices are quite steep. As a college student, I found the rates to be a bit unreasonable, and I think that this may be a deterrent for some potential customers. Additionally, I found their two-hour policy to be a bit perplexing. As a cafe, I would expect that Coat Check would be a place where people can come to study or work for extended periods of time. However, their policy seems to discourage this type of customer behavior, which I think is not very effective or customer-friendly. Overall, I still think that Coat Check Cafe is a great spot to check out, but their policies and prices may not be the best fit for everyone.

This is a wonderful coffee shop in an incredibly unique space. Latte art was perfect and the barista was so kind. There was a patron doing Tarot readings on zoom with their computer volume all the way up, which to me, is unforgivable. Otherwise exceptional coffee shop. 10/10.

The space was really cool and open, drink was delicious, and most of all the barista who took my order (didn’t catch his name but he had a mullet kind of haircut!) was very friendly and engaging and chatting with him while waiting for my drink made the experience pleasant!

Such a variety of seating options, and a large area to roam. Love to get a little work done after my workout at the Y.

This place is pricey (40 bucks for a bagel and coffee for two) but they had a bagel sandwhich (vegan pesto) here that was wayy worth the cost!! Unfortunitely this time around the sandwhich was put on a cheap hamburger bun instead of the usual crispy bagel, it tasted like canned tomatos were used instead of fresh like usual, and they forgot the vinaigrette that really elevates the sandwhich. I wish they would have told us they were out of most of the ingredients before we ordered, please bring this classic sandwhich back :( employees are nice though
