So lovey! I love the cold brew with maple brown sugar syrup. And the Ube Latte? Absolutely pro.

We made sure to visit Helm while we were in Indianapolis this past weekend. The owner was serving customers and on top of making maybe the best pourover I've ever had was incredibly cool to talk to. My husband is a casual coffee aficionado and she was more than happy to talk shop with him, even as she's preparing to go to nationals soon. The vibes in the shop were immaculate and holy cow are the beans good. Also, if you're hungry, the savory hand pie was delicious. Can't recommend highly enough!

Highly recommend to all and especially coffee nerds. It's the best pourover I've had so far (Chicago, Milwaukee, Austin). All the positive notes I'm able to get home brewing but no negative notes at all. That is not common at all. Jillion was super chill and nice, happy to discuss brewing methods. Good luck in Portland at Nationals! I can't wait to dive into the bags I bought.

Love this spot. From the hand roasting of the coffee beans you drink right on location to the focus on sustainability and community, this is my kind of coffee shop.

My new favorite coffee shop! I love that they roast their own beans and make their own syrups. The ginger latte is incredible, replacing my previous favorite maple brown sugar cold brew. The owners are also so friendly and have worked hard to successfully create a welcoming and inclusive community. I love this place!

Absolutely wonderful queer-owned inclusive spot. The owners were personable, kind, and made our morning! Wonderful atmosphere with live acoustic music, and a great focus on sustainability. Will definitely come back!

Too expensive and the coffee was not as great. The staff were extremely friendly though! The atmosphere was nice. I don’t think I would be coming back. For two Lattes and a cookie we spent close to $22

I love to support a local women and LGBTQ owned business. I like that the cups are reusable and the drink was good but my pastry tasted like nothing which was weird and it was more expensive than nearly all of the other local coffee shops I've tried

Amazing, Fresh and Tasty coffee! The House Blend Dark Roast is our favorite, but the competition blends are extremely good as well. Can't wait to stop in for another bag here soon 😁

Friendly knowledgeable staff. They don't serve just plain old run-of-the-mill coffee. This is a place to get specialty stuff at decent prices.

Visited Helm Coffee on a recent trip to Indianapolis and absolutely fell in love with the place. The vibe in the coffee shop is top notch and a large garage door facade brightens up the space well. There are cozy seating arrangements available at Helm and we opted to have our coffee at the shop and enjoy the space. To the left of the space is the counter where ordering can be done; to the right hand side is the coffee roasting station. The staff was warm and inviting and made the trip all that much more enjoyable. I opted for a maple latte which was crafted with precision and was absolutely delicious. My two travel partners each had a cup of coffee which was freshly brewed while we were ordering and refills of the drip coffee while there only run $1. In addition to our coffee purchases enjoyed while there, I also purchased a bag of their freshly roasted coffee to bring home with me, as well. Can't wait to brew it up shortly! If Helm Coffee was in my own local neighborhood, this would be the kind of place I could visit each day. If ever back in Indianapolis, I'll certainly be visiting Helm Coffee again!
