Making people and ideas findable

I'm always looking for locally owned coffee shops around Indianapolis. What are your favorites?

By work I have azy Daze. Good Coffee, Great People. it was a blessing to find this jem was on my way to work

By home and what I truly love is Monon Coffee. They have great coffee, great people, a great mix of non-coffee options and a very good mix of goodies.

I enjoy Lazy Days in Irvington, Bean Cup and Strange Brew in Greenwood, and of course I "live" at Bjava on the west side!

Do check out Eric's indycoffee.com.

I agree...Strange Brew in Greenwood is delicious and the owners are really nice too. If you ever find yourself in Bloomington be sure to check out Soma. Not only is the coffee amazing, but the juices are all fresh squeezed and made to order.

Big fan of Lazy Daze in Irvington, Bean Cup in Greenwood, Hubbard & Cravens and Perk Up in Broad Ripple, and of course, BJ Davis' Bjava. I always schedule my meetings at those places.

Lazy Daze is by far my favorite (although, I worked there for a year, so I'm a bit biased). Try the Dirty Hippie (Chai tea and espresso latte, hot or cold, with whip cream, cinnamon, and nutmeg)- it's the best in town (I tried one at Starbucks, and it wasn't nearly as good). Also, the baristas make their own specialty drinks that are equally good. I used to make a white chocolate/dark chocolate (a.k.a Zebra) Peppermint latte that was awesome. In the summer there are also really good fruit and red tea smoothies.

I also remember Katy made some of the best cocomochanut lattes. We miss you there, Kate.

I need to amend my last comment a bit. It was KATE that I was referring to, not Katy. Sorry about that. Kate made some of the best cocomochanut lattes.
