“ I'm not a coffee expert but I can confirm that they have coffee. The location and interior are what make this space so special. Helpful baristas usher you into an historic space flooded with natural light and new artwork. ”

“ I've had this place on my list for so long and I finally got to try it! I was expecting just a cute little nook of a coffee shop (maybe from the name) but it was a whole thing. We stopped in on a Sunday and it was packed and we snagged the last remaining seat. I had the ginger latte and my brother tried the lavender latte. Both were delicious and so beautiful. The only complaint we had was that there wasn't a menu overhead to browse while we were waiting in line, just laminated copies on the counter. ”

“ Unique, beautiful, historic building serving coffees, tea, breakfast sandwiches, cookies and assorted pastries- I had a colossal bacon egg sandwich with the most flaky buttery biscuit - so good! Tons of historic pictures to peruse, funky and fun areas to read, or places to hunker down and get work done. Coolest cafe in the area! ”

“ Looking to fill my tank and this place is near. It is a theater coat check coffee shop, old, dark, mysterious. Very quiet with a few people on their laptops. I ordered an oat milk latte it looked beautiful, tasted amazing! ”

“ The coffee and the vibes at Coat Check are the best. So good, we went here twice while visiting Indianapolis! The Lavender Latte is INCREDIBLE. The description says "almond, rosemary, orange blossom" and that made me a little leery to order it but wowowow -- it is SO good. How can a latte have the coffee taste but also be refreshing and not be weird? Not sure but please go try one. My friends were obsessed with the cardamom bun -- so much so, they got one each day of our conference. If I'm back in Indy, I will definitely be back at Coat Check because I want to try their cocktails!! And their other food items! ”

“ This is a unique coffee shop on the first floor of the Atheneum! It is surrounded by an extensive German display of history and steins. There is plenty of seating and standing room. The atmosphere was mixed. Could have been more positive. Maybe some fun shoutouts from the staff? Our cashier was alright but the barista making the coffee barked when I asked a question. The coffee foam was pretty and the muffin was sooooo good!! I would have liked stronger coffee but I'd still probably go back for everything else. :) ”

“ We have stopped here now a few times, usually when driving some long distances and we happen to be driving through Indianapolis. But we usually always make a point of stopping here for that great cafe vibes. The food and drink have always been delicious (though this last time, the golden latte was probably a tad too sweet). We got a panini/sandwich this last time as well which was delicious. Their regular lattes/flat whites are always on point. The place itself is also very interesting. It's located in a historic church and there is a ton of cool stuff to look at and German history and its relationship with the city. The service is always quick and professional. Feel assured that if you stop here, you are getting a great drink and some great historical information as well! ”

“ This is probably my favorite place to get coffee. It can get crowded at times, so seating can be a challenge. Sometimes we have to sit on the couches, instead of at a table. The upstairs is great, but it isn't always open. Their coffee is great. Their chocolate latte is amazing, but the drip coffee, espresso, and cappuccinos are all good too. ”

“ This is the perfect place to camp out and get work done! There's tons of seating on multiple floors and I noticed a fair amount of outlets to charge devices. I personally work better in bright, well-lit cafes so if you're not a fan of dimmer lighting, I recommend grabbing a window seat to get some natural light. Service was not that memorable. The barista seemed a tad bit aloof, but she made me a great drink filled to the brim! The iced butterscotch latte with oat milk was VERY good. I was worried about it being too sweet, but I was still able to really taste the espresso which was perfect. Not artificial tasting at all. I also got a hint of the orange peel at the end of the drink which was a nice surprise. It kills me to spend $8 on a latte, but since this was my first time I decided to treat myself. If you don't order a specialty latte, the other drinks are reasonably priced! ”
