Subject: Indianapolis recommendations?
 

We are driving from St. Louis (Kaldi's) to Pittsburgh (Aldo, Espresso A Mano, Commonplace, Voluto's, Tazza d'oro) this week. Is there anywhere in or around Indianapolis worth stopping at? Normally we drive through Louisville (Quills, Sunergo's) but there's a bridge out. But I'd really like to get something on the drive.

Thanks!

Fletcher's, downtown, is among the best spots in town.  Extremely friendly, quality pulls, killer sour cream muffins.

Hubbard and Craven's in Broadripple got their Lamarzocca back and have really stepped up their game.

Bjava on the west side used to do a real nice job too.  Great cinnamon toast, too.  I have not been there in some tome however.

Not too much to speak of around here - that's why I roast and pull my shots at home! B-Ripple Ave Hubbard and Cravens is decent, although definitely not a true third-wave shop. On the west side (65 & Lafayette road), B-java is a worthy mention. If I were you I would take a bit of a detour and head up to the windy city - it's only a few hours out of the way.

Oops... sorry, didn't see you were passing through 2 months ago! Oh well if you come through again maybe this will help.
