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!

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.

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!

The butterscotch latte (hot) was so good; I almost wanted to get a second one but iced! I also ordered the brown butter cinnamon roll with orange cream cheese icing and that was delicious even though I'm not a fan of the orange flavor. Came in on Sunday late morning and the place was packed and it was hard finding a place to sit other than the benches which wasn't the most comfortable; we did end up finding a spot with the lounge chairs.

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!

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.

Can't go wrong with architecture history and a nice warm cup of coffee. Coat Check in the Athenaeum is the place to catch up with friends, colleagues or view the rotating art gallery of local artists showcased upstairs.

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. :)

I recently visited Coat Check Coffee in Indy, and I must say it's quite the hidden gem, though parking can be a bit challenging. I'd recommend finding a parking meter as close as possible and walking the rest of the way to the coffee shop.The coffee shop is located in an old historic building, adding a unique charm to the place. Upon arrival, you'll need to walk up a set of stairs that leads you into the coffee shop. The interior has plenty of seating, making it a great spot to relax or get some work done.I ordered the butterscotch latte, which includes butter, piloncillo, and orange. It was very good, though I recommend giving it a stir to mix the sauce that tends to settle at the bottom. Overall, Coat Check Coffee offers a nice experience with a nice coffee shop vibe and excellent coffee.
