This coffee shop is straight out of the 70s with a modern and artistic flair! This is a colorful mural painted on the wall that reads "Good Things Happen Here." There are pops of color all throughout this coffee shop from the orange chairs to the bright painted walls throughout the space. They support local artisans as well with handmade jewelry, pottery, and artwork hanging on the walls.The coffee is delicious! I got a seasonal latte - Orange Chocolate (not pictured) and the Hot Honey Bacon Bagel. It's a plain bagel with cream cheese, crispy bacon, and Cholula hot honey drizzled on top. It was scrumptious! The latte had the perfect balance of orange zest and chocolate sauce, not too sweet.The baristas were great and super nice! The barista helped provide a couple options as I was between two lattes. Everyone was super nice and quick service! Will definitely be coming back here soon!

I may now have a new obsession with their chai lattes! So good! They have tons of alternatives to whole milk to add to your beverages as well.Food menu has a great variety as well! I've been wanting to try Sidedoor Bagels and found out that this cafe partners with them so I finally got my wish! Coming back weekly now!

Walking into the Groovy Cat Cafe is like stepping back in time. The interior is painted in a classic 70's teal, and iconic emblems of the 70's adorn the walls. Groovy Cat really pays attention to every detail in the ambiance of the cafe, from the 70's tunes blaring overhead to even decorating the napkin dispensers with cards from 70's TV shows! Of course, Groovy Cat does have many "modern" amenities, like free WiFi (perfect for me, who came to do some work on my computer!) and several different seating options. I chose to set up my "work space" in the back on one of the comfy couches, but there are also several tables and a countertop space. As for the food and drinks at Groovy Cat, the prices are considerably more expensive than other local coffee shops like Geist Coffee or SchoolHouse 7. My 12-oz mocha (the smallest size available) was $6, and one slice of cinnamon swirl bread was $4. I looked at the menu while I was waiting in line, and one egg sandwich was $10! Quite honestly, I don't think that the quality of the drink or food matched the steep price. I liked the idea of a Valentine's-themed chocolate covered strawberry mocha, but I could only taste the chocolate flavor in the drink. If mocha's not your thing, Groovy Cat also offers lattes of several different flavors, from vanilla to lavender, as well as teas and Italian lemonades. One thing that I loved about Groovy Cat was that everyone on the staff was so kind and courteous. I was sitting next to the speaker and the loud music was a little distracting to me while I was trying to do my work, and one of the staff members came and adjusted the volume for me. Also, my mocha was ready within 2 minutes of ordering. Groovy Cat is a great place to study or get some remote work done, all while enjoying some unique drinks and food options.

THE GROOVIEST! This place is awesome! I walked in here after being recommended it by a local shop down the road, and I am so glad that I did! The vibes are indeed groovy as ever! The place is vibrant and has tables, chairs, and couches to sit on. They offer coffee, tea, and munchies. The gal who recommended this place to me said that the food is amazing, but today, I just wanted coffee. They had a summer syrup - Honey-Lavender, so I opted for an Iced Honey-Lavender Latte with Oatmilk and it was delicious! The two folks working today were so kind! I can't wait to go back and try some of their food offerings and do some work there!

Hands down my favorite coffee shop on the north side of Indy. Located in an unassuming strip mall, Groovy Cat is a nostalgic throwback to the 70s with it's vibe - but the menu captures everything you could ask for in a current day cafe. This family owned spot makes their own syrup (medium iced oat milk lavender latte on repeat, thank you very much). They have an incredible food menu (my go-to is a Sidedoor Rosemary sea salt bagel toasted with cream cheese)...the sandwiches and toast are to die for. And the rotating homemade bakery items? Words won't do them justice - just hit that "follow" on their Facebook to see what they're baking up and thank me later. And the number one reason to check them out? The owners and staff are beyond friendly and kind.Pro-tip: There are three schools located within a block of the cafe, so keep that in mind when you stop in from a traffic perspective. Sometimes it takes a minute to get into the large parking lot, but it's worth it, I promise.

Great find!! We were driving through the area, saw it on the Yelp list. Friendly welcome. Thank you! Counter service. Sweet, groovy, chill vibe. Love the orange chairs. A corner seating area has couches and a leather chair. Nicely decorated. A bright, sunny place on a gloomy day!! :)I tried my husband's chicken caprese sandwich - it was yummy, Get it on rye bread! I got a harvest salad and wow it was nice sized! I fell in love with their maple apple cider vinaigrette!! I thought about asking if I could buy some for home it was so good. Hot chocolate perfect for cold rainy day and I got an Americano for the ride home - it was perfect, no bitterness. Oh we got a slice of cake - olive oil blood orange? Very moist, so sooo good!! I highly recommend this cafe and hope to return soon!!! Happy to have found the Groovy Cat Cafe today!!

Great locally owned coffee shop. They do not have cats. Instead they have a wonderful modern vintage vibe. Think updated 70s. The coffee is at a drinkable temperature. They offer lots of milk options for those of us avoiding dairy. Need food? They have you covered. I'm going to get a cupcake the next time. She makes them in house. Baked goods, breakfast foods, quiches, and lunch options grace their menu.

This space has a great vibe. Everyone was super friendly too. They have some couches and comfy chairs to sit on, in addition to some tables and chairs. They serve breakfast and lunch and have a barista for your coffee needs. They serve tinker coffee and side door bagels. We really enjoyed our coffees. The bagels were great too. I need to go back and try the homemade pretzel buns!

I don't know how I've missed this place up until now! My internet was out one day and I was looking for a place to catch up on work. The location is really convenient for me and I love the vibe! The barista was super friendly and helped me decide on an iced latte with one of their house-made syrups and I was happy to find a gluten free peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. My latte was great but it was the cookie for me. I will absolutely be going back for more of those.
