After moving to Indy, Zane and Ali made it a goal to discover as many local coffee shops as they could. Enjoy this compilation of their favorite coffee shops around Indy:

Landlocked

Go here for: the pastries! Yes, the coffee is some of our favorite in the city but the pastries are unmatched!!

Ali's recommendation: pistachio latte and the everything seasoning pastry.

Zane's recommendation: Either the demerara latte or the lime leaf latte (whichever is in season) and also the everything bagel pastry.

Tinker Coffee

(downtown location)

Go here for: high quality coffee! Fun fact: Tinker coffee also has two stalls at the Indianapolis Intl Airport so if you're flying out, be sure to grab some before you go!

Ali's recommendation: Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte

Zane's recommendation: Nitro cold brew

Parlor Public House

Go here for: The ~vibes~. This space is honestly so gorgeous with its lush, green plants and comfy furniture. If you're looking for an instagram-worthy spot for coffee, this is it. They also serve cocktails after 5pm!

Ali's recommendation: Horchata Latte

Zane's recommendation: anything seasonal

Bovaconti

Go here for: The neighborhood! This coffee shop is right down the street from Ali & Zane's current house and may have been one of the reasons they looked to move to the area.

Ali's recommendation: Café Miel, hands down my favorite in the city

Zane's recommendation: Tiger eye - chai and espresso, a perfect combo.

Metazoa

- This brewery has a dog park, rotating food trucks, and award winning beer which obviously means its one of our favorites.
