I have missed this place so much. It was my favorite coffee shop when I lived in Indianapolis, and I came back for a visit, it was the first place I went to. Everything looks great, nothing is changed too much, and the lattes are still excellent.
I had a fantastic drink later this morning. Atmosphere is nice. Staff were nice. All-around great visit. Will be back!
Love Hubby C! Delicious muffins, wonderful coffee and fast, friendly baristas. You'll find their coffee at multiple local restaurants in Broad Ripple which is a testament to its flavor
Atmosphere and decor were nice. I got a latte with an extra shot and you could barely taste any coffee flavor at all. Their espresso tasted very watery. We also got breakfast sandwiches and they definitely aren’t made fresh cause the eggs were still cold on the inside. The ham egg and cheese barely had any ham on it. Both were served on an English muffin that could have been toasted a bit.
Coffee spot better than the regular coffee chains with locally sourced coffee, beans of coffee to go. The coffee shop just like any other has a super casual vibe, pretty busy on a weekday morning between 10-12pm. The winter specials are on the sweeter side (Eggnog and Spiced Pumpkin Pie Latte)- personally I prefer less sweetness, may work well for the rest. Fresh scones and muffins to pair with coffee. Service is quick and professional, was a good hangout spot on a very rainy day.
Stopped in to grab a cup of Joe. Maddie (Maddy?) was the barista whom made my iced Pumpkin Pie Latte. She was super sweet upon walking in. Natalie was the other gal whom was busy restocking and cleaning. She too was super nice as well. I've read some of the other reviews and I have to say that my experience was quite the opposite. This location may be experiencing issues with being short staffed so their closing hours may change, but that doesn't mean their quality while open has gone down. I feel like more customers could try a little understanding and patience. I was in the middle of my work day and I chose to be patient and understanding. And you know what? My experience was amazing because of that and these wonderful ladies. I most definitely will make it a point to stop by here when I am in the area.
For someone seeking that third wave coffee experience, I have faith H&C will deliver for you. I've tried many, many Indy coffee shops with mixed (mostly "meh") results.Went to H&C on a Saturday morning, got their El Salvador. Went back near closing time for another hit of El Salvador and bought a bag of whole beans to take home. Using a Hario V60 with hemp or linen filters, I can easily duplicate the delicious results they served me on that Saturday.Roast date on my bag was about a month out, but the results can't be argued. Truly fantastic pour. You can tell a bit by the size and uniformity of beans that they're sourcing quality and the roast was dead on. You'll want to periodically take a sniff from the bag. It's...crack.Of course I went the following day, Sunday, and they were pouring a different coffee. Peruvian, maybe? I don't recall, but it was also fabulous. I will be back. No doubt whatsoever.This is one of the very, very rare shops that's clearly at the top of their game. How they can batch brew with this level of excellence I have no idea, but I can say it's a rare find, typically reserved for shops that offer pour overs. I'm delighted to have discovered this gem of coffee shop that's clearly serious about actual coffee.I also find it cool that you can get nice gear there; I spotted a Hario and an Aeropress and some other stuff on the wall on my way out the door. Excellent.
I am very picky about my coffee and I usually find it so hard to find a place that makes consistently good coffee. There is nothing more disheartening than finding a place that makes good coffee but only when certain people make it. At Hubbard and cravens it doesn’t matter who is on bar, I know I’m going to get an amazing latte every time I order. I have yet to have a bad coffee from there and I have ordered a lot of lattes ? the thing that stands out to me is that even when they are busy they don’t sacrifice on quality. You get your drink quickly but it doesn’t taste like it was made in a rushed manner. Also, let me just say the staff is so nice and amazing. My husband and I go every weekend and they take the time to talk to us even when they are busy. We drive all the way from Westfield just to come get coffee from them
Mariel and Rose are both awesome and it was so good seeing them at Hubbard & Cravens! They’re both so sweet and great at their jobs. Mariel suggested that I get a coffee shaker and it was yummy. I will definitely be back and I’m so glad it’s in such a great location right near Broad Ripple. There is a lot of room in the coffee shop to do work, go on dates, etc.
Huge fan of this spot. I’ve been serval times. Good coffee. Great environment to meet someone or work quietly.
