Sadly Bee is no longer at their Downtown Indy location……i hope they gather themselves and join us here in center city again….I WAS So glad to have Bee in the downtown coffee game! Their barrel rested/aged roasts are so uniquely flavorful. A must have for any coffee OCD person like myself.

What an awesome coffee shop. The barista was extremely knowledgeable, patiently answering my questions about the roast origins and uses. I even got some nifty recommendations about what to visit in the city.Loved the small reading nook by the windows. Great experience!*Update 1 year later: Still phenomenal service, and the honey latte is delicious! New favorite!

Bee is my favorite local roaster, hands down! Their variety of coffees is incredible and it seems like they have a flavor profile to fit every person’s tastes — from fruity and light to chocolatey and rich plus everything in between. They even have a bourbon barrel-aged coffee that is oh so smooth. Inside the cafe, the staff is super friendly. I also love that they’re a little nerdy (like me).

BEST COFFEE IN INDY!Dairy free people: the mocha made with macadamia milk is the best non dairy drink youll ever have.

Consistently perfect Lattes. One of my top go to coffee shops.

Good coffe. Nice ambiance

I like it here, great food & service. Looking forward to a return visit. Bring your appetite because portions are filling. Atmosphere is similar to a cafe in San Jose I loved.

Great downtown stop for coffee. Friendly service. Great foam work.

No no no, not great at all. Not a high end coffee shop. More like stadium coffee or something.

Great service. There was only one worker and she did such a great job gettung everyone taken care of quickly.The coffee is wonderful I had a salted Carmel Mocha latte. Thanks!

The coffee is very good! The service is friendly and fast!

Real good coffee. my brother is working next to it and I had to wait for him to finish his meeting so I had some time to kill and now I have a new coffee place

Excellent coffee experience!!You will not be disappointed!

Great little café! In addition to making drinks, they carry quite a variety of good beans, pretty solid merch, and little breakfast snacks.

We have been coming to 85 for many years and it has always been a solid shop. You cant go wrong with basically any pastry but their drinks can sometimes be hit or miss depending on the location and what you order. However, this visit I especially enjoyed the 85 iced coffee with coffee jelly. It wasnt overly sweet, the right amount of milk, and good strong coffee flavor.

Cortado very tasty.

Great little spot right across from the convention center. Very cool and distinct flavors on their lattes. Friendly staff as well.

Friendly, easy going staff. Nice cappuccino. Eclectic and honest.

I had their lavender and honey cap with oat milk & it was heavenly. The barista was also very happy & helpful!

Great coffee, friendly staff. Cant ask for much more.

My favorite downtown indy coffee spot

Always memorable delicious during my yearly pilgrimage! Staff is entertaining and friendly, even when slammed.

Best coffee ever. Nice clean place, and great customer service. Can’t ask for more.

Bee Coffee Roasters is hands down the best coffee shop in Indy. The beans, the variety, the house made sauces, the atmosphere, the staff, the owners, and so much more. I am about to leave Indy, but I can swear to you that any time I’m back this will be the ONLY coffee shop I come to! Thanks for such an incredible experience, Bee’s!

The honey bee iced latte is one of the best lattes I’ve ever had!

Awesome all year, especially for conventions! Great coffee and breakfast for your sweet tooth. Super friendly staff. One of my favorite spots in Indy. Be sure to try their coffee! The place even has a great smell.

Excellent Cappuccino and Pour Overs. Friendly and Experienced. Enjoyed my coffee right across from the entrance to the Indianapolis Convention Center. Give them a try

Great Coffee in DT Indy, not much to eat, but the coffee is top notch, and the staff is super nice

Sam and his team are the best! Knowledgeable about the product and always pleasant regardless of how busy they are. I wish they had one in Atlanta (as long as they could clone Sam and his team).

Had the honeybee latte iced with half the syrup. LOVED IT. Will be back. Very helpful staff. I could see it being slow with the one employee during a busier time.Store was on the small side. Inside there is a two-person table and maybe 4-6 bar stools. Outside, there is two picnic tables.

The most tasty coffee around indy

Great spot right downtown. Coffee is good. Could use more staff. Only one person behind the counter and had to wait 15 minutes for 2 Capps even though there were only two folks ahead of me. Still, it’s a good place.

Visiting from Cleveland and my hotel coffee is terrible! So glad I found this coffee and pastry shop. I saw the turquoise color from the street and I had to go in!The drip coffee is amazing and the croissants are the best I have ever had, baked fresh daily and locally. I have come here every morning since I got here and I will miss this local gem!!

Couldnt bee any more awesome, so thrilled this quaint coffee shop is right by the convention center and my hotel. Amazing selection, Indy Slow Food designation and delicious, healthy options. Great service, they even helped me clean up a coffee spill on my new dress!

The Hand Brew Columbia is just as described with a nutty build to a semi-fruity finish. Atmosphere is pretty typical of a smaller coffee shop. I was able to sit and sift through a few emails and remain productive with the bustle in the background. Staff was friendly as well. Would recommend.

They were quick to cater to my companys need for large amounts of coffee for an event. With only a moments notice! Great tasting coffee and great personalities making it. Seven thumbs up!

When at the convention center this is a great foodie refuge in the tourist trap area. The traditional espresso drinks and pour overs are fine, nothing to complain about but nothing to rave about either. On the other hand their Chai tea is made in house and is wonderful! They also have been very good over the couple years Ive been in of trying new things which I always appreciate.

They make a great cup of coffee. Located right next to convention center. Easy to get to. Decent breakfast burritos for not being Central US. Loved it here. Spent a couple days visiting this shop while in town for Gospel Coalition Conference.

Some of the best and freshest roasted coffee in downtown Indy, especially great for those early mornings after an all night gaming session! Or so I’ve heard from “a friend”😏

The ladies at the counter were patient with me while I tried to figure out which latte I wanted. And my latte was divine 😍 cant wait to go back!

Down to earth, pure awesome coffee and a good price. The pour overs put drip coffee to shame.When ever I am at the convention center, this place is usually my start and middle and end of my day.

Love, love, LOVE this coffee shop! I come here almost every day to get school work done and it is a great, relaxed atmosphere with very friendly staff! Their coffee is to die for and their smoothies taste so clean and natural. Highly recommend this shop!

We ordered lattes with extra espresso shots and when we got our coffees it was all completely foam. For a $6 coffee, I expected it to taste like something other than foamy milk, I actually never got a drink of any liquid. Also we ordered a large and I said and a small but the guy taking my order said we dont have a small, its a medium. There were only two size options on their menu.

Love this place. Very friendly and great coffee. They always stay open 24 hours during Gen Con and theme the shop and drinks. They also wear costumes that weekend. I usually stop by at least 4 or 5 tines during my stay in Indy for the convention.

Good service. Nice selection of snacks and drinks. Very reasonable prices and I loved my drink. Good place for travelers to start their morning.

What a disappointment! Came from out of town to check out this place and they had nothing! No hazelnut syrup for my coffee, no breakfast burritos( which are on the menu) and no ceramic mugs for sale. When we asked about the mugs, the owners replied” I guess I can run down to the basement if you really want a mug”. Well then, I guess we don’t want one if we are going to inconvenience him. So my wife and I ordered a coffee and a bagel. And the bagel was toasted, but they couldn’t even take the time to spreed the cream cheese on the bagel! I thought that such I paid so much for a bagel, you could at least put the cream cheese on it for me🤦🏻‍♂️ I guarantee that I’ll never bee back here again!

This place is pretty tiny, but the service and products are worth it! I ordered a strawberry-mango smoothie and it was amazing! The mango tasted really good and natural, which doesnt always happen depending on your cafe. Their pastries are pretty tasty too :)

Bee is added to my very small list of places in Indianapolis where you can get good proper coffee. Good balanced flavor, good consistency on the milk, and good temperature. Nice work!

Bee is a good coffee spot. Not in my top five in the city but good place to go if youre at the convention center and want a real coffee.

18 and 29 the two baristas were, and they were supremely pleasant. If I didnt have to catch the bus, I could have stayed for a chat and sipped affordable brews all day.The latte was fast, the iced - was cheap, and the best part? Not only did they have milk substitutes but they had a wide-variety covering everything from soy to oat!Great place, and while just a little father than Starbucks from the bus station, the cost and familiarity was well worth the extra round arou around the beautiful neighborhoods block.

Best cappuccino in the city. And it’s aesthetically pleasing and usually quiet.

Very good place to get a pour over. Staff was super friendly and the coffee was 8/10.

Very good coffee. Bought some coffee while at convention center during Popcon. They are conveniently located across the street.I had to come back the next day, from home, because my credit card was not given back.However they gave me free coffee for my inconvenience.Will definitely return whenever I am in downtown Indianapolis.

Great local coffee shop. Check it out next time you are nearby. You won’t regret it.

They had a great espresso (Im from Europe, so I was dying to have a good European espresso!), amazing energy and great staff!

Bee isnt bad. We have a regular meetup there once a week and it works for that. It may be a function of the early mornings when we arrive but service is generally slow but good and the product delicious. I think theyre still figuring things out a bit so things may well continue to improve

Reasonably priced and full flavor coffee. They try to balance seating and mechandise sales given traffic flow. Good setting for a quick seat or grab and go drinks.

Spectacular coffee and grab and go breakfast. Keeps up with Gen Con without skipping a beat. Best iced coffee Ive ever had, bar none.

Great coffee shop! Coffee tastes great!

Came in for a black coffee and they recommended the Asiago cheese bagel. Both were absolutely fantastic! Price is definitely right.

Really nice people and delicious coffee! Recommend the Peru pour over and traditional cappuccino

The Doctor is the best coffee drink I have ever had. Absolutely delicious! YUM

Awesome service and knowledgeable about product. Made great suggestion for my guest who wanted something different.

This could be my favorite coffee shop in Indy. They always have a rotating selection of beans from different growth regions. The espresso drinks include classic and inventive options. There is a good selection of pasteries to round out your cuppa.Seating is very limited with a window counter, a single table, and a few seats in the corner. I love how they take part in local events, like GenCon, with themed menu items. If youre downtown, skip the larger coffee chains and give these local guys a try.

This place is incredible! The staff are incredibly friendly, the drinks are delicious, and they even have prepared foods and snacks. My favorite thing about this place is how involved they get during Gencon and Comic Con! During Gencon they have punch-cards that let you earn dice, and during both conventions they have themed drinks! Generally the staff dresses up and geeks out too! Fairly priced too.

The Honey Bee Iced Latte was delicious! Hands down the best food/drink item Ive gotten since Ive been in Indy.

Bees has such unique drinks, and is an absolute MUST VISIT during Gen Con.

Loved the cold brew, so delicious. However waited 30 min for it, understandably busy. But, also very small setup for a nice place.

Got the lavender honey coffee and almond scone. Both were amazing and the barista was wonderful!

Comes to coffee, my family and I always find ourselves turning our backs to this coffee shop. Their regular coffee, espresso, caffé americano, café latte, cappuccino, long black, and even their smoothies have a distinct taste that makes them stand-out from the rest. One of their amicable waiters has also told us that their baristas underwent long-spanned training before brewing behind the shop’s bar which is why they perfectly craft latte art and make the best-tasting coffees.

If you like coffee. Youll love this place! Everything was done to perfection and with a genuine smile.

I chose the “Stupid Cupid” this morning. It was AMAZING!!! Great job!!!

Great coffee, nice people, good location and atmosphere. Go to this place. I had the black pour over (I cant pronounce it, started with a k) and it was good.

Bees has always been polite, efficient, and witty even in the face of huge crowds. Love these guys!

Love the coffee. This is a great place. A must try

Creative summer drinks and a cozy location tucked into the downtown bustle.

Tasty coffee and a relaxed atmosphere. They have wifi that works(!) and one of the best coffee spots I have found in Indy.

Excellent coffee! Small place but good atmosphere. Stopping here is a MUST! It’s worth it.

Small space, great coffee. Australian style coffee

Good coffee, excellent barista-styled drinks. Not much seating. Great Geeky menu names.

Small but mighty. Go here if you’re someone that likes to wax poetic about your favorite single origin roasts and brew methods.

I have seached Indy for real coffee, visited 4 other coffee shops(they shall not be named) in 2 days, and was about to give up when there was a small glimpse of hope when i found Bees web page. Real espresso machine and a real Barista to use it. I drove 30 min out of my way and wasnt disappointed. Finally got my morning latte WITH latte art that stayed till the bottom of the cup. Thank you Bee. Indianapolis would be dark without you.

The best coffee in Indy. Great coffee beans. It is so fortunate that Indy has the Bee Coffee Roasters!

Bee Coffee Roasters had some of the best coffee I have ever had. While I was in town I went there at least twice a day. They also typically have a wide selection of coffees to choose from and even have some exotic brews.

Nice people, strong coffee. I was bummed about their hours though. I was at a conference across the street and really wanted some over the weekend and found that it was closed.

Absolutely love their Chai. I wish they were open at 5am when the Amtrak comes through.

A friendly, creative, and knowledgeable staff! Great tea lattes.

Very friendly and informative. Love there expresso drinks !

Comfortable space, friendly staff, and their roasted coffee and signature cappuccinos that we purchased were both enjoyable.

Amazing coffee and service. Great quality merchandise for those interested as well

Got a hazelnut Latte. Coffee was rich, strong and deeply flavorful. Id come back at the drop of a hat!

Good coffee and great service. Nice quiet part near downtown Indy. Not a lot of seating but places nearby to enjoy your coffee.

Even when as busy as their namesake they get out good coffee. I thank you as a GenCon attendee often in need of coffee.

We are definitely loving this coffee shop! When it comes to coffee, my family and I always find ourselves turning our backs to this coffee shop. Their regular coffee, espresso, caffé americano, café latte, cappuccino, long black, and even their smoothies have a distinct taste that makes them stand-out from the rest. One of their amicable waiters has also told us that their baristas underwent long-spanned training before brewing behind the shop’s bar which is why they perfectly craft latte art and make the best-tasting coffees.

Excellent coffee, excellent staff, excellent owners. Wonderful atmosphere.

Coffee and croissants were yummy! Worth coming back for their special kinds of coffee ;)

Honestly the best iced coffee in Indy. Right outside the convention hall and just WOW. They even do coffee catering with some notice.

My go-to place for GenCon! I love how much fun the staff has during big events!

This drink is amazing and they were very kind!!

Great espresso. Fun staff.
