It’s no secret that I love coffee and maybe even more, coffee shops. Indianapolis is home to some wonderful locally owned coffee shops. For local clients, I always suggest meeting at a coffee shop that is a good half way point for the two of us. Why coffee shops? Because they are a neutral ground, whether you like coffee, tea, smoothies, juice-there is something for everyone!

Everyone always asks me, “where is a good place to meet near x and x?” So today I am ranking my Top Ten Favorite Indianapolis Coffee Shops to Meet Clients!

1. Della Leva (FISHERS)- on 106th street just off of I69, you’ll find this gem. During the day, almost everyone in the shop is working. They have the best breakfast (cinnamon roll or bacon sandwich is the way to go!)
2. Hoitea Toitea (BROAD RIPPLE)- bringing it back to my Broad Ripple roots, I can’t drive by and NOT stop. They have my favorite Iced Vanilla Latte in the entire city (best prices per once too!) This shop is set up perfectly for business meetings, with little nooks and crannies for privacy and to hold your meeting without distraction.
3. Calvin Fletchers (FOUNTAIN SQUARE)- If you happen to be in Fountain Square you have to stop everything you’re doing and grab a frozen hot chocolate (add expresso, of course!) But really, this is a great place in the area to grab coffee with a client!
4. Kaffine Coffee Co. (DOWNTOWN INDY)- not only will it be the easiest parking downtown, but they have awesome wifi.
5. Falls Perk (PENDLETON)- for those on the northeast side of town, this spot has great parking, awesome decor (cats & dinosaurs-in the best way!) also passes the iced latte test.
6. Monon Coffee CO. (BROAD RIPPLE)- if you decide to meet clients here, you may want to sneak in a few minutes early to grab a spot. Tables fill up fast, but this place is a gem.
7. Bee Coffee Roasters (EAGLE CREEK)- ample parking and literally the best grounds ever.
8. SoHo Cafe (CARMEL)- I meet a lot of my mentorship clients here as its fairly easy to get here, lots of parking, good wifi, tons of tables and comfy chairs, and they have a menu to order food. If I plan on having a half-day meeting; this is where we go!
9. Indie Coffee Roasters (CARMEL)- This place is bound to make you happy when you walk in. The natural light aesthetic, beautiful white wash, and awesome coffee is everything.
10. The Well (FISHERS)- Sitting right off of 116th and i69 in Fishers, The Well is easily accessible and the perfect place to host a meeting. They truly have everything on their menu. From drip to smoothies, their is something for everyone!

Would 110% recommend an iced vanilla latte at all of these places.
