Mile Square Coffee

Perched on a balcony overlooking the bustling City Market, this small coffee shop made me a very tasty espresso. I'm an experienced espresso fan and theirs was among the best. The fat raspberry croissant was a winner too. Flakey skin with a soft, raspberry-flavored interior. The barista was helpful, friendly and she served my order quickly. I tried other shops in Indianapolis and if you want a top-notch espresso drink and a treat, this shop is way ahead of others. The location on the balcony of the City Market adds to the experience. I highly recommend this little coffee shop!

A coffee stand in a historic indoor market? Yes, please! Here's what's to love and one thing to keep in mind when going: 1) Atmosphere: It's on the second floor of the old indoor market building just north of downtown Indy, which is still a working market. The coffee shop has bar seating and a few tables nearby to people watch. 2) Coffee: It's some of the best beans I had in Indy and their latte was on point. One thing to keep in mind: 1) Service: Maybe I went too early on a Saturday, but the barista was so unkind. I overheard him making fun of customers and was just a cold person. Visiting from the East Coast, I may expect that from other cities, but not that's viewed as the heart and soul of the Midwest. Regardless, if you like quality coffee, Mile Square is a good option when in Indy.
