I've been to Calvin Fletcher Coffee Company before, and I remembered my hot chai tea latte was amazing! Since today is going to reach 85 degrees, I knew it was time for an iced drink. It was the perfect opportunity to try an iced chai tea latte. The amount of caffeine in coffee doesn't sit well with me, so chai is the perfect intermediate of a boost of energy without heart palpitations.
Something that I appreciate about CFCC is that they ask if you want your chai to be sweet or spicy. I am a sweet chai girl through and through. Other coffee shops don't tell you beforehand that their chai is not sweet, so you wouldn't believe how many bad experiences I've had when it comes to chai. However, CFCC's chai is PERFECT! They use a powder chai that they blend with hot water to make sure that it fully dissolves before pouring it into the milk and ice. This prevents it from being clumpy and chalky which I really appreciate. They sprinkle the top of the drink with a touch of cinnamon which I personally love as well. There's only one other coffee shop in Indy that has chai this good, and it's nice to know that there's a reliable one so close to where I work.
The inside of CFCC is so trendy and has a great vibe. I am attaching photos of the inside for you to see yourself. It didn't look super busy inside in the pictures but trust me when I say it's because almost everyone was sitting outside. Their outdoor patio is gorgeous (and dog friendly)! If I didn't have to go back to work, I would've spent some time outside just enjoying the beautiful day while sipping my drink. I will have to come back when I am on summer break!
The baristas were incredibly friendly. There was a long line when I got there, but they were handling it well. If they were stressed, it would've been hard to tell because they were keeping their cool and composure so well!
Something else I wanted to mention was that they had a breakfast burrito in their fridge display called a "Mediterranean Burrito". I am attaching a picture, but it looks so good, and I can't wait to try it next time.
