Lovely coffee shop that serves delicious drinks and food! Vibes are impeccable: neon lights, 1970s aesthetic gold, dark wood but also natural lighting. You need to check it out! Servers were really chill and friendly. Also, if you dine in, the place has you put away your own plates and trash. The return is located near by the register. There is also an event space upstairs that is accessible by elevator or stairs.

Provider Cafe has fabulous vibes. The shop is comfortable and full of joy. The syrups are made in house and you can tell. The lattes were incredible. My mom and I enjoyed the Banana Demerara Latte and the Peanut Butter Latte. We also had a double chocolate muffin and an almond croissant. The double chocolate muffin was moist and perfectly chocolaty! The almond croissant was one of the best pastries I’ve had in a long time. Anyone who loves coffee and treats needs to check this place out!

This is a hard place to review, and it’s redeemed by the high quality of their coffee offerings. The venue is nice and clean. The coffee is top notch (but very pricey - $8.50 for a specialty latte that is small). The people are appropriately friendly, but have literally zero motivation to do anything quickly. It has such a woke vibe that the idea of working harder/faster to provider better service would never ever happen. My wife and I ordered two lattes, and waited 25 minutes. The folks making food and coffee literally could not have moved any slower and did not multitask whatsoever so possibly speed up the process of making coffee. The food is very average and overpriced. $11 for a plain bagel that tasted like one you’d get from Kroger, with bacon and egg. No frills, creativity or anything social, but $11. Ridiculous. It is so frustrating to see a nice place run so unbelievably inefficiently I will only ever *maybe* come if they have nobody else to serve before I show up.

Love the atmosphere of this place! It was my first time there and when I walked in you could tell it’s a good place to be. The staff were laughing and were all smiles. Their customer service was fantastic! I ordered the lavender late and it’s great! Not the lavender isn’t too strong. I also got the bacon breakfast sandwich and wow! The eggs are perfect, and the pepper jelly is delicious! Great combo and the bagel was so soft. 10/10 experience and will be back

A really pretty coffee shop that has one of my favorite breakfast bagel sandwiches and cafe mocha because they add sea salt on top. Service is exceptionally well. This place has great outdoor patio seating and bathroom haha. Often go here to meet with people because of the location, mocha, food and atmosphere.

Driving cross country and found this place when we got off the highway for a kid’s trip to stretch the legs at the park. Awesome discovery, great drink selection, tasty baked goods. This is the kind of place we love to find amid the gas station coffee stops and endless highway.

We were met with smiling faces, and the service was great! The coffee and food were delicious! We enjoyed espresso, a pistachio latte, and a bacon, egg topped with a spicy jam sandwich. So good!

#4 Indianapolis Addition This the Spot!!! You know how I feel about Coffee and we have been impressed by what Indianapolis has to offer. But, Provider Coffee hits different! Provider Coffee is what Starbucks tried to do a few years ago. Offering breakfast, lunch, coffee, beer and wine, in an ultra laid back setting. Exposed brick interior with high top tables and awesome music is just the beginning of this gem. A self Serve pastry case with a variety of unique pastries is the first thing to great you. Massive Almond Croissants, Pumpkin, Orange, Cream Cheese Muffin(Yes, all that in 1 muffin) among others, all for the picking. Smiling faces that not only greet, take your order and make recommendations, but th3 staff also make it a point to be engaging with each guest. It truly makes you want to linger for awhile. Then, there's the COFFEE!! Specialty coffees like Pistachio Rose Water are just the tip of the iceberg. Along with traditional coffee offerings, teas, housemade Kombucha, seasonal Lattes, and a featured Latte! There is no way you can walk out of there without something! Too hot to handle, too cold to hold; had a Butterscotch Latte that was curated like a cocktail! Espresso, steamed whole Milk, with butter, piloncillo, and a flaming orange. WHO DOES THAT!!! It was so good. Didn't get a whole lot if Butterscotch, but MAN!!! He also had a bacon breakfast Sammy with TONS of bacon, fluffy egg, cheddar cheese, and pepper jelly, on a Multigrain GLUTEN-FREE bread!!! It was a mirage of flavors that just warmed the soul. The decaf tenderoni had their featured Latte which was Banana Demerara. When I tell you, it literally tasted like banana bread? Packed with warm spice, actual banana flavor, and a hint raw sugar. It was the best banana Latte I have ever had! Provider is one for the books!!! CHECK IT OUT!

I absolutely love this coffee shop. It took me 1.5 years to finally stop by and I'm so upset I didn't come by sooner. The baristas are wonderful and have this warm essence to them. Not only are they friendly but they also make some fire coffee and their food is carefully prepared. The aesthetic reminds me of trendy/edgy meets cozy vibes; it's just overall inviting!! and I love all the natural light that comes in. They also have an outdoor patio if that's your thing! 1) Bacon breakfast sandwich - the broken up bacon bits with the sweet pepper jam? absolute slay. one of the best bagel breakfast sammies ever. the bagel is also sooo soft 2) Herby fully loaded- not a huge fan, granted it was vegetarian and you can definitely taste the herbs (the dill was a little too strong for me) 3) Iced butterscotch latte. GET IT. You need it. It is sooooo freaking good 4) Iced chocolate latte- if you truly love coffee you'll appreciate this drink. not sweet at all and the chocolate is very subtle, it allows the espresso to really shine through PROVIDER is truly an Indy gem. I will be returning for many more study sessions in the future & to try out even more things on their menu.

Love to support local shops so since I was out of the country during small business Saturday I wasn't able to partake so today we spent the day running around. My daughter said maybe we can try a seasonal drink so we went. Cool place, love the plants, the young lady who helped us was nice. We ordered the peppermint mocha and gingerbread latte. Hers wasn't very peppermint flavored so very nice that the young lady added some more and said if she needs more to let her know. Mine was great. My only issue was that there wasn't really any place to sit. A couple of people were hogging the 6 seated table top working on their laptops and newspaper. Several people sprawled out as if this was the public library. The guy near me kept staring at us for having a conversation as if we were loud or a problem while he was working on his laptop. Very irritating to want to support a local business but most people act like we are at a library. They have an upstairs I asked about but was told it was for events etc like weddings or something. SUGGESTION: how about since there isn't a wedding going on set up tables up there for these people on their laptops who clearly act like a regular patron who just wants to get a coffee and converse with their friend/guest whatever is the problem. Why should the rest of the people who want a place to go catch up with someone or get a snack have to be extremely quiet or made to feel like they are the problem...these people hogging the tables to work on their laptops get to buy a $6 coffee and hang out all day leaving no space for patrons who probably would spend more. We actually wanted to get something but because there really wasn't any seating we decided not to. The seats in the doorway were empty but it's cold out. If places like Bodhi can regulate how much time a patron is allotted then these places can definitely be a little more restrictive on allowing people to just sprawl out their laptops and work as if it's a library or office space. Guarantee other people feel this but just are afraid to mention it. Definitely a first and last visit. 5 stars for the nice young lady (her energy and vibe was amazing). 2 stars for the experience not being able to enjoy the atmosphere due to all the people on their laptops or newspapers scattered on tables.

Beautiful space, delicious coffee, and really kind staff. Please, please reconsider your relationship to plastic waste, though, PROVIDER. Giving 'for here' guests ceramic/glass cups by default, instead of garbage, would make the experience way more elegant, in addition to making a huge cumulative dent in unnecessary waste.

Industrial but warm, workspace and events too, the Good Lord provides more than perfect lattes in this downtown joint. Personal faves include an original Pistachio and Banana (bread). It's a cozy sweet hang with primo pastries and a killer breakfast sammie too - saddle up barside to chat with the friendly baristas or make a new friend, so much easier visiting the Midwest!

So I had to come here because I was told this was the best coffee shop in the city ... so I went, had to check this place out and see what the hype was and see if I agreed and well.... I don't agree totally. The atmosphere and aesthetic is nice, cool vibe. I've heard talk about laptops not being allowed but unsure on how valid that is but did not see anyone on one while I was there. Love all the plants although I did notice mealy bugs all over the monstera( doesn't take away from the place at all) the drinks were mid- I tried the peanut butter latte both hot and cold and hot was soooo much better. The banana latte (can't remember the name) was tried as well and It was also very ... I don't know the word for it- it tasted more like a banana peel vs a banana... it was not enjoyable. hhhhhowever those bagel sandwiches were amazing !! Like I would go back just for those. I'm going to try this place again and see if I can catch what others have projected this place to be

Cute coffee cafe with outdoor seating. It even has the indoor/outdoor seating- you're seated inside with the garage type door open. I ordered the maple pecan latte iced with oatmilk. The drink was good but the flavor profile was to light. I could telll that there was maple because it was sweet and not over the top but I didn't taste pecan at all.

The Provider was a very relaxing and chill environment where you could easily have conversations or meetings. This isn't a loud location and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The decor was very pretty with plants everywhere. I tried the apple cinnamon latte and was somewhat disappointed by the very light flavor but it was aesthetically pleasing. The menu wasn't too big but the staff was very kind

The overall look of the place was so so so cute! But.... The drinks were okay. We got a peanut butter latte and it was good, the chocolate latte was not the best but not the worst, we also got a bagel sandwich and that was good as well! However all that plus a two dollar sticker and tip was $36 so definitely on the bit of the pricey side. And the staff was a little rude, sort of standoffish just didn't get a welcoming vibe :(

I LOVE a great coffee shop cafe and I have to say that Provider checks all the boxes on my list! First off, I am plant based vegan and typically try to find spots that have plant based vegan options and drinks options that are vegan friendly and I found both here. This was my first visit and ambiance and vibe are amazing. The inside is beautifully decorated and spacious, there is a garage door that opens to their outside patio. I had the vegan sandwich which has cucumbers, avocado, tomatoes, spinach, and hummus on sourdough bread which was delicious and is more than enough. I ate half for breakfast and saved the other for lunch. I tired to Golden Milk (ginger, turmeric, and chili de arbol, under the Not Coffee list) which is one of my favorites and was delicious as well. I definitely recommend because of the cool vibe and the food! Rest assured my fellow plant based vegan friends, there is something for us!!! I'll definitely be back.

Great coffee shop north of downtown. I got just a coffee and a peach hand pie. The coffee was AMAZING. The hand pie was really good. It had flakey fresh pastry and fresh peach slices. The baristas were very friendly and super fast. It's nice and cozy inside. The location right off the monon trail is so perfect. Check this place out.

Popped into Provider for a bagel Sammy, they're so good. My Sammy came out on bread though not nearly as tasty. When I asked the barista he said they had changed it but not updated then menu. The coffee is always spot on and it's so pretty in there with all the plants.

The most lame "hummus plate" I have ever seen. Please just tell me you have no veggies/pita bread or anything else to make it. 2 slices of cucumber, 2 unripe tomatoes (during peak tomato season, a container of hummus, maybe some olives(not sure) and tortilla chips...disgusting.

Had many options to choose from during my recent trip to Indy but man I am glad I checked out Provider Coffee. Great place--clean aesthetic, chill atmosphere, and it's clearly a favorite among locals. The baristas know what they're doing, and the menu has some creative options that make you want to try something new every time. I had a great experience overall. Only reason I'm giving it 4.5 instead of 5 is that the customer service was solid but not super warm--nothing bad, just felt a little transactional. That said, I'd still come back in a heartbeat. This place is doing great things for Indy's coffee scene.

I just love Provider! The ambiance is cozy but always bustling with people. The service is great. Not only do they have a fun menu, they also have some great food items as well. I LOVE the butterscotch latte. It is a must try if you are a coffee lover. I love stopping here for my Saturday morning coffee.

This is a beautiful space and the everything croissant I ordered was amazing. I also had a bite of my friend's toast, which was great too. Unofrutnately I didn't love my drink (butterscotch latte) but that's more due to my own taste and likely not the preparation. It was quite crowded during our visit so we had to sit at the bar right by the register, which was not ideal. I probably won't be back for coffee since I have other favorites nearby, but would definitely come try the cocktail service and/or pick up either type of beverage when at an event in the space. Plenty of parking is available.

Provider is one of the best coffee spots in Indy. It's trendy and hip and offers the perfect blend of coffee and quick bites. Has indoor and outdoor seating, and the coffee menu is perfection. The baristas do an amazing job. My go-to order is the ginger latte and vegan breakfast sandwich, made better by their housemade poppy pepper jelly. Provider also has sister locations in Indianapolis with similar offerings, but different aesthetics: Coat Check (the original) and Chalet.

I'd driven by the historic Tinker House building a zillion times without ever realizing it was the home of Provider, a coffeehouse within the Indianapolis-based Small Victories Hospitality Group - think Coat Check Coffee, Certain Feelings, Landlocked, Strangebird, and Chalet. I'd always wanted to visit Provider, but I've historically had some accessibility issues with businesses along this Kennedy-King (the neighborhood) strip on East 16th Street. To be honest, as much as I love Small Victories I'll also note that they tend to take over spots that have accessibility issues (Coat Check, Chalet specifically - Landlocked and Strangebird are fine for the most part). My assumption based upon drive by of Provider was that there would be accessibility issues. So, first of all, let me admit that I was pretty much wrong. I am attending an event in the Tinker House Events part of this building over the weekend and decided to scope it out. Doing revealed that a drive by doesn't really tell you anything about Provider. As you drive around back, you are greeted by a substantial parking lot with accessible parking. The entryway is accessible and there's also an outdoor area that would work for the most part. In fact, this might be the most accessible option in the Small Victories family. They tend to take over cool spots (I mean, seriously. Chalet is amazing even with accessibility issues). I had some time before a movie over at Kan-Kan and decided to really check this place out. Provider has been open since 2018 on the ground floor of the Tinker House building. They offer coffee, long drinks, bialy sandwiches, and pastries in a stylish, warm, and inviting atmosphere. The baristas are friendly and they do offer wifi. This is a really cool building - and yes, it's a historic building and that means access isn't perfect. However, it's pretty good and I was much more impressed than I thought I'd be. I like that Provider utilizes other local businesses (for example, Dandy Breeze for their milk) and that they specialize in lattes. They also offer non-coffee options for those of us getting older whose digestive systems sometimes rebel (tea, ginger beer, hot chocolate, golden milk, matcha latte), and a variety of dietary options - Pastries tend to be pretty affordable, though sandwiches tend to be at meal prices around $10-13). As I was somewhat rushing due to a movie obligation and it was nearing the end of their day, I kept things simple with an iced latte and an opportunity to just check the place out. I definitely loved the experience and will definitely be back when I get more time (probably a weekend since they do close at 4pm). Provider was a reminder for me to really check places out before ruling them out as inaccessible. I finally did so and was rewarded with a great experience. I look forward to returning in the near future.

Stopped in for a hot drink during a cold thrifting day. Ambiance is upbeat, with alternative music playing and loud chatter from the full seating area. My friend and I were able to grab the last two seats available which happened to be at the bar. I had the matcha latte with the ginger syrup upon recommendation from one of the thrift store employees. They use ceremonial grade matcha and the ginger syrup had a strong ginger taste without being too sweet. I chose the almond and jam toast and my friend had the everything croissant, both of which were delicious. There is a parking lot with ample parking so you don't need to park on the street. I look forward to coming back and trying the cocktails one evening.

Cool vibe - delicious lattes! We stopped in here for a bit for one of our group to take a call while the rest of us read. The staff were very welcoming, there was ample seating, there are plugs everywhere, and the drinks are great. We had a Mexican chocolate latte, orange butterscotch latte, and a chocolate latte. All were tasty. The vibe is chill, and lots of pairs of people were chatting and enjoying themselves.

Always excellent coffee with artistic flair! Every drink has a little something that makes it "craft". Hot lattes whether to go or for here feature latte art and most drinks are topped with something to make it a little more special. Staff is friendly and the store itself has a fun vibe. Light and airy inside and a lovely outside space. Definitely a good place to get work done and plenty of parking available.

It's the best coffee in Indy, with only Bovaconti to rival. But it's $18 for two lattes, so we reserve it for special occasions. No matter, it's worth it on those days. Provider goes above and beyond to take your latte to the next level and every single time it's perfection. Whether it's a spritz of rose water or a sprinkle of sea salt, you'll be in awe. The shop is very well designed and has a lovely, moody ambiance. There is plenty of parking, everyone is very kind, and there are really no complaints. It can get crowded and seating can be limited, but you can't blame them.

I've been here three times and each time I've had to wait 20+ minutes for my drink. The coffee is always great, but it's just simply not worth waiting that long to get it. I'm writing this after I just waited THIRTY (30) MINUTES for a latte with an extra shot. Meanwhile, people who ordered similar drinks after me are getting theirs before me. This is a very common occurrence here and it needs to be fixed because waiting thirty minutes for a cup of coffee is ridiculous, especially when other coffee shops are just as if not more busy and they handle their workflow exponentially better. Good coffee, not worth the wait AT ALL. Go elsewhere. EDIT: They literally got it wrong too LMAO. I PROMISE you can go elsewhere, get a better cup a coffee, and not have to stand around for 20-30 minutes. I'll take burnt office kcup coffee over this poorly managed mess any day

It was a pretty quiet coffee shop and kept a steady flow of customers. It was aesthetic and cozy inside too. The avocado toast and breakfast sandwich actually came out before our coffee. They were both very tasty and filling that we had some left of both. The breakfast sandwich came with jalapeño jelly and if you're worried about spice well don't be. I didn't find it spicy at all. There was a lot of dill on the avocado toast but that could be easily removed. The butterscotch lattes were delicious and not too sweet. They were so good my friend ordered another to go.

I have had my fair share of lattes around Indianapolis, and each time I keep coming back to Provider: the ginger latte was recommended to me by the barista and WOW is it good! It's not terribly sweet and the ginger gives it a really nice and unique kick! They have both indoor and a great outdoor space get some work done or meet a friend to chat!

I love the vibes of this coffee shop! Sunshine, plants, and friendly employees all add to what keeps me coming back here along with delicious lattes. The lattes are on the pricier side in comparison with other coffee shops in the city, but the quality doesn't disappoint. My one note is that the internet has not been working twice when I visited. I was told it was going to be fixed soon but if you work remotely and don't have a hot spot, be aware that the internet could be an issue.

Friendly and skilled baristas, reliable wifi, and a cozy space - what more can you ask for in a local coffee shop?! Provider is super convenient for those residing in the Old Northside and Herron-Morton neighborhoods. I love coming here for a couple hours to work, especially on nice days when I can take advantage of their spacious patio. Their pistachio latte is the stuff of dreams - hot or iced!

My friend and I went to provider to have a coffee and get some work done. We ordered our drinks - we both got the iced butterscotch which were delicious. However, our experience with one of the employees was extremely unpleasant. We had set all our stuff up to get some work done, we both had a bagel to eat, which we did not buy from them (provider coffee). Completely innocently, we began eating our own bagels - the female employee with dark hair came up to us and in a very belittling, disrespectful and arrogant manner yelled at us for eating them and rambled on about it being a violation. My friend and I were extremely apologetic and said we are so sorry we had no idea and that we understand and apologized again. The employee continued to be rude. Had she have asked her in a respectful manner we would have had no problem stepping outside or putting it away. Her approach was absolutely unacceptable. So my friend and I decided, that it was time for us to leave - not having even been there for 10 minutes. As we were walking out the door, the same employee sarcastically yelled 'Thank you'. This was extremely disrespectful and unprofessional of an employee that is meant to serve customer service.

Great environment! The coffee can be a little pricey if you add oat milk and extras of course, but I love their specialty coffees. There is plenty of seating...comfy booth like seating but the tables are small circle tables. There is a group "bar" type seating and a few big tables. Plenty of outlets too! The employees were very nice and I liked the trendy vibe. I recommend! Ps- they don't allow animals unless certified service animals

Go see Michael and Valarie they are amazing!! I came here with my friend to get some breakfast and it was such an unexpected treat!

One of the best espresso drinks you can get in Indy (order the Butterscotch) and such a cozy vibe! They have lots of seating and it seems to be a popular spot to work from. They have in-house crafted drinks and we've been impressed with them all. The baristas are always super friendly!

Service here is still pretty rough. Four people behind the counter and they take on average 15-20 minutes to make a coffee on a laid back day. Nice people but unfortunately they don't know how to make the drinks and even forget coffee itself sometimes. I would encourage Provider to fix their staffing issues and have them learn the actual recipes.

Nice place. Good coffee. Croissants used to be great but now they are mediocre and not fresh/flaky, yet they still cost $5. Disappointing, I used to take friends and family there for the pastries because they were so fresh.

As an Indy native, this coffee shop is one of my favorites in the city! A friend from high school showed me this place and I've been hooked ever since. Although this cafe isn't dirt-cheap, if you're a local coffee consumer you'll find Provider's prices to be up to par with the quality coffee and food, highly skilled baristas, and the fantastic ambiance of the shop. Hang around if you're 21+ to check out Provider's after-hour cocktail menu too! Great options and immaculate vibes for a nice evening drink.

Oh oh! Indiana never surprises with casual and happening coffee shops. Provider coffee is located in the same building as Tinker Coffee. Beautiful outdoor setup for warmer weather days and similar menu as Coat check coffee located in Indiana downtown. The chocolate brownie paired with the house drip coffee was bomb! The pistachio latte had a wonderful, vibrant combo of pistachio and lemon which was heaven with every sip. Good place to work or just casually hang out with friends, ample parking space and quite close to downtown but not within to face any parking challenges. Will definitely be back!

We loved Provider! The drinks were smooth, bold, and rich in flavor. The dining area was unique and welcoming. The staff were very kind and even chatted us up a bit while waiting for the bathroom. We were given a free everything bagel croissant roll because it was the end of the shift. It was so tasty that we came back the next day for more only to find they only serve food on 2 days of the week. Wah wah wahhhh.

This was an interesting find in Indianapolis. Definitely has that progressive, hipster atmosphere. I enjoyed seeing old school 90's Nintendo games being played on the TV. The service was fine; definitely not the most inviting barista I have ordered from but my beverage was tasty. I ordered a Golden Milk, which is listed as a non-coffee drink with turmeric, chili de arbol, and ginger. To be honest, it tasted like a sweet, over priced latte. It was tasty, but I not think it's something I'd get again. I'd like to go back to try something else though.

This is the cutest coffee shop! Perf place to study. Coffee is a little expensive but worth the experience.

It's our go-to coffee shop. Although their drip coffee is great, it is really hard to beat their lattes. The pistachio, and ginger are the best, but my all time favorite is their seasonal lime latte. When they start serving it in the summer it is the only coffee I can think about. All around they just make a really good coffee experience from the vibes and decor of the space to the efficient and kind staff.

It always feels very cozy in here and the drinks are consistent. I sometimes wish the seasonal lattes would change more frequently but they're always so good it doesn't really matter. The matcha lemonade was delicious

Provider is literally one of my favorite spots in Indy. It has everything you could want: a huge patio, quite a bit of indoor seating, great food, amazing drinks, and good vibes. Their pistachio latte with oat milk is my top drink order. I always mean to try something new, but I always go back to it. I'm also a big fan of the caprese bialy. Would recommend as a great spot to study, read, work, or just meet up with a friend!

This was a spot that I wanted to check out because I saw some pictures on Instagram. Provider is located in the same building as Tinker Coffee! There's a private parking lot and I was able to find a spot. The coffee shop is not that big but they have adequate seating. I was able to find seating at the bar. I went on a Saturday afternoon so I'm not sure how busy it usually is or what their peak hours are. I was facing the cute "Nice Weather" neon sign. The coffee shop has nice natural lighting. I ordered a hot Miel latte (which is seasonal). All of the lattes are $7 (which is on the pricier side in my opinion). I enjoyed my latte but it was on the sweeter side. It was also garnished with something - I'm not really sure what.... I'm moderately allergic to nuts and it seemed like maybe my latte might have been garnished with some kind of nut? I ended up not finishing the latte because it was a lot (oz wise) and a little too sweet for me. Overall, I would definitely come back and try something else! I enjoyed the vibes and ambiance.

Dear God, this coffee shop is exceptional. I flew in from LA, visiting for the weekend, and I wanted to check out some of the recommended coffee shops in town. Provider was on the list so I started there. I talked to the barista and said "I'm not from here, i probably won't be back ever, please make me the best coffee you've got." She made me a mix of the pistachio coffee and one of the peanut brittle seasonal drinks and DEAR GOD 10/10. Smelled of citrus on the front end, pistachio in the middle and then a nice warm toffee/carmel end. The taste was perfection- not acidic or bitter or burned at all- just 100% smooth and a perfect palate ride through and through. They took pride in their drinks and their customer service was top notch. It's been a week now since I've been back home and I think about it every day. I WANT TO GO BACK

I go here for work meetings about every month. I usually get their regular house drip or their iced coffee. Nice space and amazing service every time! I would love it if they would have some sugar free latte options as I'm a bariatric patient and options are hard to find. But, any coffee makes me happy so they are great!

This place is beautiful and has beautiful food and drinks! I always opt for their avocado toast, which is as good tasting as it is good looking, and their lime leaf latte when it is available. They have outdoor seating and have started to have seating available upstairs sometimes. They have opened up their inside for ordering now, but enforce social distancing and have nice benches for you to wait at while you wait for your food and drink. The prices can be a bit expensive, but when you get your amazing food and drink, you will understand why. You are also supporting a local business, which is worth it to me!
