Amberson Coffee & Grocer - Coffee shop in Indianapolis - 401 S College Ave, USA

Yummy Bites & Espresso: Amberson’s Warm Welcome The espresso here is nothing short of fantastic, living up to all the hype it receives. What sets this place apart is its commendable commitment to sustainability, minimizing single-use plastic waste – a cause I wholeheartedly appreciate. The staff is consistently kind and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere where I never feel rushed, even on indecisive days. The food menu is a delight, with each item being unbelievably yummy. My only minor wish is for more egg-free options, given my personal egg allergy preference. While the cafe is a bit snug for remote work, it's undeniably worth a visit to savor your drink and a delicious bite. Amberson Coffee & Grocer has become my go-to spot for a perfect blend of exceptional coffee and a warm, friendly ambiance. Highly recommended!

I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon to scope this place out. My litmus test for the quality of the coffee shop is the quality of its espresso. I was pleased to see that Amberson Coffee had multiple options for espresso, and the choice that I made did not disappoint. The service was quick and professional. The presentation was unique, and espresso was delicious. I'll be visiting this place again the first chance I get!

I ordered the chai latte and French toast. Both were so delicious! The latte had incredible flavor and was served in a beautiful glass (that I guess I could have paid for to keep, but didn’t feel like it). The French toast was pretty good too. Presentation was pretty! Service was fine. I wish there was more comfortable seating, a loveseat for example.

Can’t understand how this place got so many good reviews. Yes it is a cool atmosphere and the employees couldn’t have been nicer. BUT, we went for the coffee and the coffee was not good. $17 for 2 lattes is insane. It’s made in a tiny glass jar - that they charge you for - and it’s like warm at best. When you want a hot coffee, it would be nice for it to be hot. I got mine 1/2 of the sweetness, and I couldn’t even drink it it was so sweet. Terrible. Now we have to stop for another coffee after spending $17 on these 2.

Fletcher historic district and Amberson, a beautiful combination. I loved the small coffee shop vibe in your neighborhood kind and the Americano was sheer delight with notes of orange and chocolate. I loved the blackberry goat cheese scone. Deliciously soft, with pops of blackberry and a nice note of crunchy brown sugar on top. Amberson has a small grocers store with bread from Leviathon Bakehouse and basic pantry essentials. All baked goods are made in house and the customer service is stellar. The baristas at Amberson have participated in the national barista championship so you know where you get the awesome coffee from. Note that this isn’t a place you can work for too long since they do not have restrooms available and charging pods, nevertheless Amberson has been recommended to me SO many times for a reason! A keeper!

Had a frazzled morning, came in expecting the usual but was greeted with a most bewildering menu. I was confused with how the menu read and in a hurry not wanting to try to figure out a new menu, just looking for a chai latte. I probably sounded a bit rude when asked what I would like and I answered that I was just looking for coffee, not black something sweet and with cream. The barista just smiled and gave me some options I chose the hunnymilk latte, delicious and in a great reusable glass jar with a closing lid!! Greatly appreciate the smile and patience delivering a tasty morning refresher. Plus the tip is included in the price which is pretty nice I think.

Went to study with friends and I really like this coffee shop. It was pretty nice and small. It might not be so great for a big group of students to study. But music is very nice, customer services was amazing and for the coffee I recommend you get the hunny latte! It was pretty good. My friends did not like the date latte because it was a bit unsweetened. Overall great place for coffee and shop for meat, cheese and other grocery. Parking space is free. It is also close to downtown. If you need to use the restroom you will need to ask because it is outside. Overall great place for coffee date!

Such a cool coffee spot! The staff were SO friendly and helpful. We would have loved to stay and hang out, but the baby-in-tow needed to get back for a nap. Thank goodness even the to-go lattes come in these cool glass jars! And it was an excellent latte at that—smooth and not bitter at all.
