There’s no better way to start the day than with a fresh cup of coffee. Fortunately, there are several fantastic coffee shops in the Greenwood, Indiana, area where you can get your fix. And although we all may be inside because of COVID-19, here are some great coffeeshop ideas for when everything goes back to the way it was.
BrickHouse Coffee Co.
BrickHouse Coffe Co. is named after the historic 19th-century brick house that the roastery originally operated in. While BrickHouse has relocated to shiny new digs, it still prides itself on its old-world craftsmen approach to roasting coffee beans, even using a 1912 Royal #5 coffee roaster. This attention to detail shows in their coffees, espressos, and lattes.
You can also enjoy pastries, cookies, and cupcakes from the area’s local bakeries. During “happy hour,” beverages are half-price. Be sure to purchase a bag of coffee or a package of Keurig cups to enjoy at home. If you’re planning a special event, consider Brickhouse for your catering needs.
Coffeehouse Five
When you visit Coffeehouse Five, not only can you enjoy a delicious cup of coffee, but you can also support a good cause. Coffeehouse Five contributes a percentage of its revenue to support addiction recovery and other mental health services that benefit the Greenwood community. Coffeehouse Five creates its americanos, doppios, and lattes using only the highest quality fair-trade coffee.
Signature beverages include the peanut butter mocha, raspberry mocha, and maple caramella. If you’re not in the mood for coffee, try the mighty leaf tea, chai latte, or spiced cider. Coffeehouse Five also serves a scrumptious selection of pastries and breakfast sandwiches.
Strange Brew
Strange Brew serves up delicious beverages in a fun and funky atmosphere, with works from local artists prominently on display. Popular coffee drinks include the white chocolate almond mocha, the hazelnut latte, and the peanut butter cup mocha. Strange Brew also serves a delicious selection of teas in flavors like raspberry, blueberry, and peach. You don’t want to skip the vegan muffins and other pastries.
You can also take home a bag of Almond Joe, Sumatra Dark, or Pumpkin Spice coffee to enjoy later. Strange Brew even has a bacon-flavored coffee that, while it tastes like the real thing, is a vegetarian product.
1823 Bakehouse
1823 Bakehouse believes that everyone should be able to enjoy its delicious products, which is why everything on the menu is gluten-free. The shop’s coffee is brewed fresh with beans from area roasteries. 1823 Bakehouse also serves 80 varieties of freshly brewed tea. A breakfast biscuit sandwich, quiche, or cinnamon roll is the perfect way to start your morning.
For lunch, try the turkey sandwich with cheddar and spinach, the egg salad sandwich, or the white bean chicken chili. If you have a sweet tooth, you don’t want to leave without trying an almond pecan bar, espresso double chocolate muffin, or German chocolate brownie. 1823 Bakehouse also creates custom cakes and cupcakes for any occasion.
As you can see, there is something for everyone at Greenwood’s local coffee shops. No matter which one you visit, you’re sure to enjoy a delicious beverage and friendly service that makes you feel like family.
