Soma Coffee House
322 E Kirkwood Ave, Bloomington, IN
Crema's Take
“Soma's downtown Bloomington location brings a wonderfully eclectic, intimate energy where espresso drinks shine—locals rave about their triple macchiatos and consistently excellent coffee that keeps them coming back. The small, unique space cultivates a perfect meeting spot with genuinely friendly service, though the deliberately quirky aesthetic isn't polished and won't appeal to everyone seeking pristine surroundings. Whether you're grabbing a double espresso before exploring nearby shops or settling in for a slow sit, this is where the IU community and downtown regulars gather for serious coffee done right.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Opens early. Open late.
