Soma Coffee House

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.

Soma is a decent coffee shop with a fun vibe in this downtown location. We love to stop in here for coffee when we are downtown. The cold brew is a bit more bitter than I usually like, but the fun rotating whipped cream usually makes up for it and their consistency in making drinks to order. Sometimes it is cinnamon flavoured which is the best. Their pistachio latte is a favourite as well. There are a few parking spots on the side of the building for patrons, which is useful when you are just stopping in- otherwise it is paid parking. It is kid-friendly and has a neat fish tank in a TV which is a hit for kids. We've had a few of their baked goods which are fairly priced and not overly sweet. This location is very small, but that's what makes it quite unique.

Our favorite coffee company at IU Bloomington! Great coffee. My favorite is the triple macchiato! The space, however, is kind of dumpy. I appreciate eclectic, but this place could use a clean up and better organization. A fresh styling? And the food wrapped in plastic on wire shelving isn’t very appealing nor sanitary seeming.

This is my favorite location of all the somas just due to being downtown in a small, unique space. Always friendly service, great outcomes, and close to downtown shops.

I only stopped in to this cute restaurant/coffee shop for a double espresso but I was very impressed by the service and unique decor. Very friendly! I’ll definitely be back to try out some food!

Five stars is for coffee. I did not get any food. This was my first time at this location. I've had coffee at a different Soma before and the coffee is excellent at both locations. I like this one for the unique decor. The interior is decorated very cool giving off the small coffee shop vibe. Stop in for a good cup of coffee!
