Crema's Take
“This espresso-focused spot in Indianapolis has earned serious respect for their signature espresso martini, which strikes a rare balance between rich coffee flavor and smooth sweetness that even skeptics appreciate. The newly renovated location radiates welcoming energy with bright natural light and comfortable seating, making it equally suited for lingering conversations or a quick quality coffee, all backed by bartenders and staff who genuinely engage with guests and offer thoughtful recommendations. Whether you're craving traditional espresso drinks or their creative signature cocktails, Thieves delivers the kind of craft-focused hospitality that makes locals and travelers alike feel like regulars.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.
