Wallingford Coffee
1740 Industry Dr, Indianapolis, IN
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a charming historic train station in Indianapolis, Wallingford roasts their coffee in-house and pairs it with genuinely knowledgeable baristas like Carey and Lacy who take real time to understand what you love about coffee before crafting something perfectly suited to you. The space itself is a draw—lush with plants, filled with good music, and blessed with that one-of-a-kind character that comes from its bones, plus the occasional rumble of passing trains adds to the magic. Whether you're settling in with a laptop for the afternoon or stopping by for a thoughtfully made specialty drink and a local pastry, this feels less like a coffee shop and more like discovering an actual gathering place where people genuinely care.”

Hands down the best coffee shop around Indy. First, I love historical train station location. It has such charm and I love the trains that go by from time to time! Second, the food and drinks are great and I love that they are locally sourced, supporting local businesses. And in addition, I love the way this coffee shop merges into the life and ways of local Irvington, giving back to the community. They welcome everyone, host local artists and events, and generally invest into the community. When they are not busy, its great to have a conversation with the owners, they are so down to earth and personable. Definitely keeping this place one of my routine stops!
Truly a local gem! Everything you could want here. History. Good atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good music. Amazing plants! All local pastry options. Love handle burritos! AMAZING COFFEE (roasted in house!!) A great spot to either catch up with a friend or just get a minute for yourself to relax or get some work finished. I’m so grateful to wildchild for bringing an absolutely stellar experience and space for Irvington community to enjoy and share together!!
Best local coffee shop ever! Carey and Lacy are wonderful and wonderful! They will gladly take the time to understand what you like about coffee and craft a perfect beverage for you! I had a double shot of espresso that was just delightful. Also bought some beans which I look forward to trying out. 100% will be back. You can’t go wrong here!
All I'm looking for in a coffee shop is an attractive space and decent coffee, and this place does those things. I had a peach drift latte I believe. The flavor was balanced and potent, very tasty on a hot morning. They are also pet friendly, have comfy seats, and decent street parking nearby.
The surrounding, somewhat shoddy, area betrays this adorable coffee shop's bright and cozy atmosphere. The staff are incredibly friendly and it's clear they have a lot of passion for making this shop be a welcoming place for all by building community through hosting live bands and shows They have the classic assortment of coffee beverages in addition to a special menu of in-house brews that reflect the staff's creativity behind the counter. Their foam and coffee roasting (the machine is on display too) is all done in house, making the slight wait for your drink all the more rewarding.
