Cafe Indigo
13201 Shaker Square, Cleveland, OH
Crema's Take
“Cafe Indigo is a refreshingly unconventional spot in Shaker Square where excellent espresso-driven coffee shares space with a traditional ice cream counter, creating an unexpectedly charming hybrid experience that feels equal parts cozy neighborhood cafe and nostalgic sweet shop. The atmosphere draws people in with its thoughtful details—jazz music, plants, local art on the walls, and comfortable seating that invites you to linger—making it the kind of place that inspires both focused work sessions and leisurely family visits. Fair warning: the menu can be hard to read and service inconsistencies show up in reviews, but when things click, you get genuinely excellent coffee and fresh pastries paired with a vibe that's genuinely interesting.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

I've never been to a Cafe Indigo before, but I was gifted a coupon at a festival and discounted ice isn't something you should pass on. When I arrived, I was greeted by someone with such a positively lovely spirit! She was so helpful to me deciding what I wanted and her…
