Coat Check Coffee
401 E Michigan St, Indianapolis, IN
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside the historic Athenaeum building, Coat Check Coffee rewards those who seek it out with a moody, atmospheric space that feels like a carefully curated secret. Their espresso-forward menu shines with creative signature drinks like the butterscotch latte, paired with rotating pastries and brown butter baked goods that justify the slightly higher price point. It's the kind of place that pulls you into a slow afternoon of work or conversation, with plenty of room to settle in and linger.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Wifi.

Coffee place in cool Athenaeum. Could definitely miss this spot if you’re not looking for it. The lighting in the seating area is dark and the space feels kinda random/not clearly delineated from the rest of the building (shared with other businesses). Coffee was good but pricey…

We like to switch up our coffee shop routine on the weekends, and this spot’s actually a solid choice. They’ve got a nice rotation of pastries that change often, which keeps things interesting, and their coffee has gotten better since my first visit. I’ll be honest, the first…
Just an average coffee place in a cool building. Definitely 5 stars for atmosphere. The tea was decent and the breakfast sandwich was alright, just kind of over-priced. I think after tax and tip it was $21.
Really cool place! So much history and beautiful architecture. It’s connected to the Rathskeller! Its big and has lots of space to do whatever. Plenty of seats. The croissant and biscuit were delicious. There was other food available! It was busy but the workers got things out…
