From the rich history, to the cozy company. I loved stopping into Red Door Cafe. Daniel was kind enough to give us a small tour and let us know about the love that went into keeping the buildings heritage, and Masha made some great coffee and offered amazing conversation. I appreciate you guys so much

I wouldn't consider myself a coffee enthusiast, but their stuff is AMAZING! I got the mocha as it comes and found myself chugging her lol. I came in about half an hour before close, but the taste and texture didn't give that away at all!

Such a cute, tucked away spot downtown. I went in for a coffee meeting with a couple coworkers, and we had such a nice time. The barista was super friendly and helpful as we all decided what tea to get. I got an iced chai latte, and it had some brown sugar cinnamon on top - delicious! They have two different spaces for sitting, and it was pretty quiet and empty on a Tuesday morning. I love that every window was filled with plants, and all kinds of mismatched furniture, books, etc. made for a hip, cozy vibe. They also have a beautiful looking event space that would be so nice for a wedding reception.

Cyrus is so lovely and so is everyone else here. I really enjoy coming here to work and chat with whoever is around - it feels like a community and you can sense the care put into this place.

I love the matcha here after a photo walk of the city. You can Shirley find a comfortable spot to the left of the coffee bar, they have cozy chairs and warm lighting.

I'm from Ukraine, Eastern Europe. A very cozy cafe, in a good European style with wonderful American music. The coffee is as it should be, excellent. But most importantly the friendly and pleasant staff.

Cute little spot. Fun, eccentric decorations.We liked the matcha.Didn’t love the Turkish coffee. Usually Turkish coffee is ordered with a few variations of sugar. It’s standard. Small, middle, large. Something along those lines. Anyway my middle sugar tasted like no sugar. Maybe they forgot. I don’t know. Crema was okay on it, but it was definitely one of my least favorite Turkish coffees I’ve had in years overseas and in the US.

What a hidden gem! This place literally blew my mind. It is an old church, I believe, turned into a coffeeshop by day, venue by night! The coffeeshop portion is so cute with lots of greenery, I literally did a little photo shoot with all the plants! There is minimal seating where you order your drinks but a larger seated area through a door across the way. It is giving sophisticated but down to earth vibes and they have plenty of syrups (even more obscure ones) which allows you to customize your drink of choice however you want! The barista was sweet and allowed us to walk around and see the beauty of this building and the upstairs auditorium/ceremony room/venue! There is a few parking spots available but don't drive too fast or you might miss it!

A cute little coffee shop in an old church now event venue. Antique furniture and a lot of plants, not to mention the neat decor of disassembled instruments on the walls. I went with my hubby and infant and we ordered two lattes: a pistachio almond milk and a hazelnut macadamia milk latte. The pistachio was definitely better than the hazelnut. Some parking available in back and free street parking along New York Street. The barista was kind and made our drinks quickly. We hope to visit again soon!
I've visited The Cyrus Place event venue for a party before, so I was excited to see them add this little coffee shop in the building as well. As you can guess by the name, it's marked by a bright red door that makes you just want to see what's on the other side. There are a few parking places in a little attached parking lot or you can opt for street parking. I walked inside and immediately enjoyed the greenery, red brick, and eclectic musical instruments and tea equipment decorating the space. There are a few tables, as well as a hidden back room. My favorite part of my visit was the cool bartender who shared a funny story of something that happened that day and was super easy to chat to. She's the kind of person you want in an intimate cafe experience so that you feel right at home. I saw a row of organic tea boxes that all sounded good, saw a few coffee options written on a board, and then saw another sign with a drink special listed on it, but they were all at different parts of the counter, so I didn't really understand if there was a set menu and would like one with all of the options listed on it. I asked about the types of milk they offered because I didn't see that written anywhere either (and sorry if it is written somewhere and I just missed it!). Regardless, I ended up ordering a matcha latte with almond milk and it was delicious. I'd be happy to come back!

So great to see this space alive again in the Lockerbie Square neighborhood. There are a handful of tables for working but I would say it's more of a grab and go vibe. However, in the warmer months, the side patio with umbrellas is the best spot in the house. They offer an assortment of teas, coffee and a few baked goods made by the owner's wife. I would describe this as less of a third wave style coffee shop and more so pumped syrups and coffee beans from Chicago (Intelligentsia). They had a fun French jazz playlist on during my visit. It's a little on the darker side but moody and charming. Overall, a great addition to downtown and happy to see them here.

It is like stepping into the show "Cheers" where everybody knows your name. The workers and some customers would remember me when I walk in and enjoy a lovely chat with me. Plus, there are usually amazing dogs around. If you want to experience the local Indy community, this gem is the place to be.Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance next to the parking lot is wheelchair accessible.

What a gorgeous hidden little coffee shop! I absolutely love the menagerie of plants by the windows all around to make the place feel like a cozy little greenhouse. I went around 1 pm on a weekday so it wasn't crowded at all, so I got my order pretty quickly. My orderCappuccino ($5): a perfect balance of coffee and milks, needing no sweetener whatsoever (even if you're a sweet tooth like me!)Chocolate chip cookie ($3): delish! Comes warmed too. My only critique is that it would be nice if there were some savory options in terms of food. While I love a sweet pastry with my coffee, it's nice to have something to balance a sweeter coffee drink. Most accessible street parking would probably be on New York Street, where the entrance is located (not East Street like Apple Maps would tell you!)

Red Door Cafe has been on my list for a while and I dropped by today needing the extra caffeine. First off don’t get thrown off by seeing a church at the location. This was a church which got converted to a hall for weddings and events later and Red door cafe opened last year.One step in it has all the greenery, warmth and coziness you would crave in a coffee shop. The touches to the unfinished brick wall are so aesthetically pleasing. You see different decor like a king size lamp, boat tucked in each corner.The Americano and orange cranberry scone need no introduction- just the right flavor and touch. Customer service was on point and courteous.Parking is available behind the building, street parking is an option too!
