17 Best Coffee Shops in West Lafayette

“I come here at least once a week to get coffee before studying and I’ve never been disappointed. The coffee is great, lovely atmosphere of the Union hotel, and the baristas are always kind and efficient. Shoutout to Liz, Daija, Daniel, and Gigi for always making the experience great!!!“

“I have tried coffee beans from all the cafés from West Lafayette and even some from Chicago and this one remains my favourite
I just bought my 6th bag of beans from them
And they grind the beans for free!
Amazing drinks, made to perfection“

“Used to be copper Moon. Java House has had a wonderful job with their coffee selection and what they offer. A really good place to grab a bite to eat in the morning or a coffee to go! There are a couple of them in West Lafayette and lots around the state. Go check them out!“

“Went to 2 locations; Washington St yesterday and New York St. today. Hands down the best Americano I’ve had from a coffee shop. I get it hot and plain, and the flavor is smooth and amazing. Purchased their boxed concentrate today. Both locations had 3 staff member, all of whom were friendly and conversational. And if you like baked goods, the cappuccino muffin was the best muffin ever, I wish I could replicate the taste and texture at home!!“

“Great place to study and meet friends“

“This starbucks is really great in the summer. Short lines and friendly staff who know how to make the drinks quickly.During the semester, it's very busy and you can wait a long time before getting your drink, plus the batistas are often new and inexperienced.“

“amazing brunch french toast was perfect. kids loved there crepes and blt was awesome“

“Vienna is a pillar for community and inclusion in West Lafayette. The owner treats customers like family and all are welcome. I can’t imagine my hometown without this place.“

“This is my wife and I’s favorite restaurant in the Greater Lafayette area. #1!! We regularly go for brunch. Drinks are amazing. Out door seating area is very nice. I’ve never had an unpleasant experience here and have even had conversations with other patrons while enjoying the patio area.“

“Pictured are the egg and shrimp sandwich, 2 mango drinks, green tea smoothie, and mochi. All are delicious and I regularly get them. I really like that mango mango occasionally has promotions/deals. Would recommend. Pricey but delicious and the vibe of the restaurant is super cute. Would recommend for a trip with friends“

“Great place to study and meet friends“

“Nice building with a cozy interior, comfortable seating, and a bustling atmosphere. They also have great drinks, which my favorite is the Mango Fantasy. Service was good, staff is nice. Not much else to say other than the fact that I will come back!

Vegetarian options: I didn’t see anything that had meat in it… they serve drinks and cakes so I doubt their menu is carnivorous.

Dietary restrictions: I am lactose intolerant myself and still was able to drink their milk drinks since they were made with lactaid milk. Not sure about gluten though.

Parking: There is a free parking garage that’s like a basement, it will be challenging to find it but it’s there.

Kid-friendliness: There are a bunch of board games, Jenga and a loud, bustling atmosphere so children will fit right in and most likely won’t grab everyone’s attention/judging eyes.“

“I’ve been going to Fuel for years, first when it started downtown, then moved to Five Points and then expanded to this location. They’ve always offered an amazing selection of coffee, snacks and food that are always worth it! Banana pancakes and french toast are the bomb! I’ve probably had everything on the menu at least once and it never disappoints! Colleen has also done a wonderful job at making Fuel a community stop for Lafayette friends and family. As long as I’m in Lafayette, I’ll always be going to Fuel for a reset on the busyness & chaos of life! ?“

“This place has me confused on how the cheapest way to do java beans becomes the most expensive! There is some redemption, a gorgeous and inviting ambience, lovely staff, parking garage nearby, full on variety of cold brews, and loyalty perks attempted but not generous at all. It is expensive, wow, just wow, what sort of high class thick wallet sippers are coming here again and again? Nearly eight bucks for a non-dairy sixteen ounce drink? I have a hunch this place goes first in the next economic crash! Everything is intensely sweet without any espresso notes or balance expected with any sort of latte. The marketing here leads astray due to it all being cold brew while appearing like drip and pressurized brew. Perhaps an easy favorite for the sweet toothed baptized babe yet for actual espresso craft one must venture to Sacred Grounds, Leaps, Fuel, Star City, Eleventh House, Revelle, Wanderlust, even Vienna has more authentic origins. Here the consistency is fair, some seasonal brews give fun dessert treats but prices and serious lack of quality hold me back. No home crafted syrups, it's all that cheap sucrose in plastic pump bottles. There is no way to make cold brew anything but weirdly relaxed coffee. Sure it's sublime in smooth texture and a wild hit of caffeine however should cost less than half the prices charged here.“

“Remy (I really hope I'm spelling her name right) was an amazing barista at this location. She was able to accommodate me and went above and beyond in her service. She was so sweet and kind when she didn't have to be. She deserves a raise! Wonderful experience and an even more wonderful barista.“

“This Starbucks is at a good location. There’s a lot of space for parking and for seating inside the store. The interior is also good and likable. I enjoy going there and sitting there with my laptop for my work because of all these reasons.“

“Not the fanciest coffee shop, but my favorite coffee spot on campus no question. I'm a graduate student and Lavazza perfectly fits my coffee needs during the work week. Helps that there for coffee is roughly 50 cents cheaper than other near by coffee shops.“
