Copper Moon Coffee - Indianapolis

The coffee is soooo bad. It tastes like burnt folgers! You might as well walk over to the Starbucks on campus if you are desperate, or just not have any coffee. I took one sip and dumped the entire container. The employee service is very hit or miss. I've seen them very friendly and also very snarky. I usually stop in to check if they have fresh fruit cups when I crave strawberries, but I would never get coffee here again.

Truly an affront to what coffee and pastries should be. Coffee is scorched, pastries greasy.

The coffee and pastries are of high quality, priced reasonably, and the staff is lovely and friendly.

On the positive side, the portions were generous and reasonably priced, and the service was cheerful and quick. So if you’re not too particular about your coffee, this could be an option for you. It’s definitely a bargain compared to Starbucks or other coffee shops nearby, like Caribou in the IUPUI Campus Center. It really depends on how much you’re willing to spend for quality coffee. As for my ratings for caffeinated drinks around IUPUI and the nearby medical education institutions, they are as follows: 1. Einstein Bros. Bagels coffee in the IT building 2. Caribou in the Campus Center 3. Starbucks in Barnes & Noble at IUPUI (although I haven’t tried the Starbucks in the bank building next to Eskenazi Hospital yet, I assume it’s better than Copper Moon, which serves freeze-dried instant coffee). 4. Copper Moon World Coffee By the way, where are the Asian-style bubble tea or fruit tea drinks on this campus? How about some watermelon-flavored or ginseng tea? And where’s my boba? Such a miss!

After a long day of driving, there’s nothing quite like enjoying a cup of coffee. I was excited to discover a new option: Hawaiian coffee. Unfortunately, they had run out halfway through filling my cup, so I had to choose a second type of coffee to complete it, opting for my old favorite, Mexican. Surprisingly, the Hawaiian and Mexican blend turned out quite tasty! I also picked a cranberry muffin while my daughter chose some grapes and cheese. They always offer a great variety of muffins, biscotti, and small portions of fruits and cheeses. This quaint little kiosk in Riley's Children's Hospital is a delightful spot with a little something for everyone, plus a friendly and helpful staff. It’s always a challenging trip to the children’s hospital with my daughter every few months, but this place certainly makes the day a little brighter.
