This location is very easy to get to and stands out from the street just by the name! I was drawn towards the peanut butter cup frozen coffee drink and it was also recommended. The drink was amazing! Definitely coming back to try more drinks. They also roast their own coffee each week and sell it, this will also be a good try for the future!
An adorable little cafe. Off the beaten path a tad, but its 100% worth it. I love going there. The service is good. The value is fantastic. The atmosphere is welcoming and stylish. I really cant say enough good things about Strange Brew. Youll just have to see it all for yourself. :D
My absolute FAVORITE local coffee shop! I’ve been coming here for YEARS & it just keeps getting better 😍. The decor of the shop is super eclectic, relaxed & cozy, so it’s easy to just hangout with friends & chat for a few hours over coffee. Their drinks are always delicious & I love how they create some festive/holiday drink specials as well. All of the employees are always welcoming & inviting.
Awesome coffee shop. This is what all coffee places should be :)
Really great little place. The drinks are creative and tasty... I have tried both the Peanut Butter Cup and Fruity Pebbles blended drinks, and both were really good. On top of the beverages, the small food menu is also very good (bagel sandwiches are always a good idea). The decor is quirky and the service is friendly. I will absolutely be back to support this small, local business.
My FAVORITE coffee shop in the world! The staff is friendly and quirky. The shop itself is fun and quirky. My favorite drink is the Blonde Bombshell. Can never go wrong with a Blonde Bombshell 😉
The coffee here is always a treat I get when Im in Indy from Chicago and I absolutely love their Peanut Butter Cup iced coffee! I wish I could find a shop like SB in Chicago!
Have been going here for years for coffee beans. Have not had a blend I did not like yet. Fave may well be the Zombie Defense Blend, or the Triple-B blend.Have been able to relax in the store with a sandwich or muffin, a Peanut Butter drink, and just while the time away chatting with friends. Looking forward to going back and being able to do so again.
Loved it.Had mocha and muffin. Someone paid it forward. SO all was paid for. Felt very blessed this morning 🌄Atmosphere was very nice. Ill be back.
Hands down the BEST coffee on the planet. The staff is excellent, friendly and always happy to help find your favorite brew. The shop itself has a fun and inviting atmosphere. Always highly recommended!
My favorite coffee shop in the entire Indy area. They have a selection of coffee roasts, all great. I usually end up with a drip coffee, iced americano, something like that. They do quite a few mixed espresso drink, but I havent travelled through much of that menu.The owners and the employees are an absolute pleasure to interact with. Its one of my favorite spots in Greenwood.
Ive gotta admit, Im not much of a coffee drinker...but I stumbled on this place through Facebook. Hands down my new favorite place. Great staff....great vibe....and even really great coffee. Kudos.
Great coffee, fun atmosphere. A great neighborhood favorite!
If I lived closer, this would be my go-to coffee spot. Local art, good selection of baked goods and flavors for coffee drinks. I also enjoy their FB posts and that they are continuing to require masks (as of April 2021). Next time Im in the neighborhood, Ill swing by.
This local coffee shop not only roasts and brews fantastic coffee they are also endeavoring to create a safe place for their customers by requiring masks for all who enter. This has yielded a lot of backlash towards them from selfish individuals who feel their rights are more important than ensuring others are safe. If you are near Strange Brew Coffee please consider stopping by and supporting a local business that cares about you and all people.
I don’t come this way often but make it a point to stop in when I do. Great drinks and coffee house atmosphere.
Long time Starbucks customer, but with the pandemic I was looking for local businesses to support. I came across Strange Brew which is very near my house. Im very simple when it comes to my coffee and just wanted a cold brew. I tried the holiday grogg and it was excellent! Way better than Starbucks! I can drink Strange Brews cold brew black and it is smooth and not bitter. I usually just pick up my to-go order here (which is very simple to place online) but I like the quirkiness and atmosphere of the place and the names of their beverages. I do wish they opened earlier or stayed open later because of my work schedule, so Im only able to visit on weekends, but Ive been every weekend since I started coming here! 🙃
I sometimes go to the Target further away from my house just to build in an excuse to hit this place up. I can not say enough lovely things about this locally owned small business, they have taken the safety of their staff and customers so seriously this past year! Im always proud to shop here. I found them through the local roller derby team about 8 years ago and have been making regular pilgrimages to the southside ever since for the tasty brew, fresh roasted beans, breakfast sammies, and the helpful friendly staff. Theyve just kept getting better and I cant wait to see what they do next!
Strange Brew is truly one of my favorite places in the world! The owners have curated an amazing culture of customer care, quality coffee, and positive interactions with their neighbors. I personally have loved being able to sit for hours, drinking coffee, having conversation and/or reading books.Its a destination that if I have friends in from out of town, Ill make sure to drop by if were going to be within 15 miles of the place.Additionally, during COVID, Ive appreciated that they have made accomodations for folks who have medical issues or a general...hesitancy...to wear masks by offering curbside service and that theyve created a mask positive interaction with the public.Also. The star comes on when you turn on the bathroom light. Its, like, the greatest coffee house innovation ever. Dont know what Im talking about? Well, you should swing by, drink coffee and watch the star.Also, bonus? Veteran owned!
Everything about this place is phenomenal - the coffee, atmosphere, food and staff! A much better alternative to Starbucks.. support local businesses!!
The staff was soo nice and knowledgeable about their products!
This is my favorite spot in my hometown. The coffee is amazing and the shop is artistic and inspiring. It’s the perfect spot to read, study, work, or spend time with loved ones (when the world isn’t experiencing a pandemic). Additionally, the workers are kind and take precautions to protect their customers from Covid-19 to the best of their ability. I highly recommend this local coffee shop!
The service is very kind and courteous. The coffee is great!
Review directly for SB: I love this place. Ive been coming in off and on for years now. Theyve been nothing but wonderful not only for their customers, but for their community, as well. Theyve always gone above and beyond what youd expect from a coffee shop.Now, lets address the elephant in the room. Masks...I work for a small business - two owners and three hourly employees (including myself). We have to enforce the mask mandate, as well.Personally, I dont care for wearing masks. However, my personal opinions on masks mean d*ck when Im told by my bosses AND the state that in order to have customers in the store, they need to have masks on.I know of small business owners in Central Indiana that have been cited and have had to go to court because they were caught allowing someone in their business without a mask on. Not only is that time consuming, but it could get rather costly. As a small business, your time is your money AND you could get slapped with a fine from the state, too.So, to all of you self-righteous indignant individuals that have nothing better to do with your time than complain about having to wear a mask for 30 seconds while you grab a cup of coffee: get over yourselves. This isnt about you. They do have a curbside option or, better yet...make your coffee at home.With how hard this year has been on small businesses, it blows my f*cking mind that people will complain about a small business doing everything they can to even remotely stay open.Those complainers have obviously never owned their own business or had the pleasure of of working for a small business struggling to survive.Just...stop...
After reading in the news about customers becoming angry when asked to wear a mask, I just had to praise the owners and staff for taking such a noble stand. Wearing a mask is such a small thing for us to do. It helps keep others and ourselves safer from the virus. We also get to come in and get our super delicious coffee!! Its a win-win situation. Thank you so much, Strange Brew!!
I have never tasted coffee so good in my life. Definitely much better than Starbucks!!! They also have very friendly service and a place to sit and relax there as well. The only thing I dont like about it is theyre not open longer hours. I cant usually get there before 5:00 when they close but if Im in the area early I definitely stop!
All the coffee blends I have tried from Strange Brew are amazing. Staff are great people. 🤩
Kind & caring and their coffee is delicious! I appreciate that they are following science and keeping their customer safe. I also greatly appreciate curbside service so that I can pick up and go and dont have to wait in a line.
Great atmosphere, drinks and people. It’s also wonderful seeing a company care about their staff and patrons enough to still require masks at the height of a pandemic :)Keep up the good work!
Strange Brew has amazing customer service. I had ordered coffee to ship for a gift and screwed up the order. They contacted me right away to find out if I wanted it shipped. Process was smooth and I know they went above and beyond to help me. Highly recommend!
The ladies and Mr. Daniel are so nice. The music they play is all of my favorites and the drinks are divine. The bathroom is always clean and orginized. Today we had coffee and a muffin over a game of UNO.Take a date or friends for a relaxing time that feels more like a lounge than just a coffee cafe.
Literally the greatest coffee shop of all time! Amazing drinks, fantastic staff, great food, and super cool decorations. Definitely the best thing Indiana has to offer.
They are the FRIENDLIEST coffee shop I have ever been to. They have the best coffee, best staff, they CARE about their staff and their customers. They go above and beyond to ensure SAFETY in these scary times. They have been around for a a long time in Center grove and are a staple to this community. You couldn’t ask for a BETTER MORE FRIENDLY MORE CARING MORE TALENTED BUNCH OF BARISTAS IN ALL THE LAND!
Best coffee shop ever. Try the Holiday Grogg! I can’t wait to make it back there.
Great coffee, great service, nice atmosphere!! I live in Illinois, but when I’m in town I always pick up a package of your Holiday Grogg to enjoy at home! Thank you to whomever ‘paid it forward’ today, your kindness made my day!
Fantastic local shop with something for everyone. Their menu offers classics and plenty of creative new ones to try! My go-to is the lavender latte (& occasionally a warm muffin - yum). Love the curbside pickup, perfect for grab and go with little ones!
Really liked the coffee and the blueberry muffin that I had. Its a really cute and cozy place. I wish that the tables werent arranged like they are where we are cut off from half of the shop. I understand why its done but I dont have to like it! :)
We love the coffee here! The Holiday Grogg cold brew is my favorite coffee out there. We love to support this business but weve had some issues with a barista who works here. Because of this we usually just order our coffee ahead and take it to-go. I wish some of the staff was a little more friendlier that way we could comfortably enjoy the artsy inside but oh well. Everything else is wonderful. :)Edit: I had a talk with the owner shortly after this review and I felt heard and validated! It was easily something we could talk about and we found a solution to make sure this problem didn’t happen again. I absolutely love it here and will always continue to go back!
Amazing place and great people. Very yummy drinks.
Friendly small town ambiance. Yummy Paris tea latte.
Best coffee in town! If I lived closer, it would be a danger to my wallet 😅 my boyfriend and I swing by every Saturday before grocery shopping (I dont think grocery shopping would be bearable without a white pumpkin beforehand!) Ive never had a bad drink here and its always a pleasant experience.
We love this shop ! They do curbside which is amazing for parents and also during the pandemic! I love their breakfast sandwiches, chocolate chip muffins and blonde bombshell drink .
Best coffee in greenwood & amazing staff and owner.
Awesome coffee! The Mark Go try it. Youre welcome. Caffeine and kindness all in one stop. 10/10 would recommend.
Best cup of coffee Ive ever had! This place is such a gem, the people here were super nice as soon as I walked into the door. If you choose to stay they bring the coffee to you. the coffee itself has a rich, bold taste that is so unique! I got the mark which was the perfect amount of sweet while still being able to taste the deliciousness of the beans. Overall, best coffee in Greenwood by far!
My family all loves the coffee here. However if you are a non coffee person like me, you should try their Chai tea latte, it is seriously the best one I’ve ever had. It puts Starbucks to shame.
Best owners, best baristas, best coffee!! Wonderful homey feel in this friendly local spot. These people work so hard to keep going during such a rough time for local small businesses. Be sure to mask up as required by businesses within the state as mandated, or order curbside if you can’t or have a car full of littles ❤️ Keep up the great work and rolling with the punches Strange Brew! Be sure to go get your next cup of amazing joe at one of the best local places around!!
Great people, great coffee, perfect combination.
I went in for more sugar for my coffee and was asked to adjust my mask and I noticed the people who were not drinking or eating sitting and they were on their computer not even wearing a mask..wont be going back .just a strange place
Fantastic local coffee shop! I drive from the north side to get their coffee.
Their drinks are so good!
This place is the BEST coffee place ever! The coffee is just perfectly brewed and the people are sweet. SUPPORT LOCAL
This is my new favorite coffee shop! They have comfy chairs with plenty of outlets, and let you work for hours. The vibe is awesome. The coffee is wonderful. The food is delicious. And the staff are some of the most fun people youll meet.
Great coffee and friendly staff, highly recommend the holiday grog and peanut butter cup.
You can’t get any better. The owners know what they’re doing and they’re aMaZiNg, honest, hard-working people!
Nice setting and good coffee.A few of my kids and I stopped in for some coffee since were not typically in this area. The service was excellent and the environment was very comfortable. It seems like a place that you can quickly stop in for drink to go or where you can sit down to work / read for a while.They have one of my favorite signs hanging up. It reads something like, Unattended children will be given espresso and a puppy.
Ive never been here before today, and I unfortunately live too far away to be a regular. My Americano was great and so was the atmosphere. I met with a group to hold a meeting and it was the right place. The staff were helpful offering suggestions to people and helped to accommodate a woman who needed assistance.
I got my Strange Brew Quarantine Brew yesterday and brewed my first cup today. Super tasty coffee and really fast shipping even in the midst of this quarantine. Thanks!
The best coffee around. Pleasantly strange selections and artwork
Good brew. Decent prices.
I always make a point of stopping at Strange Brew whenever I am in the area. The coffee is always great and the baristas are always friendly and helpful. Many non-dairy milk options, as well as a tasty vegan carrot muffin make this a great place to stop in for a quick snack and delicious cup of coffee!
Favorite coffeehouse in the area! Service is exceptional and never have to wait long. Coffee is strong, food is fresh and delicious, and ambiance is eclectic. Love meeting friends here or stopping in for coffee on the go! Im here at least once a week - its a must!!
I’m here several times a week. This is one of my favorite places to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee while reading or playing on my tablet. I love to meet friends here to catch up. Staff here are really wonderful, every one of them. I wish they had evening hours.
Their pumpkin spice chai is the best beverage ever!
All the beverages Ive ever had here are great. The staff is super nice, and always kind to my children. The decor is pretty funky, but it matches the vibe. Its been there for years so you know theyre doing something right, especially in that strip.
Love the coffee. Love the people who make the coffee. Welcoming and eclectic decorating that makes this an authentic coffeehouse.
Always friendly service and great coffee!
I loved the atmosphere in this shop, I was able to read my book and sip on my coffee undisturbed. The service was great, and so was their food! They also have super yummy smoothies too. It is a very relaxed environment, definitely a shop you need to check out.
I love Strange Brew! I go there to write, study, and get away for a little bit. Their coffee is amazing, and the food is good too! Its definitely the place to go if you like a calming, artistic vibe :)
Absolutely amazing environment. The coffee and food were great, and the people were friendly. This was our first time here, but it will be a weekly staple, now.
First time at Strange Brew and loved it. Plenty of choice between comfy chairs or standard chairs. Ambiance was excellent to study for a while.
I love the vibes this place gives. The coffee is spectacular, the service is quick, the staff are caring. All i could ever hope for in a unique setting with a beautiful soul.
The chai was delightful, as was the experience. Beautiful atmosphere to study or work in. This would be a lovely location to catch up with friends over a delicious drink of choice. There are many options on the menu and the prices are quite affordable. Highly recommend checking out this Greenwood gem if you have not already.
OK, if you are a coffee aficionado you may not consider this a 5 star place. Ill let you decide. But if you live in the Center Grove area this is the place to meet. You can always find a corner where you can read or work. You will meet people you know, from the school system to business people and politicians. Believe me, I would not drive a single mile to go to Starbucks if it means passing Strange Brew.
Exceptional service and really excellent coffee!!
Great coffe and unique environment. A little busy when we went but for the volume of guests service was much quicker than I expected and still had no problem finding seats. Plenty of couches and lounge chairs as well as traditional restaurant seating to choose from. If you are looking for a good cup of coffee you gotta try this place at least once.
You know, Im not sure what I was expecting. But I was pleasantly surprised nonetheless. Its comfortable and relaxing, not overwhelmingly pretentious like a lot of coffee shops. And they have a lot of really good options for people like me who dont like coffee (and ironically ended up in a coffee shop). Its just a place that you want into and simultaneously think I want to work here and I want to live here. We got our drinks to go but stayed to finish them anyway.
(Can I rate it more than 5 Stars?) I cant believe someone would compare them to Starbucks. I mean this is LOCAL, FANTASTIC coffee. This place is what a coffee shop SHOULD be. Dont get me wrong, I can drink Starbucks all day long - but this is by far my favorite. I love sitting in Strange Brew for the atmosphere and the service. If youre just walking in to grab a drink then you definitely wont have the same experience. I love Strange Brew!
Comfy atmosphere, great coffee and more than one sugar free option for those of us who need/want them.
Great coffee and tea, great food options. Fun and friendly staff. Great place to meet with friends or for business.
Great coffee, patient and friendly staff.
I absolutely love their coffee and service. Such an awesome place.
I have only just discovered this place. Its got some great and unique coffee. Friendly staff too. Every customer in the place seems very relaxed and it feels very welcoming.
Love the staff here. They have the best grilled cheese sandwiches and a fantastic sugar free mocha!! Yay!
I was meeting someone here for a quick meeting, and it was my first time in. LOVED IT. The staff was friendly, tea and bagel were great, and its a fun, calm atmosphere. I wish I lived closer so it could be go-to spot, but Ill just have to settle for stopping in whenever Im going through Greenwood. Definitely give this place a try.
The employees are always friendly and welcoming. The coffee is wonderful. Cool coffee house in Greenwood.
Thanks for being open and kind. Keep wearing those masks.
I am a manager at a Starbucks location. This place is my favorite place to go on my day off to unwind. Obviously, I dont let them know I work for their competitor. But I swear, that blonde bombshell has me coming back even on the days that I do work. They have great music (had bowie playing the last time I was in) and the baristas are so nice. I highly recommend this place.
The coffee is the best! I cant have dairy and they were so helpful and accomadating with that! The atmosphere is amazing as well! Everyone is so polite ans welcoming.
Great casual coffee place to enjoy a cup of coffee and ease into the day!
Great drinks
Fantastic coffee not many pastry options I liked the older atmosphere of strange brew than the current
Easily the best coffeehouse in Greenwood, they make excellent coffee and have plenty of comfy seating. Great for small meetings over a cup of coffee for me, or if I want to get out of the house to get some work done. Awesome artwork, as well!
They make a pretty good latte.
Quirky, chill atmosphere. Great coffee
Great local coffee shop! Staff is very friendly and the coffee is fantastic. The poor review below is right, its NOT starpukes.. thank heavens! The coffee is not harvested using child labor like the for mentioned, its not outrageously priced like the for mentioned AND they arent a nationwide chain. Strange Brew has obviously put their own personal touches into their atmosphere and coffee! Good job guys!
