Great coffee and great atmosphere. Its a great place to do computer work or chat with a friend. The atmosphere is industrial and cozy. They are a great business and their staff is all extremely nice. You can find a cozy table or a nice couch – whichever is better for you!

Great coffee (Zen Coffee) a local dealer and wonderful music. Laid back and quaint with 2nd hand furniture and tables to hang out with friends. Went with a group of ten and 2 french press coffees were ONLY 4 bucks! I think tea and bottled water was only a buck! They ask for love donation with suggested price up on a board...

I love the meat served at this place! Thats also what theyre known for as well! Its different from your typical pho place that serves rare steak which is stiffer. Instead it is chewier here and they give you a good proportion! It didnt take long before the food came out after ordering. The broth and noodles are delicious as well. I would definitely come back here frequently!

The well is a lovely, eclectic coffee house that is great for a meeting of the minds. They are open and inclusive. They celebrate the arts and I always feel welcomed when I visit. The prices are a bargain. Make it your new favorite place.

The Well Coffee House is a great place to hang out with friends, grab a coffee or hot chocolate, or curl up with a book. This place has a selection of books that anyone can read and borrow as well as a good selection of board and other games on hand for people to play. There is a wonderful neighborhood feel to the place. The staff here is super friendly and always there to answer any questions. Their items are reasonably priced (unlike some major coffee chains).I am definitely coming back to this place often!!

I came here for a smash tournament of all things. The staff was very nice and the coffee also was great. I would reccomend theur French press, for only 2 dollars you get a lot of coffee.

This place makes me happy. I never remember how happy it makes me until I step foot inside again.I realize that people get obnoxious about coffee. Sure, I like nice coffee just like the next person, but its when people actually talk about it that I want to tell them to stick a sock in it.That being said, their coffee is from Zen Cafe, a local roaster who only offers fair-trade, organic beans. The Well uses a French Press. So, its a nice place for a simple and delicious coffee. I avoid fancy drinks anywhere.The coffee house is beautiful, its peaceful, its clean and comfortable. Seating is pleasantly worn, second-hand tables and chairs. The floors are wooden and the walls are decorated with interesting, but soothing colors and designs. Nothing too busy or too boring.Board games are provided, along with a small selection of books accommodating different ages.The atmosphere is chill and friendly.

This is my favorite coffee spot in all of Michiana. The coziest place I go to spend my money and time. Feels like a home away from home. P.S. their coffee is amazing as well.

A cozy atmosphere with low prices. We normally get a mocha for a couple bucks when we visit. We like to bring in a game and play it, but they also have a shelf with board games that you can use. Seems to be a popular place with the college crowd as there are often people studying here, possibly from the nearby Bethel campus. It looks like theyre set up for live music but weve never been there while someone was performing.

The Well is not only a great coffee house, but they are a great community member as well. There is so much space to come and work, and they are welcoming to everyone. There are books you can borrow (most of which are well loved classics) and a huge array of artwork to browse through. The volunteer owners work so hard to make it a great place and they succeed.

The well is very cozy. The atmosphere is warm and comforting. There is a play area for the children (not sure how often it gets used though), plenty of books to read on comfy chairs and couches, and some board games. Not to mention the best mocha Ive ever had, and only $2. This place also helps out the community as well. This is definitely a quaint, cozy place to hang out with friends, or relax on a cold day.

I was working with the LGBT center all ages drag show. While I did not order coffee or anything, a lot of people did. Everything was hand made by the barista and everyone enjoyed their treat, as well at the show.

I go to shows in the basement quite often but yesterday was the first day i went to a show upstairs, As a broke college kid and coffee drinker a french press for a two dollar donation that is used to support the community seems very reasonable. The bands were great and the coffee was just as good.

Another Northern Indiana Christian coffee house, but less slick than and thus less obnoxious than, the one that took me by surprise at Granger Commons. I dropped by around 400pm on a Thursday and there were 8-10 teens and preteens hanging out, which I suspect is their major clientele. A big space, with wood floors and community art on the walls. A half dozen tables, along with a lot of comfy chairs and couches. Free wi-fi and plenty of power outlets. Rock on soft volume and kids conversations for a pretty reasonable noise level, though later in afternoon got noiser with noise from an adjacent day care thats part of same building.Chai is yucky sweet from powder. A mixed up box of reasonaby good packaged teabags. Snacks are, the volunteer told me, highly variable: today it was packaged biscotti and package chocolate kiddy graham cracker animals. Theres no actual prices, just suggested donations. Personnel are volunteers and hours are limited based on that. Maybe this is really a 2 star, but Im not quite that hard-hearted.
