Blue Mind Coffee: The Weekly Wave #06
Welcome to The Weekly Wave, a weekly newsletter highlighting the amazing local coffee shops in Indianapolis. This week, we're introducing you to the new Blue Mind Coffee on 38th Street!
What we love about Blue Mind
After a brief hiatus, The Weekly Wave is BACK! And today we’re going to talk about a new café that has been on everyone’s mind lately: the new Blue Mind Coffee on 38th Street.
Blue Mind started roasting coffee in their garage in 2015, and it has been a dang treat to follow along with them ever since. Their new venture into a brick-and-mortar café has exceeded all of our expectations, and probably even some of their own.
If you haven’t been to the new Blue Mind yet, you have to.
Located on the corner of 38th Street & College, their new space is as warm as it is welcoming; the staff is knowledgeable and kind; and the coffee is perfect—literally.

What to order
Blue Mind is one of those places that just doesn’t miss. They care so much about the coffees they roast, and they bring that passion seamlessly into how they prepare it for us. I genuinely and truly mean that anything you order will be absolutely incredible.
So far, I’ve only gotten the drip coffee because it is unreal. I mean seriously just so good. I’ve repeatedly ordered a natural Guatemalan coffee that is one of the best coffees I have ever had. I have posted about it on Instagram a million times because I can’t stop thinking about it.
They have a smaller curated menu because they want to do everything perfectly, and I gotta say: they are doing everything perfectly.
Whether you order a latte, black coffee, or a tea, you genuinely can’t go wrong.
They also provide an assortment of treats and things from other local partners so you always have something good to snack on, too.

Good coffee for good people
As I mentioned, I’ve been a big fan of Blue Mind for such a long time. Yes, they roast amazing coffees, but they are also so much more than that.
Since Andy and Sarah started roasting coffee, they have been very intentional about everything they do inside and outside of their roastery. They have always been very active in the local coffee community, and their doors have always been open to anyone and everyone.
It’s in the way they talk about their coffees. It’s in the way their show up for other people. It’s in the way they talk about complex issues, in and out of coffee. It’s in the way they show up and have real conversations.
I have seen first-hand how intentional Blue Mind has been about coming into this community. They have been very intentional in being part of their community. Their intentions show up in what they offer, how they offer it, the staff they employ, the way they talk to the people in their café, and just so many other ways we may or may not see.
For all of these reasons and so many more, I have always been and will always be a Blue Mind coffee fan.
