If you're in Indianapolis, add Stanton Coffee to your list. Tim Stanton is a very good small roaster with a nice but small cafe and a loyal neighborhood following. Open 6 a.m. or so to 5 p.m. most days and convenient to I-65 or I-465 on the west side. Espresso and espresso drinks are extremely good. (Visit www.stantoncoffee.com)

Hubbard & Cravens is another fine option in Indy with several locations but good but not the most amazing coffee I've ever had. Their cafes are very nice, though. (Visit www.hubbardandcravens.com)
