"Cute little coffee house with convenient, fresh salads and cold sandwiches, Italian sodas, different kinds of cookies, and of course coffee"
"I would love to go here more often but charity panhandlers are always standing right outside the entrance"
"Been here 5 times in the past 10 days and their cappuccinos were made exactly as ordered (we like them extra, extra dry), the indie coffee roasters coffee they use is flavorful and it has become one of our favorite coffee shops"
"Bova, has it all! Yummy snacks, excellent specialty drinks and chai! I love that I can just grab an amazing cup of coffee without all the political propaganda being shoved down my throat! Kudos to the owner and manager! The outdoor seating in my favorite!

"Today I was disappointed in how a patron was treated in this coffee shop"
Cute little coffee house with convenient, fresh salads and cold sandwiches, Italian sodas, different kinds of cookies, and of course coffee. They have a little back room to sit down in and it would be super cute for a small meeting or get together. The outside has a patio and several chairs, and a little bowl of water for thirty pups♡ I can't wait to come back here. Oh! I got the Honey Lavender Latte and def recommend!

they do have a small (I'm talking 5 or 6 cars) parking lot next to the building, but diagonal from them is a free parking lot with plenty of space. The street parking is also free and depending on the time that might be the best option. Be prepared to get those steps!
I would love to go here more often but charity panhandlers are always standing right outside the entrance. I donate my time weekly to my local food shelter, but they don't seem to care. They pull you in with nice complements and questions which eventually lead to coerce attempts to get you to donate on the spot (in reoccurring payments) to a charity you've never heard of. I'm all about charitable organizations but I would not donate my time or money to one with tactics this disingenuous (don't bother saying "put me on the email list" or "can I have a card to look this org up later?" They won't stop until they get your card details). I wish I could exist in my neighborhood without being hustled :( the coffee here is good though

Been here 5 times in the past 10 days and their cappuccinos were made exactly as ordered (we like them extra, extra dry), the indie coffee roasters coffee they use is flavorful and it has become one of our favorite coffee shops. The peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are also excellent. The only thing disappointing is that we don't live close enough to visit daily - we live 30 minutes away in Fishers that doesn't really have a decent coffee shops or resterauts so we do come down to fountain Square, Broad Ripple, Mass Avenue and Carmel for dining. Love the Inclusivity of Fountain Square.

Today I was disappointed in how a patron was treated in this coffee shop. The staff and management would do well to remember that this is a diverse neighborhood full of people from all walks of life and the staff should do their due diligence to make sure that everyone is treated with kindness and respect while they are inside that establishment spending money. I would like to not see someone being treated rudely by the staff next time . This was Coffee shop is two blocks away from my home and I come here far too often to be met with this type of negativity. Check with your staff maybe have some sensitivity training thank you.

Best spot in FountainSquare to get coffee! Great atmosphere with plenty of options for indoor and outdoor seating. I don’t love Utopian Coffee, but it beats Starbucks over roasted coffee any day. I thought it is a cool idea that they do a single origin from a different IN coffee shop everyday. The one they have right now is a single origin from Costa Rica and roasted at a coffee shop in northern Indiana. It was a decent cup of coffee, a little to acidic and light for my taste desires. But, truly overall this is a solid spot to grab a coffee and hangout for a few hours.

Nestled near downtown this little gem is beautifully decorated with chic merchandise and elegant coffee mugs. Step inside and you are transported into a coffee world with a very stylish ambience. The coffee is absolutely mesmerizing, tried the Mayan Mocha (Dark Chocolate, Cinnamon and Cayenne Pepper) was a refreshing delight on a cold winter morning with amazing, warm and spicy flavors. The Bronze Latte had deliciously warm flavors of turmeric. Professional and quick service, dogs are allowed and pretty easy to get street parking in the early hours right opposite to the coffee store.
This place has some of the best lattes I've had in the city! Their Spanish latte is the perfect blend of sweet and cinnamon on a chilly winter day. It's my go-to drink when I come here. They also have a few seasonal drinks off the menu which I have yet to try, but sound cozy and yummy. There is a small selection of baked goods by the front counter/register, but it is their coffee/espresso drinks that keep us coming back for more (and their killer decor). Parking is made super easy with a free, small adjacent lot or street parking out front, which is widely open during the day time.
LOVE this coffee shop, 5 stars all around. Has quickly become a FS staple. Also - when they first opened, I stopped in with my pup on our walk on a cold night, I only had Apple Pay on me which they didn't take at the time, so I was just going to come back another time. However the owner insisted I order a drink for my walk. Such a kind and classy addition to the neighborhood.

Went here for the first time today with a friend and loved it! Both of our drinks were delicious, and we both enjoyed the snacks we got- a slice of coffee cake and a blueberry & cherry muffin. We sat outside since it was so nice out and enjoyed the coffee, weather, and time to catch up! The staff was super nice and very helpful when asked questions about the drinks and recommendations!! I will for sure be back.

By far the best tasting espresso I've found In Indy yet (I make frequent trips there and am always trying to cafes). Their espresso tastes almost like its a light to medium roast, sweet with a little bit of citrus, overall amazing. Their specialty drinks surprised my girlfriend and I too, they were flavorful while not making us feel like we were drinking a dessert. The homemade pastries are a must try!

Excellent place! The lattes are so smooth and my favorite is the Mayan with a little spicy kick. Lemonade is made in house and the pastries are fresh and tasty. You can add puree and flavors to the lemonade. Each time I've visited, the staff have been warm and inviting. They are taking Covid19 precautions and you can go in and do take out ordering or sit outside as there is plenty of outdoor seating. The mural on on the building is beautiful and I side is very hip and modern.
What can I say about Bovaconti Coffee... It's delicious and refined. The atmosphere is top notch and there are so many books and crannys to hide and converse with friends. I enjoyed myself so much I got a second cup of coffee... The staff was super nice and explained the drinks on the menu that I wasn't familiar with, without being annoyed. There was a small line but it I could tell everything was worth the wait. ☕
Bovaconti is delicious. They have a great variety of options from coffee to teas, and their atmosphere inside is even cooler. The overall ambiance itself is worth the visit. It’s a great place to meet up with friends, study, and just get work done! My favorite was the matcha and mexican latte!

Well, in the two times I’ve been, I’ve never enjoyed the drinks. We got drip the first time. Second time I got a Spanish latte. To be honest, I’ve never had a Spanish latte with cinnamon before and that really threw me off. Didn’t like that. But I also didn’t love the drip, so I’m sticking with 3 stars for now. The atmosphere is amazing. Bathrooms were kind of dusty.

When I am traveling across the country I always google coffee shops on my route. The Bovaconti had the best reviews. So I pulled off the freeway and found this great coffee shop is a cool neighborhood. The coffee did not disappoint. I ended up buying three different blends, one of which I am having right now. The food offerings were tasty and service excellent. Maybe the best part is they are very dog friendly..
I am a early riser. One of the only coffee shops in Indy open on Sunday and early. I was the first customers and was greeted by Sam. Very nice and helpful. Coffee and service were excellent!!! Nice clean atmosphere, looking forward to visiting again and would highly recommend to others.

Latte was pretty good, but the cranberry muffin was terrible. It was way too sweet and also soggy from being wrapped up in plastic. It went into the trash after a couple bites. If they could offer some good scones, other pastries and maybe other breakfast items, this would be a really nice place for coffee and a little breakfast.

This is my all time favorite cafe. I started craving their coffee after the first Spanish Latte I drank. So smooth and delicious. We don't live in Fountain Square but make the trip 1-2 times a week just for their coffee. Make sure and try the monthly specials (The amaretto/ pistachio latte is so yummy). I haven't been this excited about a cafe since Cafe Espresso in Broad Ripple back in the 80's
This place is awesome EXCEPT that it is always freezing inside. Even in the winter they keep it so cold. I wonder if its so that people don't stay too long! Id stay all day and meet friends all day if it wasn't so cold. The only thing I'd change!

Overpriced and I felt the coffee was pretty average at best. Overhyped place and I’m not even sure why. The barista took our order saying there were sugar free options but later after ordering turned point and said it wasn’t sugar free and yet billed us for the original claim

This place has excellent coffee. I had the honey lavender latte, and it was delicious! There are very unique lattes offered here, like the Spanish latte. This place has great and polite barristas and service. Parking is easy with an off-street lot, and this is directly on the Red Line at the Fountain Square stop. Highly recommend.
This cafe is adorable inside, but unfortunately they do not allow any patrons to hang out inside at all after ordering. The mocha i ordered was delicious and both baristas were really friendly. The sitting areas look really cute for whenever things reopen normally. There is outdoor seating, which will be great when it's warmer.
Fantastic coffee shop in Fountain Square. Great atmosphere, nice outdoor space, and dog friendly. I'm normally not a flavored latte fan (usually like them unadulterated), but I decided to try the Spanish Latte anyway, and it was delicious and perfectly sweetened.

The coffee is holding this place back. It’s design is amazing and it’s a great place to sit and chill or study. But the coffee is not even average level. They just put so much milk in each iced latte that it just ends up tasting like milk and sugar. If only their coffee matched the beautiful place and vibe.
Great location and space. Friendly staff. Drinks are creative and tasty. However, with that having been said, drink quality varies greatly, from tasting different to being hot to lukewarm. Also, they need to invest in a second espresso machine so they aren’t shut down every time their machine breaks down.
Great atmosphere and service. Espresso is not their strong point however. My cortado was underextracted and/or overroasted beans and quite bitter. Milk was oversteamed as well. Nice place, but don't get your hopes up if you're an eapresso snob.

Very cool vibe. Plenty of places to sit inside and they also have a patio. This place is great if you need a quick cup of coffee or to have a meeting. We ordered nitro cold brew with cold foam and hot chocolate. The service was good too! A great local spot.
Incredible coffee shop, I love the midcentury modern vibe with an Italian twist. Their merch is beautiful as I had to keep myself from buying one of each cup/mug they sell. The golden milk was delicious as was the cold foam drink. Can’t wait to go back.
Great local cafe with really well crafted espresso drinks and amazing cookies. I made a point to stop in every day on a recent work trip to Indianapolis. I was really pleased with everything I ordered and the atmosphere was great for getting work done.
Bovaconti made me feel so at home when I moved to fountain square. The atmosphere is the best and the playlist is so so good!! It’s bustling but they’re very quick with orders and I never have trouble finding a place to sit with my coffee and book:)
The apple fritter was very good, as was the coffee. The building is old and interesting. It reminded me of being in the Pioneer Square district of Seattle, where I'm from.
