Our Story
Where it started.
Georgia Street Grind is an independent specialty coffee shop in the heart of downtown Indianapolis, operated by Indy Grind LLC. Since 2016, we've been a place where the city comes together — over a great cup, a slow morning, or a quick break from the workday.
We're right on Georgia Street in the center of downtown Indy — steps from Lucas Oil, the Convention Center, and everything happening in the city core.
We're not just a coffee shop. We're a gathering place — for the downtown commuter, the creative professional, the community builder, and everyone in between.
Chris Clay
Chris built Georgia Street Grind from the ground up in 2016 with a simple idea: bring genuinely great coffee and a real sense of community to downtown Indianapolis. Nearly a decade later, that mission is still what drives everything we do.
Eight core values
These aren't aspirations written on a wall. They're how we show up every day.
Quality
We source thoughtfully and craft carefully. Every drink is made to be worth your time.
Community
This shop belongs to the neighborhood. We show up, we listen, and we give back.
Authenticity
No pretense. We are who we are — a neighborhood coffee shop that takes its craft seriously.
Hospitality
Everyone who walks through the door matters. We remember your name and your order.
Excellence
Good enough is never enough. We hold a high bar in everything we do.
Sustainability
We partner with suppliers and producers who share our values — from bean to cup.
Growth
We invest in our team. Every barista here is learning, growing, and building something real.
Integrity
We do what we say. We're straight with our customers, our suppliers, and each other.
