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.

Owner & Founder

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.

What We Stand For

Eight core values

These aren't aspirations written on a wall. They're how we show up every day.

01

Quality

We source thoughtfully and craft carefully. Every drink is made to be worth your time.

02

Community

This shop belongs to the neighborhood. We show up, we listen, and we give back.

03

Authenticity

No pretense. We are who we are — a neighborhood coffee shop that takes its craft seriously.

04

Hospitality

Everyone who walks through the door matters. We remember your name and your order.

05

Excellence

Good enough is never enough. We hold a high bar in everything we do.

06

Sustainability

We partner with suppliers and producers who share our values — from bean to cup.

07

Growth

We invest in our team. Every barista here is learning, growing, and building something real.

08

Integrity

We do what we say. We're straight with our customers, our suppliers, and each other.
