Lino's Coffee: adding to my coffee obsession
I simply HAVE to fill you all in on this foodie find that fulfills my coffee craze. During the summertime, when I was staying in Indianapolis, I was able to try out this delicious coffee shop by day turned Italian restaurant by night. It's a rare concept but I was so excited to see what all the buzz was about. Since I was attending an event there, I got to try almost everything on their menu: their delicious pizza, mouthwatering paninis, fresh salads and creamy gelato (flown in from Italy). Every bite I tried was amazing and I couldn't fathom not returning.
After dining in with them for dinner, I was reached out to by their owner via Instagram. He offered me the chance to come in and try out their coffee (something that I had not done yet) for free. Obviously I wasn't going to say no, and holy crap, you guys! It was amazing.
Their drinks were full of flavor, milky (but with almond milk, of course) and overloaded with a unexpected sweetness without being too sugary. I would give this place 5/5 stars and look forward to ordering my usual now whenever I am back in town!
If you're looking to satisfy your taste buds or your obsession with coffee, Lino's is the place for you. They have pastries, coffee, espresso, plus beer, wine, and Italian goodies. If you can't find their address near the Indianapolis Speedway, simply find the Dallara Car Factory, as this cafe is tucked away inside. The best part, you may just sneak a peek at the cool cars inside the museum! It is such a treat, one you will not regret partaking in!
Update -- March 2017 Unfortunately, I was just given word that Lino's is permanently closing it's doors. I will miss your coffee and gelato, but most of all the amazing employees that brought so much positive energy to work each day.
