I have been to hundreds of coffee shops, and cant remember one I liked as much. The atmosphere is casual, but not so bohemian as to become distractingly mayhemic. The service is great and friendly, but beware, the coffee is only served pourover style, so if youre in a hurry, the Americano is a better call. The coffee is worth the wait, though, and Id recommend holding out for it. Their smoothies are also very good.The spiced chai was also very good.If you are looking for a snack, Id recommend the adult lunchables over the bakery items. Both locally sourced, but the lunches are just better.

While Im partial to another coffee house in Crown Point, INs Square, Cafe Fresco has some of the most kind, hardworking and dedicated staff! Their coffee is made to order, with individualized, hand-written words of kindness printed right on the cup. The atmosphere is lovely, and I was lucky enough to meet with my local churches womens group there! Thank you so much!

Can’t say enough good about Cafe Fresco. Quality coffee, locally obtained great price point. They offer so many options from lattes to smoothies to bubble teas and the customer service is incredible. Keep up the good work, y’all.

The adult lunchables are a life saver. Friendly customer service served with a full dose of community information.The full tea/coffee/smoothie menu is incredible and always some fresh sweet treats while theyre in stock.

Bre is someone who takes a lot of pride in paying it forward and helping those around her. Cafe Fresco is a cornerstone of the Crown Point community and does more for the area than people realize. Check it out, get a coffee and support one of the most selfless businesses in NWI.

I can’t think of a more enjoyable and engaging experience. The environment of Cafe Fresco is relaxing and warming. The staff are friendly and helpful. The view of the historic Crown Point courthouse is unparalleled. The coffee is brewed to perfection every time.

I love this cafe and Ive been going since 2015. Ive moved since then, but Ive come back a few times. Everyone has always been super kind and friendly. And I love how its always nice and quiet compared to other certain coffee shops in the square. The iced drinks are great and the espresso is tasty. My only complaint is with the coffee. I love that you guys have a good selection of single origin and blended coffees, and that its made to order, but its a bit inconsistent. Sometimes the coffee is amazing but sometimes it just tastes watery. I believe this has to do with how you guys dont boil the water in the pouring kettle. I know it would take a bit longer but if you guys could get an electric kettle I think the quality would improve loads. I hope that didnt sound too critical. This is still one of my favorite cafes, and I will always come back whenever Im in town.

I sought out a specific coffee roaster in crown point and was told that cafe fresco carries their coffee. Upon arrival I was greeted and the barista at the register was very nice! However when I asked questions about different coffees and the overall experience I was very dissatisfied. The iced pour-over was rushed and tasted like coffee flavored water and the espresso in the iced latte was under extracted. Will not return!

Love everything about cafe fresco! Some of my favorite memories, and experiences are here. I love to write, and I’d definitely say Cafe Fresco is my favorite place to go for coffee and work on my writing. The only downside to this review is I wish I had more time to go more often☺️

Best coffee youll ever have. It takes time so make sure you plan accordingly when you go, but definitely worth it. If you sign up for their emails they send coupons all the time and they do not spam you. Hands down my favorite shop for coffee, and the staff is amazing too. I really enjoy the laid back environment and style of the place.

I love Cafe Fresco. The coffee is some of the best Ive ever had, and Ive had a LOT of different coffee (have worked at Coffee shops for about 7 years total). The prices are good too, especially in consideration of the quality. The food is amazing too - love the crepes and the B.E.A.S.T.!The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they really do a lot to stay active in the community and give back. I love the different local artists and things they feature and the atmosphere is great.

Review №29

If youre into good coffee this is the place to go. They use great beans (Intelligentsia) and their house coffee is always made with pour overs; which is arguably the best way to experience coffee. It takes a little longer for pour overs (so be patient) but its definitely worth it and results in a much cleaner cup with lower acidity. If you want fancy foamy flavored drinks go somewhere else, but if you actually appreciate good coffee (without cheap syrups and flavorings) you should be here.

Best Intelligentsia coffee shop this side of Chicago! (Probably the ONLY one outside Chicago!)There is nobody that can even compare to the great service, hot fresh roasted coffee, and cool vibe this place gives. Their tip jar is just an added plus of how much they are intogiving back to the community! I love making my coffee stop here part of my daily routine!

Great place to go and work while in town, I was able to sit there for about 4-5 hours and get a lot done during the day. Good wifi speeds and great smoothies are a huge plus.

Review №38

I like their products. Consistently good. However, I think an adult should be on site during business hours. There were 3 young ladies behind the counter and it took several minutes to even acknowledge I was in the room. No one asked me if I wanted to enter my phone number for points or even mentioned the program. And my coffee was cold, which was regrettable as today was chilly. I will be back, but only during the hours school is in session.

Cool little corner shop. Came with my kids, and they loved the Bubble Tea. I had a coffee drink that was very good as well. We stayed for awhile, and played UNO, as they had some cards available. Relaxing and inviting, we will be returning often!

Excellent Coffee and attention to processing. Its smooth even though strong for a needed wake up bomb. Fresco should connect with Art and Photo displays because of its name. Also, maybe a late night Jam once in awhile. I Will BE Back

Personally, this is my favorite coffee shop in Crown Point. The location on the Square makes it a great place to sit and enjoy your coffee. You’ll get a quality cup, between the beans used and the consistent flavor brewed each time (i.e. smooth and bold, no burnt or sour tastes and/or smells). After ten cups, the eleventh is free and there are occasional coupons.

Great location and atmosphere, in addition to high quality Intelligentsia coffee. Ive been using this as a mobile base to do work from, and its been lovely to sit here and work and sip. But it seems vastly under-utilized. This would be an amazing space for some local music and artists to present their work--someone needs to jump on this!

This place is awesome! Best coffee shop in Crown Point IN by far. I have been to all the coffee houses in town but nothing compares to the quality, atmosphere and people at Cafe Fresco! If you need a coffee, Cappuccino, Mocha or Butterbeer then look no further, Cafe Fresco is the best coffee shop for you!

This is a great place to get a quality cup of coffee. Quite possibly the best coffee Crown Point has to offer. They serve Intelligensia and Smalltown coffees, and of course the myriad of sugar infused cream with hints of espresso everyone seems to love.

Anazing espresso drinks! I personally had the Nutella Latte and it was a great choice. We all got something different (there were 5 of us) so we can try everyone’s drink. We all tried the caramel macchiato (better than Starbucks and I’m an avid Starbucks drinker 🙈, I’d live there if I could), butter beer froyoccino, mocha coconut latte, hot chocolate (AHHHMAAAYZIIING!!), and my Nutella latte. All drinks were really good! We will definitely be going back.

It was great! The Barista I had did have friends in there and was talking to them but she made sure my friends and I got our drinks. We didnt really know how cafes and coffee houses worked and she explained a lot of things and made sure she made our drinks right. I got a green tea bubble tea with the tapioca pearls and it was delicious! The first taste was the best, but drink it fast because theres so much ice, the water overpowers the tea flavor. Overall it was a very cool place with the furniture and the Pink Piano 💖💖. 4 stars! But after our visit there were drunk men from the tiki bar harassing and chasing us so if you arent very tuff I advise you to not stay until 8:00 😂😂😂.
