From our beloved regulars
I just wanted to take a moment to recognize Avianna because her kindness truly made my week. I come in every Saturday, and she noticed my usual order and started having my latte ready for me before I even asked. That level of thoughtfulness is so rare and honestly meant a lot more than she probably realizes. It’s such a small gesture, but it made me feel seen and cared for as a regular. Avianna goes above and beyond, and I really hope her effort and attention to detail never go unnoticed. She’s a big reason I look forward to coming in every week. Thank you for making my mornings better 🤍
Kind staff. Very good food. Not the regular fast food. Quality food and ingredients! I will be back!! Good job bringing healthier options to area!
I didn’t know what to expect when walking into refuge. From the outside it seems like an interesting place to have a coffee shop. But as soon as you walk in, you know you’re somewhere special. The atmosphere was calm, welcoming, even with our kids in tow. Lots of people there obviously having their zoom meetings, but no one turned their noses up at us to include the staff. But then my Americano came out and yes, I judge a coffee spot by the quality of its Americano. I don’t know how to feel about what I’m getting ready to say, but this might be the best Americano I’ve ever had. You gotta come try for yourself. Also their other drinks are fine too I suppose. Based on sampling all of my kids and wife’s drinks. It’s also clear based on some of the decor this place is veteran owned and the very prominent display of an Eagle Global and Anchor with American flag as a backdrop from my beloved Marine Corp. Semper Fi Refuge.
I got a breakfast bagel and iced cinnamon roll latte with vanilla cold foam and LOVED them both! I always love my experience here and the employees are so kind! Also the service was so fast I got my food and latte in only a couple minutes of ordering! The environment is so nice to meet with a friend or do some work/ study!
I absolutely love Refuge. I can’t believe I’ve never reviewed it on here before, my husband and I literally come every single week at least once. I got to meet the owner today, he was so kind! He wanted to try out a new sandwich and gave one to me and another customer for free to try as well. It was a chicken bacon ranch on a jalaepno bagel. INCREDIBLE. They are always the nicest, kindest people here and I love the atmosphere. In the summer they have the big garage door open and eating a bagel sandwich with a summer breeze and the sun shining is probably the closest to heaven on earth I have ever been lol. Oh, and they’re seed oil free which is amazing and so hard to find!! Thank you refuge!!! See you next week ❤️
Another weekend of great service from The Refuge coffee in Crown Point Indiana. The only complaint I have is that there is not another location in Shelbyville Indiana where I live. Saturday I had a cinnamon latte and BLT on a bagel. Everything was so good. Sunday I had another cinnamon latte, a cookie and a cinnamon cake latte, so good. The cookie taste and smell like the ones my mom used to make and they are huge and crisp. Another great weekend at Refuge coffee. On Sunday, the worker knew my name, I had not been there for 2 months... Such a great experience. Everyone is nice and the food is wonderful.
Love this place! I always order the breakfast sandwich on the jalapeno cheddar bagel 🔥 The chocolate chip cookie is also to die for. The strawberry matcha is delicious. Their coffee is good but tends to be on the sweeter side- I usually order half sweet. My only complaint is the coffee is usually warm at the bottom and I have to realllly shake it up to get it all mixed and cold. I wish they’d bring back the sourdough loaves! Overall, love this place!
I have probably been to over 100 coffee shops in my life, and this is by far the best one. From the spicy mayo on the bagel sandwiches to the marshmallow cold foam on the smore's latte - there is not a single thing on the menu that is not fantastic. It's a great place to bring your computer in the morning and get some work done, a place to bring your friends after church, and so much more. Additionally, they offer non-dairy milks and tons of options to customize everything. I will continue to be a frequent customer for years to come!
Tim and I are Foodies. The coffee is superb and the bagels are excellent. Always plenty of cream cheese! Plus the relaxing, open, friendly atmosphere is wholesome. It's warm and welcoming...made me return with my kindle to read and sip awhile. A nourishing experience.
This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the BEST coffee drinks and homemade bakery in Crown Point. The bagels are full of tasty ingredients, fresh, and chewy. My personal favorite is the almond croissant - a flaky, buttery, almondy delight. AND the staff are very kind!😊
