Founders Grounds Coffee Company

This was my first time there. I will be returning! The people that work there on Saturdays are super-friendly! I talk a lot so I talked to all three of them. Luke, Amy, and Diana were very helpful. I asked for recommendations for my food and coffee and both were spot on! My kids drinks and food were great also! Make this place a destination if you’re in the Speedway, Indiana area!!

I was staying in the speedway area for business and needed a good coffee. There are 2 next to each other on main st. Stopped in and tried both, but overall Founders is just the better deal and atmosphere. If you’re into Indy racing lore, and enjoy a good coffee, this is the place to be. Met the owner Jeff and he is a really good dude. Maliki was one of my servers and he was one cool dude and very engaging. Entire staff is great. My coffee was excellent and I saw plenty of breakfast plates that looked delicious. They have it all here. If you want a great way to start your day, I highly recommend this place. Come out and support your local businesses and avoid chains!

This place was great! It is smaller and was quite busy while we were there. We got the seasonal coffee fight. You get to choose 4 drinks out of like 6 options. It came with a free bakery item. We got a Blueberry crumb muffin. THE BISCUITS AND GRAVY WERE SO GOOD! my friend really liked the breakfast sandwich as well. I also was happy to see they had oat milk for a milk substitute for their drinks.

I love this little place! The coffee and food is delicious but the staff are top shelf! So kind! The atmosphere and racing memorabilia are amazing. They also support local artists and crafters by showcasing their work for sale! I recommend you check it out if you are in the area!!!

So happy to have a local coffee shop! Really good coffee. Weird standout- the panini breakfast sandwiches were EXCELLENT. They have a slightly spicy seasoning on the outside of the bread and it is very flavorful. Pleasantly surprised by that. We will definitely be back to try more!

Update: everything here is still great! Love the breakfast sandwiches and the specialty lattes are great!

Stopped by on opening day and was pleasantly surprised to find it so busy! Speedway was in desperate need for a coffee shop. There is a wide selection available on the menu, the staff were super friendly and welcoming, and our drinks were delicious! It’s nice and bright with the windows. They also have coffee beans, candles, succulents, clothing, and art for sale. I plan on making this a regular stop 😊

Absolutely love this place! Lotus drinks are amazing, scones are the best, coffee is awesome! You can't get better customer service either! Only thing I would change is them delivering!

Every time we go into Founders its the best experience! Luke is amazing! He sees us walk in and already has our order up and going! The food and coffee gets better by the day!

Speedway’s best kept secret for coffee. Great service, and amazing latte’s! I’m not huge on ice coffee, but I’m obsessed with theirs. Panini’s are great! I went 5 times one week, it is that good! The owner is super friendly and it’s an overall welcoming atmosphere. Fully recommend

I love this coffee shop! An amazing way to get work done, plus a beautiful back patio to hang out in the sun. The drinks are delicious! I had an apple chai that was a nice little treat to go along with my work.

Coffee/latte flights were fun, unique, and flavorful and are perfect for sharing! Ample parking available, and a cute, comfortable, elevated patio deck. Also important to note - dogs are allowed on the patio! Service was friendly and fast - we will be back.

I work on a construction crew and we go all over indy. my whole crew agrees this is the best place we have found. I am now sent from wherever we work to drive to founder's, even if we are across town! Founder's is the best

Enjoyed our mochas at the IMS museum location. Seems not many are aware they were there. Wasn’t too busy but we were there early on carb day. Prices were fair. Had some nice sandwich and pastry options as well. The maple bacon donut is good.

Founders grounds is the best coffee house in Indianapolis, especially Speedway. Their breakfast sandwiches and pastries are fantastic, the coffee is the best in town, and being there feels like being in a coffee house that belongs in Speedway. The staff is incredibly friendly and accurate and treat you like a friend in their living room who came by to hang out.

Their paninis are great, and on the weekend, if you have a hankering for biscuits and gravy, skip Charlie Brown’s and get your BnG here. Trust me, it’s better.

Their only downside, is when they are busy seating is a little limited, and they only have stairs, so they are not completely accessible for everyone. But you can call them from the front door and they will run your order to you, and they have a cozy balcony out back if there isn’t space inside. I also wish they were open past three.

But, if you want great coffee, a great sandwich, and great service, and you are in the area, hit up Founders Grounds. It does not disappoint.

Always friendly staff, great drinks and food. The owners always make sure their customers are taken care of no matter what.
Thank you Jeff & Jenny …. And of course all the amazing baristas you have….thanks for being part of our family.

My fiance and I went down to Speedway for a spontaneous coffee date. After parking our car we spotted the street sign with panini specials, we both decided we were a little hungry so stopped in, instead of going to our original spot, and boy are we happy we did.

Everyone was very welcoming. The owners were there and walked us through their menu. The employees crafted up some great caffeine cocktails (hazelnut espresso martini was amazing). We also split one breakfast panini and a pulled pork panini. Both sandwiches had great flavor.

This was a nice experience to start my day.

My favorite coffee spot right meow. Really enjoy the flights, but the Great Pumpkin Pie Chai Latte was the whole jam.

I am a HUGE fan of Founders for many reasons. The biggest reason is how delicious their food and coffee is, especially their lotus drinks! The second reason is the atmosphere and how kind everyone is that works here. I have never met a frowning face and I used to come into the coffee shop everyday when I worked next door. Founders is the thing I miss the most about my old job, LOL! If there is one thing you try from there, I’d recommend the buffalo chicken sandwich (hands down the BEST sandwich ever).

Terrific lattes and inside seats and outside seats on the roof! On Main St. Upstairs! It's becoming our regular weekly stop!

Can't say enough about this Speedway establishment. Excellent coffee, service, atmosphere and food. Great place to get some unique gifts too.
