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.

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.

They are fast and super polite. I learned today that all of their coffee flavors are made in house and are soy free for those that are sensitive like me.
Im only rating 4 stars because drink consistency is a little here and there. But that also is to be expected when products are hand made rather than machine made.

If you’re in Crown Point and haven’t stopped into Refuge Coffee yet, you’re missing out on one of the best spots in the Region.
Refuge isn’t just a coffee shop, it’s exactly what the name says. A place to slow down, reset, and actually enjoy your cup. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between warm and modern. Whether you’re meeting a client, catching up with a friend, or just carving out 20 minutes to think, it feels intentional and welcoming the second you walk in.
The coffee itself is outstanding. You can tell they care about quality. From a smooth, well-balanced drip coffee to expertly crafted espresso drinks with clean, rich flavor, everything is made with precision. The latte art alone shows the attention to detail. They don’t rush it. They do it right.
What really sets Refuge apart, though, is the people. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. You don’t feel like just another transaction. You feel valued. That matters.
Crown Point has some great local businesses, and Refuge is absolutely one of the standouts. If you appreciate good coffee, great service, and a space that feels like it was built with purpose, this is your spot.
Highly recommend.

We love Refuge for a coffee, lunch, or breakfast date. They have a great variety of lattes, bagels, bagel sandwiches, salads, salads, and some soups. Everything we’ve ordered has been fresh and delicious. My favorites are the brown sugar cinnamon and vanilla bean lattes, breakfast sandwich with jalapeño bagel and sausage patty, the lox bagel, cranberry almond salad, and the chicken chili soup. I’ve liked these so much I haven’t tested out a lot more of the menu:) They have gluten free options as well. On nice days, they open up a wall and the seating flows to the outdoor patio. Cool little place!

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 ❤️

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 was looking for a place that had in house bagels and quality cream cheese. Ended up finding this place after it was recommended from commentators on Reddit. They have one of the best tasting jalepeno bagels I’ve had before and unlike others in the past; they managed to get a great jalepeno flavor into the bagel without having large chunks scatted throughout. That isn’t a bad thing but it does make toasting them in a standard sized toaster was easier. They also have a cinnamon roll with is really good, it’s worth buying a dozen bagels at a time since they offer a discount on that portion. The only thing I would say is I wish the in store menu had all the item that the paper menu does.

The service was great, the coffee was good, and bagel was delicious. The bagel was big enough for two meals!

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.
