I stumbled into Indie’s Coffee Bar & Speakeasy and immediately loved the vibe. It is cozy and inviting, with a creative and slightly vintage feel that makes you want to stay a while. The smell of fresh espresso and pastries hits you as soon as you walk in, and everything feels thoughtfully put together.
The treats were great, fresh, soft, and clearly made with care. There are not a lot of hot food options yet, but what they do offer is done really well. I had a coffee that was perfectly made, strong but smooth, with great flavor. You can tell they take pride in what they serve.
What really stood out to me was how friendly everyone was. The owner or GM came over to chat, and you could tell he genuinely cares about his guests, his team, and his shop. It felt more like visiting a friend’s place than a typical coffee stop.
I have not been in the evening yet, but the speakeasy side sounds like such a fun idea. I will definitely be back to check it out. Whether you are grabbing coffee, a treat, or just need a quiet spot to unwind, Indie’s is the kind of place that makes you glad you found it.

So close to perfect, but…
We walked into Indies Café and Speakeasy ready to love it—the vibe is cool, the menu looked amazing, and we were excited for our praline latte and blueberry muffin. Unfortunately the second we opened the door we were hit with a very strong cigarette smell that made it impossible to stay and enjoy anything inside. The coffee itself was also quite bitter, which was disappointing after the long drive. We truly wanted to give this place five stars, but between the smoke and the coffee we just couldn’t. Hoping they improve ventilation and coffee quality—we’d happily come back if they do.

Today I find myself at Indies coffee in Galveston Texas. The proprietor, Brandon, created a venue for those who enjoy high quality coffee and live music.
Today I opted for my usual, cappuccino, a bit dry, in a mug. We also sampled several lattes such as the Lavender and Lone Star.
To be fair, Indie also roasts their own beans, which gives them an advantage over other coffee shops. Which is fortunate for coffee lovers Iike us.
My cappuccino was well crafted, flavor forward, and perfectly dry. The latte’s were equally delicious.
Should you find your yourself visiting Galveston, look for Brandon at Indie coffee. Better yet, stop by in the evening for some live music and a cappuccino. You won’t go wrong.
Enjoy

Visiting Galveston for the first time and found this unique coffee shop on Google. Always looking for a cool unique place to give my business to and this gem was exactly as expected from the other posts. When we arrived, I noticed the river across the way and wanted maybe some seating to stroll along but as we left, we noticed there is a space for that down the street. The owners are very kind. The pastries looked amazing but we had just had breakfast so I didn’t have one. Our coffees were perfect. I had the protein peanut butter and it was strong how I like it. Mild and sweetness. My son had the Matcha iced with coconut cold foam which was very sweet as he likes it. Thinking about heading back tomorrow night at 7 PM for live music.

This place is so amazing. The atmosphere is very cozy and I love that it’s veteran owned. The coffee is on another level, it’s definitely made with love. The gentleman who served us made the cold foam from scratch and he was very friendly, he made us feel welcome! The whole experience was very chill and relaxing, exactly how I like to enjoy my morning coffee. I got a pumpkin spice latte with nonfat milk, light ice, with cinnamon cold foam with an extra espresso shot. And it was made exactly how I wanted!! We also got a cinnamon roll and the Oreo cake cup. I’ll be coming here every time I visit Galveston from now on !

The barista was incredibly personable and knowledgeable. Talking to him was like catching up with an old friend.
There were so many options it was hard to choose, but I went with the barista’s recommendation to get the coffee (deciding between the matcha and chai) and I’m so glad I did.
We even got to see the in house roaster which was so cool.
The pastry case was also stocked and hard to choose, but the mushroom flatbread and banana muffin were perfect.
Definitely found our new spot, try it for yourself!

We were in town for our niece’s wedding and saw great reviews. Some of the best coffee we’ve ever had. My husband’s Americano smelled amazing! My latte was delicious and one pump of flavor was just enough added sweetness. Muffins were good too. I thought to get a photo after I started drinking my latte.
Owner was very knowledgeable and friendly. I should have bought beans there, as he was actively roasting while we were there, but I’ve already placed an online order.

Wow… Probably the best coffee around. Atmosphere was on point and so was the vibe, from the decor to the seating. Owner is a solid guy, super nice, and definitely makes his customers feel welcomed. He took time out of his busy day to introduce himself and the beautiful shop. This place is Vet friendly, owned and operated by a vet. Coffee is beyond good, it’s absolutely great. Desserts and baked goods were amazing. Live performances Thurs-Sunday during the summer. I highly recommend giving Indie a try. Once you do you will become a regular there. I feel like I definitely got more than my money worth here. Great coffee, great entertainment, and great atmosphere. Can’t wait to return.
Be sure to check out their Facebook page for the current line-up. They have quite a bit in the works. See ya there.

This here is a sweet family owned community coffee shop and entertainment operation. During the day its mellow enough to study and chat whilst sipping on Brandon’s coffee which he roasts in house and can tell you all about. All the while, a cast of regulars and locals stop in to sip and chat. During the evening I’m told they have musicians and movies. If Brandon’s taste and appreciation in musicians is as exacting as his taste in coffee then youre in for a treat. Definitely recommend as a casual third space!! Great empanadas too!
