About our Rwanda Coffee:


Wow. This cup shows just how much influence our gifted artisan roasters wield over each batch. Our roasters wanted to showcase the fruit and brightness in this crop from Bufcafe Cooperative and they hit the jackpot with a light roast yielding an exceptionally bright cup and sweet mild body. See if you can taste the mango and citrus notes! Our roaster has a rich relationship with the growers of Bufcafe and we’re happy to note that new crop Bufcafe won honors at Cup of Excellence and earned top RoastMaster honors at the Specialty Coffee Association conference this year. Cafe Rwanda is a program designed to practically support coffee-farming families in Rwanda. Our roaster donates $1 for every pound of Rwandan coffee we buy. The dollars are earmarked for the Coffee Lifeline Project to purchase solar-powered radios and programming. Thanks to the radios, coffee families now have access to weather and agricultural news, educational programming for children, medical information and even entertainment.

Let the blogging begin!  Welcome to the Monon Coffee Company's official blog.  This year marks the 11th year of serving Indianapolis best coffee.  We are proud to be one of Indy's oldest independently owned and operated coffee shops located in the heart of Broad Ripple just off the Monon Trail.  We encourage you to stop by for something cool to drink during the summer heat, and especially for one of our fruit smoothies (made with real fruit and apple juice - none of that box stuff for us!).  The favorite seems to be the Tropical Teaser, made with peaches, mango, papaya, pineapple and banana.  Cool, refreshing, and good for you!

Or try one of our delicious iced espresso drinks.  You won't find a more perfect espresso in Indy, blended in house using only the finest roasted espresso beans.  Our daily brews include everyone's favorite "Choo Choo Brew" as well as an organic fair trade, two additional regular brews and our delicious swiss water processed decaf.  Enjoy
