Downtown Bloomington cafe on North College Avenue with house-roasted coffee, fresh pastries, and breakfast and lunch; a second shop is near campus.
About The Inkwell Bakery & Cafe
The Inkwell Bakery & Café serves house-roasted coffee, freshly made pastries and its own takes on breakfast and lunch classics. The coffee roaster arrived in 2024, so the beans are now roasted in-house.
The breakfast menu includes a Broken Yolk egg and cheese sandwich, avocado toast and a house-made granola with almonds, pecans and local honey. Lunch brings sandwiches such as the chicken salad sandwich, along with salads.
This downtown shop is at 105 North College Avenue, and a second Inkwell sits near campus on South Woodlawn Avenue. The Inkwell lists dine-in service and outdoor seating on its Facebook page. It also offers catering, digital gift cards, and private evening events in the cafe.
The downtown shop lists weekday hours of 8am-5:30pm, Saturday 8am-3pm and Sunday 9am-3pm, but hours can change, so check before you go.
