• Its first store outside of Indiana opened on Yale's campus last month.

What's next: The Indy-based company told WTHR it's looking to open 30-40 more franchise locations over the next five years.

Flashback: MOTW grew out of a popular Instagram account @muslimsoftheworld, which was founded by Sajjad Shah to counter anti-Muslim sentiment.

• Shah and his wife opened the first MOTW coffee shop on 38th Street in the Lafayette Square area in 2021.
• Locations in Castleton, Fishers and Carmel followed.

Brew of the week: Date cardamom latte

• One of MOTW's signature flavors, it's slightly sweet and lightly spiced — a delicious departure from your everyday vanilla.
• Cost: $6
