Java House opens in downtown Indy

• After closing its shop in the 360 Market Square apartment building, Starbucks left its Monument Circle shop amid "safety concerns" in 2022 and vacated the Washington Street location earlier this year.
• Starbucks then opened a new store blocks away from the three it had closed on South Meridian Street.
• Tinker Street opened a cafe in the Market Square building and Command Coffee took over the Monument Circle shop.

The vibe: Pretty unchanged, other than a rather unfortunate furniture swap. Does anyone like sitting in those metal industrial chic chairs?

• Java House also added the "COLD BREW" light-up letters you'll know from other locations.

The bottom line: While Starbucks still has a presence downtown, local shops seem more than willing to fill the void created by the chain's shrinking footprint.
