We are dedicated to serving Indianapolis with an environment catered to long hours studying, chatting with a friend, or just taking it easy. The guys over at Indianapolis Coffee Guide have described our coffee program as “incredible” and we pride ourselves on crafting a good cup of coffee. We also have diverse selection of teas and delightful pastries. And that’s not all. We have put countless hours into our carefully curated selections of used & new books. We value the art of browsing in the midst of prescribed selections and algorithmic decisions. We love to encounter the new and unexpected. We hope to see you soon!

local coffee & tea
We’ve partnered up with Tinker Coffee and Shuv Coffee to bring you the very best in the local coffee scene. We value single origins and creating specialty lattes with in-house syrup. We serve Nowhere Chai, a delicious concoction from an Indiana staple. We also provide a tea from from Color Theory Tea Co. Check out our menu here.
The ability to enter a room and discover something new is an oddly diminishing quality. At Dream Palace, we are concerned with selecting texts aimed at expansion. We choose books aimed at radical thought, exuberant absurdity, postmodern epics, feminist diatribes, experimental trans texts, poetic frivolity, and so much more. Come by to discover something new!
