Zen Cafe

Indiana


Part of a formerly abandoned warehouse space converted into a multi-use creative exhibition space and start-up incubator known as Lang Lab, Zen Cafe slings espresso (from $2.50) from its La Marzocco machine to an arsenal of bohemians burning the candles at both ends.

It's the best coffee in town and the space – full of mismatched vintage furniture in various states of disrepair – is a painfully hip spot to sip and socialize. And there's Ms. Pac-Man.
