This is my favorite cafe in all of NWI! The ambience is so cute and cozy. I drive way out of my way sometimes just to soak up the atmosphere while I sip on a warm drink and journal or work. Their menu is full of delicious drinks and they have plenty of food options to satisfy at all times of day. Their staff is super sweet, and it’s always clean and well-kept. I wanna take all my friends & family here :) Highly recommend.

My family and I love Refuge! We’ve been going since they opened and have never been disappointed. We love their fresh baked goods, especially their breakfast bagels, as well as their coffee! I love that they use the nugget ice to allow for more coffee/milk highly recommend!

Refuge has become my favorite morning spot! The atmosphere is so cozy and the employees are anyways inviting. They make the BEST matcha latte I have ever had and the lemon blueberry scones are AMAZING! Highly recommend this little cafe to any local or visitor!

This was my first time there. My friend told me her daughter worked there so my husband and I decided to go and see how the place was. My husband had a breakfast sandwich and a latte. I had the roast beef on a plain bagel, the white chili chicken soup and a lemon aid with strawberry. Our food was very good. The bagels were the best I’ve ever had. Sooo fresh. I am so glad I finally went. Everything there is fresh daily. The restaurant itself was really cute. They even have a little vender type shop on the south wall where they sell earrings and other items. Really cute. The service was great.

I’ve been here a few times now and it never disappoints! I’ve liked everything I’ve tried so far. Today I tried the chicken sandwich on an everything bagel and an iced white chocolate mocha latte. I’ll be back!

As I no longer live in the area, I like to try a new coffee shop each time I return home. I had never heard of this place, but was in search of a good bagel sandwich, and Refuge did NOT disappoint. Both their drink and food menu was extensive with many options for gluten free folks! The house made syrups made for a delicious iced latte and the chipotle mayo on my breakfast sandwich was killer. To top it off, the cafe itself was adorable and the staff was super friendly and helpful. This is exactly what I look for and Refuge is definitely a new region favorite!

Truly the best bagels EVER. I got jalapeno cheddar with chive cream cheese and it was perfection. My salted caramel latte was also delicious and my children demolished their muffin. The service is always wonderful. Refuge is such a gem
