Our Story

A Storm Was Overdue

For too long, great coffee meant a drive into Indianapolis.Tempest brings the Third Wave home to Brownsburg — coffee sourced like wine, brewed like chemistry, and served like it matters. No burnt batch brew. No syrup drowning the cup. Just the bean, handled honestly at every step from farm to filter.

We buy direct from independent growers, pay them properly, and roast in small batches so every origin tastes like the place it came from. By day we're your neighborhood coffee bar. When the sun drops, the lights come down, the espresso machine starts pulling shots for cocktails, and the room fills with live music.

One room, two tempers. That's the Tempest.

Farm-Sourced

Direct-trade relationships with independent growers in Ethiopia, Colombia, and Guatemala — traceable to the lot, fair to the farmer.

Precision-Brewed

Weighed, timed, and temperature-controlled. Pour-over, espresso, and the slow bar — every variable dialed in daily.

Tasted, Not Guessed

Every bag is cupped before it hits the bar. Tasting notes on every menu card, because your palate deserves a map.

A Place to Land

Open 6 AM to midnight. Study, meet, linger, or close the night out with a cocktail and a live set.
