Worth a detour
Helm Coffee
Indianapolis · Garfield Park, United States
Why it’s on the route
Helm was founded by former professional rugby player Jillion Potter and roasts all its coffee on site in Garfield Park on a Stronghold S9X. It specialises in lightly roasted microlots sold in 100–200 gram bags, and its team includes 2025 US Brewers Cup Champion Justin Bull, whose pour-overs use a hybrid bloom-then-immersion technique. The bright roastery café keeps limited hours.
