"Awkward to sit down and then realize the only available Wi-Fi is for Ivy Tech students, a bit weird for a small chain to setup shop but not offer public connections, but I made do with a tasty latte. Again odd they offer no discount for my own glass, weird to aim for college students who famously have no income but plenty of water bottles often on them at all times. No rewards program either, I'm a bit stumped after the other fantastic Fluid locations I've been to the chance they have here to make some lifelong customers is limited. The coffee and service is solid, comfortable quiet atmosphere, and well that menu is missing the seasonal drinks."

"I love having a coffee shop in the college! Especially FLUID! Coffee is great, tea is great, food is great! The pictured drink is an oolong tea with strawberry. It was delicious!"
