Community Living Room

Coming Soon to

Fletcher Place

Lille Bønne is located in a historic Danish Church in Fletcher Place on the southeast edge of Downtown Indy.

We’ll serve coffee and food, but we’re not a cafe. We’ll serve drinks, but we’re not a bar. We’ll offer yoga classes, but we’re not a yoga studio. We also plan on hosting movie nights, game nights, art workshops, events, and all kinds of other fun activities.

So what are we?

We are a community living room: a relaxed place for real-life connection. If you’re interested or even a little curious about what that looks like, take a look at what we have planned and consider becoming an honorary founder through our crowdfunding campaign.

Help Bring Lille Bønne to Life

Welcome Home

Lille Bønne was dreamed up out of a desire to live a more connected life, build an interdependent community, and create a shared space that feels like home.

We hope you’ll join us.

Come here to eat, drink, make, move, learn, and live a more connected life.

Lille Bønne lives inside a historic Danish church in Fletcher Place, once a gathering place for immigrant families and neighbors. With its vaulted ceilings and stained glass intact, the building’s legacy of hospitality continues—now reimagined as a warm café and community hub where food, art, and conversation bring people together.
