COLUMBUS, Ind. – The popular Southeast Indiana Coffee Trail has relaunched with an expanded footprint and new locations, tourism officials announced this week. The regional Coffee Trail now includes 21 independently owned and operated coffee shops in seven counties throughout Southeast Indiana.
The Columbus Visitors Center announced that Columbus coffee shops – Gramz Bakery and Café, two Lucabe Coffee Co. locations, and two Sojourn Coffee Co. locations – are involved in the new regional partnership.
The challenge runs through December 2025, giving plenty of time for participants to complete the trail.
“We are happy to have five coffee shops in Columbus join the trail,” said Columbus Area Visitors Center Executive Director Misty Weisensteiner. “This is a fun way to showcase these great businesses, plus people get to sample the many different coffee types and specialty drinks found at each shop.”
After picking up a coffee trail rack card at a participating visitors center or coffee shop, caffeine lovers can have their card checked off at each location. After completing the trail, participants receive a Southeast Indiana Coffee Trail t-shirt. The first 100 participants will also receive an insulated travel mug and coupons/discounts redeemable at coffee spots along the trail.

- Dearborn County: Funny Farm Coffee Company, Sweet Beard Bake House, Simply Sweet Bakery/Coffee, ARS Café & Meeting House, Spire Book and Coffee Co.
