Bloomington, Indiana
Bloomington's bohemian community coffee shop since 1997 — poets, activists, all of it
Soma has been the bohemian heart of Bloomington since 1997, and it wears that reputation proudly. The Kirkwood Avenue original draws a mix that's been described as "anarchists and poets, all walks of life," which is about the most Bloomington sentence you'll ever read. Beyond the espresso and cold-pressed juices, it's a genuine community gathering space — the kind of coffee shop where you might end up in a two-hour conversation with a stranger about documentary film or mutual aid. Multiple locations across town now, but the Kirkwood spot remains the one with the most character.
