Modoc’s Market

Fun quaint place to grab a cup of coffee, snacks, or light food. Relaxing and neat atmosphere. The perfect place to go for wifi in Wabash

As a kid, we would go down to Modoc’s after school almost everyday. It brings back a lot of good memories. The owners are great people. A go to place if you are ever in Wabash.

Cool coffee place with sweet treats and an interesting heritage and story about the elephant who went crazy. Kids will love playing with all the elephants around the building. I’m not a coffee fan, but I liked all the dessert options, and also some of the nice coffee cups and decanters that make great presents. It is extremely spacious, and would be a great place to study.

Disappointed. Poor customer service. Went in to grab a sweet treat after dinner and we weren’t even acknowledged by the staff. The 2 ladies behind the counter did not even make eye contact with us while we waited to order (we were the only ones in line), they just carried on their conversation. Left a sour taste in our mouths so we walked out. We will not return.

My favorite coffee shop hands down. I come here religiously whenever I’m in town. I stopped in a few times this past weekend while passing through Wabash and realized that I hadn’t reviewed Modoc’s yet.
I’ll start by saying they take great pride in serving great coffee. Things don’t move quickly but that’s because they’re focused on quality and the experience. This isn’t your everyday Starbucks. It’s your local hang out spot. It’s the place that you makes you feel at home even when you’re far away from home.
They have a wide variety of coffee drinks and smoothies as well as any type of milk that your looking for (soy, almond, 2%, skim, coconut etc). And have an extensive list of flavors to add in. They have also recently undergone a remodel which made the place even more charming while keeping nods to the past.
You must stop in if you’re even close to Wabash!

Expensive but worth it. They open so late most people can’t visit before work so they are missing out on a lot of opportunity. If you want to save about 20 minutes of waiting you can call ahead and they will make your drinks and have them ready for you. Also, get friendly with the staff and most of them will double punch your drink card so you can get free drinks more often.

Modoc’s market has given me a place to go in Wabash. The coffee is pretty great! They have a featured brew daily and bring your own cup for a $.50 fill! Their espresso beverages are not extraordinary, but they are not bad at all.
The atmosphere is great for meetings or homework! This is a great spot to go Wabash!

It may very well have helped that I arrived in Modoc’s during a recent fundraising wheelchair tour of Northern Indiana with my road support for the day and, oh yeah, I was escorted by Wabash’s Mayor VanLandingham, a hospitable and welcoming mayor who also provided a pretty remarkable response to a wheelchair issue I was having at the time I wheeled into the city of Wabash.
Modoc’s Market is a small convenience market that serves up some amazing and affordable coffee along with just about everything else you’d expect from an indie coffee shop. Wabash is one of those cities that is bigger than it seems, but it’s also small enough to retain that smalltown charm and to largely avoid the web of mega-​coffee chains like Starbucks. It’s a place where a good olé’ fashioned coffee shop can survive and thrive.
I was amazed to get a large coffee for a mere $ 1.00. I mean, seriously. You can barely make your own coffee in a Keurig for that price. Plus, it was darn fine coffee.
While located in an older building, Modoc’s was surprisingly wheelchair friendly and had a simple yet charming sitting area where you could enjoy your coffee.
What else can I say? Great coffee. Friendly staff. Comfy areas to relax. Free WiFi. Who needs Starbucks? Go to Modoc’s.

Creative and original drinks and baked goods. It all tastes great. Clean and well kept store. A great place to go in Wabash.

Modoc’s was not quite what I expected based on the other reviews, so I feel it may be helpful to point out that as of June 2012, this place seemed to be less a «general» or «small grocery» store and more a snack shop with a coffee bar and roaster. There was lots of candy of the sort that my mother gets all jazzed about (valomilk, blackjack gum), chips, and a cooler of pop. Also a small menu of coffee drinks and a decent selection of locally roasted whole bean coffee.
If I’d been from the area, I might have been less disappointed. I stopped there in the middle of my hour commute because based on its website and the other Unilocal reviews, I was under the impression I could pick up a couple groceries and grab a coffee. I didn’t want button candy, so I settled for coffee. However, as it was 90 degrees, I went for the bean option. Maybe there is usually a different selection, or maybe I missed something.
At any rate, the coffee was quite delicious, and the service was friendly. Also, the décor of the sitting room was super cute. I will probably go back. But next time I will be sure to eat something first.

Starbucks killed the community coffee house, thank god Wabash is small enough to stay off the evil empire’s radar!
Big comfy leather couches, free WiFi and a quality espresso shot pulled correctly.
Modoc’s is THE place to meet in Wabash, even an elephant can remember that.

I love Modoc’s. Cute coffee shop and general store that is contributing to Wabash’s economy. Hope more shops like this open up.
P. S. It’s a great place to set up your laptop and get some work done while sipping coffee.

Incredible coffee and friendly service. Large regular coffee for $ 1…how does it get any better than that! Also sells soups, groceries, and sandwiches. Great place to visit.

Free WiFi in downtown Wabash… what else do you need to know? Saved my life when I would visit my family from college.

Modoc’s Market is a great place to visit in downtown Wabash. It’s a small convenience store with groceries (the only real option in the downtown area) and a café that serves some really nice coffee.
I think my favorite part about Modoc’s is that it gives a sense of community that Wabash has missed for a while (especially without the Sweet Shop).
