    Love to see this space reactivated after the former bar closed. It's cute and cozy, but more importantly it's a great social enterprise affiliated with neighboring institution, the Damien Center. They offer different beverages and light meal/snack items. I was a smidge underwhelmed by the quality of my latte, but glad to try out some other things on a future visit.

    I will admit that road construction has somewhat limited my presence here, though I'm hoping with the Damien Center open that will improve.

I got to explore a bit and was able to read posted history of the architectural influences that many people had on the city. And well as admire art from local artist on their second floor landing. Their coffee was some of the best I've had. I opted for the Butterscotch Latte and it was perfect for the cold morning stroll we embarked on. It has smooth, creamy, with notes of butter and earthy cardamom. I'm visiting from out of town but I would not hesitate grabbing another coffee before leaving town. Highly recommended.

The aesthetic is there. I want to be here. But at your price point, the experience needs to match the atmosphere, and lately there have been a few things quietly chipping away at that. First -- the syrup situation. I shouldn't have to order a specific menu latte just to get a flavored drink. A little flexibility goes a long way in making a customer feel like a guest and not just a transaction. Let me build my drink a little. I'll spend more, I promise. And the pastries, baby. I ordered a croissant and watched it get placed in a bag with a thin sheet of paper like it didn't deserve better. By the time I got home, it had made up its mind to be a different pastry entirely. I know there's a microwave back there -- I've seen it working for the breakfast sandwiches. A warm croissant is a small thing that changes everything. I'm not going anywhere. But I need you to know I notice these things -- because I care about what this place could be. Still yours (for now), A regular.

I find…read moremyself making excuses to run errands on Washington Street just so I have an excuse to stop at Good Vibes! I know Good Vibes Cafe is known for their boba tea and "croffles," so of course I had to try one of each on my first visit! I love all the punny names of the boba drinks, mine was called "Pinky Swear," and another cute one is "Peach, Don't Kill My Vibe!" The Pinky Swear has a strawberry tea base with peach popping boba, and it's exactly what I order when I get boba at Harmony or Kung Fu Tea, so I knew I was going to like it! The "croffle" (a croissant in the waffle iron) is out-of-this-world delicious! It was the perfect balance of flaky and fluffy, and the Biscoff drizzle and fresh whipped cream made it even better. Now this is definitely not something that you can eat every day, but is a great occasional indulgence. On my most recent visit, I mixed it up and tried a coffee drink this time! I got the Biscoff latte, and it was literally perfect. The cup was lined with Biscoff cookie butter, and the rich espresso balanced out the sweetness and made it impossible to stop drinking. The only thing that would make this latte better would be if it came in a bigger size! One of my favorite things about Good Vibes is the half and half cup, where you can pick a drink for each side of the cup! It's a great way to enjoy everything Good Vibes had to offer without being forced to make a decision between two equally delicious drinks, plus it costs the same as a large drink! What's not to love? I definitely recommend Good Vibes Cafe, and don't be surprised if you see me there when you stop by!

It is a bit challenging to find parking but there are a few spots in front. I parked down the street and walked which is always an option. There are a few stairs to get in but also a ramp, and the set up has a nice aisle like space for the line and plenty of tables and chairs. It can be quite loud so keep that in mind if you want a quieter reflection time, and maybe take it to go or sit outside. They have various food items but I absolutely LOVE their peanut butter energy balls! In fact that is why I came to this location as this is where the magic happens. They make them here and send them to other Tinker locations! They are the perfect blend of savory and a tad sweet and go super well with their coffee and/or London Fog tea. Yum! I will freely admit to buying all they had on hand, and now can enjoy them at home. Yay! It is a very busy spot so not the friendliest of staff, but assumed they were already hassled from the morning. It was a great spot to meet a friend and enjoy the patio and some tea/coffee. I would for sure go back and even bring a friend! In fact I've already mentioned it to several people as a potential meet up spot! Definitely something to enjoy!

The vibe here is very warm, with a colorful interior and a basement area that offers additional tables and quieter spots to work. I love that they make all of their syrups in house. Right now, their seasonal matcha flavors are blueberry, strawberry, mango, and ube. I got the blueberry iced matcha and thought about it the rest of the week...SO good. Big plus was that the blueberry wasn't overpowering - it was perfectly balanced with the matcha.

I also ordered a lemon mint refresher, but they were out of mint so it would just be a lemonade. That was fine and I appreciated how she handled the situation and that she knew what Prufrock did and did not have in stock! She was great at communicating when I walked in that she needed a few minutes and then would be able to help me too. Another time I went with my parents on a late morning Saturday. My mom and I both loved our drinks, but we knew what to order. There were multiple people working behind the counter, but the barista taking orders was not friendly or very helpful on this particular day. My dad did not know what to order and asked what tea is refreshing and is one that the barista would recommend. The barista said that the green tea is really popular, but did not ask whether he wanted it hot or iced or give a recommendation for that. The tea came out hot on a hot day where we planning to walk the Monon and check out other local businesses. To be fair, I did ask him if he wanted me to ask for the drink to be remade or to get him a new one as I had overheard his order and also assumed it would be coming out iced. He said it was fine (but then complained on our walk). This was a bit disappointing. There have been times I have walked out after a few minutes of no acknowledgement from baristas here. It is not a cafe that I would want to sit in and work in as a lot of the space does not look workable. The last time I did come in with papers I planned to read in between appointments, I did not want to put my bag on the floor or my papers on a table because both were dirty. The book page wall has seen better days and would benefit from a revamp. I love the outdoor area though and the can tops are really cool. There is a lot of potential here, but when staff appears like they do not want to be there it makes customers not want to be there either. I would also urge the owners to be more receptive to criticism. The TikTok videos about Prufrock did not influence my review, but it did encourage me to leave my own review based on my own experiences.

For starters, I love the concept of alcohol after 5 and no laptops after 7. I do wish there was a couple more food options but I can see the pros and cons of having a lot of food on the menu from efficiency to people staying too long. The chicken salad sandwich is so simple yet so good! Only downside is they run out of it so quick! My favorite is a cappuccino but i have tried a few different drinks from their unique menu and everything has been good! The ambiance is upbeat as everyone is busy working and there is house music playing along with current hits. People are doing everything from reading to interviewing people here. On thursdays they have jazz and i can't wait to attend soon! Go here quite often to meet friends and do homework. The parking lot is only a few spots so heads up on that. Will be back! 10/10

We came around 6:30 to get a table because the place fills up fast! Jazz music starts at 8pm on Thursdays and by 8 pretty much all tables were taken. On Thursdays they also have 1/2 off bottles so we decided to get a Prosecco to share. We ended up getting two ! They have a small evening menu ranging from charcuterie boards, olives, crab cakes and flatbread. I got the prosciutto, arugula and fig jam flat bread and omgggg it was DELICIOUS!!! The sweetness of the fig jam and the saltiness of the prosciutto is a match made in heaven! One thing I will say is the music is very loud for how small the place is and it was hard to hear but other than that, I will definitely be back. They are also a coffee shop in the morning and a cute spot to work remotely for a day and I'm going to plan to do that! I want to try their coffee !
