Dear reader,…read more Bovaconti Coffee in Fountain Square remains one of my favourite coffee shops, and we stop there whenever we come to town. It is the sort of place that feels special the moment you walk in. A lot of people rave about the beautiful space, and quite right too. The shop has a gorgeous, old-world feel in a historic Fountain Square building, plenty of seating, and a lovely outdoor area that is very dog friendly. The staff always boast a delightful disposition that makes you want to smile and enjoy the rest of your day as well. As for the coffee, I love the iced Mayan Mocha. It is like a mocha with a kick and extra flavour depth, and it is absolutely delicious. The dark chocolate, honey, cinnamon, and cayenne give it a little warmth and complexity without losing the joy of a proper iced coffee treat. They also have some really high-end pastries to choose from. I love the lemon loaf, and some of the more complex, unique pastries make it feel a bit more elevated than the average coffee stop. Overall, it is clean, beautiful, welcoming, and always worth the return visit.

The staff here is so awesome. Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! It's definitely one…read moreof my favorite spots to stop by when I'm in Fountain Square. There's plenty of natural light, but also several cozier, dark areas perfect for coworking. When the weather's nice, the patio is unbeatable - they offer ample patio seating as well as chairs along the sidewalk. I usually choose something from their seasonal menu, and recently I tried the iced blueberry brown sugar matcha and it was amazing. *Free parking directly outside the building on Woodlawn Ave

My friends both got the ginger lattes and I got a tiramisu latte. Flavor and balance was really good, service was pretty fast, plenty of seating, and beautiful interior/exterior. Many people were doing work or reading, there's artwork that you can peruse. Very cute for a coffee shop date or studying/working, All in an older building that still has a lot of life- that also gives life to the people that walk in and out.

There is space to work and many people were on laptops, but I grabbed my drink to go. You'll have to go up a set of stairs to get to the coffee shop, so be mindful of that. It's also kind of warm - they had a bunch of loud fans going. I don't know if that's just because it's summertime and the building is old and harder to cool or if they had water damage from all the rain and are drying out. It didn't bother me but noting that in case it does bother others.

Dear reader, Good…read moreVibes Cafe in Indianapolis was a thoroughly pleasant stop and quite easy to enjoy. It is right downtown in a cool location on the second floor of a building, with a restaurant below, which gives it a slightly tucked-away charm. Inside, there is tons of seating and space, so it feels relaxed and inviting rather than cramped. The staff was so nice, which always makes a coffee stop feel more welcoming. I really liked my iced mocha, and they also had a nice variety of other drinks and pastries on offer. Overall, a lovely little cafe and one I would happily visit again.

The drink was ten dollars with tax and tip which is a lot, but maybe for the downtown area the price is expected. There is ample seating and the employees are friendly.

I could definitely see it being a great spot for a date, studying, or just hanging out and socializing. I tried their sushi tacos and they were DIVINE! I also tried their strawberry and coconut drinks, and their ube latte without coffee, which was so good! Everything was delicious, and I'm definitely coming back for the sushi tacos again. Even my husband approved! The ladies in there so nice! Such a cute spot with great food and drinks. Highly recommend giving it a try!

I did have to wait about 10 minutes in line and another 30 for my food, but once I got my food I felt like it was worth it. I did the 3 for $25 which lets you mix and match any of the tacos. I tried the tempura crunch, spicy tuna avocado, and spicy salmon. The salmon was my favorite but they all were excellent. Everything was fresh and flavorful and the crunchy shell gives it a really satisfying texture. It's not crumbly and won't fall apart after one bite. I also added a peachberry lemonade which was the perfect mix of sweetness and tart, very strong peach flavor I'm glad it wasn't subtle. They also sell croffles which I would've loved to try ( I made the mistake of planning on ordering it to go AFTER I ate but the line was long again ) but I will definitely be coming back soon and I'll be trying one lol!

Today, I got the chance to stop by, and it was absolutely amazing. My order today, was the house made cold brew with peppermint (iced of course), it was very smooth and had a great flavor. This isn't something I usually get, but still very enthused with it. Unfortunately, parking is a little struggle. There is paid for street parking, or you can walk down from a nearby lot if you can find one. Walking in, you see an office building with other businesses, then you turn the corner into a lovely coffee shop ambiance. I love the fact, that it's almost like a coffee nook. Sometimes, there's a line that makes it hard to stand in there, but the staff is great and work at a good pace. Overall, I would totally recommend and look forward to coming back! :)

I love that they gave new life to this old historic building. It was so busy, and full of happy customers.

I love that they have…read moretaken an old building and re-purposed it but also calling it The Firehouse as a nod to its history. 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!

Small coffee shop in the Broad Ripple area with very limited seating. There is a tucked-away nook…read morethat comfortably seats about 4-5 people, making it a great little spot if you want a bit of privacy away from the customers ordering. Their menu includes pastries, coffee, lattes, matcha drinks, and their cute Matcha Fruities, which come in four different fruit flavors. I tried the ube flavor, and the packaging was so cute. While the drink looked great, the flavor itself was a bit lacking. It could have used a stronger ube taste. I would stop by again to try another flavor if I'm in the area.

Unfortunately the service is very hit or miss…read more The last time I went in which was in the late afternoon last Saturday, the barista was great! I ordered an iced latte with oat milk. 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.

Parlor has such a different vibe at night. If you're looking for a lowkey, cozy, and intimate…read moreatmosphere, Parlor is the place to be on Thursday nights. Every Thursday, they feature live Jazz AND half off bottles of wine. Plus, food until late. What more can you ask for? It's really the perfect setup. Music starts at 8pm, and I'd recommend arriving not too long after if you want a good seat. They usually have two sets (with the second starting around 9pm), and sometimes people who came for the first set will clear out around then, so you might find seats opening up if you arrive later. During the day, you order at the counter up front, but on jazz nights they have servers assigned to each table, which is a nice touch! These Jazz nights make for a great date night or a fun evening out with friends.
