For example, they're currently selling a bottled spiced latte for carryout with the option of purchasing bottles on behalf of Indy's healthcare workers. They're also currently offering free shipping on orders over $25. Two weeks ago, I ordered beans for at home along with their individual coffee pouches to send my remote team. Hey all: great way to send some love to coworkers via snail mail (the pouches fit beautifully into traditional card envelopes). So impressed by how this biz is staying on their toes to respond to the situation. Big love to you all, Tinker Family!

I tend to like coffee that's well balanced, medium roast, and not too acidic, and they had a wide variety. It would be nice if you could buy just a cup of coffee, as I'm usually in the mood for a cup when I go to buy in bulk. Also, I wish they were more covid-conscious, as the woman working there didn't have her mask over her nose, and she kept getting too close and touching me. (Nothing inappropriate, but in the times of a global pandemic, I don't want strangers touching me.) I will definitely be back, but PLEASE be more conscious of the health situation!

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!

No one welcomes you when you come in. They've completely blocked off the coffee bar giving a get your coffee and get out vibes. The owner is... I don't know mad about something. I was there about a month ago and owner sat in the only comfy seating area left. I asked for the other seat and he said that's fine but I'm taking a call. Continued to loudly talk on Skype for 30 / 60 min, but if you've been in Helm you know there's no where you could have sat and not heard him. Today I was not welcomed in. Then that same manager and I think the other manager or head roaster were having maybe some dispute that required cussing at the coffee. Usually I would go to the manager owner before but when the issue is because of them. Unfortunate because it's close to our house but it just seems like they really don't like people in general.

I would most certainly come back and try some other options.
