Such a gem! One of my favorite places. This coffee shop is super quaint, with a handful of seats,…read moreperfect for getting comfy and working remotely, or just hangout with friends and sipping a latte. 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. There's also a nice patio with picnic tables where you can sit and enjoy the lively SoBro neighborhood!

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.

I love Tinker Coffee and this spot is no exception to their overall brand. 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!

The long-time standard among Indy coffee shops, this is the best I know in town for working or…read morehaving meetings. The space is roomy and well-set up, with two- and four-top tables, a padded banquet against one wall, and a large library table you can spread out at (if you can get it). Sound levels are good (the music isn't great, sometimes repetitive and predictable jazz or 70s hits, but it's at the right setting of audible but not distracting). Outside tables get a shifting mix of sun and shade as they day passes. So, yes, it's the best coffee shop for work. Unfortunately it is not the best coffee shop for anything else. The coffee is generally fair; espresso drinks are inconsistent and never get the creamy richness a good cappuccino or latte ought to have. They use a variety of good beans that the company roasts at their 52nd street plant, but for straight-ahead drip coffee they brew it overly strong, on the Starbucks model. And the vibe is impersonal; no one has ever described it as "fun," I'd wager. I've been there twice a week for probably ten years, and among the current staff, no one has ever asked my name or obviously acknowledged recognizing me. There was a lot of staff turnover a few years ago, and the current staff -- maybe I'm projecting here -- but they seem kind of downtrodden. It's a busy place, hard work, and I get the impression that ownership/upper management doesn't do much to make the staff's lives livable.

Best way to start your morning is knowing you have an order of sweets to pick up. Forgot to take a pic of what I received. Variety of donuts and one chocolate croissant. They were a hit! I should've warmed mine up for a few seconds but it was still soft either way. Walked in about 7:20 and I assume the workers have to be there early to set up, but a smile or a good morning really does go a long way in customer service. It was quiet and a customer was leaving as I walked in. It seemed calm and inviting but felt like I was bothering the worker by walking in. Either way the donuts were good and they have a variety of more options on their menu that I would love to try sometime in the future.

My oldest tried the Blushing Mocha- a love day special. I tried the traditional Turkish coffee and my youngest got drip coffee with ample cream and sugar. All three of us loved our drinks. Turkish coffee was truly amazing. I love my creamer and sugar so I was really surprised at how much i enjoyed this. The drip coffee was amazing as well. Really good. We also splurged and got the honey cake and the orange cake. Honey cake is a must try. The orange cake was a bit dry. Would be great moist. We really enjoyed the card making area.
