    Ube
    Luke W.

    Fun spot, friendly staff, good parking options, fast wifi, and nicely decorated main room, however my ube latte with almond milk was over eight bucks before tip. No hand crafted syrup, not balanced with quality espresso or rewarding any sip like a cup double the cost of Panera! I don't understand these Indy coffee shops tempting ten bucks for one drink. Blue Mind, Bovaconti, Gaia, Coat Check, Tinker, and others play in the pricy park because they offer house made ingredients and a sublime coffee craft. Profrock does neither sadly, no discount for my personal cup, nothing here that feels like high end java.

    My daughter had told me about this place so I decided to give it a try. It is a little difficult to find as the entrance seems to be in the back but once we found it we were fine. It is very nice and airy inside. I ordered at the counter and got a lavender vanilla latte. I found a table and they brought the drink over when they had finished making it. The place is small but it is very inviting. The ladies behind the counter were very nice and cheery. The drink itself was excellent but I thought it was a bit expensive for the size. Apparently if you order to go they put your drink in a can for you. My daughter raved about that- will have to try that next time I go there.

    I like the coffee (sweet chocolatey roast) / more on the milky side but you can taste the coffee decently well), very subtle aftertaste of ube Wanted to try their matcha but the pics look a little bit too light green for me Pretty relaxed atmosphere, barista welcomed you in

    I mean when a coffee looks this beautiful how can it taste anything but amazing! Love the to go cans they serve their drinks in but even more I love their coffee, it's such a smooth espresso with the best flavor. If there is a line, it's worth the wait and they are pretty quick at getting drinks out.

    My journey to find coffee I enjoy and try all the local coffee shops brought me to Prufrock's newest location in Carmel. Judging from the very long line out the door, this must be pretty great. Right?? The interior is cute; love the book wall (I am a librarian afterall)! Not a ton of seating and every spot was full plus the line to get in congested up the space, making it crowded when waiting for your order and trying to get out the door. I did not try the pastries, but the coffee? Very average. I had a vanilla honey latte that was served in a can. I really don't love when drinks come like that. I can't explain it but I think it always makes them taste off. My latte was basically flavored milk. Hardly any coffee taste and the syrup flavors were pretty weak too. I don't think, based on this experience, that I would return.

    I've been trying to find the place with the cool canned coffee for awhile - and finally found it! I'm always excited to try a new coffee place. It's small, so the line always looks crazy long. It was totally worth the wait though. I wish there was outdoor seating or a place for my dog and I to wait. We usually wait in the small grass area... that now has a trailer in it lol. That's the only downside I've found!

    Really cute coffee shop! Definitely was a little hard to find at first and parking was a struggle. I really liked their pastry offerings and the sausage breakfast sandwich I ordered was pretty good! I ordered a matcha latte and I thought it was just OK. Matcha didn't have much flavor. I gave it to my friend and ordered a Turkish coffee instead, which was good! I gave it four stars because the service was just not that great. The guy at the register was very new and didn't know the answers to my questions, which I understand. It was the people in the back making the drinks and bringing the drinks out that gave off a really prickly vibe. If you asked them for anything they just kind of stared at you like you were inconveniencing them. I still recommend checking out the shop! Hopefully other customers have a better experience with the service than I did. I also love their packaging!

    Turkey sandwich ube latte

    Honestly was so excited to try this place after seeing many influencers talking about it but I was underwhelmed. The turkey sandwich was really good but there was nothing special about it. The ube latte - I think called purple haze was not bad but I've had better. The service was great! The guy gave recommendations and talked with us about the different menu options, answering all of our questions. Unfortunately the place was also kind of dirty. From the bathrooms to the tables. I had to clean off my own table because there was no clean one.

    Seasonal latte; Purple Haze
    Molly Z.

    The way they can their to-go iced drinks is a game changer! It makes it easy to shake and mix everything together before popping it open to enjoy. I tried two seasonal drinks on my visit: the purple haze and lavender velvet. I love an Ube drink so the purple haze was my favorite but both were very good! I wish the espresso flavor was just a tiny bit stronger so I might opt for an extra shot next time. Service was friendly and my drinks came out quickly. I look forward to coming back next time I'm in the area. It's the perfect spot if you're walking the Monon and want to stop off for some caffeine!

    Prufrock had a very relaxing atmosphere with plenty of seating available. The staff is extremely kind and knowledgeable in everything they had. I loved the easy to-go plastic can for the matcha.

    Newest coffee shop in Carmel in a good convenient location. I was trying to keep my dogs outside and a sweet barista told me they are dog friendly! BONUS! I ordered a chocolaty gooey chocolate cake and americano both of which were a good combo! The cake was massive quantities which I think was a little much for 1 person. Either ways I was happy with my visit

    Nice new offer shop in Carmel. A bit of an odd location but worth the visit. The workers were friendly and the coffee was very good. I always like when the use actual mugs when staying in to enjoy your drink. A little small inside and the sun can cause some glare at times but still a good place for coffee. I didn't try any food but the pastries looked very good. Will be back.

    Very good Turkish coffee. Pastries are overpriced a little but also very good. Comfortable seating, a little loud and be prepared to wait for your breakfast sandwiches. Ours were still a little cold in the middle so these are the reasons for the 3 stars versus 4. We will be back when it's not so busy to try again! Cute vibe and fun for people watching.

    Great coffee. I look forward to trying their specialty drinks which others seem to enjoy. I had a little difficulty finding the place.

    5 stars. I entered…read morethis dive bar dressed to the 9's after attending a fundraiser for Prevail. I proceeded to have a seat at the bar as the patron to my left commented that I was grossly overdressed for this establishment. He wasn't wrong, but a girl needed some food! I ordered the smoked wings and a side of fries. I chose water to drink because I wasn't in the mood for anything else. BEST WINGS ANS FRIES!!! TWO THUMBS UP! The wings and fries are perfection. No sauce necessary. I tried the teriyaki but it wasn't to my liking and the wings don't require anything extra. They are perfection straight outta the kitchen as served on butcher paper. The fries are probably the best fries I have ever eaten. Seriously. I'm a fry connoisseur - I know my way around a fried potato! Best part: the price! They are priced appropriately. Portions size is great. Hearty wings, not lil wing dings. I only did 6 wings, but next time I'll do the full 12 and take some home. Better than Ale Emporium - argue with ya mamma, not me! I said what I said. Go Bears....Blackhawks...Bulls...Sky... it's a Chicago themed bar, so I'm sure you can find fans enjoying the games here. I'll be back! See you there!

    I've driven past the place many times and never stopped because the exterior is underwhelming…read more Boy, have I been missing out. I came here for the first time to watch a Purdue game with boiler buds. We got a high top that seats 8 and it's perfect for watching sports. The food is large, hearty, and excellent bar food. Be prepared to leave full and with leftovers.
