    Such a gem! One of my favorite places. This coffee shop is super quaint, with a handful of seats, perfect 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!

    Purple Haze Latte

    Loved popping in here again! It had been since I've been here. There is street parking and I got lucky with a spot not too far away. Still such a cute and cozy coffee shop. The barista was awesome. So friendly, personable, and quick. It never got too busy but even when there was a smaller rush, she handled it superbly. Loved her latte art too. I ordered a cappuccino to start but it was pretty hard to taste the espresso. It just wasn't very strong. I tried the purple haze latte afterwards and loved the ube taste! I think if you're an espresso fiend like me, maybe try a cortado? But for a nice latte they had some good options. Their pastries looked tasty too!

    Came in on a Sunday afternoon for a coffee and to read/chat a little with a friend. Pros - Downstairs seating is really cute and cozy! - Staff were very friendly and helpful, as it was our first time - Coffee came in a can they seal, after making your drink (great gimmick!) Cons - A bit pricy, similar to Starbucks, but far better quality

    I was in the area and had seen this coffee shop before and finally decided to check it out and it did not disappoint. I ordered an iced latte add lavender and vanilla bean and it was delicious. The baristas were friendly, fast, and overall great service. The coffee shop has games that you can play while drinking your coffee. I brought a friend with me and we had a great time drinking coffee and playing games. Great, fun, and cozy coffee shop. Also if you're looking to thrift there's a really good men's thrift shop just up the road called Newman & Co.

    Lavender latte

    I had meeting here and the setting is really nice on the inside and outside but parking is horrible. It seemed like it's a great place for meetings and for those that want to work outside the office. There was only 1 person working so she was slammed with customers. It took forever for my client to get her warm croissant she ordered before I even got there. The area is really cool but I think my experience wouldn't been better if there were more people working. The barista seemed to handle it well and she very apologetic but I felt bad for her. My didn't like my coffee and although she said she replace it I just kept it because I didn't want to wait forever for another one. The latte wasn't worth the price I paid for it. I think it was around $8 with the tip. It was lacking flavor and just bad. My client's order wasn't any better and we had to clean off our own table because the barista was taking orders. I asked her for a rag and we cleaned our own table before the meeting to assist her: Overall, it's really cute and inviting on the inside but they need proper staffing. Great to see people in the neighborhood working and meeting using WiFi. Love this area, we might try it again next time if we can find a parking spot.

    Cream Brulee late Ube latte
    Iris F.

    I was meeting a coworker for coffee and I chose Prufrock because I never been. I was a little hesitant because the reviews weren't as eye-catching on Yelp. I had a pretty cool experience. The dining area was so cute and cozy. They offered a few board and card games if you were gonna stay a while. The barista was very welcoming and did a wonderful job making our drinks. I ordered the crème brûlée latte with a cheese danish. My coworker ordered the Purple Haze Frost. (UBE) He said it was really good so I may try that next time. I had the barista warm my danish and it paired well with my latte. I wish it wasn't as pricey. I would've gotten another one. It was on busy College Avenue and with the bad snow storm we just had parking sucked. Other than that which is not their fault I say this was a successful stop.

    Purple Haze Frost
    Kyle S.

    Awesome spot to hang out and get some work done or just relax. Solid service and great menu. Albeit the traffic flow for ordering is a tad annoying. I've been like twice a week since the Purple Haze Frost came out. This little iced ube thing is amazing. Highly recommend.

    Iced Vanilla Latte and Blueberry muffin
    Lindy V.

    Cute and comfy! Had a delicious iced vanilla latte and great service to go with it. The blueberry muffin was light and tasty. First time in and I'll gladly come back. Oh and the cute container was extra fun.

    While I haven't been to this coffee shop in person, my friend has brought me coffee from here and it was great. I especially like that they (at least sometimes) put the iced coffee in little cans. Makes it fun.

    salted caramel hazelnut latte
    Kia T.

    Im so happy I popped into Prufrock! I am new to coffees and latte's and the staff was patient and kind as I was ordering. The place is super cute and eclectic and the latte flavor was just what i was looking for!

    Fun vibe!
    Andrea Y.

    Casual, kind, comfortable place to enjoy a tasty cup of coffee, tea, or specialty drinks. The tasty morsels in the case looked fantastic- sandwiches and cakes. It was very difficult to pass the turkey sandwich on croissant and chocolate cake. They totally looked worth the calories. Very comfortable working/visiting space and outdoor seating, too! I'll be back.

    Pistachio croissant and purple haze frost
    Diana M.

    I was excited to try the croissant with ice cream (in Carmel) and I also loved that the place is very cozy but in itself this cafeteria is too nice and everything is delicious.

    Cute new coffee shop! Love the vibe in there but it is a bit on the smaller side for gathering. I love that they have vanilla bean sugar free syrup option as I've never had that before! I wanted to try something from the spring menu so I went with the lavender latte. I've never had lavender before and asked the barista her thoughts. She said she doesn't love the lavender flavor/floral taste but mixing it with the vanilla bean to give it a bit more sweetness would help. In a good way it actually tasted a bit like fruity pebbles! I think it may be better cold than hot but overall I enjoyed it! Very quick service and they had some pastries and breakfast sandwiches that looked appetizing as well! In general a broadripple issue not just necessarily Prufrock, but parking is pretty limited.

There are tables or comfy seating if you want to kick back. There were several people sipping coffee and working in the small work space. Free WiFi is available.

It wasn't even fresh out of the oven, and it still melted in my mouth. Light, soft, perfectly glazed... I knew right then I was in trouble. I ended up buying a box with blueberry cake, applesauce cake, cinnamon sugar, Bavarian cream, glazed yeast, and a few others.

The pastries I bought are really temperature sensitive and need to be kept cold. Both had a cream - mousse inside. They wouldn't last long only a day or to the next. I loved the pecan item I ordered. It was great! The tiramisu one I wouldn't order again. The bottom flakey part was so bitter. I love coffee and expresso and tiramisu. But, the whole thing just wasn't what I thought it would taste like. Now I know. :-( Creamy, sweet, smooth, with a kick of coffee all come together to make a great tiramisu.
