I like the nice open space for seating, which had some half booth seats along the wall, some regular tables, some benches or single chairs, and some slightly partitioned areas with tables. I think with this, just about all the desired seating options are covered. Ordering at the counter is done for service whether it is sit-down or to-go. I had to take mine to-go at my visit. I got my partner an iced mocha and blueberry muffin, and he said he really liked both. I got a graham slam latte, which had all the s'mores flavors topped with cold foam, graham cracker crumbs, and chocolate drizzle. Yum! It was a very rich drink but very worthwhile. I also got a Dubai chocolate cake, which is very decadent. I'm sure I'll be back again!

The beef and the potato one. Decent. Really great place to check out in Indy.

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!

Idk maybe the cashier was giving me the option to leave quickly if needs be (if that's the case, good looking out lol) the flavor of the coffee gave off - it was sitting in one of those carafes as it was already pre-made, which isn't the case because watched it be made. I think the coffee beans/grounds they use are very weak in flavor! I did order a blt + turkey sandwich which I was unable to get a photo of because I was starving lol it was a 5/5 though.

After tip, my ginger latte cost $10 and was served in a to go cup despite saying we were sticking around. It seemed like this was the case for many others in the shop as well. Something about a $10 latte in a to go cup loses its charm and the overall communal vibe of sticking around. It's such a great location and the drinks are fabulous. I'm a big believer that the staff are key to the coffee shop experience and why I spend on going out vs making my own at home. I'm hopeful that the warmth can return here

This is a nice minority owned small business that serves coffee and pastries. The owner was running things while I was there and he was very friendly and helpful. The shop is kind of retro and has a small dining area that you can enjoy your purchases it. I will admit, the pastries did not look too appealing to me. They looked like they had been there a while. They have a small coffee menu that is direct and to the point. My friend order a coffee Americano and I asked the barista for something sweet and tasty. He suggested a Somali tea. It did not take long for us to get our drinks. My friend said his was good. Much better than the chain coffee shop that starts with S. Mine was good too. It was piping hot. I had to let it cool down a bit, before I could fully enjoy it. This shop has some very reasonable prices. You can't beat them. It has great ownership and a cozy/quaint dining area. I recommend checking this place out if you are in the area.

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.

The aesthetic is there. I want to be here. But at your price point, the experience needs to match the atmosphere, and lately there have been a few things quietly chipping away at that. First -- the syrup situation. I shouldn't have to order a specific menu latte just to get a flavored drink. A little flexibility goes a long way in making a customer feel like a guest and not just a transaction. Let me build my drink a little. I'll spend more, I promise. And the pastries, baby. I ordered a croissant and watched it get placed in a bag with a thin sheet of paper like it didn't deserve better. By the time I got home, it had made up its mind to be a different pastry entirely. I know there's a microwave back there -- I've seen it working for the breakfast sandwiches. A warm croissant is a small thing that changes everything. I'm not going anywhere. But I need you to know I notice these things -- because I care about what this place could be. Still yours (for now), A regular.
