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 don't have my grinder at the office so I had to patiently endure the wonderful aroma until I got home. My car ride was heavenly - that's how fresh and full of taste these beans are - the aroma filled my car from inside the coffee bag that was inside my work bag! Drinking this wonderful coffee is an experience if you love coffee - smooth and complex without bitterness. Definitely buying more after I finish this bag - which I'm sure will be soon!

A blend of bright Latin American coffees with a touch of fruit in the finish. Great as drip or any pourover! I NEVER would have thought I would have liked black coffee... but this one is SO SO SO Good! The Roaster I talked to at the event is so kind and fun and does just an amazing job roasting to make this coffee so good! This coffee can be purchased at Good EArth, Earth Fare, Market District, Green Bean Delivery, Goose the Market and more! GET YOUR DRINK ON!! YUM!

I tried the Ethiopian Shegitu. The blend's taste catches you off guard by hitting the back of your throat, is full bodied, and something to sip on and enjoy vs chugging to make it through your work day. The owner, Dudley was patient enough to chat with me over the many blends he has in stock and give me a highlight of the depth of knowledge he has about his beans, and the worldly coffees he offers.

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!

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.

There's no ambience here which is a bummer, could see myself sticking a nose into a book for hours eventually ordering another latte but not even a stool to sit.
