The Brownie Batter Iced Latte absolutely hit the spot after a long morning before dealing with travel plans. Like most airport spots, it was a bit pricey--about $10 for a large iced latte--but I was honestly just grateful it was there and didn't think twice about it. The line was pretty long, but the service was friendly and impressively fast, keeping things moving smoothly. So happy Tinker has a spot at the Indianapolis Airport--thanks for keeping travelers caffeinated! read more

1/22/26- Ordered two lattes extra hot and thought of getting a bag of beans.. Prices decent for the airport... Very smooth and perfectly extra hot! Definitely will get a bag next time! read more

Exorbitant prices! It would have been over $10 for a flavored latte with oat milk. I ordered a SAUSAGE, egg, & cheese bagel--apparently they rang me up wrong (for just an egg & cheese bagel). After waiting for a sandwich that never came, they acted as if it was the end of the world to give me what I ordered. I had to go through a whole refund and re-ring process for the ~$2 difference when it was their mistake--not annoyed by the cost difference on this, but rather the sheer inconvenience, especially in an airport setting when time is of the essence. 3-stars for the breakfast sandwich actually being of decent quality and tasting good. Will do Starbucks for coffee instead. read more

I always have to check off trying a local coffee shop on my list when traveling. A friend recommended Tinker Coffee and since I didn't have time to explore the downtown locations, I knew I had to try to get to the one at the airport. Thankfully, it was in our terminal near our gate! The staff was pleasant and fairly helpful. I appreciate that Tinker offers vegetarian/vegan options. I ordered an almond milk latte as well as an egg, cheese, and plant-based sausage bagel. As busy as they were, the staff was pretty efficient and my order was ready within minutes. Both items were enjoyable. There's ample seating around the cafe. My husband and I ate our food and got some work done there while waiting to board. Not a bad spot! read more

The Indy airport is such a wonderful airport. I didn't do the Starbucks route as I decided Tinker would be a less sugary taste and love their coffee anyways. The barista was so kind and gave some recommendations. They only had 2 fall drink options; pumpkin spice and a cold brew. The white mocha didn't disappoint and tastes like local coffee, it is delicious! read more

Tinker Coffee - Dubai chocolate latte and lemon muffin - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I went to Tinker Coffee again flying out of IND. This time they had two baristas and the speed of service was much more reasonable. The two baristas were both pleasant, but I had actually been about to go to the table service cafe on the other side but was put off by the grumpy hostess and decided to just go to the coffee counter rather than deal with that. Same experience with the food - so-so muffin but really good coffee. I had a chocolate cheesecake muffin (I thought there was not enough cream cheese for the size of the muffin) and a lavender haze latte. If I'm at IND in the morning again, I think I'll try one of the table service restaurants in search of better food, but this does seem like a solid spot for beverages. read more

The Starbucks at IND is always bonkers and the secret is that Tinker usually has a much shorter line and is WAY better. As a fan of huge drip coffees, this hits the spot, but the real all-star was this absurdly flavorful and fluffy pistachio muffin! I've also had amazing flavored coffees from other Tinker locations. Even if you are in the other terminal, this is an easy walk and well worth it! read more

Tinker Coffee - Pistachio muffin - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Tinker Coffee is my favorite part of traveling through IND. If I recall correctly, there's two locations, with one in each concourse. I like to visit the location that includes the full meal service café. At this location, there's sit down tables as well as bar counters with sports TVs. This is a nice option if you have a longer time to wait in the airport. However, they also have a walk up counter for takeout service for on-the-go needs. First, I got a lavender London fog from the coffee service at the front. It had the Eras tour specific naming of this drink as The Cardigan. I love how they usually have a themed seasonal menu available! I'd also recommend the five spice latte on their regular menu. I then walked around to the side of the location the cafe service walk up counter and ordered the loaded fries. They are quite generous with the portion size and topping. Although it's not cheap (around $15, but the airport premium is expected), I think it's much greater in value compared to other airport restaurants I've been to. I also recommend their bacon and scrambled eggs with hash browns if you're there for an early morning flight. Sadly no pictures because the airport is usually a rush experience for me. But please know that Tinker is always on my IND departure checklist! read more

I am so glad this coffee shop opens early in the morning. Tried their latte and it was delicious. The service was quick and friendly read more

On my way to a wedding in Florida and needed a fuel stop. Pulled into B concourse and found Tinker Coffee and they took really good care of me. The service was great and the barista's were very friendly. They had seating in a place for you to rest for a while if you needed however I was close to my gate so I just moseyed down the concourse. I would recommend Tinker Coffee for a great cup of coffee and I understand they also have tea. read more

Fast courtest service. $6 and change for a large black coffee. The coffee was extra hot. After 20 minutes, it is still steaming. Thank you for the great pick-me-up this morning. read more

Stopped by Tinker Coffee after a long red-eye flight since it was conveniently located right outside my gate. The line moved slower than I expected, especially for an airport location where speed really matters. Restrooms are just around the corner, which is a nice plus when you're stuck waiting. The coffee itself was decent, nothing particularly memorable. The wait time definitely has room for improvement. Overall, it's an okay spot if you're not in a rush, but not a place I'd go out of my way for. Efficient: No First-Time Friendliness: No Would I Return: No JY review read more

Good service, not too pricey for airport. Just had a coffee with cream. It was just ok, nothing special.

I was going to my gate for my flight to Chicago and decided to stop by Tinker Coffee for a Latte. I looked at the specials on the board, and the iced strawberry matcha caught my attention. I went up to the counter and was greeted with a big smile from the baristas. One of them asked me if I wanted a free bagel egg sandwich with bacon due to a mishap from a previous order, and of course, I said yes. I ordered the iced strawberry matcha latte, and she literally lit up with enthusiasm stating how excellent it is and how they did samples of the iced strawberry matcha yesterday, and people loved it and wanted to try more samples. I placed my order and she was very pleasant and professional. When I received the iced strawberry matcha and took my first sip, I fell in love with the beverage. It was simply the best latte I have ever had in quite a while. The bagel egg sandwich with bacon was good, but did not blow me away with excitement. I'm glad it was free that day, because I would not order the sandwich again. The ambiance is very nice for an airport location with seating available and space to work on your laptop or iPad. It is very attractive looking with nice decor. I did enjoy my beverage very much, and would definitely come back to Tinker Coffee for a latte the next time I fly out of Indianapolis airport. I would hope the iced strawberry matcha is back on the menu because it is phenomenal! You have to try it! read more

Tinker Coffee - Iced 5-spice latte with skim milk - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Tinker coffee is a local Indy favorite for those unfamiliar. The location at the entrance of concourse B is a perfect easy one stop shop for a quick bite and coffee for that morning flight. I'm a fan of their 5 spice latte. It's expresso, milk, and some kind of spice blend which I would liken to a chai type taste but not?! Today I had the Turkey, egg and cheese sandwich. It's a steamed (microwaved) bagel with Turkey deli meat, American cheese and an egg patty. Nothing outstanding but a great source of fuel that should keep satisfied until mid afternoon. Post pandemic, I really appreciate consistency in product and kind/attentive employees. Tinker street checks all my boxes. read more

The coffee is good but an $8 cold brew with $2 extra for non-dairy milk is a crime against god and man.

Great, quick and efficient service. Place is overpriced but nothing new with airport prices. Got a medium iced Americano and a Dasani water for $12.00. Aside from that, always happy to support a local shop. Fast paced environment with adequate lighting. Definitely a place to stop by when close to gate A read more

We saw reviews saying Tinker was a little expensive but it isn't anymore than Starbucks. With that we were happy to choose LOCAL! And we're so glad we did because it's WAY better. It's clear this company cares about a good roast and a good cup. The menu is easy to read and there's no confusing language. The baristas are very kind, laid back, and happy to be there. Tinker will now be my go-to place for coffee every time I'm in the Indy Airport! read more

It does the trick? I wish I had more to say but legit, it really does. Staff is friendly and hipster enough to keep me coming back for me. I've only had Americanos and drip coffee ($4 a pop, oof!) but it's good in a pinch and added bonus for opening at 430am! read more

In airport, it was open when we checked in at 5 am. Very good coffee with a lovely crema! I am glad I got a medium americano. They were busy but the barista took the time to ask me exactly how much room I wanted. Awesome !! It was a bit pricey even for the airport but I am so so glad I did not walk down to Starbucks. It was well worth the $5 for a 16 oz drink. read more

Quite possibly the best coffee stop I've visited in any airport. From now-on, if there is a Tinker Coffee in the terminal it will be my go-to. Far superior to Starbucks and just what I needed for my early morning flight out of IND. The Americano was spot-on with just enough room for half-and-half ( often that requests goes sideways at the other place ). The egg and cheese Everything bagel ( with bacon ) I ordered was fantastic! Perfectly toasted and hot, nicely wrapped for the trek to my seat to await the flight. Very tasty and highly recommended. All in all a pleasant experience. Service was friendly and quick. Skip S-Bucks and do yourself a favor - Tinker Coffee is the way to go. read more

I've been wanting to try this coffee but didn't have the chance to do so until recently when I was flying out of the b concourse.

I need to go back to check out more delicious coffee and what looks like good food! read more

Tinker Coffee - Nitro cold brew - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

It's always nice to have a local shop in an airport. I think it used to be something different, but now it's a Tinker. They tinkered with the name and the space, I guess. They should tinker a bit with the placement of the menu though as you have to kinda be right up in it's business to read it. The coffee was good and it did the trick for the plane ride home (for alertness, not the other effect). The line wasn't too long when I was there, but I'm guessing it can be during peak morning hours. Staff was friendly and the drink was delivered promptly. If I'm flying through IND again, I'll probably stop in here for some coffee. Unless they tinker with the space again. read more

I asked for an iced chai with two shots of espresso and vanilla- instead when I watched them make it it was premade mix, no espresso added, it tastes like sugar water, and it was a whopping $9.97.

Hands down the best cup of coffee I've had at an airport! Latte was perfect! Good milk foam and even a decent little heart . I got the five spice latte which had just enough flavor and spice to make it interesting without being overpowering. Food was ok, avocado toast was toasty but nothing really else going on. Better beer menu than I've seen a lot of places during my trip. So stick to the drinks and get that cup of coffee!!! read more
