    Hunnymilk latte
    Jazmyn P.

    They have some of the best pour overs and lattes in the city, and what keeps me coming back is the consistency. Good coffee every single time, great pastries, great music, and a staff that clearly cares about what they do. I also love that they create seasonal menus and allow staff to showcase coffees and host classes during Slow Bar days.

    One of the best coffee shops I've visited in the downtown area! Street parking is available. Cute inside area to sit. Have tried their breakfast sandwich and it was good just not sure it was worth it.

    Mocha with cookie and latte.

    This is one of the coolest coffee shops I've ever been to. The inside is very stylish and though they have limited seating it's worth waiting a moment to see if a spot will open. If you're on the go, they also have a program where you get a reusable mason jar that you can bring back for your next drink. The employees there were really kind and helpful. Everyone was attentive while also having a nice hangout vibe. Their coffee is incredible, with deeply rich flavors. I don't think most other coffee shops know or care how to get these kinds of flavors out of their coffee. I've had experimental or third-wave coffees before in different cities, but this was easily one of the best. They put a lot of emphasis on their beans, how they roast them, and how they ultimately create their artisanal coffee. It's quite the experience for a good price, and I'll definitely be back again.

    Amberson Coffee and Grocer was referred to me by a friend that frequents it. She said that they were a sustainable coffee shop where you can get your coffee to go in a glass jar and if you bring so many back you can get a discount. It's an old garage converted into a coffee shop and was smaller than I thought it was going to be. We got there when thankfully there wasn't a line but it got really busy after. It took about 20 minutes to get our coffee but we got our pastries right away. We tried the banana bread which was the best one and it was very moist. We also got the pistachio lemon and you could really taste the lemon but not the pistachio and then we got a cinnamon sugar roll of sorts that would have tasted better heated. For the coffee we got the date latte and midwestern latte and what was so good About this coffee is you could actually taste the flavor of the beans which is always a good coffee in my book. I would definitely come back here when I'm in town.

    My IT Director turned me onto this place. I thought I had hit every coffee shop that has been around more then 5 years in Indy but found this gem. They have a very unique spin on their to drinks...they are served in a glass jar that you bring back. The cappucino is smooth and has a great flavor. Nice litte shop with seating both inside and outside. They offer both coffee and tea options with pourovers available that are my next to try. Staff and service was great, can't wait to go back.

    We were visiting Indy for a few days and found ourselves back at Amberson most mornings! Great breakfast and such good coffee! The atmosphere was peaceful and the shop staff were very warm and inviting. If you're in the area, you've got to give it a try.

    My coffee after decanting it from their to-go jar into my mug. Didn't reach halfway. Maybe 3 ounces there. This cost $9.

    $24 to $54 for a cup of black coffee. Ambersons makes a good cup of coffee, let's get that out of the way. Their menu does state that black coffees are 'market priced,' and the prices themselves are marked ($8, $9, and $18 when I was there). What they do not tell you and which is not marked on the menu is that a 'cup' of black coffee there is actually only 3-4 ounces. At most--nearly all--coffee shops a 'small' is 12 ounces. So to get a typical cup of coffee at Ambersons, one will need to buy 3 cups of coffee. At $8-$18 a 'cup' that means you'll pay $24-$54(!) dollars for 12 ounces. Again, none of this is stated on the menu. They use reusable jars for their 'to go' cups, and charge you $1 for it. At first I thought it was a good idea, now I realize they do that to hide how much you are actually getting. If they used a typical coffee cup, customers would be upset that it was only 1/4-1/3 full.

    Found this spot from their instagram so we decided to check it out. Service was a bit slow when ordering, but you could tell they were all focused on ensuring the drinks were made well, so I had no problem waiting. There arent many tables inside/outside, so we got our drinks to go and they were served in the cutest to go containers. We got the date latte & the honey latte. Both were great, but I loved the date coffee!

    Antonia F.

    Went here on a Saturday and they were somewhat busy. When ordering, service was a bit slow but cordial. Inside was clean and pretty spacious. I sat outside and enjoyed he outdoors space. Both drinks and food were pretty slow to come out. The drinks were great, and the avocado toast was tasty as well. My husband didn't love the breakfast sandwich and said it was just ok, I liked it.

    Love the outside seating option

    I love that I stumbled upon this coffee shop. I had to find street parking since there is no parking lot, but it wasn't too far of a walk. The inside is quaint and cozy, the place is not large inside but definitely has an authentic vibe. The baristas name that I encountered was Beck, and he was very friendly. I alerted him that it was my first visit and he answered all my questions. I appreciate the great customer service. I learned that they are a specialty coffee place, their menu changes frequently, and they roast their own coffee. I really wanted to stay and soak up the atmosphere this place offered but my day was busy and I only had time to pop in, so I purchased my drink to go. I ordered a pour over coffee - Guatemala guatalon pacamara. I decided I'd take it how it came, and I was glad I did because it was excitingly amazing. It came in a reusable glass, they up charge $1 for it, but if you bring it back, they give you $1 off your drink. I love that they try to be eco friendly with the reusable glass jars. They have minimal outside seats available and space inside to sit, enjoy, and get acquainted. Music plays in the background, and chill vibes are experienced. I'm glad I discovered this local coffee hub.

    Flat white, date latte, and triple chocolate cookie

    I love Amberson! Always an amazing experience. Hand crafted coffee with the tip built into the price. I love the calm cozy vibe inside and appreciate the presentation and care put into the drinks. I tried a cookie today and it was really great.

    I came for the breakfast sandwich and it did not disappoint! Get here early or they do run out. It is a little pricey at $13 with bacon, but the eggs are perfectly done! Not sure what sauce they put in there but whatever it is it's amazing!! The matcha was delicious, very smooth and not too much sugar. They use a matcha whisk which is a good sign :) Will definitely be back.

    The best damn breakfast sandwich! I have been going to amberson since it opened and whether you're getting coffee or food it's always presented and made with care. The breakfast sandwich is one of my favorites and a go to on Sunday!

I've walked by Good Vibes Cafe many times and was able to stop in and so glad I did! I got a large iced french toast latte and a strawberry croffle and both were so good!

The strawberries were fresh and delicious and I love that they offer dairy free options and not just in their milk but the whip that goes with the croffle is dairy free. The vibe is comfy and cosy! They're located on the 2nd floor and have plenty of space to sit and offer books to read and games to play. I'm glad they're close to where I work and will be back to try their other latte flavors!

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!

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.

    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.
