    Fruity pebbles matcha
    Luke W.

    Limited and app priced street parking in this downtown corner make for awkward entry but I found a quick and happy shop that whipped up a fruity pebbles match real quick! So good! This is a great place for Indianapolis and will have to try more of the menu.

    Awesome little coffee shop with super creative drinks. I've gone the past 2 days and ordered: - the chronic - might be the perfect coffee concoction. If you like sbucks iced shaken espresso this is the one for you. Even better, the ice cubes were frozen coffee!!! It's the gift that just keeps giving. - elf's brew - cold brew with eggnog and cinnamon. Simple but very effective seasonal drink to get you in the holiday spirit. So good! Plenty of food options too. I've had the croissants which are always a good combo with coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very friendly service and a dog friendly spot too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I've tried this place multiple times, love the service! The owner was truly accommodating with some delta 8 alternatives and the baristas are sweeties! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance of the place is chill, quaint and quirky![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now, idk if I'm the problem but not a lot of coffee places make matcha with a good balance of sweetness, that's the only downfall for me! I ask for sweetness and it's still always bitter. Which is totally customizable and could be dependent on my delta 8 addition!

    Chai Me! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little place across from the Fieldhouse.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm not much of a coffee drinker but Chai Lattes have a special place in my heart. There's a few drinks I'd like to go back and try. The barista was super cool and patient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's small so you're not working from there but definitely grab and go or sit for a few minutes, there's also a couple seats and tables outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Surely has the 'coffee shop' vibe going.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're downtown and want a refreshing beverage, try Chronic.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]discovered this cozy costa-rican coffee shop after getting lost downtown (shoutout to construction! for.. the first time, ever... ) and WHAT. A. GEM.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the menu is a little eccentric, highlighting house-made cold foams like cherry cordial and vanilla hemp, paired with unique flavor profiles like banana bread, reese's puffs, and ube! while the menu itself isn't large, they do have a variety of flavors and a very well-trained staff. As a first-time customer, I had no idea what to order, but the barista (hi Rollo ) helped me narrow down a few options and they did not dissapoint! I tried the heisenberg (a shaken espresso with milk + sweetener), the big papi (a coconut frappe), some vanilla hemp cold foam (a house favorite), and the peanut butter cold foam. Between the four, I found myself eating spoonfuls of the pb cold foam the same way you would eat the last bites of ice cream out of the container.. it was fresh, light, and so so smooth. I could *not* get enough! hopefully the limit of cold foam on a drink doesn't exist at Chronic, because I have plans to order the big papi with about 1 cup of peanut butter cold foam sitting right on top

    This cute little coffee shop was on the top of my list of places to try while I was at a conference in Indianapolis. It's a shame I only made it here once as I would have loved to try more things from their menu. I enjoyed everything that I did get to try and the other people in my group all said the same. I had the Ube Matcha Latte, a Spinach and Cheese Empanada, and the Acai Bowl. The food was great, but the latte was definitely the highlight! Unique and really lovely flavor. I was also really impressed with the speed and efficiency that the woman working by herself managed everything. None of us waited very long for our orders, including the people that arrived after us. I would highly recommend this place if you're in the area!

    I had the matcha Ube latte. My drink was incredibly delicious! It was very refreshing and flavorful. The barista was incredibly friendly and welcoming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The coffee shop is fairly small but there is limited seating space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, the decor and aesthetic is awesome.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I would highly recommend.

    I visited a couple of times while working in Indy and was really impressed. The feta and egg empanada was delicious, especially paired with the tangy green sauce it came with. I also tried "The Chronic"--a double espresso with caramel, coffee cubes, and vanilla cold foam--which was expertly crafted. Service can be a bit slow since there's usually only one person working (being a cashier, making the beverages, warming the food, etc.), but it's definitely worth the wait. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is great, too, with local artists' work on display adding a unique touch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Had a delightful morning trying Chronic Coffee for the first time. I was warmly greeted by the owner. He was so personable and we ended up talking a majority of time since business was slow. He recommended the Chronic which is a double espresso. I had it iced because I am an iced coffee girly even in the winter. It came with a giant ice cubes like you would find in an old fashion. The coffee shop is small but the decor is so much fun. They also display work from local artists. I really enjoyed my coffee and the conversation. I highly recommend visiting Chronic Coffee.

    Chronic Coffee was awesome. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great vibe, smack dead two blocks from the arena.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good prices, chill and friendly staff--yeah, they were Pacers fans, but super cool and welcoming. Tried the Indy 500 and The Heisenberg--both fantastic!!!Amazing experience in Indianapolis and honestly one of the best cups of coffee I've had on the road. Try this place out for sure!

    Amazing hidden gem coffee shop in Indy. You NEED to try it. They have so many great espresso drinks on the menu. It was hard to decide what to get. I ended up getting the Heisenberg. It was delicious. I also got the blueberry bagel and a cream cheese brownie. Both were great. It's a very cozy location on Virginia avenue. Inside is very small, but there's a lot of bright sun. The staff were all very friendly and the service was quick. Easy five stars. Everything was great. I will be back to try more of their espresso drinks. This place should be more hyped up.

    Their iced chai latte is by far the best I've ever had!! The baristas are always kind and creative when crafting your order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is tiny but mighty as every time I walk in I am immersed into the chronic coffee vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their playlists are A-1[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Love this little place!! Went in there for my morning coffee today and goodness did it deliver! I got the Cordially Chronic and two egg bites. The coffee was a chocolate cold brew topped with cherry cold foam- I saw her in the back literally hand crushing cherries to put in my cold foam. The egg bites were the best I've ever had (and I'm an egg bite fiend). They were topped with some sort of Mac and cheese powder it seemed like? Never seen that before, but it made it salty and savory and perfect. The barista was so nice! Definitely added a smile to my day. The place is small, but very well decorated with lots of little things to buy if you want- cards and mugs and trinkets. There are so many plants and neon signs it is so aesthetic. Even in their small space, there are 3 or 4 different seating options- even a hanging chair! There is street parking right outside that was super easy to find and pay for, and it's right by all the new stuff at Gainbridge!! Will be back!!

    Dear reader,…read more Bovaconti Coffee in Fountain Square remains one of my favourite coffee shops, and we stop there whenever we come to town. It is the sort of place that feels special the moment you walk in. A lot of people rave about the beautiful space, and quite right too. The shop has a gorgeous, old-world feel in a historic Fountain Square building, plenty of seating, and a lovely outdoor area that is very dog friendly. The staff always boast a delightful disposition that makes you want to smile and enjoy the rest of your day as well. As for the coffee, I love the iced Mayan Mocha. It is like a mocha with a kick and extra flavour depth, and it is absolutely delicious. The dark chocolate, honey, cinnamon, and cayenne give it a little warmth and complexity without losing the joy of a proper iced coffee treat. They also have some really high-end pastries to choose from. I love the lemon loaf, and some of the more complex, unique pastries make it feel a bit more elevated than the average coffee stop. Overall, it is clean, beautiful, welcoming, and always worth the return visit.

There's plenty of natural light, but also several cozier, dark areas perfect for coworking.

I usually choose something from their seasonal menu, and recently I tried the iced blueberry brown sugar matcha and it was amazing. *Free parking directly outside the building on Woodlawn Ave

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!

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.
