    Practical Magic (PSL)
    Mary H.

    A friend and I stopped in here at the AMP before work. I saw they had this magical Halloween themed drink - it was their version of a PSL. This was back in October. It was INCREDIBLE. Great flavors and you can really tell they put in quality ingredients and time to craft great coffee. Would definitely come here again. I was a little shocked at the price ($8 for a medium drink), but honestly it felt very worth it because of how good it was.

    I've always loved Tinker Coffee! I came to pick up some coffee for a small work event, so I ordered the 96 oz traveler in the Conduit blend. I'm glad I came in early as it did take some time to make and there was only one worker at the time. She was very friendly and got all the items ready for easy travel. I did also order the iced brown sugar cinnamon latte and added honey but she may have forgotten to add honey because I couldn't taste it. Overall, good experience and will be ordering again for the next work event!

    This is my favorite place, I go wayyyy too much! I imagine all locations are just as good but I have only been to this one, the one near broad ripple, and the airport location. The Amp is such a cool location, lots to explore and try with plenty of seating and just a good vibe. But don't forget everything closes at 3pm! My favorite drink from Tinker is the maple miso Carmel latte, I slurp this coffee up like it's no one's business! Their yogurt parfaits are also delicious and everything is fairly reasonably priced. The employees are so sweet and they never get sick of seeing me every two days. If I could give this location 10 stars I would.

    Stopped at this location before hitting the road to get a drink. I was surprised and pleased to see that they have London fogs on the menu. As that is one of my favorite drinks, I was excited to try it from a local business. It was so tasty, and they even told me how to make it at home which I appreciated. The staff was so friendly! I can't wait to get back to try some more drinks.

    I had a meeting at AMP this morning and, since I've never been, I was excited to try something new. Tinker Coffee did not disappoint. I had the Cinnamon Maple latte and it was a perfect fall drink. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. There was a pretty good crowd around 8am on a Thursday and I saw at least two other groups gathering for a meeting. The staff person was friendly and quick, even though it was pretty busy. I'm not normally in that area of the city but I'll definitely stop in again next time I am.

    Serving the same excellent quality coffee as they do elsewhere. The coffee menu doesn't seem scaled downed. The coffee menu has the traditional coffee and espresso drinks you can find at their other locations and they also have some special drinks. There are different milk options and order ahead is available. You can find alternative beverages to coffee. The menu also has a few sandwiches. You can buy whole been coffee and coffee equipment at this location as well. The customer service is top notch. Very friendly, personal, and professional. The location is ideal as well. In the Asian Market you can get your coffee and stop by next door and get a croissant. There is plenty of seating and bathrooms available. I realize this is a brief review but that's because a lot of what I could say about Tinker has already been said before.

    I have been wanting to try Tinker as I know their coffee beans are distributed throughout Indy! I ordered the hazelnut latte, and it was great! Not too sweet, just perfect! I wish I got the baristas name, but she was so friendly and bubbly! Really friendly and great service! I didn't try a tart, but I need too!

    I go for the coffee and I keep going back for those tarts. Conveniently located in The Amp, this is the only way to get Tinker Coffee made for you by Tinker. Yea other can brew Tinker coffee but as far I know, the creative flavors offered by Tinker here is the only place you will get specially made syrups Tinker makes. Now these tarts. Back in the day I liked Pop Tarts when I was a kid. Into adulthood, Pop Tarts were no longer a go to breakfast item or afternoon snack. Then I seen these Tarts at Tinker and my willingness to try a tart. The flavors are insanely different and good. Libby was friendly and provided awesome customer service and a perfectly crafted Latte!

    Paul W.

    I highly recommend tinker coffee! Friendly staff, great food, and drinks! If you're brave & want to awaken your third eye order the "Paul", it's my go to drink. Latte with 6 shots of espresso & oat milk.

    Options, options. But if what you want isn't displayed, ask the barista!
    Zinat A.

    Great coffee, accessible locations, with something for everyone. The options are listed on the menu board but if you want something that isn't listed on the menu, the baristas can be quite accomdating. The vibe is welcoming and relaxing, not stuffy. My first time visit I was treated like a regular. There are seats in from of the cafe-front to sit back and relax with your drink or finish up some work. Add this spot to your Indy coffee tour list!

    I genuinely think tinker coffee can do no wrong. My favorite is their 5 spice latte. Hot. Iced. Doesn't matter. It's incredible either way.

I find…read moremyself making excuses to run errands on Washington Street just so I have an excuse to stop at Good Vibes! I know Good Vibes Cafe is known for their boba tea and "croffles," so of course I had to try one of each on my first visit! I love all the punny names of the boba drinks, mine was called "Pinky Swear," and another cute one is "Peach, Don't Kill My Vibe!" The Pinky Swear has a strawberry tea base with peach popping boba, and it's exactly what I order when I get boba at Harmony or Kung Fu Tea, so I knew I was going to like it! The "croffle" (a croissant in the waffle iron) is out-of-this-world delicious! It was the perfect balance of flaky and fluffy, and the Biscoff drizzle and fresh whipped cream made it even better. Now this is definitely not something that you can eat every day, but is a great occasional indulgence. On my most recent visit, I mixed it up and tried a coffee drink this time! I got the Biscoff latte, and it was literally perfect. The cup was lined with Biscoff cookie butter, and the rich espresso balanced out the sweetness and made it impossible to stop drinking. The only thing that would make this latte better would be if it came in a bigger size! One of my favorite things about Good Vibes is the half and half cup, where you can pick a drink for each side of the cup! It's a great way to enjoy everything Good Vibes had to offer without being forced to make a decision between two equally delicious drinks, plus it costs the same as a large drink! What's not to love? I definitely recommend Good Vibes Cafe, and don't be surprised if you see me there when you stop by!

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.

There are typically long lines in the morning hours, but the line moves quickly most of the time. Aside from coffee, they have delicious cookies and other baked goods in the case and a selection of grab and go sandwiches, salads, fruit, yogurt, etc... The coffee is not amazing, but not bad. I would not recommend getting a drip decaf coffee in the afternoon because it will likely be cold. Instead, go for a decaf americano! The customer service is good. Anytime I have had an issue with my drink, the staff has offered to remake it. Fun things to consider! They have a coffee stamp card and after 10 drinks, you earn $2 off. If you bring your own cup or one of their cups to refill you will get $1 off your drink. I have been known for keeping a cup for a week to refill! The best deal is the 3 after 3! After 3 PM you can get a coffee refill and your choice of cookie for $3. It is a nice treat in the late afternoon.,

However, since this Copper Moon is sometimes the nearest espresso location during a busy day at work, it is "the" option.

The service is typically friendly, but the drink make line can get backed up (especially when there are newbies manning the machine...and there seems to be turnover frequently). The pastry and grab n' go options are overpriced in my opinion; so were Hubbard & Cravens' options, but at least the quality was better. I can't speak to the regular coffee or flavored drinks, just to my okay plain decaf lattes...which are difficult to screw up.
