The second I walked in this place I kind of held my breath a little, the merch, the roasted beans, the coffee cups with the mural art. But everything this place executed they did with absolute perfection. Unreal cup of coffee, insanely good breakfast sandwich, and great service. Appreciate you great stuff. read more

Tinker Coffee - 16 oz drip - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

My sister brought me home a blueberry matcha latte. At first sip, I tasted mostly a sugary blueberry syrup. I stirred the drink and it was still way too sweet for me. I ended up adding a decaf espresso to "dirty" the drink up and that made it really nice. I love the bitter matcha flavor and unfortunately, this drink was not giving much of it. read more

For me, this was the best coffee I had in Indianapolis. I tried a few others that won't be named and they were pretty bad. This location had a nice seating area and competent baristas. If you're visiting Indianapolis this is the chain I'd recommend read more

If you live in Indy, you understand the Tinker Coffee empire. Admittedly, this is my first time in a full Tinker store, where I've normally gone to the airport locations or the stand in the AMP at 16 tech. At midday, there's not a large crowd but still some folks who work inside amongst the expanse of seating available. Thus, my drink came pretty quickly. I came during Eras tour weekend, so I was able to get the specialty Chai Sugar Cookie latte. If memory serves me correctly, this was under $6 for the 16 oz iced latte. Of all the coffees I've had, I would say this was the most accurate to flavor by description. The notes of chai are wonderfully balanced with the sugar cookie. I would even go so far as to start a petition to make this a permanent item. Otherwise, I love the Five Spice Latte. Along with the Chai Sugar Cookie latte, purchases in Eras Tour weekend came with a swiftie friendship bracelet! I would recommend Tinker as *the* coffee shop of our city! read more

Tinker Coffee - Chai sugar cookie latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

YUMMYYYYY! I felt a bit Experimental/adventurous today so for my morning coffee: I got the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte upon recommendation from the barista taking my order. Not the slightest bit of regret! I'm usually one who doesn't like too much spice in my coffee, especially cinnamon because of how overpowering it can be at times. But this was almost perfect! Not too much cinnamon and the brown sugar is just enough to balance the sweetness with spice and complement the bitterness of the brown sugar, cinnamon, and coffee all together. The Egg, sausage & cheese biscuit was scrumptious and the biscuit wasn't overly dry but rather well buttered and soothed by the cheese of the sandwich. Simply yummy! The service was excellent!! The baristas were kind, easy to talk and order with. She immediately complimented my Disney Card as she saw it and that made my day all the more special. I really liked the ambiance for its minimalist design and its unique look with their chairs. The smell of the area was not overwhelming since the day was probably just starting for them but I really liked the soothing smell of spice, coffee, and breakfast- Emphasis on coffee. Overall: beautiful place and great coffee. I'd probably have this place as a study or hangout spot for myself and friends. read more

Tinker started out off 16th Street on the Westside and to a nice place at the AMP. This newish location is really pretty inside. If you know where Whole Foods and the Cummins buildings are it's in that area that wraps around a corner. I love the deep blues that they used on the walls. They introduced two new drinks the "Dancing Ann" and "On Your Left" paying homage to the Cultural Trail and all its offerings. The change that people round up this month goes to the Cultural Trail. They have a nice pastry selection and delicious looking breakfast sandwiches that I saw being picked up from the counter. Yogurt with granola, and various other pastries and of course pop tarts - the brown sugar one was delicious especially if you warm it up!!! I've always liked the font they used on the cups and the design of the cups it's really cool looking. I'm sure this won't be the last time I visit this Indy coffee gem!! read more

I tried this coffee place for the first time yesterday when I had business in that area. This was the first time I tried something different than a regular coffee or cappuccino or mocha. The coffee I tried was a hot peppermint white mocha. It was delicious. I absolutely loved it and their customer service is amazing. They also have some breakfast items and over the counter muffins and other things for you to grab and go. This place is also great for you to sit down and have a little bit of time to work if you have your workplaces nearby. This is a nice place to come out with your coworkers and you know have a quick cup of coffee. The parkings on the street. The staff are very pleasant. The decor inside is amazing. They have some vegetarian and vegan options as well. I tried the vegetarian option which was great. This is a definitely good place to try coffee and some snacks, although they are a bit on the pricey side. read more

Cute little spot. Nothing wrong with the coffee, I just prefer a non-pre-sweetened matcha and that was the only option on their menu. read more

Tinker Coffee - Matcha latte (oak mylk the only alternative non-dairy). - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

So thrilled to have this new Tinker Coffee addition in the Wholesale District- a fabulous option for visitors and locals alike. The space is beautiful wrap around windows and seating, outdoor sidewalk seating, plentiful outlets, and a fun high top over looking the action. The menu features a variety of their drip coffees along with lattes like the Five Spice and lemongrass. They also offer a few food items and most notably, they've recently added Sidedoor Bagels to their Sunday menu (brilliant!! ). I thoroughly enjoyed my latte this past weekend and the friendly customer service. I also appreciated their current fundraiser for Indy Parks. You can easily find parking on the adjacent streets or via the Whole Foods lot if you're a customer. Looking forward to my next visit already! read more

When my partner and I moved downtown, I made a point of getting a cup of coffee and asking if I could stop in while walking my dog to get a to go coffee. I was told that people did it all the time, and I was welcome to bring Maggie in on our morning walks, which I've done now on several occasions. This morning, we stopped in for our latte, and I was told by the snotty kid behind the counter (who I'd never seen before) that they have been explicitly told that dogs aren't allowed. I have really no issue with that policy, if that's the policy, but get your policies together and make sure everyone is on the same page instead of allowing your employees to embarrass and condescend to your customers. The poor employee that told me that Maggie was welcome was standing there and couldn't even look me in the eye. A woman at the counter yelled "tell her she's your emotional support dog!" I simply said, "ok, tell your manager you've lost a customer," and hit it. I got a better coffee at Daisy Bar. read more

Great new place downtown. Tinker has AMAZING coffee and they just opened a downtown coffee shop by Whole Foods and Cummins HQ. It's a nice, clean place. I got an americano and a cookie and both were great. This location is amazing to walk, bike, or take the bus to. Quick walk to the circle, too if you want to grab coffee to go and walk around. I wish there was a bit more indoor seating. And I wish they had a bit more pastry options. However, their coffee is a MUST TRY, so don't let those small areas for improvement turn you away. The staff was friendly and the service was very fast. This is great coffee in an amazing location. Definitely a perfect addition to this part of the city. Come and try Tinker Coffee! read more

After months of driving past this place, my partner and I decide to give this spot a try instead of our usual coffee place in downtown Indy. Their place is a good size and clean. The staff was friendly and accommodates our request to make the coffee extra hot. I got the rosemary hazelnut drink and we tried out both breakfast sandwiches on their menu - everything was very good. I loved my drink - this could easily be my go to coffee spot! read more

Stopped by early for coffee, of course. Coffee was fine but I had the Honey Vanilla Latte which was outstanding. Perfect blend of flavors without being overly sweet. Did not sample any of the sweet treats but the burnt butter bourbon rice crispy treat sounded intriguing. Just a bit too early for me to launch into that. Maybe next time! read more

Most delicious mocha! I ordered less sweet than normal. Their house made sauce did not disappoint.

New coffee shop downtown and it is SO cute. It is so modern and absolutely gorgeous. It is a great location downtown near the Whole Foods and the city market. The inside was spacious and they had great outdoor seating. Parking is downtown street parking and possibly garages near by! ALSO look at these cups!!!! They are SO CUTE! Seriously love this coffee shop!! The people were super kind and the service was great! Check them out!! read more

So glad this new coffee shop has opened! Definitely missed having a Starbucks/coffee here. Loved the americano and so excited to try out all the other lattes on the menu! Staff was friendly and service was quick - even for a busy time in the day. The line was pretty long but I didn't wait much and my drink and sandwich was out in a flash. The only critique is for the breakfast sandwich - the sausage and egg were great but the bun was a bit drying and almost more like a hamburger bun than breakfast sandwich bun? Definitely going to give it a few more tries since I may have caught a bad or busy day where they ran out of supplies. Space is cozy with plenty of outlets. Would recommend working here but may depend on your tolerance for noise. When I went (maybe around opening week) there were a lot of people there, which may make it hard to work. read more

Nice corner coffee shop! I pass by Tinker often, and finally took a moment to drop in. A brown sugar cinnamon latte was my choice, which was tasty without being overly sweet. Some quick snack items are on the menu as well, and pricing is about average for a coffee place. The place appears to be friendly to homeless as well, which is highly admirable. Sometimes I see people inside that appear to come in to have a seat and warm up. When stopping by earlier, the baristas kindly offered water to a down on their luck individual that sounds like a regular visitor. Kudos to Tinker for a clean, welcoming environment and good beverages! read more

So I came by Tinker Coffee on 1/5/25 @ 11:59 AM. It was a male barista that made my drink. First time I've seen him. Idk if he's new? When I got it, it felt a little light for a 20 oz drink. I didn't bother to take off the lid to take a peek. I went home immediately, I did not spill nor haven't taken a sip from the matcha latte that I ordered. When I opened it, the cup was 3/4 full. I know everyone's gonna think it was the foam, I got oat milk and oat milk don't foam like that. I didn't order a cappuccino for it to be foamy. I'm just a little disappointed that it was 1/4 empty. I I've mostly ordered iced lattes.. Not my first time ordering from this place.. I don't know. Maybe I haven't checked previously? I loved their other lattes still. But idk if I'd come back here anymore. I'll come back but I'll check who's making my drink first or maybe I'd prefer to put the lid myself like other coffee shops do. What's your experience? Thoughts? read more

They have such non-basic flavors for their lattes that it's definitely worth choosing them over another coffee shop. For example, sesame vanilla and rosemary hazelnut. Rosemary hazelnut is my favorite iced! The rewards isn't bad either so you can get decent discounts. I always come in here in the morning looking busted half in my pajamas but it's worth it. read more

Many of my friends, much more snobby bean counters than I, vote Tinker as the top tier roastery, and no surprise! The experience, atmosphere, friendly staff, and delightful menu is always a treat here and even at their airport location I sampled two years ago much astonished a runway shop could brew a decent cup! The five spice latte is crazy unique and perfect for cold days. My sister loves their lemongrass latte and their rare but amazing decaf espresso roast. Every drink is a winner! This glassy and classy curved corner cafe is ideal for a quick or slow stop. There's plenty of light and carefree seating to sip up the hours. Parking options are tricky for the new kids but not too bad for big cities. read more

I will never be able to say enough good things about this place! I have tried a lot of coffee places in Indy, local and chain, and this place probably ranks the highest for me. They have some of the most unique flavors I've ever tried, such as a toasted sesame latte that is absolutely outstanding, and on Sundays they have bagels from a local bagel place that is not open on Sundays. Every time I have gone in there, which is a lot, one of the servers if not more have had a personal conversation with me whether it was about something I was wearing, something I ordered, or even just the weather outside. It is always so welcoming, they always play great music in my personal opinion, and overall the vibe is just very good. They have a huge variety of drinks, food, seating options, etc. They also offer rewards on the toast app, which is a bonus for people to go there a lot like I do. read more
