New owners are hitting it out of the park. I'm a total coffee snob and I'll be very critical if I get a bad cup of coffee. I ordered an Americano and was pleased with the result. It was ever so slightly overextracted and I didn't even pick up on it until the end of the cup....otherwise it was great. I liked the ceramic cups. Nice touch and a step up from what I was expecting for sure. You could tell they are just getting started and I was impressed with the level of attention. I ordered a bagel and they weren't going to give it to me because it was sliced crooked. I'm picky about my coffee, but I'll stuff a bagel into my pie hole regardless of how it's cut...so I made them give it to me. The place is really cozy and I could easily see it as a spot where I would hang out for a couple of hours just because it's so comfortable.

Cozy & cute Indy-centric multi-roaster (Limelight, blue mind, Circadian, Calvin Fletcher's) with eclectic furniture and classic books & board games. Coffees rotate daily, schedule is on display if you want to plan ahead. The uspecified blend from Circadian on espresso was unremarkable aside from a hazelnut-forward nose and its thin veneer of crema but made an excellent base for a decent milk drink in "Love Song", a latte with vanilla syrup and ground lavender. The milk texture/foam wouldn't win any technical competitions but it was nonetheless a tasty drink. Blue Mind's Ethiopian on drip was the highlight (as it often is), with blueberry in the nose delivering on the sip & the finish. Solid spot if you're in the neighborhood or picking up a bag and want some choices.

Just reopened with some new changes and is under new leadership. If you are a fan, they have Turkish coffee! It tasted very good but I should say it was heavier on sediment than I expected. I believe they are aiming for a traditional style Turkish coffee which may or may not be what Midwest pallets are used to I did ask the staff about this, which the staff was very friendly and went out of their way (without me asking) to prepare two more coffees with less sediment to try. I greatly appreciated the service I received and noticed other customers were receiving.

Old School, New school retro type decors or whatever, nice atmosphere the barista Jaaz has created with unique friendly personality, and musical playlist. Ask anything about coffee, he seems to be very knowledgeable. Lots of space, cool books and magazines, couches, and chairs everywhere. Oh, pluses the coffee and drinks are great. Yes, this is one of those places I suggest you check out for yourself. Tip your barista if their cool people. I added the Halloween pics Oct 2020, plus I wanted you to see all the choices you have for seating.

Got back in Indianapolis two years later to learn about the closing of my favorite cafe. Glad I got one to be here to say goodbye. Looking forward to them returning. Long live Prufrock! Friendly staff, great drinks, and a unique cafe atmosphere. It's a hidden gem that deserves checking out. Can be a great place to work and study long hours!

The changes are mostly positive, but the price took a serious jump, and the coffee was lukewarm. I asked if they could warm it up, and they said they'd just replace it with a fresh brew, which would have been fantastic service. It never came, and when I asked again, I was given coffee from the same, now cooler pot.

Clean, great chill vibes. So many cozy spaces to meet a friend, get some work done or just relax. Friendly and knowledgable staff. My first visit I was recommended the “Morning at the Window Miel Latte,” now my favorite drink. It tastes like a spicy shortbread cookie. I had a lovely experience meeting a friend after work, we walked around a little to find our spot and our drinks arrived in these huge colorful mugs. A home away from home.

It was just ok. My 16 oz iced latte was nearly $9 which was crazy. It also had espresso grounds at the bottom of it and wasn't anything special taste-wise. There was only one person working and she wasn't very personable or interested in talking to me, which I get. It was close to closing time and she was probably tired, but at least look me in the eye, y'know? Inside it was cozy and cute. Probably won't be back honestly.

I really had a good experience here, even though I'd only stopped in to meet a friend for coffee. They were very service-oriented and served a fantastic dirty chai. I highly recommend it, and I will be returning!

Drip Coffee

Eccentric coffee shop located on the street level with parking along the surrounding streets. There is a basement area for more room to stay a while. I love that they offer some vegan pastry options as well as milk alternatives. They are open early and located near a lot of Airbnb's in the college area, so you can start your exploration here and have a good start to your day!

Great staff and wonderful drinks. A super cool space for anyone but especially book lovers. Decor was wonderful and the basement space was a great spot to sit and drink coffee.

Enjoyed yummy coffee and a good ambiance at Prufrock! I had a hard time reading the menu but I saw a drink with honey so got that! The workers were nice. Lots of seating area inside and outside. Definitely want to go back and try more and it’s nice to be in walking distance of lots of great shops.

Drinks were made with special care. I could tell the barista really wanted to make sure each person was enjoying their beverage. Great service and unique atmosphere.
