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.

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 Airbnbs in the college area, so you can start your exploration here and have a good start to your day!

Friendly staff, great drinks, and a unique cafe atmosphere. Its a hidden gem that deserves checking out.Can be a great place to work and study long hours, but theres roughly six seats at the comfy table spaces downstairs, so plan accordingly!

Ah-may-zing! Today was my first visit to this little gem in the city. It was also my second! My cortado was fabulous, but so was my daughters matcha latte and her friends miel. So good, in fact, that I had to go back and get my own miel! The barrista remembered that I had ordered with oat milk the first time and remembered my name, too! Im thankful I dont live nearby, or I couldnt resist getting their coffee every day. Im already scheming reasons to be back in the area so I can return.

Preferred when they had 3 different local drip options at the coffee bar. But still a great spot.

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.

This place serves a decent assortment of coffee from around the Indianapolis area. When I arrived I was the only.peraon in line w one barista on duty. He was making a drink and eventually stopped to take my order. After waiting a few minutes another couple of customers came in, and he again eventually stopped what he was doing to take the next orders. He them proceeded to make them before making mine. I ordered a macchiato, which was just ok, not particularly good, but not horrible.

Cool little coffee shop, and the only one that was open early on Sunday morning. Had a ham, egg, and cheese crossaint with a coffee and they were excellent. Would love to have spent more time there, very cozy and comfortable.

I think that overall this coffee shop is an awesome little spot to chill and study for several hours. The basement is my preferred part of the café. Definitely a great spot for the winter, but the only thing is that there are limited tables to work comfortably at; the wi-fi is a little spotty as well. But, I would definitely consider this place for a chill spot to work.

The best coffee shop north of 16th street! It is a welcoming place that highlights locally roasted coffees. Their drinks are unique and well made, especially the mocha and the dirty chai.

New coffee spot with a really nice reading room style basement. Has a small kids area too. People are nice. Espresso is a bit acidic, but drinks are made well. Hot chocolate comes with an oreo! Service is a bit awkward, but being brand new Im sure they will figure it out. I would highly reccomend giving the new locally owned coffee spot a shot. (Pardon the pun)

A coffee shop with a lot of character. Coffee was great and you definitely want to use the downstairs seating. Such a cozy atmosphere and a vibe that feels like you’re home. I ordered the vanilla lavender latte. I enjoyed it, but I learned I may not be the biggest fan of lavender in my coffee. To each his own🤷🏻‍♂️

Lived in the neighborhood for a while now and decided to check the place out a couple weeks ago. Awesome shop, good coffee, and a great place to meet, work, or study. Dont ignore checking out the basement. Has a fireplace, awesome one-off furniture, and an overall good vibe. Its my new coffee shop in town.

I went to this adorable coffee shop for the first time and will definitely be back next time I visit the area. The decor was so much fun and dont miss the cozy fireplace setting on the lower level! We had coffee, latte, a scone and the zucchini bread and all were wonderful. The only thing better than the coffee and food were the service and the owner, she is a doll!! I would recommend you not miss this if you are in the area!!

This is quickly becoming my go-to coffee shop! Good coffee and such a comfy, classy atmosphere. I love the early morning hours and the outdoor seating as well! Saturday morning parking has always been easy to find, too, which is an extra bonus. Basement seating is frequently overlooked, giving lots of peace and quiet if that’s what you’re looking for!

Review №33

I am in love with this place. Honestly, they serve the creamiest chai latte I’ve ever had, and I didn’t think anyone could top Starbucks, but they’ve outdone themselves. Pair that with the best customer service, and the most adorable cozy basement setting, and you’ve got yourself the best damn coffee shop in broad ripple. I would consider this my happy place. Thank y’all for all you do!

Drink wise, Prufrock is pretty solid.Food wise, Im pretty disappointed. I ordered a croissant and what I received was still dough on the inside and cold at the center. When I brought it up to the counter the barista assured me multiple times that they could throw it in for another minute.They brought it back out explaining that they just got a new air fryer and are still figuring out the recipe. The croissant was still dough so I gave up hope on the croissant attempts.So I guess my thoughts for them are to not make your baked goods in an air fryer, and quality control them before trying to sell them.Learning that they are making pastries in an air fryer and not checking if theyre actually good has probably turned me away from going back. Now lets hope I dont get salmonella from this uncooked dough.

By no means am I a reviewer or critic, but it my opinion,, any place that provides good service in beverages, a good and pleasing atmosphere, and allows enjoyment of company even in precedentedly horrific times, it is worth all love and good rating. It is a versatile space, and once when the world comes to a state where we may freely drink and be merry, I shall return to Prufrock, for coffee.

What about if the women that help learn something about how the place works? She didn’t know the flavors of the stuff you sell she doesn’t know if the stuff is out or where to find it, everything I asked her she said “I don’t know” if she doesn’t who so disappointed about that, besides the chai tea was so good and the vibe is really cozy too

I have a coffee shop right down the street from my house, but I would much rather go the extra mile to Prufrock. The drinks are tasty, the decor is cozy and insta-worthy, and the staff is so pleasant. They have a serve yourself coffee bar, which is so useful for folks on the go. They can be rather busy, but thats because theyre so good! I would recommend this place for your regular shop, visitors to town, and anyone in between.

When me and my friends stopped by, there was only one employee there and she was knocking drinks out lickity split! And on top of working so hard she was super nice and made conversation with every customer! Im very sorry that I didnt catch her name but she was blonde with bangs and she deserves a raise!!

This place is amazing. Ive had the Americano about 5 times now and its fantastic. The 52nd Street/College intersection welcomes this place perfectly. The owners are wonderful and I try to get to this place as much as I can. Pricing is great, too. Great job opening Prufrock.

Nice new coffee shop off to a great start. The mocha is home made and the Chai is from SoBeo next door. Make sure to check out the basement for a nice study space.3 mo edit - this shop has really come into its own. With the new extended hours this is a great place to grab coffee first thing or study.
