    Great coffee place! The long queue was catered very quickly and efficiently. I got mocha with oat milk and it was perfect to start my day. Looking forward to come back again. Good luck team Tinker!

    It was super busy when we came but the service was spot on. Really good Mocha and an added bonus, they have oat milk. Definitely recommended.

    The AMP is such a cool concept of transforming old shipping containers into something beautiful like Tinker. Great coffee, beautiful spaces, kind people. What’s better than that?!

    They are one of the most intentional coffee roasters ever. They CARE so much. Very unique flavors! Met one of their owners who gave some insights to the business and their mission.

    Tinker is a local coffee legend. They have some of the best espresso and drip coffee in Indianapolis, and their flavored drinks are all thoughtful and delicious. Staff are extremely friendly and down to earth. On the food side, I highly recommend the "Cheapskate" breakfast sandwich and the homemade pop tarts.

    Lovely coffee!! Places to sit if it isn’t too busy, at high top tables with bar chairs. They have homemade pop tarts!

    Flavor-wise, definitely my favorite place to get a latte, especially because a lot of their syrups are vegan (salted caramel is my go-to) unlike a lot of places. Service-wise, just an all around pleasant experience. Every employee I have had the opportunity to order from has been such a delight and willing to ensure the customer experience is a positive one.

    No pour-over, but they do have the best drip I've ever had in my life. But to get a 5 star they need to: * Have for here cups * get some pour over rolling.

    Thank goodness for coffee spots that are open in the morning! Yes, you would say coffee is served in the morning and after a rather bad experience of a closed coffee shop I quickly googled and rushed to tinker at the amp and thankfully it was open. The shop is amongst many other stores in the amp and has an open seating which isn’t dedicated to a specific business. I ordered americano and it was quick and good much like tinker coffee. 2 shots and costed about. $3 which I felt was extremely reasonable. Quick and convenient go to place!

    I love that place, thanks to all baristas that work there and their great coffee! Always smiling and friendly, even at 8 am on Monday morning 😁

    This local coffee roaster has branched out with its own café location, a natural extension showcasing its hard work. The Tinker Coffee café has innovative items on the menu, including a maple miso latte and a bright, citrus-infused honey vanilla latte. Selections change fairly frequently, though, so check out what’s new.

    What's up with you all not having almond milk?!?! WTH!! I understand individuals having nut allergies. However, some people live a low carb lifestyle. Oatmilk is too high in carbs. Please reconsider having some nut milks available. Thanks

    This is my new favorite shop in 317. Each visit is such a great experience for my coffee craving soul that I dream about this shop. Thank you for existing!

    Helpful staff, delicious coffee with real cream! Strong but not bitter. Live music on Saturdays during the Winter Market. Tinker rules!

    Great place in an amazing industrial open marketplace. There is so much offered there at THE AMP. Do yourself a favor and try this place out!

  • 5/5 Eric M. 1 year ago on Google
    10/10 would recommend. Specialty coffee that didn’t taste pretentious. It’s a locally roasted coffee with a lot of complexity to the flavors and a lot of attention to the details of coffee. I bought some beans from them at a coffee festival a few months ago and was stoked to make it out to their shop. I had a cappuccino with whole milk (no sweetener) and the flavor was phenomenal. If you’re a Starbucks drinker, there’s a comparable boldness to the espresso, but with a more complex flavor. It wasn’t overly fruity or floral. The cafe is located in an urban food market a few blocks from their roaster. There’s a lot of other food options, but we also hit up the only other place open at 8am on the weekdays and it was also 🔥. Stop in for a cap and a croissant and you won’t be disappointed.

    I love this location! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. While brewed coffee isn’t my thing, they make wonderful lattes and my personally the best hot chocolate out there!

  • 5/5 Hannah D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and matcha! Stopped by today and enjoyed chatting with the barista and learning about their local roastery. Love this place!

    My absolute favorite little coffee stand. I love their drip Coffees which are rotating and I am always surprised at the craftsmanship of their unique drinks. Wonderful food too - the cheapskate sandwich is a favorite!

    This is one of the most reliable and delightful little spots inside the AMP. My favorite treat from here is their veggie breakfast sandwich. The sauce on the sandwich is outstanding, and for preference only I ask for 'light' on the onions. The staff should also be mentioned - this crew is efficient, friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. 5 stars - they make the place sing!!
