Crema's Take
“Poindexter sits in a well-decorated hotel lobby and draws a slow-coffee crowd, but this rating is based on only 7 reviews and hovers at 3.3—a real red flag. The main complaints are consistency issues: service ranges from friendly to rushed, food orders get mixed up during busy times, and prices feel high ($20+ for a waffle) relative to execution. One regular has returned multiple times and praises it, but most reviewers note the coffee itself is just okay, making it a gamble unless you're already staying at the Graduate hotel.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Slow-sit spot. Light food on the menu.

Saturday staff was friendly, Sunday was all business (which is fine, and much less awful time-wise). However, Saturday was a complete disaster. 20 minutes for a sandwich with no variation is unacceptable for an order at the counter and wait breakfast place. One woman I spoke to…
Drip coffee was ok Suggest that they take names with hot food orders so that on busy days, people know which orders below to the right person. I grabbed someone else's burrito. Felt pretty bad but they were not doing a good job managing the food coming out of the back. …
