Crema's Take
“Poindexter Coffee is a college-friendly study spot with a genuinely clean, comfortable space and friendly staff, but the coffee knowledge and execution are shaky — baristas struggled to answer basic questions about origin and didn't know what size a cortado should be, and drinks like the chagaccino skew aggressively sweet. If you're looking for serious coffee, skip it; if you need a pleasant place to camp out with a laptop and decent pastries, it works fine for that.”

Pretty bad… space is kinda nice, but they seem clueless on coffee. Couldn’t tell me origin of the drip and when I ordered a Cortado they asked if I wanted a 4oz or 8oz. I was so confused. Espresso was sour and under extracted. If you need a place to study this could be nice,…
