"This is a more silent focused cafe in a hotel, the vibe is vintage and I would say “manly”. This is a great place to do work, there’s a decent amount of seating that gets wildly occupied during school (Yale) season— be mindful of this if you are going here. There is a room with a curtain and a couple booths, providing a private place to do work. The drink options here flavor wise are somewhat limited but they do have seasonal drinks which is nice. I have never tried their food but it seems all premade, so I’m not very interested. This business would be more enjoyable and successful if their hours of operation were to be expanded until 11 pm or 12 am, 6 days a week. There should also be an additional of halal foods or snacks for customers to purchase."

"I recently visited Poindexter and had a great experience. The place has a cozy, laid-back vibe that’s perfect for getting work done or just relaxing with a coffee. The coffee was flavorful, and I appreciated the option to choose from different roasts. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure everything was to my liking. The seating was comfortable, with a nice mix of tables and couches, and the atmosphere was peaceful—ideal for staying productive. Overall, I’d recommend Poindexter for anyone looking for a comfortable spot to work or unwind with a good cup of coffee."

"Tucked in the back of the beautiful Graduate Hotel, Poindexter Coffee has become my go-to spot. The lobby’s cool furniture and big communal tables make it feel stylish but relaxed, and the space itself is great, high ceilings, tons of natural light, and plenty of room to spread out. The coffee is consistent. The staff is genuinely kind, especially to pets; my dog is always welcomed with smiles and a treat. Between the pet-friendly vibe (hotel included), friendly service, and comfortable setup, it’s the perfect place to post up with a latte and stay awhile. Highly recommend."

"Fancy atmosphere in lobby of boutique hotel. Good coffee and was one of only places open at 8 or 9 am on Saturday after thanksgiving!"

"Nice ambiance. Located inside the Graduate Hotel towards the back. Dog friendly. Had a London fog which was very good and creamy."
