The coffee is extraordinary, the customer service is out of this world, the food is likewise just.. amazing. Even though it's located inside a major, nation-wide hotel chain, it's still able to maintain that "small town coffee shop," vibe to it and the employees just add to it with their amazing communication, and barista skills. If this was a stand-alone cafe I feel they could easily give some other cafes a run for their money..

I went to grab coffee with some friends visiting for the holidays. The coffee was great as was the biscuit. I got the BEC (bacon, scrambles eggs, and cheese). The coffee shop is the same room as the registration for the hotel. The vibe was great and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The only thing to think about is parking because most of the spots are dedicated to the hotel. Overall a great spot where I definitely want to spend more time.

Funky hang out located in The Graduate Hotel lobby. Super nice staff. Great place to meet a friend for coffee. In love with the vibrant yellow espresso machine.

I’d only recommend coming here for the coffee. Coffee and service were fantastic. Sandwiches were not quite worth the $11 but still tasty. For that price I’d expect a bit more than egg/cheese/meat on bread. Maybe a side or two. Def more affordable food in the town, but on me for accidentally strolling into a hotel lobby/restaurant.

I don’t have enough good things to say about this place. I study here almost everyday. The staff is so nice, coffee is absolutely amazing, they want students there to study so you don’t feel like you’re not welcome since it is a lobby. The breakfast sandwiches are the best I’ve had ever, like 100% honest. And then the seating is so comfy and the vibes are just wonderful overall. Love the decor too ;)

This past Sunday, I visited Poindexter in hopes of getting some work done. For a coffee shop, this location is very small. Seating is a bit limited. I found the space to be inviting and it looked cool. However, the tables and chairs were not very ergonomic for someone attempting to type on a laptop for extended periods. I did not have the coffee or any food. I will not be returning to Poindexter as a place to get work done.

Will Walker is a moron. I am someone who checks out reviews of places when I’m from out of town, etc. this man left a review that the seating wasn’t good, too small - that is incorrect. Also, this reviewer didn’t have anything to drink or anything to eat… why would you review? I’m just trying to stand up for the Mom & Pop Coffee Shops out here. Shut up, Will.

I was walking by this place and saw a sign from the road that said “coffee shop” on a old looking industrial sort of brick wall. I thought “oh cool! A vintage coffee shop sign.” Then I started to think that there may actually be a coffee shop there as well. Very nondescript. The graduate is a hotel. And the coffee shop is actually inside the “check in” lobby. Not even that- this company roasts their own coffee. And it’s great! I almost feel bad leaving a review and posting photos because it is obviously a secret spot. But I am in love with the aesthetic on the inside. Will definitely be frequenting this spot.

Super cool little place, however very overpriced. Located in the hotels so it is very aesthetic and was decorated beautifully. Unfortuantly, felt as if I was paying for the decor over the breakfast & coffee.
