  1. Sad that it didn’t make it because I think they’re one of the better coffees, but that area is probably oversaturated for coffee even if they were the best ones. Amelia’s and Patachou is in the same complex, and a remodeled Starbucks is down the street.

    1. …make that TWO Starbucks less than half a mile away to the north and west, plus TWO Tinker Coffee shops at 16 Tech and Methodist. Yeah, it’s a pretty saturated market.

  2. Good coffee indeed, but what about the other items on the menu? It felt like it was gunning for a refined hipster vibe that it failed to achieve. If I’m spending $11 for a breakfast sandwich that barely fits a saucer, I would hope there’s enough going on in it that I won’t be hungry afterward. That wasn’t the case there.

    Besides, a really densely populated neighborhood could support multiple coffee shops within a few blocks. But the Stutz complex has basically a vacant lot right across the street.

    Better to see homegrown Amelia’s survive. All in all a better establishment.

  3. Is it me or is every coffee shop now functionally a mini office park, basically unwelcoming to anybody that isn’t getting paid to send/receive emails?

  4. No surprise at the Stutz. Oversold and not enough population to support it. Once IU Health Methodist Hospital is complete, and the proposed adjacent apartments are built, then it probably could be supported.

  5. This side of downtown has great potential but has largely been stagnant for past decade, minus development with IU health to north. Many vacant lots surrounding stutz that could be developed to add density to support this shop. Until then, the “oversaturation” argument holds truth with a strong downtown coffee scene.
