Tinker Coffee – The Firehouse

Tinker Coffee – The Firehouse is a specialty coffee café located at 5555 N. Illinois St. in Indianapolis’s Butler-Tarkington neighborhood, housed in the historic former Indianapolis Fire Station 16. Part of Tinker Coffee Co. — founded in 2014 with its flagship roastery on W. 16th Street — the location operates as an all-day destination, serving espresso drinks, coffee, and breakfast items in the morning, then transitioning to beer, wine, low-ABV cocktails, and a casual dinner menu in the evening. It is Tinker’s sixth retail café and reflects the brand’s mission of making exceptional, accessibly sourced specialty coffee a welcoming part of the local community.
