Kirkwood Ave. Now serving a limited selection of food, it will offer its full menu of sandwiches and pastries starting Feb. 8\. Hours are 6:30 a.m. til 9 p.m.

The venue has already drawn customers. On a rainy Monday afternoon this week, a group of women were knitting in one corner while some members of the [Downtown Bloomington Inc.](https://www.downtownbloomington.com/) board checked out the space after their monthly meeting. That meeting was held in The Graduate’s main lobby nearby, with decor that includes vintage bleachers – though in a room that’s much more upscale than any high school gym.

Poindexter Coffee joins a crowded field of downtown Bloomington spots to grab coffee or tea. Those include:
