Debatably the best coffee in town and my personal favourite in the Midwest. Not the best place in Tulsa if your preference is specialty drinks (i.e. fancy lattes), but if you're a straight-up coffee fan this place is for you. My go-to is black coffee with one of their pastries.
The coffee:
These people are coffee perfectionists, and their general attention to detail really shows. I have literally never had black coffee even close to their quality. They roast their own beans twice a week so it's always fresh, and is not burnt or overly acidic. Each roast is its own great blend of flavour.
The food:
This is not a spot to come for meals other than a light breakfast, but they do have an excellent selection of baked goods. These include staples like your standard loaves and coffee cakes, but often include more adventurous flavours like ginger donuts and pepper scones. The pastries are often made specifically to pair with a featured roast--ask the baristas for recommendations.
The atmosphere:
Now in a new location on Boulder, this is one of the nicer atmospheres in Tulsa. Now housed in a large reconstructed 1800's barn, this location combines rustic charm with clean, modern lines. The floor plan feels open and spacious, yet they've made use of multiple levels to create nooks and crannies to curl up in relative privacy. As with the old location, there is plenty of seating and it is fairly quiet. Less of the live music and open mic vibe of Tulsa's other coffee shops, but a good choice for meetings, studying, or conversations you actually want to hear. The baristas are friendly and professional, and really know the coffee.
