Whether you’re looking for a specialty latte, a mug of matcha or a cozy bookstore cafe, you’re never far from your next caffeine fix in Oklahoma City. Great coffee takes many forms, as locally loved shops continue to thrive alongside a growing variety of contemporary cafes, inventive drive-thrus and leisurely lounges.
Downtown & Midtown Favorites
In City Center, coffee shops are as convenient as they are crafty, offering unique options for visitors and locals alike. Clarity Coffee’s flagship location features sustainably roasted single-origin coffee in a sleek space, as well as tasty seasonal specials, like coconut mochas, blood orange lattes and cold-brew slushies.
A multi-roaster cafe in Deep Deuce, Willow Coffee keeps things fresh with seasonal latte specials, like pineapple upside-down lattes and pour-overs made from different roasters. The brick-and-mortar location of a double-decker coffee bus, Junction Coffee, is an Automobile Alley staple that roasts coffee in small batches, alongside rotating specials like biscotti lattes, in an industrial-chic space.
At Stitch Cafe, a sunny spot known for its breakfast tacos and tarts, customers can choose between cereal milk lattes, draft cold-brew and single-cup coffees brewed to order, while EÔTÉ is a stylish subterranean shop that brews farm-fresh, small-batch coffees from the likes of Burundi and Nicaragua. Don’t miss Elemental Coffee, OKC’s first coffee-roaster, for espresso-spiked specials (such as banana cream pie lattes) and some of the best pastries in town.
Matcha & Coffee Spots
Beyond coffee, some OKC cafes specialize in creative matcha offerings and Asian novelties. In the Asian District, HQ Coffee offers a modern drive-thru menu, like black sesame lattes and ube matcha, while nearby Egg and CàPhê is a family-owned Vietnamese cafe that slow drips coffee from Buôn Ma Thuột, blending it with sweetened condensed milk for a creamy finish (other favorites include iced coffee topped with egg foam and matcha lattes with pandan foam).
Along with toast and coffee, you’ll find iced matcha, lavender lemonades, and chai lattes at cozy and colorful Toast & Coffee, and at 30th Street Market, matcha, cold-brew and smoothies share a menu with rotating specials like blueberry lattes and passionfruit-strawberry tea.
Locally Loved Coffee Shops
Throughout OKC, neighborhood favorites keep loyal customers fueled. As much about community as they are caffeine, locally loved coffee shops include The Red Cup, where kitschy art, vegan comfort food and a resident rooster named Coco make for one of the quirkiest coffee shops in the city.
In the Innovation District, coffee and culture brew side-by-side at Culture Coffee, a Black-owned cafe that emphasizes a diverse atmosphere where customers can sip pour-overs, cold-brew and seasonal lattes. And at Zero Tolerance Coffee & Chocolate, guests can pair freshly roasted coffee beans with bean-to-bar chocolates.
For coffee on the go, drop by Gold Dome Coffee, a friendly drive-thru slinging farm-to-table coffee and fun specials like sarsaparilla matcha and banana foam lattes.
Coffee in Bookstores
The only thing that pairs better with coffee than donuts is coffee with a good book. Offering coffee in cozy, slower-paced environments that invite lounging, bookstore cafes include Full Circle Bookstore, the largest independent bookstore in the city, with fireplaces and comfy crannies for reading and sipping. Second Story Books is another warm and welcoming space, perfect for lattes and literature and Bookish is a quirky used bookstore with an on-site cafe and plenty of cozy corners to linger.
If looking for a quick cup on the go, a mug of matcha or a local favorite to sip and savor, OKC’s coffee shops offer something for everyone. Explore even more options below!
