Every once in a while, I let my mood dictates my impression of a restaurant. This was one of those times. The night before my visit to Aurora, I did not lose money at the casino and went home early. I woke up at 7 AM the next day and it was raining. This was a perfect setup to go to popular breakfast diners. I walked in, sharply dressed and full of confidence. I truly believe that I got better service because of my outfit. I was looking sharp (dress shirt, chino pants, dress shoes, and my infamous yellow bow tie). I had the Farmer's Combo. I think it was good. As stated earlier, my mood dictated my impression of Aurora on this visit, AND THAT's PERFECTLY OKAY. read more

I absolutely adore Aurora and have ever since it's conception! The food here is awesome ! Although I miss the vegan tacos, so much Coffee is always amazing Service and atmosphere on point ! read more

If you didn't know better this place could have been on Melrose or Venice Beach, CA 5 stars for the ambiance... and the dirty chai.. My ONLY gripe, the kitchen needs to learn what Well Done means. Pink in the middle... not well done... still Moo'in! Hunger makes the best seasoning... read more

@jamesbeard, @zagat, I'm talking to you and all the other Oklahomans out there ... and all those non Oklahomans who are close enough to get here.... Get here. Aurora is a smallish and quint little eatery in OKC, that delivers BIG on customer service and food. Not only are the portions huge, they are incredibly delicious!!!! We had all breakfast, brunch items including their "fork and knife" biscuits and gravy which a wonderful buttermilk biscuit , sausage patty and scrambled egg( what!) smothered in a country gravy and cheddar cheese.. wth. Their side of roasted potatoes and cabbage may sound ... odd, but they are banging. Roasted baby potatoes with sliced purple, cabbage, and onions roasted to crispy perfection. Eggs Benedict Solid!! Made from scratch buttermilk Pancakes, solid!! Coffee, solid! Bloody Marys, rock solid.!!! Best of all, our hostess, Meg, made sure our coffee cups were always filled ensured that all the condiments were on the table. There was plenty of butter, syrup to go round. She made the experience that much better even instructing one of the other employees who we asked to take a picture of our group, where and how to take a picture due to the lighting conditions of the restaurant. Overall, this quaint little restaurant packs more flavor and ambience into its small footprint than any of the other larger chain restaurants and will be returning as soon as we have the opportunity to. If you're in or near OKC, do yourself a favor and get you Aurora. This place is fantastic. Thank you! read more

Got the order to go, but had a yogurt bowl and a hot "the basic" coffee. The yogurt bowl was a great way to start the day. The house made granola was fantastic! Provided additional texture and had great flavor. The coffee was quite tasty. Wasn't overly sweet, but just enough. Will likely stop for another while in town. read more

Food is so good and service is great. This is my favorite brunch spot! Much better than JAM.

Amazing! How have I missed this jem? The food and the atmosphere very comfortable and casual. Parking is near so just a short walk. You always should get on the waiting list as the place was packed. The food very fresh and seasoned perfectly. Loved the pulled pork, biscuits and hash potatoes. Squared everything away with a pineapple mimosas! read more

Aurora - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I went here on a Saturday morning when they opened at 8 am. Our party of 4 found a table we liked and were served promptly. This place had been on our short list of places to try for a few months, and we're glad that we were patient to line up our schedules so that we could try it together. I ordered my standard measuring stick for breakfast/brunch places: buttermilk pancakes. These were everything I want out of a stack of pancakes. They were served simply with butter and syrup. The texture was fluffy and light. I didn't need to use much syrup because it absorbed so quickly into the pancakes. They were served hot, so I got the pleasure of watching the butter melt almost instantly as I applied it to the middle and lower layers. The others in our group enjoyed their meals. A highlight was the chicken and waffles. We appreciated that they served this dish with bone-in fried chicken. In our opinion, too many restaurants are using chicken tenders instead of bone-in chicken pieces. The waffle was also spot on. The person who ordered it said that he would have liked it cooked more crispy, but he couldn't tell if the waffle simply got softer after sitting under the chicken while it made its way from the kitchen to our table. Our server took great care of us. He had recommendations ready for those of us who asked for them. I visited the restroom during our visit. I was impressed with how warm it is in there. That makes it more pleasant to do whatever it is that you need to do in there when the temperature outside is cold. Looking forward to the next visit to sample more of the menu -- especially that $6 burger during happy hour! read more

My wife and I tried Aurora Cafe for the first time today and really enjoyed it. I had the chicken and waffles and highly recommend it -- it was delicious. My wife's Eggs Benny Biscuit initially had an odd taste, but once we mentioned it, the staff and chef responded immediately, apologized, and remade it without hesitation. Mistakes happen, but the way they handled it was outstanding. Great food and excellent customer service -- we'll definitely be back. read more

This was my first visit to Aurora in a long while, and I came away impressed. The portions are large and prices are very reasonable. We were seated almost immediately. We could not have been treated better or had any better service. Everyone ordered something a little different, and being a sharing family, we were able to try a bit of everything. I ordered the sarsaparilla pulled pork hash with two over-medium eggs. The eggs were perfectly medium, the pulled pork was tender - it was such a nice little dish. Well, not little. I wasn't able to finish it. It came with a side of a smokey sauce (maybe that was the sarsaparilla?) that I added. It was nice on the pulled pork itself, but I'd be more judicious and not just pour it in the dish. Everyone else's dishes were good too. I will note the biscuits and pancakes were heavy, but still pretty good. I've already told several people about how much we enjoyed it. To find freshly prepared food and great service at a great price is pretty rare these days. read more

Our daughter brought us here for breakfast this past weekend. We were able to get on the waitlist so by the time we arrived our table was ready. (nice perk) Our server greeted us and got our drink order. When he returned, he then took our order. Salmon toast, Breakfast Burrito, Farmer's Combo and BLT. Breakfast Burrito, tasty and huge! Could easily have split it. The Farmer's Combo had all your morning favorites. The BLT was good. The Salmon toast was extremely salty. Almost inedible. Between the salt of the smoked salmon, capers and everything bagel seasoning it was too much. Barely ate one half and left the other. Our service was excellent; atmosphere is nice and great local shops around. The food was good, most likely will be back. We'll pass on the salmon toast. read more

Love the new location and brand new menu! I came here for dinner with my husband and 3 year old son this past Saturday evening around 6 pm. We have been to Aurora when it was in a different space and for brunch, and appreciated that this new location is more spacious. All the food was so delicious and amazing quality. The dinner menu including cocktails is amazing. Service was incredible too - I'm not sure the lack of being busy this evening was a contributing factor (there were only 2 other parties eating when we arrived), but regardless, our server was so attentive to us and friendly. Food: *Turkish Eggs* this was an appetizer we shared and even my toddler enjoyed it. Labneh, baba ganoush topped with radishes, sourdough bread slices, and 2 poached eggs with seasoning. It was the perfect starter and I think our favorite dish of the night. *Honey-Lemon Roasted Chicken* this chicken was so moist and juicy and there was PLENTY of it so I ended up taking this home and made shredded chicken tacos with it the day after. *Mashed Potatoes* served with brown gravy- this was the side I chose with my main dish of chicken and it satisfied my potatoes craving. Made from scratch, so smooth but also had a little texture to it. The gravy was wonderfully seasoned and delicious. *Louisana Red Snapper* this came with tortillas and salsa. My husband ordered this dish and I tried a little bit of the fish and it was absolutely delish! *Junior Breakfast*- I think that's what this dish was called. This dish was on the kids' menu and it came with 1 scrambled egg, a bowl of fruit, a biscuit with a side of butter and a side of strawberry jam. My son loved everything. I tried a bit of the biscuit and jam - and it was so fresh and I can tell this was homemade. We will definitely be coming back here! Have always loved Aurora and am happy to see them back in action! read more

There is free street parking in front of the restaurant. There weren't super busy so we got a table quickly. The interior is open with warm colors and lots of tables and bench seating. Its cute. There is a coffee and regular bar. The service was excellent. I wasn't a personal fan of the cabbage with the potatoes but my husband liked it. I thought the sourdough toast was excellent. (If you don't like butter let them know as they do butter the toast before it reaches the table). I liked the sausage better than the bacon. The eggs were cooked perfect. read more

Ana was an amazing server, super sweet. It was busy but not loud which I enjoyed, I loved the china plates. It felt whimsical but very cute. The sharable Turkish egg was to die for, I would come back every day just for that, I thought that was as good as it could get and then our meals came out. My brunch burger was delicious but what really stood out was the biscuits and gravy, I think it's definitely in my top two and I'm a foodie so that says a lot. I truly think any food you get here will be amazing, nothing disappointed and I was actually really impressed. I recommend coming here and would really like to emphasize to try the biscuits and gravy. read more

We came on a Sunday morning and waited in line on Yelp. The wait was pretty short for a brunch place in OKC which was nice. I got the knife and fork which was biscuits and gravy with scramble eggs, cheese and maple sausage. It was delicious! My boyfriend got the tomato jam biscuit and a pumpkin cream cheesecake pancake. The tomato jam was flavorful and the pancake was soooo good! Service was really good and the interior is super cute. Lots of pink and loved the holiday decor.

They have exceptional brunch items like breakfast tacos and sandwiches (like the BLT plus Avocado or the BLTA which I got, in addition to the breakfast tacos). An assortment of coffee, iced tea and other beverages, and their iced chai tea latte was great. Cool ambience (used to be Mexican Radio) and service from the server was prompt, attentive and excellent. Overall, very highly recommended! read more

Passing through OKC once again and this place was recommended. Perhaps one of the most obnoxiously smug and unprofessional restaurants I've ever been in. They really think they're something, however. As far as ambience, the service is interesting--I watched staff gossip openly and rudely about customers as they moved throughout the restaurant like a veritable high school. No real "service" from my experience, but a lot of sneering judgement in the form of unnecessary comments or observations. The food was okay for what it was, but you can tell the locals must be starved for options since they appear to think this is "high quality." Found a much better, far more professional restaurant around the corner. Absolutely not recommended. read more

food was great! a group of friends and i (5 people) went on a saturday morning (lunar new year celebration weekend) and the wait was about an hour. we got seated and ordered drinks, coffees which came out kind of slow. the food came out very quickly though! it was very busy though so i assume that's why service was a bit slow. it wasn't too loud where we were yelling but noisy enough to where you couldn't hear much of the table next to you. i would definitely go back, maybe on a weekday when it's quieter or in the evenings to try the dinner menu. i had the salmon toast: was cooked smoked salmon (not the typical smoked raw salmon but actually like cooked salmon lol) but it was very nice! bread was great. the pancake and biscuit was very yummy as well and the turkish eggs were very good. i also had a bite of the french toast which was very good but also really sweet. all of my friends really enjoyed their food as well! read more

Aurora - The Basic latte and Knife and Fork. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

It was decent. Not a lot of meat options. Which may be your thing. I got the braised pork biscuit and I enjoyed it. The meat didn't have a lot of flavor, but they put mustard in the biscuit as well and that was a delicious combo. My husband got the French toast. He said they were excellent. A good hardy French toast breakfast. Aurora is deceptively large on the inside. Not sure you could sit a large party easy, but it goes back quite a ways with lots of little table. Our waiter did a great job of keeping my water full. read more

I come here for brunch every Saturday. My personal go-tos are the avocado toast or salmon toast with a dirty chai. The dirty chai is great already, but it's even better if you get some nutella in it. I usually get there before 10am and don't have to wait, but wait times can get longer as you get further into the brunch time frame. The servers and baristas are all super friendly and food usually comes out pretty fast. read more
