    Fresh pastry!

    Such a cute cafe on the north end of Auto Alley! Cafe Contemporary is in the lobby of the new Oklahoma Contemporary. Even though "cafe" is in its name, Cafe Contemporary is a casual dining experience that offers a full food and drinks menu. They even have happy hour with $6 cocktails from 3pm to 6pm. I'll have to return to the cafe for their happy hour specials. I was here to pick up lunch take-out. I thought I would be good with the Yogurt Bowl, BLT, and a dessert until I saw their awesome coffee bar. I added a Horchata Cold Brew to my order and it was perfect. The food was made to order with fresh ingredients. Everything was delicious. You can certainly tell the Chef and the rest of the team carefully curated their menu offerings. If you are doing takeout, be sure to call ahead so the food will be ready when you arrive. Otherwise, dining in is always an option. Welcome to Auto Alley, Cafe Contemporary!

    Homemade whipped ricotta plate. Very very fresh and not too sweet. 4/7/21

    Took my mom here after looking at their menu about a thousand times. It's literally in the contemporary art building. Everything is so clean and bright. Small little cafe and have to wear a mask but nice employees and good food. My wellness salad had great flavor but had too much kale and not enough portion of the toppings.

    Wow! This place is amazing. There are so many yummy food and drink options for all kinds of diets. Weston was very kind and helpful. I will be coming back again and again.

I would definitely recommend going there, especially for the interior design--it's the highlight of the place. The space is quite large; I didn't sit on the other side, but the area where I sat was very cozy, with comfortable chairs, mirrors, and lots of plants, which made it feel calm and welcoming. They also provide books, so if you're by yourself, you can work or read. If you're with friends, you can play games since they have those available too. It's a good spot for any group size, or even just a quick stop to grab a coffee. Parking can be a little tricky at first, especially if it's your first visit, but there is parking available near the café. It's located on the second floor, and they have clear signage everywhere, which makes it easy to find. Overall, it's a nice, chill hangout space.

Inside, there is lots of seating options in the two separate rooms with couch seating, small and large tables, and hangout spaces. Theres usually a line to order but it goes by pretty quick and the wait isn't long! We went on a Friday around 8:30pm and parking was an issue - the lot was full from people using it for surrounding venues. The parking is free if you validate in Perets otherwise, it's expensive. Overall, the vibe is chill and great. The dessert and coffee is delicious. And it's a fun place to be early or late evening. (Plus, they occasionally have events and live music.)

    As a traveler through town, Elemental Coffee closed out my OKC visit with an espresso fueled and…read morespunky bang! This coffee shop was a vibe! Such a cute spot with great big windows, ample seating, and local artwork. The coffee was great, and food was delicious. Everything was served hot and quickly. They're also dog friendly which was a huge plus - our little fur ball loved the pumpkin treat we got there too. I loved elemental coffee so much that even though I am not local to the cafe, I ordered a gift card for a co worker in the area on a bad day - because I trust this place can brighten most anyone's day. If I am ever back in OKC, you can guarantee my visit!

    $9.50 coffee shown attached. Does it get more expensive than that? At Elemental, probably. I…read moreordered an iced latte + a syrup, with banana cold foam ($1) on top. That price isn't even including a tip. This place has always been pricier than the rest, but a couple years ago they used to give your to-go coffees in a mason jar so it was justified. Now the mason jars are gone, the cups are barely bigger than a claw clip, and somehow they're charging even more. This was my fourth time here and I wanted to give them another shot, but it'll have to be my last try. You can get much better coffee at a much more fair price at other places in the city. The only strength Elemental has is that it has a bit longer food menu than other cafes, but if you're paying more than $20 for a tiny coffee and a mediocre snack then you are wasting your time and money. Also, I don't expect you to yell a welcome or fall on your knees to greet me when I walk in, but the service here is miserable and always has been. The barista asked me how I was doing, to which I said good thank you, then just stared at me for a good few seconds. I guess that means go ahead and order here. A simple "what would you like today" would suffice. Most places you get used to waiting a second while the barista prepares the system, so if that's not the case, just say something. Then they hand you your to-go drink without a lid, because the $9.50 you spent doesn't cover that level of labor and you need to do it yourself. I love to support our local coffee shops here in OKC, but you'll never find me recommending Elemental. Which is a shame, because the mason jars in my cabinet at home are a good reminder of when they served unique and fairly priced coffee. I am so thoroughly disappointed that I made an account just to say this. At least the espresso is okay.
