I'm always in this area & I've seen nor heard of this place till (literally) a little under a week ago. I'm going through a taco phase so I went ahead & gave them a chance since I saw the section they had for them. I ordered the Bison Street Tacos. Local bison, cilantro, salads verde (which was incredible) & chipotle crema. The bison was cooked in sweet agave chili sauce. Pepper jack cheese was added as well. The taco had all types of kick to it, which I enjoy, I love spicy food. Also, the waiter offered two special hot sauces, they really didn't have a name for them, but they were better than any hot sauce I've ever tried (thus far). (If you look at my pics) the sauce of the left was the extreme hot one, while the one on the right was sweet with a spicy kick to it. The tacos came with a seasonal salad, which was refreshing. Carrots, yellow tomatoes, greens & some type of dressing that could've been strawberry/blueberry/some type of berry. This could be my new favorite place, with my taco addiction that's going on right now. They even serve breakfast tacos, where you can mix & match. Also, all kinds of cocktails & coffee as well. read more

First impressions are powerful. Plastic chairs, diner tables, one cheap 1960's couch, spartan decor. I asked for a Latte, and that they add the sugar before so I wouldn't ruin the foam, and I was told, "we can't do that". I then ordered an iced caramel macchiato, and I was told "we can't do that". They could only do an iced Latte or mocha. The service was non-accomodating, and not particularly friendly, but not rude. The Latte was fair, but a bit weak. The iced mocha was good, but a bit small, served in a highball glass from the bar. The full bar is nice if you prefer a cocktail or glass of wine. The music was not good. Obviously little-known independent musicians to display their support of the arts. Even so, poor choices, ranging from American Indian chant-like songs, to W Hotel lounge music. Although I did not eat, the food menu is pretty extensive, breakfast and lunch. read more

The food was great!! But service was terrible. The cashier was the most unwelcoming person. And my order was messed up 2 times. The first time they put it in a Togo bag after I said it was for here and the second time they forgot the egg that I paid extra for. Very disappointed because they had great reviews. (There water cups were also unclean and had lipstick stains on them) read more

#fatjared say... I really enjoyed this place and I know if you visit you'll like it too! Not excited enough to give a perfect rating but it was darn close! For my reviews I have to have 0 complaints for it to be a perfect score! I am BERY strict about this, and I have given places 4 that I wanted to give 5. Chimera is very close to 5 stars for me. The area is fun, right in the Arts district. It's got fresh pastries that seem to be made in house, though I didn't ask. The Latte' my fiance' got was really tasty, and she said it was one of the better ones she has had. I liked my cold brew ALOT! Never had chai in my cold brew before. It gave it a fun flavor and made it stand out. Looking back on it though it just wasn't enough beverage for the price. The merch in there is cool, they have fun artwork, it's definitely more of a hipster feel in here, which usually means more local and I LOVE local! But it seemed to me the prices were just a bit much, and it came in a 12oz cup but there was at least 8 oz of ice. Overall I know it's nit picky, but I wasn't 100% thrilled and jazzed to want to come back. While the flavors were great and the staff was nice, it just wasn't perfect for me with the price and size of what I got. I still highly recommend going because it is a fun spot and you'll enjoy what you get. Just not perfect! read more

Went here for the first time on date day with my husband. The customer service was so amazing. They helped us navigate the menu and pick the best option.

I really liked it! I got the lox with an egg added. It was very good. Lots of space and outlets to work remotely. If you have calls or something that you take for work, don't recommend as it for a little loud at times. But generally great vibe for pounding out admin tasks and getting a good breakfast, lunch, and coffee. Staff was friendly. Wish wifi password was more visible!

Get the Camaro. One of the most delicious , well-balanced vegan sandwiches I have ever had. The spicy bbq sauce and mustard goes perfectly with the pickled slaw. And the tofu was thinly sliced and crispy. Pairs wonderfully with a refreshing glass of lavender lemonade. read more

Customer service was excellent. Ambience and vibe are lovely. My hot tea and setup was great. Avocado toast missed the mark. Not the right bread choice, and the pico de gallo as a main topping was not appetizing. Could use a simpler, tastier recipe. Roasted potatoes were soggy, and had no crispiness. Baked goods looked great, though I did not taste. Nice spot, overall! read more

I'm yet to actually go to this location, but we've had a variety of breakfast tacos delivered to my work by a vendor, which makes him the most important man in the building during that time. We usually get the potato taco, bacon taco and spinach/feta taco. There isn't a bad choice from here to date. Judging by the pictures there is a lot more I'm missing out on. I'll see you soon, Chimera. read more

How did I not write a review for this restaurant when I ate here two times during my trip to Tulsa? I LOVE this restaurant. You would never even guess that it was vegan. The food is just f*cking good. That's how strong my memory was of this place. Everything we ate was so delicious. The coffee was perfectly made to order as was every food item. I remember having amazingly delicious tacos and breakfast pastries. This is a reason to come to Tulsa. The food here is stellar. Service is easy and friendly. Restaurant decor is as cute as can be. Plenty of seating. Bus your own table. read more

Stopped here for some lunch on my way to Dallas. Wanted to try their biscuits and gravy but it said it sold out so I settled for the bourbon bbq sandwich. I didn't even realize it didn't even have any meat on it, they use jackfruit instead. Was never really a fan of bbq jackfruit but I only had it once before back home. Anyways, it's very good on the sandwich when combined with the slaw for that crunch. On its own, it's meh for me, would prefer meat. It came with tortilla chips which I didn't expect but it actually can pair nicely with the jackfruit if you have some left over. Nice area and is definitely a nice place to stop by. read more

This place is awesome until you look at the food menu, they're trying very hard to seem healthy by offering tofu but they don't even offer chicken. Everything else here is pork based traditional American BS food. Cover up the fact the the food isn't flavorful by adding pork and bacon. read more

First time I came here I thought I had accidentally jumped on the L train and taken it to Williamsburg, Brooklyn. And I say that because this is one of the first restaurants I had been to in Tulsa straight from my visit from NYC, and I was like, "Oh, hey, magic is real because I've been magically transported to Brooklyn." Alas, I was actually in Tulsa all along inside a coffee spot that has some pretty good options, and pretty good coffee and is absolutely a haven for hipsters and Gen-Zers. First up was their Avocado Toast with pico de gallo, micro greens, sourdough bread, carrot habanero cream, tofu quest fresco and an over medium fried egg. I absolutely loved every bite of this dish and really wish I had more of the carrot habanero cream which was friggin' great (awesome kick to it). Second up was their Super Veggie Wrap with portobello, bell pepper, onion, tomato sautéed in garlic & ginger with spring mix, crema and cilantro in a flour tortilla with cashew provolone. Hearty, delicious, a bit messy, but well worth your bites and very filling. I dig this spot and look forward to heading back here and trying out other healthy dishes from their menu, which is a great alternative to a lot of the heavier types of food offered around in the neighborhood. read more

Some of the best breakfast taco's I've had! I wish the green eggs and ham actually contained ham though. I would have preferred that over the bacon they put in it. Flavors were great. Maybe a tad overpriced, but the food is good enough to warrant it. Lots of vegan options too. Even their oatmeal was unique with a peanut butter and banana flavoring. They shouldn't be charging so much for toppings in my opinion. I mean come on, $1 for a few nuts and another $1 for some dried berries? Maybe next time I'll bring my own trail mix from Walmart. read more

I spend probably too much time here but I just simply adore Chimera! Welcome vegans, vegetarians, meat eaters and all in between! This is a place that has something for any craving! Whether you're wanting breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, coffee, a spot to study or a cocktail/beer...look no further! For that sweet tooth you've got tons of yummy donuts to choose from. Sometimes other types of pastries, including fig rolls! Some of the best crafted cafe you can find as well as house cocktails to accompany your meal! The breakfast is likely my favorite offerings here, freshly made, locally sourced and mass bursts of a flavor, how can you go wrong?? Check out the menu and head down there and support a great local spot! read more

Seems like a cool spot, but would not recommend for a chai latte. I hope to try some of their coffee or food options but my first impression was admittedly not super great. The chai was like drinking warm milk with giant pockets of dry cinnamon :( read more

This review is long overdue, I've been coming to Chimera for years and it's one of my top 5 recommended places to try when people come in from out of town. It's also a good spot to grab dinner before a show at Cain's Ballroom, Brady Theater, or Guthrie Green because of its superb location. Chimera now even has it's own little venue area for shows/events in the back so check that out if you want to come to a show or need a place to host something. Traditionally, Chimera is my go to brunch spot in Tulsa. Great coffee selection and they are always doing cool new things and sourcing fantastic coffee most of which is local. I like the fast casual set up because it allows more freedom than a traditional table service set up. I like that if I need more water, I just walk over and get some. Service here has always been good. I've been here dozens of times and I've never had a bad experience. One of my favorite things about Chimera is the variety offered. You can get everything from a great cup of gourmet coffee to local draft beer to a decked out cocktail while also enjoying a perfectly crafted meal. A lot of places have great coffee and a lot of places have great food, but Chimera is the best of both worlds. As every other review mentions, the tacos here are killer. They serve breakfast tacos and dinner tacos (for times served I'd recommend checking their website because it could change). The Disappearer is my favorite breakfast taco. It's a classic with egg, bacon cheddar, chipotle crema, and cilantro. My favorite lunch/dinner item is a new discovery: the Bluebird sandwich. The Bluebird sandwich has grilled chicken, bacon, pickled blueberry smash, brie, mayo, and tons of flavor. Sandwiches are served with veggies chips or carrots and hummus. The menu is pretty versatile with awesome vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. What I really love about Chimera though is the attention to detail. It's the little things that matter. Like how the silverware is wrapped with twine and tied with a tiny bow, the fruit cup is artfully arranged with a wide variety of fruits (not just cantaloupe-seriously, it's beautiful), and the art/decor just makes you feel like you've stepped into somewhere special. This is the only place I know that has truly gender neutral restrooms (way before that was even a thing). read more

Vegan eats done right! If you're looking for a restaurant that has several vegetarian and vegan offerings, that taste good, then Chimera is for you. Vegan/Vegetarian options in Tulsa seem to be rather limited, however Chimera has done a great job in designing lots of menu options that cater to this culinary niche. Food: We ate here twice during the Williams Route 66 marathon. Ann: Day 1 and 2: Twinster's Vegan Plate - Loved it! Tofu scramble and cashew spread were particularly noteworthy! Me: Day 1: Aeropress 8 oz hot coffee, Auntie's Oatmeal, Toast - I like a dark-roast coffee, so I didn't enjoy the aggressively-brewed light-roast at all. Oatmeal was a bit dry but I added some steaming hot water and some salt, and that fixed it. Wheat toast, cashew and mango spreads were good. Day 2: Daydream Nation Bowl - Outstanding! I was a little skeptical about having black beans for breakfast, but this bowl was fantastic! The chipotle crema added a rich and smooth texture to the bowl. Atmosphere: Retro, art-decco, coffee-house vibe Parking: Limited parallel street-front parking Price: For breakfast/brunch, for a party of two, expect to spend between $30-$45. Service: Courteous, friendly, and moderately quick. Seating: The restaurant itself has a small-medium footprint with limited floor seating. There is additional seating at the bar. Chimera seems to be a very popular eatery in downtown Tulsa and on both visits there was a line of at least 8-10 people in the morning - arriving early is highly recommended. read more

Two thumbs up for Chimera! I came here for breakfast on Sunday and was really digging this place. You can see that it's a popular spot. We came in around 9:30 and it had a decent crowd and then more & more people trickled in as the morning progressed. It's a very chill spot. Cute atmosphere. It's got a bit of a hipster vibe, but it's still a good place to grab breakfast for all ages. Their breakfast menu was composed of breakfast tacos, bowls, and a couple of plated items. In the spirit of trying new things, I tried their Twinster's Vegan plate which was pretty delish. My friend went with good ole eggs, bacon and toast and was talking about how fresh it all was. I really enjoyed this spot. read more

Great food! I stopped by for a coffee since I was staying somewhere nearby. There was a line around 10:30 am on Sunday (about a 20+ minute wait to order), so I decided to try their avocado toast to see why everyone wanted to eat here. It was superb! I always love when a restaurant makes something their own and Chimera does this with their avocado toast. I recommend the dirty chai latte. I got mine iced. They were out of vanilla syrup for other lattes likely due to their popularity! read more

I probably can't add anything that others before me haven't said--Chimera is my favorite breakfast spot downtown, the place I suggest all visitors go for a healthy and local breakfast/lunch. They have an awesome selection for us vegetarians (and vegans) and also so meat eaters can still leAve feeing fulfilled. They have an awesome coffee bar (and full bar) if you're into that sort of thing along with your meal, and they've recently started a dinner service which has some awesome burgers and apps as well. This is an awesome space to come and get work done or have a nice neutral meeting space, and the event space they've opened in the back is now hosting lots of fun local events and music. If you're from or visiting Tulsa, Chimera is a MUST MUST MUST. read more

Chimera is a solid coffee and lunch spot in the Tulsa arts District. There are lots of offerings of coffee, such as poor overs, nitro cold brew's, and a range of typical coffee shop fare, in addition to homemade granola bars and other baked goods to complement the wide range of lunch options and even a selection of alcohol that I haven't tried yet. The food menu is arguably a bit expensive, but the ambience of the place is nice and the quality is certainly not lacking, so for those willing to shell out a bit this is a great place to stop and spend a few hours or just share a meal. read more

Some of the most fantastic breakfast tacos I have ever had! Highly recommended, we will definitely be back. I had two of them, the "Back to Primitive" and the "Green Eggs and Ham."

Still has good food but it seems that ever since the sister shop opened in Broken Arrow the service has gone downhill. You've been open for 10 years-is there not a way to get the food/coffee out quicker on your busy weekends without waiting an hour+? Other coffee shops that have way more volume have figured it out. read more
