Quiet and clean cafe with lovely Baristas on staff. Got an Americano in a charming mug and the chocolate mousse cake and enjoyed both. Thank you, team! (Bonus points for the neutral bathroom :)) read more

Elevated Grounds - Here for coffee!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Shawnee, Oklahoma

Great coffee and service. I really enjoyed the latte, I was impressed they use beans roasted by Coffee Slingers.

Friendly folks running the place. Good coffee. The proceeds are benefiting and touch people in ways most are ignorant of. Not much more to say. Give 'em a try. You'll be rewarded. read more

I just wated to say.. My granddaughter works here and loves it. She loves her boss ..and i know why. This boss really cares about her employees. I have worked many places and have been a boss of a restaurant myself. The owner aka boss goes above what most owners do. During the ice storm my granddaughters aunt was drover her to work and was having a difficult time. They called the owner and explained. She told them her safety was more important than getting to work. I know most bosses dont care. I want to publically want to thank her for worrying about her employees and not the almighty dollar. Thank you.. read more

Comfortable atmosphere and wonderful iced coffee and muffins. We enjoyed stopping in on our travels. Friendly fast service. read more

Elevated Grounds - Iced vanilla latte and a banana nut muffin delicious! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Shawnee, Oklahoma

So delicious as usual l loved it l need to start going there more but The only thing is that its so expensive But other than that its really good read more

Went to Shawnee for the day and stumbled upon this cozy coffee shop. It had a lot of great seating for such a small area. Plenty of couches and tables to choose from. The music wasn't distracting but quite pleasant to listen to while studying or working. The owner was very helpful and personable. There were a lot of options to choose from like coffee, boba, breakfast foods, and pastries. I first got an iced maple fudge latte, which was delicious. It was just enough sweetness. Then I got a tiger milk tea with boba. The owner helped explain what it was and the different flavor variations that boba tea shops can do. She also explained it was her personal recipe that they make in store. My husband got a watermelon slushee that he said had a real natural flavor to it which most places tend to have a very artificial flavor for any watermelon items. We both shared two mochi flavors which I especially enjoyed. One was taro and the other one had coconut on it. Would highly recommend and wish it was closer to home. Would love a coffee/boba shop like this in OKC read more

We're moving here from DFW and trying to find all our new stops. I love Boba tea and was so excited to see there's so many options at this cute coffee shop. I'm absolutely in love with how the cups come with the cute heart and the large red straw that is perfect for sipping the Boba through. This is going to be one of my new stops. I can't wait to try the lattes next. read more

Elevated Grounds - a hand holding a cup of bubble tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Shawnee, Oklahoma

I had a class in Shawnee and we wanted to run in after we ate as we only had an hour. There was only one guy working when we came in so it was understandable but it did take us a while to get three drinks. I bought some macaroons because I have no self control - they were very good but one did seem like it wasn't as fresh as the others. I also love macaroons so it is going to take more than that for me to not go back. Even though we did wait, the coffee was really good. I loved the environment, it was very laid back and cozy. Not sure when I would be back to Shawnee but I would like try out some other drinks on their menu (tea, smoothies). read more

Great coffee shop, got a cold brew with oat milk, it's nice and strong. Baristas we're very friendly and kind. Lots of yummy food options, and I'm tempted to come by later today for one of their amazing teas. Can't decide between rose bud, hibiscus berry or earl grey lavender. read more

Elevated Grounds - an open book and a cup of coffee on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Shawnee, Oklahoma

Takes way too long to get one coffee. Their menu is impossible to read, this place needs some serious help. It has potential but it's like they don't care about the quality. I ordered an Americano and whew it was not good I couldn't even drink it. I hope they get better read more

Wait was long in the drive thru. The guy in the window didn't seem very enthused to be there. The coffee was okay. Not satisfied nor dissatisfied. 5/10 read more

Amazing staff, always helpful. They have a really nice menu, and their portions are nice and big. They have baked goods and a huge array of drinks. (The coffee milk tea and piña colada smoothie are my faves) I highly recommend trying this locally owned business! read more

I am new to the area and decided to search for a local coffee and tea shop. There were more options than I typically find in small areas so I looked around online to learn more and decided to visit Elevated Grounds. I am glad that I did! It is a lovely little shop and I am pleased to leave its first Yelp review. One of the first things I noticed when walking up to the storefront is the cute little chalkboard sign. (I added a photo to the shop's listing here on Yelp.) A staff member crafted an inviting picture and message. I imagine that this is changed up periodically and I look forward to seeing what is created next. It may seem like a small touch but I can see little kids and other visitors specifically looking for "what's new" on the sign during each visit. Fun! Once inside, I saw that the shop is incredibly clean and well organized. There are a few t-shirts and stickers available for purchase and the drink offerings are plentiful. A couple of food options are available as well. The gentleman at the counter was friendly and described the drink I ordered quite well. He carefully prepped my order and made sure to put enough loose tea into the teabag. It was a great cup of tea! (I got the Earl Grey.) The staff members and owners clearly care about creating a safe and enjoyable experience for customers. My suggestions for the space would be to warm it up and personalize it a bit more to reflect the company's personality. Even if going for more of an industrial vibe, a few additional pops of color and a few more comfortable seating options would be nice. It doesn't have to look like Central Perk from Friends but a warmer feeling atmosphere would be more inviting. Additionally, while I know that the focus is on the beverages, it would be nice to see a few more food options. The baked goods looked delicious but I went early in the day and there were only a few pieces of two different options left. I asked if they had considered offering vegan options (even if just once in a while) and the barista mentioned that they were actually just discussing that issue that morning. They are considering adding vegan energy bites and, perhaps, some other such offerings. I thanked and encouraged them. While I know that Shawnee is not as vegan friendly (or vegetarian friendly) as other areas, the demand for these types of products is growing. Adding foods suitable for vegans opens up options for those practicing this lifestyle but also gives expanded options for other eaters. I appreciate their willingness to consider this. My visit to Elevated Grounds was enjoyable and I will definitely be back. I encourage others to support this new local business as well. Thanks for creating a lovely shop option for local residents and visitors, Elevated Grounds! I will see you soon. read more

Elevated Grounds - This cute sign was inside the front window (by the door) during my visit. I imagine that they change this up periodically. What's next? (-; - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Shawnee, Oklahoma

I love their bubble Tea there. Maybe about two or three times the tapioca wasn't fully cooked. But other than that the bubble tea is amazing! But today... I was kind of disappointed... The tapioca was fine but it was the milk tea this time... it tasted like chemicals, I was kind of scared that some kind of chemical accidentally got in there. then I realized that when I ordered it, it came in like 15 seconds. So,I don't know if the person who made it just rushed,but it didn't taste as good as it usually does. read more

This is a great coffee shop. I believe it is under new ownership as of the last month or so. I'm excited to see a shop in Shawnee that does coffee well. They offer pour over, espresso, machiatos, lattes, etc. The beans are roasted at Coffee Slingers in OKC which I can vouch are really good beans. They offer milk, soy, almond, and coconut milk options. The service staff is fantastic. Very friendly. They sell cool looking swag including shirts, custom ceramic mugs, and even unique ceramic V60 cones! read more

Finally a great coffee place near me! This place is wonderful. LOCAL FAMILY OWNED. The coffee is as good as some of the nice places I found living in Los Angeles, CA. Do yourself a favor, skip the Starbucks and drive a little more up the street and stop at this place! SO MUCH BETTER! read more

Atmosphere, of course well made drinks and that special touch you won't receive from mega coffee shops. Excellent Americano's

Eh it's just OK. The owner seems really rude and judgemental. I get bad vibes here, I'd rather go to the other coffee shops in Shawnee cause anywhere else has friendly faces AND good coffee read more

I'm not sure why this place is getting such high ratings. I drove up at 8:50 on Friday morning and there was one car in front of me. By 9:00 I was finally at the window. I ordered a 12 oz cappuccino and it was half full. When I asked about it, apparently that's normal. You only get 5 oz when you order 12 oz. I've had lots of coffee from lots of places and this has never happened anywhere else. I finally drove off at 9:15. I was there for 25 minutes with only one person in front of me.maybe it would have been worth it if the coffee was exceptional, but it wasn't. I was thoroughly disappointed. There are other coffee shops in town, that's where I'll be going. read more

The coffee is exceptional, but what I really love about this place is the boba, tea, and smoothies! We're used to only being able to get boba on the rare occasions that we're in OKC or Norman. I cannot tell you how excited I was to FINALLY have it served locally! The staff is extremely friendly and happy to answer any questions you have. I have only had one semi-off experience here, I ordered an iced matcha latte and was given a slightly green cup of milk on ice, had zero matcha flavor. I had never seen the young man that was working that day, so I chalked it up to him possibly being new. Even still, it will not deter me from coming back :) read more

Poor, slow, but friendly service. The owner charged me 3x Coffee Slinger's and 4x Starbucks prices for beans. When I called him on it he bragged that: "I am the owner I can charge whatever I want"... He got away with it too, and was proud of price-gouging me. He can charge what he wants, I can go where I want...which is NOT this place. read more
