Gary M.

i've been hitting cities outside of tulsa lately & when i make these trips, i'm reminded on things i lookout for once i hit a city i don't usually visit: gas stations + corner stores, grocery stores & coffee shops. this time around after making an art drop-off, me & the friends i was with made a stop at gray owl coffee that was up the street from where the drop-off was made. before we walk in, there's antique heavy looking door that looks like something i'd like in my house. walking in, the spot is super spacious & the people there were super friendly. the one thing that stood out to me on the menu is exactly what i ordered, the sparkling cold brew (sparkling water + cold brew). also, they had some syrups & usually i go with a syrup when i'm a spot i've never tried before. i went with the french toast syrup because i can't go wrong with anything french toast-related, right? it was really good & even without the syrup, i'd order the sparkling cold brew over & over again. i paired my cold brew with a rose pistachio cardamom bun. it was talking to me when i was looking at the display with the other goodies (their scones looked really really good). the pastry was light & the right amount of sweetness, went well with the cold brew. again, the workers there were super nice & the one who was taking orders along with another who was making the drinks carried a convo the majority of the time i was there placing my order.

Imagine a warm hug in a coffee - that's anything from Gray Owl! This place is wonderful and really feels like a community-focused coffee shop. They offer a discount for bringing your own glass, board games, and $1 day-old pastries for a discount! I got a hot latte with maple syrup and wow, it was fantastic. Sweet and comforting, I thought it was perfect for a rainy day. I also got an apple muffin with real baked apples inside. This was amazing. Service was great, and the drink was prepared quickly! There are so many seating options, making it great for meeting with friends and socializing. There are many great coffee shops in Norman, but I highly recommend this one! One heads up is that parking can be a bit difficult or paid (during the week) in the lot across the street, so I would park on Main and walk if possible!

16 oz Dirty Chai with oat milk and three shots

This is my favorite coffee shop in Norman. It's got a few different seating areas, a bar you can sit at, and huge tables with study lamps and outlets nearby for studying or working. It's usually a bit dark inside, but as someone who gets frequent headaches, I find it preferable. The staff is always friendly, but never in an annoying, disingenuous way. They have really good pasties and muffins, most of which are vegan, if that's your thing. They offer lots of types of plant based milks including soy (I prefer soy due to its higher protein content and I have scoured for peer reviewed research and there isn't anything out there saying soy is bad for anyone). You can't order anything bad here. I love their lattes, they know how to make a cappuccino with foam and their drip coffee is usually excellent and not over roasted like a lot of the chains in the area.

Blueberry Lavender Latte with Vegan Muffin

I really like that they are worker owned and that makes me happy that I can support that when I visit. They always seem super busy with a line when I stop by. I love the huge table they have at the front- it's perfect for crafting. The coffee itself- I liked the blueberry syrup however my drink had this thick weird layer on top (I think maybe it was the soy milk curdling from the high temp?) I'll have to try it with oat milk next time. The vegan muffin was okay, not the worst but also not the best vegan baked good I've had.

Red pepper quiche, grapefruit olive oil cake, everything bagel and cream cheese, cardamom latte.

Such a cute spot, plenty of seating and nice big tables. The seasonal cardamom latte was sweetened just right. The quiche and homemade bagels were also tasty.

Autumn Spice Iced Latte
Abigail C.

Gray Owl is an absolute staple. I love their baked goods. I love their coffee (especially since they now use Clarity beans). I love the different seating options even though it can get kind of tough during peak study times to find a seat. I'm quite fond of the weird old circle couch in the back or the extra long bar if I don't have any homework I need to work on. The back patio is cool too. I think they make an almost perfectly balanced iced latte (just less milk than most places haha). The autumn spice flavoring they've had the past few months has been lovely. Also, I rarely take advantage of it, but it's really fun to get a pot of tea if you plan to sit for a while. Their music selection is reliably interesting. I will reminisce forever on the summer of 2018 when they played Mitski's Be the Cowboy front to back one day while I was sitting there... iconic. It's the way a college town coffee shop is supposed to be. Also, I appreciate the little sign by the register that requests cash instead of card.

Cute place to relax and grab a coffee. Go next door and check out the antique shop while you're there!

I love sitting in this coffee shop! It's very chill with an amazing service and friendly staff. You get your drink quickly, and the coffee is incredibly aromatic. I also love their lavender lemonade! It has subtle hints of lavender and just a touch of sugar, making it refreshingly delightful.

Super cute little coffee shop! I tried and iced oat milk latte with lavender and it was delicious! My boyfriend had the chai and it was pretty good too. They had some cool options that I'd definitely want to come back and try. Fast and friendly service too.

It's nice that they are eco friendly and what's better than sitting drinking some coffee knowing you're saving the planet at the same time.
