    Toasty chocolate chip cookie and Sherpa chai
    Elaine M.

    Corner coffee shop with eclectic vibe! I loved the selection of sweet eats and grabbed a chocolate chip cookie to go with my Sherpa Chai latte (with almond milk). It was such a cozy combo. Get the cookie warmed up, you won't regret it! Great shop to craft, read, meet up with friends.. and has a beautifully curated little shop as well.

    Amazing place & cause! I love supporting them! Their coffee is delicious! The service is great & the staff is wonderful! They also do a great job keeping the place clean & cozy!

    I love this place. Their food is good and has a broader selection than just bakery items. They have interesting drinks. Staff is always above and beyond friendly. Perfect outdoor patio for a nice day or to go for a walk around midtown.

    This is an adorable coffee shop with delicious drinks and treats. The baristas were all so nice. It's cute and cozy inside too. I tried a granny's apple chai, and it was the best chai I've ever had.

    My sister and I just happened to come by this quaint little coffee place called, "Not Your Average Joe", which is really nice and charming. Working the front counter was run by an awesome trio Abbi, Isaac, and Donovan who were all cheerful and very welcoming. The atmosphere is very quiet, warm and very inviting. We had two scones, blueberry scone and apricot scone Americano coffee and bottle water. Y'all need to come check out this place. It's truly awesome.

    This spot is one of my all time favorites, service is amazing, the mission is amazing! My iced latte with oat milk top of the line! If your looking for a spot that takes service to a high level, this is your spot! Oh and the chorizo burrito is world class! Coach "aka the coffee guy" Berokoff

    Came to "Not Your Average Joe" coffee shop in Midtown for the first time today and was surprised by the unexpectedly comfy interior. The vines of green plants growing across the ceiling, an eclectic mix of comfortable seating, and a variety of lights, paint colors, and fun art. The menu is coffee, sandwiches, breakfast items, protein balls, etc. I got the turkey sandwich and potato soup and both were amazing. My friend got an open faced roast beef sandwich which was also good. We also got a turtle latte and spicy chai which were good. The service was friendly. We took a seat after we ordered and they brought our items directly to us. After we ordered we found out that the coffee shop was actually a non profit that employs individuals with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities. Eat great and do good. Can't beat that.

    Cool spot with nice coffee and iced drink selections. Nice audio set-up as well. Their iced chai (vanilla and honey flavor) is good. Service was also prompt. Recommended!

    I came here after a long night shift and it was incredible!!! The vibe inside is so cute and cozy. The breakfast burrito was absolutely delicious and just was I was looking for. I got a decaf latte to try and it was just what I needed. The staff was so incredibly nice I would go back just to interact with them again!

    Good service. Delicious iced latte and yummy warm lemon scone. Love that it's small, not busy and good street view. They also sell other drinks, bagged coffee, jam, apparel. It's nice and clean. It's just a cozy little bit on a rainy, summer day. I'll define come back, and hopefully make use of the patio

    I've come here a few different times and I think it's found my favorite drink. It's the jasmine tea! Don't get me wrong, I do love coffee, but the tea is so good when it's cold outside and you don't want something too heavy. I get mine with two packets of Splenda and I'm good to go! I like to come in here to study. There are a few tables and a variety of chairs to sit on. It's very cozy inside and I like the decorations. It makes it seem like it's someone house kind of. I haven't tried any of the food, so this is solely based on my coffee and tea experiences. They even have a walk up window, so there's no excuse not to try it.

    small Iced matcha with whole milk.

    My new favorite place in midtown. I mean, the staff was wonderful. William, our cashier, very consistent and kind! He was extremely helpful. My dad and I ordered a hot drip coffee, an iced matcha, a lemon poppyseed muffin, and what I believe is a scone. So good! The matcha wasn't earthy which was wonderful. The store itself is very laid back and colourful. I felt very down to earth and relaxed there. Not your average Joe has wifi for all customers, great service, great food, lovely merch, and a welcoming atmosphere. We love you!

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.

I ordered a grilled chai tea latte and a cookie, which sounded simple but felt thoughtfully done. The chai had a deep, spiced aroma the moment it hit the table. It wasn't overly sweet, and the warmth of the spices came through clearly with each sip. There was a smooth, velvety texture that made it especially comforting. The cookie was fresh and slightly crisp around the edges with a soft center. It tasted homemade rather than mass-produced, with just the right balance of sweetness to pair with the drink without overwhelming it. The café itself has a welcoming, lived-in charm. Plenty of natural light, a steady hum of conversation, and people either catching up with friends or working on laptops. The baristas were attentive and genuinely friendly, creating an easygoing atmosphere that made it hard to leave.

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.

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.)
