OK so there are now a million coffee shops here, right? And coffee is pretty much the same, right??? Even tea isn't that different, RIGHT?????? Ergo, basically all the shops are the same and I should just go to wherever is closest to me.
WRONG.
It's true that there are tons of coffee shops and study spots in town, but they're all so different! Some are busy bee shops with constantly changing customers, some are casual spots with lots of food to munch, and some are in a local OKC boutique???? Just Woodshed! This place was so cool, and it's flush with the stores Blue 7 and Just OK (2 spots I love to waste time in anyway). I'll be frank, I walked around the entire retail complex looking for this place. It's HARD to find. If you have similar problems, it's the sort of unlabeled doors in between Just OK and that gourmet popcorn place on May Ave. If you're scared to make a fool of yourself by entering a retail space that might just be in construction, go through the Blue 7 doors and continue South through the store! You'll end up in a quaint and minimalist coffee shop with some really great cork bar tops (standing studiers, rejoice). It's a hidden gem for anyone needing a place to study but also needed to take brief walks through a really cool retail space (built in study breaks!).
Even better, though, is the SERVICE. These employees are so welcoming, so warm, and so good at their jobs! Plus, they remember their regulars' orders! And I'm not talking every-day-regulars, I mean my friends who have gone maybe a handful of times a month to study. Amazing! Don't worry, they know how to make some great coffee, too. Everyone is very knowledgeable about the menu, and it helps when you look at their long list of teas but aren't sure what to get. Plus, in true retail fashion, they have an entire shelving unit of brewing tools for purchase. In case you ever get inspired and want to create your own awesome beverages....
Just go here! And love it! And go back! And then take your friends! But not too many because I will always need to have a seat here ;-) read more
