Hot drinks and winter weather go hand in hand, even in relatively warm states like Oklahoma. You can often find our real estate agents popping into Tulsa's many cafes between home showings, enjoying a quiet moment in a cozy space before heading out to help another client. Does that sound like heaven to you? Join us at these five comfy local cafes.
Between all the warm wooden finishes and invitingly plush seating, PonyCoffee's cheery shop space looks like it could belong to someone's grandma. The cafe uses their signature GiddyUp! espresso blend to whip up bold and energizing lattes, cortados, macchiatos, and more. They also offer a rotating selection of drip coffee roasts and a massive 96-ounce coffee tote perfect for morning meetings.
Not a coffee fan? No problem. Their Matcha is one of their most popular menu items, blending premium green tea powder with hot whole, almond, or oat milk. Their deluxe hot chocolate is also worth a special mention. Made with Ghirardelli chocolate mix and topped with whipped cream, marshmallows, and an optional sprinkle of cinnamon dust, sipping it will make you feel like a kid again.
Wildflower Cafe has been welcoming travelers from the famous Route 66 highway since 2021. They've got hot drinks like coffee, tea, and hot chocolate to ward off the winter chill, but their food is what keeps their customers coming back. You can order:
They're open from 7 AM to 3 PM every day, but the small space can get crowded during busier times. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends.
Chimera Cafe is located inside a renovated industrial building in Tulsa's vibrant Arts District. Their drip coffee, lattes, and cappuccinos fuel the work of local artists and art lovers alike. They also have a few caffeine-free hot drinks for those who are trying to cut back. We love their Golden Potion, a rich saffron-colored creation featuring a blend of ginger, turmeric, and other spices mixed with vanilla and hot milk.
All their drinks can be made with almond or soy milk for a small upcharge. Many of their pastries and other items are vegan, making this place great for folks following a plant-based diet.
Shades of Brown Coffee and Art combines great coffee with intriguing local art to create a vibrant space bursting with creative spirit. Their hot drink menu features more than a dozen beverages, including seasonal selections like:
Customers are welcome to enjoy the art on display or read the books tucked away in the reading corner. As a bonus, the shop is also open much later than most other non-chain coffee places in the area – until 10 PM on Sunday through Thursday and until 11 PM on Friday and Saturday.
Topeca Coffee set themselves apart with its hands-on approach to coffee sourcing. Most of the roasts they serve start from beans grown by the owners on farms in El Salvador. The rest are made with single-origin beans roasted in-house to bring out their unique flavors.
They serve several roasts at their Boston Avenue location in the old Philcade building, including their signature Breakfast Blend and their subtly spicy Kenya Kichwa. If you fall in love with your order, you can buy a bag of the same roast in-store or through the cafe's online shop.
Coffee shops are great for when you're out on the town, but nothing beats curling up on the couch with a hot drink in your own home. Our agents can help you find a cozy Tulsa home that lets you have the best of both worlds. Contact us today to get started.
