I have been to May Picnic Table several times, and each visit never disappoints! Their wonderful drinks, food, quality, and service always tempts me to visit again and again. It is great to have a such a lovely space for food and matcha not too far from the UCO campus!
I love love love the Lavender Matcha out of the drinks I tried so far. It adds a light sweetness that compliments and highlights the natural elements of the matcha. Here, the texture of the matcha is so nice and smooth! I have yet to find a place in Oklahoma that makes matcha better than here. 🤍
I tried the Strawberry Matcha recently and can speak of it similarly! Although I personally like the Lavender Matcha more, the Strawberry exceeded expectations too. Usually with strawberry-flavored drinks, I tend to think it is too sweet, but this was perfect and not overwhelming at all! The added texture of the strawberry puree was fun and interesting as well!
As for food, I only tried the Bulgogi Kimbap, Gochujang Bowl, and Spicy Tuna Mayo Triangle Kimbap, but all of these are delicious too!
For the Bulgogi Kimbap, I got it with Sriracha Sauce (which did cost a little more with it), but it was a decent kimbap. For me, it is good for a lighter lunch.
The Gochujang Bowl is my favorite in terms of food at May Picnic Table. It is not overly spicy, but has a little kick as well as some sweetness! I enjoy all the textures of the combined ingredients. Overall, it was so tasty and filling!
When I went here with my partner, I tried a few bites of the Spicy Tuna Mayo Triangle Kimbap and that was definitely spicier. It was still good though!
Because of my partner’s dietary restrictions, we wanted to make sure it did not have any gluten before purchasing. The staff were so helpful and attentive during our visit, and we really appreciated it! We were told the Kewpie Mayo they used might have gluten, but my partner has not had an issue with that kind of mayo before thankfully. Even later on, my partner was fine!
We appreciate the heads up from Alice and another employee that was there at the time! They were awesome! While I enjoyed my matcha, my partner could enjoy something to eat. I always look forward to the next time I visit!
The inside is so clean, and there are various kinds of seating. The place is well decorated and the music adds to the experience but is just the right volume. It is so cute...
Read moreI thought I ordered jap chae but I was given tteokboki instead. I was looking forward to glass noodles, but the people behind the counter showed that tteokboki was entered in and they said I said I ordered it. I asked my husband who was there with me and he said I ordered jap chae. They apologized, but didn't offer to sub it out and I didn't want to press the issue because we were there for a going away party for a friend. I would have paid for the difference in price if that was the issue.
The tteokboki was too sweet for my liking and not spicy at all, which makes it palatable for those who might be sensitive to spice. It came with a good mix of fish cakes and tteok.
The service was pretty slow. We all ordered separately, however we didn't make our orders that far apart from one another. It was awkward to have a dish be finished while another friend's food became ready.
I looked at the bulgolgi kimbap my husband ordered and it didn't look appetizing. He said it was bland, and I asked if the seaweed wrap was coated in sesame oil, he said no.
It was a disappointing experience, but it had very cute decor. The matcha is thick and comes through the milk + any added flavoring, which creates a nice balance without making the drink too sweet. However for the price, it's unlikely we'll come back again which is a bummer because I...
Read moreThe food is absolutely delicious. The food was made with high quality ingredients and it was all fresh. You want something warm and soothing, you can get their delicious ramen. You want something quick to go, their sandwiches are incredible. You just want coffee, then you can get their lattes or matcha. The interior was made beautifully and with care. The interior is so bright and welcoming, with white tiles for floors and beautiful tables and chairs. The tiles also have something on them that will prevent you from slipping which is a nice thought. The workers were all nice and patient. They did everything well. Overall this place is a great cafe to...
