The Yellow Dog Coffee Company, LLC — Restaurant in Norman

This has very quickly become our favourite coffee spot. We live in Chickasha but regularly travel to Norman, and simply cannot pass through without stopping at YDC.

This is a university-town coffee shop, and the vibe matches. They are also a coffee roaster, and keep several different coffees available to buy.

Prior to finding The Yellow Dog, I was ordering specialty beans online and having them shipped. Their roasts are so good that I find myself driving to Norman to buy coffee beans, rather than tap on my phone.

Speaking of driving — if you go on the weekend, there is parking in abundance. When the Hiland Dairy plant across the street is in operation, however, you may need to be prepared for a short walk.

This shop is better than Starbucks or Stella Nova is every possible way (except that they don’t have a drive-through). It is a shame that they are...
