My first trip to Coffee Jerks was 4 days ago and I ordered a cappucino, double shot, and one shot vanilla- probably not the most common order. The drink was delicious in every way...rich, deeply roasted coffee, creamy, with just a hint of vanilla sweetness. In short- perfect. We were planning on getting our orders to go, but the environment was so inviting, we decided to sit down and ended up staying for 45 minutes...a very nice coffee break. I decided to return two days later and jokingly asked for “ my usual”. The barista knew exactly who I was and what I had ordered two days previously on my first trip. I was pleasantly stunned! They make everything from a great cup of Joe to all the fancy specialty drinks. The atmosphere is inviting: warm, quiet, (inhabited by quite a few folks younger than myself -63- intently staring at their computers) charmingly eclectic with a few hand-me down, comfy, soft chairs, a central high-top bar, and metal tables and chairs. Vintage Schwinns hang from the rafters; the place appears to be overseen by a poster of John Wayne. Come on! You gotta love that! Personally, I would like to see more comfy old chairs in which to curl up! It is faintly reminiscent of an old library, the type where I felt compelled to stay, and curl up with a good book to escape. I highly recommend you give Coffee Jerks a try. They even have a drive-through window, but you’ll miss the indoor experience. With such great, richly brewed coffee, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a fun, comfy, and eclectic environment, you can’t go wrong with making Coffee Jerks your favorite place to get your daily jolt, study, surf the web, or just hangout for conversation. So, Pilgrim, what’re...
Read moreSo sad to be posting this. I used to love going here before the pandemic, their coffee is amazing! While the mask mandate has been lifted recently in okc, I was kind of surprised a food and drink establishment would be jumping for no masks on workers while we still have SO many active cases in the state. : ( As someone that works in healthcare, I can’t take that kind of risk in where I decide to support, even while vaccinated. Too much potential risk for vulnerable people. I’m very disappointed.
Update after reply: While the CDC has posted guidelines for the fully vaccinated, there is no way to surely verify vaccination except using state records. OK is currently at 32% fully vaccinated and 39% with one dose, which are sad statistics, and I am so glad to hear your business encouraging employees to vaccinate. It is the greatest service we can do for our country right now! : ) I am so glad you are using the CDC as a resource and I am hoping that the business guidelines will soon be updated to clarify the confusion afflicting many establishments on the correct course of action. I’m hoping to come back when the world is a safer place, but don’t want anyone coming in like I did and...
Read moreCoffee Jerks used to be my favorite coffee place. Since they opened the new location near us in Edmond, the taste of the coffee is not the same at either of the locations: Edmond or 122nd St. I cannot tell if the difference is new staff, or if something else changed from a supplier perspective.
I only order one item: mocha latte extra sweet. When it comes out tasting like bitter Arabic coffee, something is wrong. This morning the lady at the register wanted to argue and tell me that they have not changed the formula, and that the coffee should be okay as he is. I actually told her well then you must not drink coffee because if you did you would notice a difference in the taste. Only after I said that did they offer to remake it.
The new Edmond location is nowhere near as good as the 122nd Street location which was really disappointing because we're closer to the new location in Edmond. I will not tolerate paying top dollar for bitter coffee. Please, please put it back the way it used to be. We have been...
