Excellent coffee in a perfect location, it is hard to ask for much more out of a coffee shop. Great rotating special flavors if you like a sweet twist to your drinks, but also some of the best classics as well with integrity and bold smooth flavors in every cup. If you are looking for a consistent regular spot for a great brew this should be your place.
Well spaced lounge with seating usually open unless you hit the busy hours of a weekend, but rooftop seating is available as well. My only complaint in this aspect is their lack of a required mask policy opting instead to just suggest them. I was hoping if any coffee shop in OK would be bold enough to mandate it Coffee Slingers would be the place. Seating is within six feet of space in some places and about half were not in a mask when I have been in. Not accounting for this in the stars because it is a temporary problem but it will definitely keep me from coming in on busier days for the duration of the pandemic. Just because we are in OK doesn't mean you can't use your wits :)
Only reason for not being a five out of five then is the lack of internet speeds for a shop this full. At about half capacity speeds noticeably seem to reduce and become unusable for periods when busier, almost seems as if they're allowing downloads from users to take over as well. Set up some limits on that router or spend a little! I know there have been days where I leave early rather than spend more and stay because I am just not able to get anything done with the slow spells.
Overall, for me to get into the internet speeds for my only true critique of a shop they are doing just about everything right. Coffee slingers nears perfection and I hope they keep the quality going, OK is lucky...
Read moreOKC, are you looking for a unique cafe latte experience with independent roots? Coffee Slingers and Roasters advertises itself as an independently run cafe situated within the heart of "Automobile Alley" art district. As travellers en route OKC 235, our discovery of this location was made through the use of UberEats. Both easy to locate via route 235 & containing substantial appeal in terms of list offerings.
Lavender, turmeric &...cookie lattes, classic chais, french press, americanos and the list goes on. Guests indulge in unique offerings alongside the classics situated within a full cafe setup. Espresso not your thing? Select from a separate segment of the menu containing teas of every variety. Think; sencha green, jasmine pearl, thai black, matcha, peppermint rooibos, english black & tropical iced varieties. List selection is considered vast & expansive compared to most other major & independent locations for its size relative to location.
Personal selections for this order include a nonfat lavender latte, light foam served hot. Atypical to my standard iced latte preference, my order was crafted with lavender syrup, fresh nonfat, caffeinated to my liking & served hot. Drawbacks include; size. Guests note: all beverages are served in one, standard format. In other words, one size. My expectations fell short as I stood at the counter to receive a drink much smaller than anticipated. The next question; why? With a vast menu list catering to a broad spectrum of tastes & preferences, I found it highly unusual for an important component to be...
Read moreI showed up at their door on Monday morning seconds after they opened with sleep-heavy eyelids that desperately needed a caffeine fix. Coffee Slingers has wood-heavy rustic atmosphere with a good mix of small and communal tables. You might think that a cafe that dedicates a large portion of their space to several large in-house roasters would be pretty serious about their coffee and that is absolutely true here. My latte was rich and deep, and while I usually like a splash of sweetness in my drink to soften the potential harshness of espresso, this one was marked with such expressive but soft tones that I enjoyed it thoroughly without any additives. Almond milk is offered as a dairy-free alternative, which is typically hard to foam correctly but the baristas here do an impressive job heating and whipping it into a perfect caffeinated cloud and the latte art was on point.
Admittedly, food options are weak here and when I visited, there was little else besides several different kinds of croissants and scones. I ordered a regular croissant to pair with my drink and the butter-laden pastry was certainly not a filling nor healthy breakfast by any means. Still, I'm glad I found a place that rivals some of the best coffee I've had back at home in Stillwater to fuel me while I'm down here.
As many others have already mentioned, there were no visible outlets, making this a less than ideal workspace for power-hungry work sessions on your laptop but perfect for casual dates and...
