Prelude Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Oklahoma City

February 2023 Update:

Again and again I keep coming back here. It’s consistency in drink quality and vibe get better and better. Their specials are always a little off the wall and make me question who I am as a person.

Love this place ♥️

—— August 2021 Update:

They’ve been upping their game here over the past year and the shop is looking cooooool. A bookstore is coming in and that they’re going to finally get some super comfy chairs… 👀👀👀 —— February 2020 Update:

This is hands down the best coffee shop in OKC. Their spiced Kyoto cold brew is my new favorite thing! 100% would recommend. —— December 2019 UPDATE:

Okay their ice is the best thing. It look like little top hats and I love it!!!

—— Prelude Coffee Roasters is incredible. Formerly Mariposa Coffee Roasters they have the experience needed to roast quality beanzzz.

My favorite of theirs is their horchata latte which is super creamy and cinnamon-y. lol

Also their lattes start at $3.75 and their drip coffee is always $2!!

Their espresso is also top notch. It comes with a homemade caramel which pairs so perfectly with the espresso.

Single origins and blends are great and the...

Tucked on the second level of 8th Street Market, this small roaster offers an airy and laid-back atmosphere for her guests while brewing up some single origin beans from various continents.

They also have other beverages like tea, horchata and hot chocolate for non-coffee drinkers.

The owner/barista is always ready to explain their process of roasting and brewing methods, including the intriguing Kyoto cold brew apparatus sitting in a corner of the service area.

There are four tables that sits up to four people comfortably though the tables are a little too high, making it uncomfortable to work on a laptop.

The bar height service area is a better spot if you plan to hang out closer to the action of the barista and chat with them.

There is, however only one 2-point power outlet at the end of the bar, so come with a fully charged laptop if you plan to work some.

All in all, glad to have another roaster in town, bringing good and affordable coffee to the community while doing her part in educating more people about the...

My past experiences with this coffee shop were positive, but today, one of the baristas was rude and incredibly condescending.

Our group was playing Uno within the Praire area. (Which has existed long before Prelude.) People who worked at Praire came by and took our picture, encouraging us to keep playing and enjoying the game! This Prelude barista came down from her shop and was super condescending. For over five minutes, she lectured us for being "too loud while people were trying to study in their coffee shop." If this was a library or the building was only a coffee shop, that would be a reasonable request. This is an open-air venue. The coffee shop opened, knowing that there would be a brewery nearby. People who go to Prelude to study or have coffee realize it's a coffee shop by a brewery. Why are baristas chastising neighboring patrons?

It completely rubbed me the wrong way. The barista was incredibly rude, and I will never recommend or go to this...
