3. Cirque Coffee
We love Cirque Coffee Roasters for many reasons but one of those is that the interior is so eclectic and interesting! With a warehouse/industrial feel, there is a lot to look at!
From their site, “Cirque exists for people who enjoy good coffee. It’s truly that simple. There’s room for the coffee geek, the occasional enthusiast, and the newcomer who just wants their coffee to be good and be delivered quickly. We have put a lot of thought and effort into how we do things so that we can provide you with a great beverage, every time. All that means for you is that you can expect to enjoy some coffee with us. We’re glad you’re here.”
We have always enjoyed coming here and especially love that they have beans you can buy and take home! We’re not the only ones who love this place.
Check out this google review from Darion, “Just got a chilled apple cider latte and it was so amazing the environment is open and inviting. The decor was comfortable and relaxed. They use the QR code for the menu which was nice. And they have wifi to bring your laptop or tablet with and get those last-minute assignments done. It’s everything you would want out of a coffee shop.”

If you’ve lived in Tulsa long, you have likely heard about Gypsy Coffee House. Serving the area for 20 years, they never seem to disappoint! Not only is their coffee great, but the unique atmosphere will also give you a fun place to hang out for a while.
We also love their full menu and open-mic nights. They are also one of the only coffee shops open really late! The history behind the building itself is so interesting too so make sure to ask about it next time you visit.
Among their many 4.5+ star reviews on Google, you will find this one by Alexandra, “One of my favorite places to visit in Tulsa since I’ve been a kid! It’s such a cool place for meetings, hangout sessions, getting homework done, or just hanging out by yourself. My favorite coffee shop in Tulsa! ❤️ A must try! Plus now they have a 420 friendly patio, and a dispensary upstairs – but even if you’re not into that, it’s not included in the coffee shop!”

In their own words, “We pride ourselves on providing organic, fair trade tea and coffee.

Foolish Things Coffe Co. is another cool place to hang out with friends or have some quiet time alone while sipping some coffee or tea. Instantly feel at home in this spacious coffee shop with comfortable and warm decor. They offer simple bakery items that pair well with coffee, made fresh in-house, they are delicious!
We love this segment from their mission statement that really shines through while you’re visiting. It states, ” It is our hope that this simple café will be a means through which you engage humanity personally and corporately. It is conversation and relationship that distinguish civilized humanity from animals and barbarians …. Join us as we stop to brew, sit, sip, and savor. We challenge you to be agents of change, to help recover that which distinguishes us. Some call it foolish. We know it is.”

We especially love their sandwiches and yummy pastries. Tons of natural light and comfortable seating if you catch them when they’re not busy.

What Makes A Coffee Shop Great?
As you can see from this article, there are a few things that we feel make a coffee shop stand out! The two most important things to us are their atmosphere and the quality of coffee they brew. We want a place that is cozy, warm, and inviting.
You want a place that has plenty of seating in case they are a bit busy. Even if you’re not wanting to hang out for hours on end, it’s nice to have somewhere you can fit in where you’re not being rushed out.
We also love and appreciate the shops that have a friendly staff and a wide variety of quality coffee, tea, and vegan/gluten-free options.
Why Weren’t Chain Stores On The List?
You may have noticed that a few popular coffee places like Starbucks And Dunkin’ weren’t included on this list, why? Well, it’s not that you can’t get a good cup of joe at those places too, we just love shopping small!
Supporting local Tulsa businesses is important to us. We love knowing where our money is going and the work these shops put into what they do! Supporting a small, local shop will also directly help your community so try to keep that in mind for your next coffee run!
No matter what type of coffee shop you enjoy, we hope that this list helps you to discover a place that will become your new favorite coffee hangout!
