I'll have the story in tomorrow's paper

Scooped.

I would go to Java Dave's more often...but they need a new railroad crossing over there.

.but they need a new railroad crossing over there.

Isn't that happening right now?

[Spartan]

Not "right now" .. I got my clock cleaned the other day.

[jbrown84]

I thought Tenth was closed at the crossing for the last several weeks while they redid it.

[Steve]

I'm devastated. My career is over. Guess I'll get a job driving Oklahoma Spirit trolleys.

[ljbab728]

Maybe you'll keep them on schedule, Steve.

[Steve]

From what I've heard from an acquaintance who once drove the trolleys, the union might have a problem with that. They certainly wouldn't want me giving out any tour or history information on the ride.

I'm sure the Kamp's restaurant will do well there. They seem to have a handle on good customer service - which is something I've always felt Java Dave's lacked. Hopefully with a smaller location and less staff they can keep a better focus on the customer.

They might want to focus on offering completely different coffee as well.

HAHAHA, indeed, they have terrible coffee, and seeing as it its the focus of their business, it's kind of hard to overlook...

Not a coffee drinker myself, so I can't comment on the coffee. The food was always good to very good, but the staff was usually mediocre to terrible. Good place downtown to meet people or get some work done on the laptop. However, I'd often go in there and the tables were dirty, wifi was down and even the cable tv would be all snow and nobody would know what to do. They also have attracted a few squatters that were really bizarre. The other day two different ones interrupted a meeting I was having. Both wanting to know if we "knew Obama was shutting down the Internet in 2012?" Not to mention the Nazi attitude they had developed regarding their parking lot.

This will either be a turing point with a smaller venue where they can focus on their core business, or its the beginning of the end. I doubt I'll visit much if it too much smaller and they take the get your coffee and leave attitude.

I am excited about the new Kamp's restaurant opening up.

[betts]

Has anyone eaten here? I drove by today and saw a sign saying it was open.

[SOUTHSIDE GIRL]

Ate there Friday. It was good, a little pricey

[metro]

Can you give more details please......

[BBatesokc]

Ate there for breakfast this morning with the wife. We both really liked how they have renovated the place, great floors, cool lighting and good table layout.

The pastry case was full of good looking sweets.

We decided to split the Boxcar Burrito for $4.75 (my half is pictured above).

It was served fast and plenty warm. It was pretty light on the eggs and heavy on the potatoes and tortilla. Actually, it was pretty heavy all around and considering we had just come from an hour at the YMCA, it didn't sit just great with us.

That said, it certainly didn't taste bad and I'm sure the sausage and gravy types will love it. I did think it was a little pricey though.

We visited at 7am and left at 7:20. Only one other customer during that time and he had a coffee.

We will probably stop by again and try something different for breakfast and will definitely give lunch a shot in the future.

I didn't detect a WiFi signal while I was there, but when I asked was told they were "working on it right now."

What we did find odd was that Java Dave's has simply relocated to the warehouse building on the South end of the same parking lot. A much smaller and lower budget looking establishment they will compete with Kamp's on coffee sales.

[metro]

Bates, thanks for the review. Yeah there is another thread somewhere from awhile back with an article talking about the switch and why Java Daves moved to the warehouse. Basically to find their original identity and lower overhead. At the end of the day, it's just coffee mainly.

[soonerguru]

Their menu needs tweaking.

can you be more specific, that's a pretty vague comment.

[betts]

I plan to eat there soon, but did they have a grand opening? Or have they don't anything to promote the fact that they've opened? One of the reasons I haven't tried it yet is because I forget it's there.

[metro]

Driven by it several times and both times it was empty around 6pm-7pm at night, but appeared to be open. I have seen virtually zero publicity for it, other than here and an ad or two in the Gazette. I wonder if they are banking on their "KAMPS" name.

I tried to help with their PR - when I saw the track elves I emailed Ali at Ch4 and she put together this nice PR warm fuzzy piece.
