Coffee Slingers

[GWB]

A posted a quasi-review in the "good coffee shops?" thread. Basically it came off pretentious to the point that I felt uncomfortable asking about the password.

Thanks for telling me about the "good coffee shops" thread. Didn't know about it. I'll check it out now.

Coffee Slingers is now officially the hippest coffee shop in town.

I spotted Wayne Coyne and his wife getting a cup of java Sunday morning.

Hey Crime - I thought it alreayd was the hippest in town - we all go there! Maybe Coyne finally realized it needed to be there!

Well, let's just say that for OKC, there is no one more hip than Wayne. If they were smart, they would have made him the customer of the week and slapped his photo on the wall (not this guy - even though this guy does look hip).

no kidding, OKC Crime, that would have been a great move for them.

You've got to come in every day to get "Customer of the Week" status. Maybe if he visits more often. . .

Don't be silly! Wayne deserves customer of the year for just one visit.

: I want to be customer of the week....

the pro cons teehee

the press method has,after painstaking research,won my palate and my nervous system over...

[EvokeCoffee]

It is nice, huh? I can't remember the last time I had a cup out of a brewer - although I am not against brewed coffee via brewer one bit!

It is amazing, however, the differences of the same coffee prepared in different ways. It is worth the try!

[OKCCrime]

Today! Even if though they have the date wrong

[EvokeCoffee]

You're right! I did not even notice that after all the days I have looked at those posters!

The latte art demo should be interesting for those that are interested. Not sure how everything else will go.

"doing things themselves"... is this meant to be a negative criticism, is it some how more evolved or something to pay supposed experts to do everything? Sounds like another dependency to pay for out of pocket...The deep philosophical drive train and it's linkages of polished disposable income...Is this a club that is not measuring up or a coffee shop? Flaws are interesting, aren't they..irresistibly so...god bless, rise humans...

what???

I know the owner pretty well. I'm glad she is doing so good. I know she was featured in "barista" magazine awhile back. I never saw the magazine but, as I see if you can make it into a publication under your profession there is something to be said about you.

I guess i'm not as cultured as some, so the "short, double shot cap, dry" sounds to me like a computer terminology. I talked with the owner and she is passionate about "real coffee." And bringing this idea to OKC. She has done alot of research into oklahoma and OKC. I hope she can achieve greatness!

They finally got the new sign up (or I finally noticed). It looks very cool. I saw it in the daylight but it looks like it has neon tubes. The design has a very urban feel so Metro will be pleased as plum even though he hasn't understood a single thing that yadillah nai has uttered on this thread.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Well, yadillah nai IS dyslexic. So there's no telling what he really meant.

[yadillah nai]

dysflexible,I pr3f3r...love you all...be proud of your oklahoma!!

Good one. Yeah that person is hard to understand.

I'm glad they got a permanent sign up. I thought I saw it in the far background of another pic someone posted. Hopefully it will help draw people that otherwise wouldn't know it's there. Glad to see AA coming up in the downtown scene. I just wish we had some real retail in AA besides CD Warehouse. They are true pioneers though. AA is perfect for street level retail district, and developers like Ruffin and Banta are trying to turn it into street level offices, stupid!

[yadillah nai]

Yes indeed, a beautiful thing. Now we need a grocery store and for the Iguana to be open.... followed by more things to do and places to be of diversity in the great downtown of okc....Allow the aloha to flow like the good water 'steada soda
in your cellulars and melanins. god bless

Went by tonight after a business meeting. A few of us guys got there at about 7:15pm only to find ourselves disappointed that the doors were already locked. They close at 7pm except on Fridays and Saturdays they are open until 10pm.

[EvokeCoffee]

I'm sure they will stay opened longer as they go forward in business. The more people spend time downtown instead of elsewhere, the better!

It would be great to see them opened until midnight at some point in the future.

[yadillah nai]

ok, me want espresso now... see you there

I've heard a lot of good things about Coffee Slingers, they seem to be creating quite a buzz. Congrats to them and welcome!


We also own a little coffee shop in OKC. Vintage Coffee at 150th and Western. It's not really a trendy and edgy kind of place, more laid back and low key. I can't do trendy + caffeine, makes me irritable! lol.

Come by and give us a shop before you decide on your favorite coffee shop. All of our beans and Teas are organic and fairly traded and taste great, we think they are the best product in the market. We love both brewed coffee and espresso drinks, you'll have to try both and tell us which you like better. We also have great frou-frou drinks for those with a sweet tooth. In fact, we created the Smooffee drink - frozen yogurt and espresso and your choice of flavor. Perhaps you've seen the Sonic copy of it with their soft serve "ice cream" and dehydrated "espresso"?


We have couches - tables - bar stools, free wifi, fresh baked goodies from Brown's Bakery and sandwiches from Kolache Kitchen. We also have a drive-thru when you are on the go.

Anyway, sorry for advertisement, I guess I'm just jealous of the buzz that these guys are creating.
