Coffee Slingers

[Urban Pioneer]

With Bicycle Alley going out next to Slingers, what do you guys think is a complimentary business that could go into that cool space? Coffee Slingers has established a solid audience with slots of foot traffic throughout the day. It would be cool if something worked with the people going there. Perhaps it would help foster longer hours at Slingers.

It'd be great if a bookstore moved in. Full Circle, perhaps?

I completely agree with that sentiment via Taylor's closing downtown. Heavy emphasis on newspapers and magazines seems to me like a winner concept.

Congrats CS on making it 3 years. You've brought a great deal of energy to downtown OKC. At the b-party in the building now as we speak. Great crowd.

Melody just announced they are putting a roastery in next door. They will start roasting their own beans.

Interesting.

Full Circle would need a larger space, but the north end of downtown would be a perfect fit for them.

Has anyone at Coffee Slingers considered putting sidewalk seating outside?

I'm not sure they have enough space to do so, but I think it's a great idea. They've got a couple of chairs lined up against the front of the window.

Yeah, they usually have one bistro table and two chairs, but they could easily fit more.

Use the roof garden instead.

They are busy banging on the other side of the wall from me as I type. The interior wall is about to be torn down and the space expanded. They are putting in a roastery.

Also, new tables, chairs, and a laptop bar are going in.

Well deserved, based on not a lot of experience on my part. I do try coffee everywhere I go and have yet to find a better latte. I had a superb cup of coffee in Da Nang the other day, but it was just a filter coffee.

Their throwing an all day Anniversary party today. Free drinks this morning and a barista competition later this afternoon. Live DJ music as well.

Very glad their business has done so well. They are in the minority of business owners.

Great review of Melody Harwell and why Coffee Slingers coffee is as great as it is.
