Drive-thru services have long been under appreciated, and it's honestly such a shame. Not only are they incredibly convenient—can someone say "pajamas?"—but with the still-present health crisis looming over us, they're a great way to continue implementing safe distancing practices in our day-to-day routines. Drive-thrus are most commonly seen with regards to fast food places—rarely … Continue reading Coffee Crawl: Rocket Brothers Espresso

Today we're visiting another popular Tulsa coffee shop--Coffee House on Cherry Street. I haven't had that many interactions with this cozy coffee shop until recently. It's not that I didn't like it before, I just didn't have any feelings about it whatsoever. But slowly and surely, CHOCS (the apparent local shorthand) is becoming a fan … Continue reading Coffee Crawl: Coffee House on Cherry Street
Do you guys remember when I said Shades of Brown was my favorite coffee shop in Tulsa? Well...that's still true. But, 918 Coffee is quickly becoming a strong contender for second!
