Tulsa has a plethora of boutique coffee shops. Whether you are a student looking for a study space with good vibes, a small business owner working online, need a reprieve from the corporate office, or are looking to catch a cup of joe with friends, here are coffee shops to check out.

Keep reading to see the local favorites and which place was featured in the hit HBO series Tulsa King.

I also share where to find gluten-free baked goods. I’m gluten-free and know how exciting it is to find a coffee place that serves gluten-free treats.

Chimera Café

Chimera Café has espresso options, a slow bar (think cold brew and nitro coffees), amazing breakfast tacos, and baked goods including gluten-free and vegan options. They also have chai.

The ambience is bright, cozy, and indie. It is definitely a downtown favorite. They have additional outdoor seating where you can enjoy the skyline. There is Wi-Fi if you’re looking for a business or study space.

Antoinette Baking Co.

Antoinette Baking Co. has coffee, specialty drinks, and a full bakery offering all kinds of delicious treats including gluten-free baked goods.

The owners are childhood friends with a passion for everyday celebrations. The atmosphere is cozy and bright.

If you have a special occasion coming up they take special orders. We ordered a gluten-free anniversary cake from here one year — it was delish.

Topeca Coffee Tulsa

Website: https://topecacoffee.com/

Located in the Hyatt Recency hotel, Topeca is proudly crafted in Tulsa.

Can’t make it to the coffee shop? No problem. You can purchase a bag of Topeca coffee at many of the local grocery stores.

Triangle Coffee

Website: https://www.facebook.com/triangletulsa/

If you watched Tulsa King, you might recognize this cute cafe (where Stallone is at the cafe and the white horse is running down the street).

Triangle Coffee has a rustic-modern atmosphere with passive solar lighting from the massive store front windows making it a super cozy place to take a time out from the office.

They focus on specialty coffee drinks. They do not have much food. I personally love their hot chai latte and indoor ambiance — the decor is rustic and the shop is usually quiet.

I was so happy when I saw their business featured in Tulsa King — how cool is that?

Foolish Things Coffee Company

Website: https://www.foolishthingscoffee.com/

Located right along historic Route 66, Foolish Things Coffee Company is all about keeping people personally engaged through a fine cup of coffee.

The inside atmosphere is cute, open, and rustic boasting a place for friends to gather and stay connected. They have a darling patio overlooking the Tulsa skyline. They also have libations.

Check out their website to stay in the know on jazz nights, happy hours, and specialty dinner options.

Coffees include specialty roasts, pour overs, Chemex, and espresso.

Gypsy Coffee House

Website: https://www.gypsycoffee.com/index.html

Located in one of downtown Tulsa’s old brick buildings dating back to 1906, this coffee house and cyber café is a quaint and comfy place to relax with a warm cup of joe. There is indoor and outdoor seating. They offer baked goods as well.

Next, onto highlighting the best coffee shops in Midtown.

The Coffee House on Cherry Street has a trendy boho indoor vibe with an awesome outdoor patio equipped with a brick fireplace. They have specialty coffee, lunch items, and an amazing bakery including one of the best gluten-free bakeries in Tulsa (my personal opinion).

They also make THE BEST gluten-free pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Queenies

Website: https://www.queeniesoftulsa.com/

Queenies is located in the Utica Square outdoor shopping mall area. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Queenies is a bakery and restaurant offering brunch, lunch, and carryout.

It is a perfect stop while shopping in Utica Square or after you finish a hot yoga class.

Shades of Brown Coffee & Art

Shades of Brown is located on the Brookside strip. This place has plenty of specialty coffee to choose from in a hip atmosphere with art for sale. You can sit outside or inside.

Grab a cup to go after your morning workout or run at Tulsa River Parks.

DoubleShot Coffee Co.

Website: https://www.doubleshotcoffee.com/

When you walk into DoubleShot Coffee Co. you will be surprised with its spacious modern-rustic and barn like atmosphere. DoubleShot has ample indoor and outdoor seating. Or you can take your coffee to go.

Be sure to check out the loft and upstairs seating. It has a really cool atmosphere. It is such a neat coffee shop in Tulsa.
