Coffee Slingers - Downtown Oklahoma City

I had a brief chance yesterday to stop by Oklahoma City's newest specialty coffee retailer - Coffee Slingers. I did not get to spend as much time there as I would have liked but I did get a few of the details. Here is what I like about the new shop:

1. 12 oz drinks. If you have been following this blog and Cafe Evoke for the past 4 years, you may remember my discussion about serving huge to go drinks at our shop. I never wanted to and still think it is crazy. Well, Slingers is only serving 12 oz sizes to go and 7 or 12 oz ceramics. Nice.

2. Flavors. I still think having 1,900 flavor options is crazy. Coffee Slingers has 4.

3. Blenders. They have none.

Overall, I think they are doing a nice job. I will be interested to see how a shop that would fit in great in the Northwest will fit into a green coffee community in Oklahoma City. This shop is similar to Evoke in many ways so if they can really kick start things, it should help pave the way for the long awaited Evoke - the cafe.

This shop is very "Stumptown'ess" but I like that. Simple espresso is always best and the shop will be a good one for this community. I will have more on this shop as we go and as I get to know the business and their services.
