Coffee Slingers(O.K. City) mentioned by Food & Wine
No, they are not a TX Retailer, but our stately neighbors to the north have posted a job here, and have been like a close cousin to the TX Coffee Community. I found this article from a Facebook post by Mike White of Gimme! Coffee in New York.
Where to Go Next: Best U.S. Coffee Bars
Food insiders are as excited to talk about coffee bars as they are restaurants: The quality has gotten that good. Here, the classic and new places around the country with the most fanatical devotees.
Fantastic! Maybe now we’ll start seeing coffee retailer reviews where they actually talk about the COFFEE. It seems all they can ever talk about is the food, pastries, decor, and the neighborhood it’s in. Here’s hoping this article is a sign of certain change. A movement in the right direction.
If you are too lazy to read the entire thing and see mentions of some so-called(by the article) “Old Guard” shops as well as some lesser known so-called(by the article) “New Guard” shops, here’s the important bit: The nod to our friends in Oklahoma City at Coffee Slingers.
Oklahoma City
Coffee Slingers
Melody Harwell brought serious coffee to Oklahoma City when she opened Coffee Slingers in a renovated car dealership in March. She’s such a stickler for quality that she insists all of the cappuccinos be served exactly the same way, in seven-ounce ceramic mugs, and she’ll only make coffee with a French press using single-origin beans. 1015 N. Broadway Ave.; 405-606-2763 or coffeeslingers.com.
Kudos to Melody and crew at Coffee Slingers!
(we should see them at this year’s SCRBC)

Thanks TX coffee …..
As a long time cappucino snob on an eternal quest for the perfect cappucino, the one at Coffee Slingers is as good as it gets. It’s worth a drive.
