Gray Owl Coffee

"Fantastic service, calm, warm and caring. Coffee is smooth and not bitter. Scones and quiche were superb. Egg really pops on the quiche. Brazilian cheese bread is also a winner. Items really are crafted by hand, and the quality shows. This is home made-not a chain."

"Good coffee in general, proudly displays the coffee they use and details about where it was sourced. The different types of coffee are well prepared and politely delivered. Great decor/atmosphere, employees are amicable but not over the top friendly, which is incredibly refreshing. The music selection is varied and often obscure, but always of good quality; no overplayed mainstream pop stuff. Aesthetically this place has everything you could want from a trendy, new age coffee shop: Big windows, high ceilings, cinder block/brick walls, Edison bulbs, and wood furnishings. No two chairs are the same, there’s a smattering of live (and well cared for) plants in every corner, and vintage bikes hang from the ceilings. So cool. The baked goods are made in house from scratch and rotate spasmodically. If you come often I guarantee they will eventually make something which will end up being your preferred breakfast to have along with your coffee. Overall, this is a great shop. If you’re looking for a place to become a regular, you’ve found it. Whether you want to study, get some work done, have a chill date, or hang out with friends, this shop is the place I’d recommend."

"Delicious gluten-free and vegan items. Very warm and welcoming vibe. Excellent cold-brew and iced chai. Played some chess here and contributed to the community journal."

"This place is such a treat to have in Norman. Not only is the coffee excellent, but the atmosphere is incredibly cozy. There is an assortment of furniture to use while you're here whether you just want to drink your coffee and read the news or you're planning to set up for a day of remote work. I have never felt awkward or unwelcome here. It's a very short walk to the rest of Main Street if you want to grab a bite to eat as well. If you just want a snack, Gray Owl has an assortment of pastries on hand."
