Live Oak Coffeehouse

Great coffee and nice selection of breakfast foods

Just an all around good experience everytime, lots of cozy spaces, things to look at or purchase, excellent coffee, and fun games to play.

Only came here once to have a hot chocolate with some friends (I'm not a coffee drinker). It was delicious. It was a nice environment and we felt like we could sit and talk as long as we liked. There are also different styles of seating options (lounge chairs vs. tall stools at tables) and a group room that I guess you can reserve, but that night people were just in there because it wasn't reserved. Lots of people there on their laptops.

Love it here! Also, had a problem awhile back with a door dash order and I called them and they fixed It immediately! They allowed me to come up and grab it myself. Quiche is yummy and so is their coffee!

I haven't tried any food items, but the coffee is tops. The staff is so friendly and helpful, with beautiful smiles!

Everything here is great! Personal favorite is the matcha apple green Smoothie add extra honey, so good!

Hands down, best coffee shop in midland!

Love the Bay City Love Oak. Won’t ever return to this one as I can’t comprehend how it takes 25 minutes to make 2 coffees and the smallest vegan burritos of your life.

The moment I stepped in the door I could tell I was in a safe environment. It is cozy inside, with houseplants hanging from walls, (and even from a ladder that is also hanging from the ceiling), in planters that separate tables, in pots on shelves, and even in some of the paintings.
This place was so well thought out. The carefulness and consideration of every aspect is extremely evident. From a stool for kids in the gender neutral bathrooms, to high and low accessible tables with plugs (at nearly every one), to small notebooks laying around with inspirational quotes that guests have left on their visits here.
The artwork inside is amazing. There are tons of different styles. An old camera and books - shelves made of pallets and industrial pipes - a quote from Maya Angelou hanging from the wall - Modern, geometric lighting - But it is not chaotic... it is calm. Everything has its place and purpose, and I am constantly reminded with each sign on the wall that I am worthy, loved, & meant to be here today.
I can hear Cavetown playing in the background of keyboards clicking and laughter coming from the other room, and the coffee machines doing their thing. It is peaceful. Nostalgic. and the smell of coffee makes it even better.
But my favorite part of the day, besides my bacon/cheddar/broccoli quiche and blended latte with hazelnut and raspberry syrup, was hearing a barista teach other new baristas how to make this delicious coffee, carefully explaining to wet the filter first and how hot the water should be... and watching their eyes glow as they learned and her eyes glow as she explained it to them.
This place feels like hard work that some wonderful folks put in. I hope it has paid them off and continues to do so for years to come.

Wonderful gathering place for coffee and conversation.
