Collaborative Coffee

Ahhhh k! So, this is not only my new favorite cafe, but all others no longer need apply. Since moving to Tulsa five years ago, I've bounced around different coffee shops that I liked - my first favorite was Antoinette's, then Gambill's, then Notion, then Doubleshot - but each of them always was missing some "X factor" to it. The Collaborative has that X factor: community. The staff are very kind and endearing, and it's the first place that has drawn me back because of the baristas rather than the coffee itself. (The only other place that had done that previously was to see Nancy at Antoinette's - RIP Sweet Nancy.) I asked a barista at Collaborative, "what is it with this place? Everyone seems to know each other." She laughed and said that everyone is just friendly at the shop and they get to know one another. This was so refreshing to hear, and even though it's a haul for me to get out to this shop, I prefer to do it every time. Super bonus to the Collab for allowing dogs on their patio - AND inside. This is what a cafe ought to be.

I love that they serve Elmhurst vegan plant milks. I ordered the Match Rose Latte. I asked her to go light on the syrup and it was absolutely perfect!

My preferred coffee place.

update (after coming here more often):
the staff here are consistently amazing. please clean up after yourself and consider other ways to appreciate them.

The vibe, service, and coffee itself were wonderful. The coffee was delicious and all of their syrups were homemade. Highly recommend!

Such a gem! Stop here each time in Tulsa for a chai tea. So freaking good! And I love the mug they serve it in. I am sure I will be back again!

I love this coffee shop’s vibe! It’s a great place to study or have a meeting or a cute little date. The staff is super friendly and everything is really clean and cute.

Really great place for aesthetics! Coffee is not the greatest and girls working there, a bit aloof.

I’m in town visiting family, and was so pleased to find this wonderful coffee shop! Their chai tea was as fantastic as their staff. Highly recommend!

Delicious coffee, calm atmosphere, and all good vibes. 10/10 will be here a lot more.

I've seen a lot of posts about the amazing coffee but I would say the coffee was mediocre really good but not amazing I had a vanilla latte

But the girls that helped at the counter were unbelievably amazing, and the atmosphere is as they say amazing although it was a little cold
