Cafe Coffee shop Book store

🫤 So, I really like this place and it cool, it hurts my feelings to place the 2 star for today. I ordered 10oz. cappuccino but I received a very watery drink that I completely can not describe as a cappuccino. The barista refused to make me a new drink or to add another shot of espresso. He have said... People often mention books, bookstore, great, cafe, coffee, good, atmosphere, store, love, Full,

    So, I really like this place and it cool, it hurts my feelings to place the 2 star for today. I ordered 10oz. cappuccino but I received a very watery drink that I completely can not describe as a cappuccino. The barista refused to make me a new drink or to add another shot of espresso. He have said that he can not help, it is how it is, And that I can order and pay for another drink. Highly recommend to review the coffee machine or the recipes. Thanks.

    I didn't eat so I cannot rate the food. But this place is great. It's an old school indie bookstore with a coffeeshop..... And fake fireplaces raging! I am so happy to have found it at the beginning of my stay in OKC.

    Super mellow vibe, great coffee. Very kind employees. Only really come here for the jazz shows but love the bookstore. Always end up bringing home something.

    I love Full Circle, and the Garden Cafe is pretty good! Most of their coffee drinks are too sweet for me, but they have a great selection. I got their chicken salad sandwich there once and it was pretty good. I love coming here just to hang out and enjoy the atmosphere! They also offer alcoholic beverages, which is nice.

    Attached to the best independent bookstore in the state is one of my absolute favorite places to get work done. This cafe is lovely, with both indoor seating as well as a nice, secluded outdoor balcony. They host events here and I haven’t made it to as many as I’d like, but the ones I have made it to have been lovely. In terms of cafe offerings, their triple dark chocolate gelato is to die for, as well as their chocolate mice; all at an extraordinarily reasonable price! In terms of drinks I favor their Italian cream soda, but they have ample coffee and tea options with tons of flavor choices. If you’re looking to get some work done on your computer, especially if you love a bookstore environment, I can’t recommend Full Circe highly enough.

    Awesome book store, healthy food choices, super friendly folks. Their Harry Potter Trivia night was very well done and worth the 4 hour drive to attend!

    When did you first discover Tolkien? War and Peace? Douglas Adams? At a bookstore? We’ll crank up the SUV And head over here! Great store, wonderful atmosphere helpful staff. A well lighted lace for books indeed! And a great big eclectic selection. Check out the set of “Very Short Introduction” books. Another gem store.

    Went for Harry Potter trivia. Even though it was packed they did a great job of taking care of everyone and keeping everyone happy and finding room for everyone. This is the third event I've gone to here and I've enjoyed it every time. Great books & great café. Would just like to see more dairy free and gluten free options.

    Hidden gem inside Full Circle Bookstore! Excellent little cafe that has coffee, teas, etc and a breakfast & lunch menu as well. I got the Peppered Bacon & Roasted Tomato Sandwich, which was excellent! Service was quick & friendly. Limited seating, especially for parties of more than two. Wheelchair accessible (there’s a ramp leading to the counter area). Lovely quiet atmosphere with soft music playing.

    Pretty good food, but the prices seem a bit high for some of the portion sizes. I do love their toasted marshmallow coffee though! Super cute atmosphere and everyone is always nice.

    Each time I have food and/or beverage from the cafe, I wind up getting sick immediately after. Even with months in between visits, without fail. Cafe Staff are less than polite and act like you being there is an inconvenience. Cafe Staff trash talking people is a common occurrence. Makes for an unwelcome experience. If you can go somewhere else, do so.

    I love their London fog tea

  • 5/5 Bree 2 years ago on Google
    What a great bookstore. No commercial store vibe here. Story time is the real deal! Snack, craft, & cozy for the kids! Many rooms to select from to sit down and enjoy a quiet, comfortable space filled with unique books. Grab a seat by the fireplace or in the cafe with a warm drink or tasty treat.

    Absolutely LOVE Full Circle! Every experience I’ve had here has been amazing! So many books to choose from and so well organized! I love the cafe as well and their yummy food and cute themed food around the holidays! I always recommend it to my friends and family!

    i am a shy person by nature and i usually research every element to a place before i show up, that way i know what i'm doing so i don't make a fool out of myself. however, this place was so warm and so welcoming and the cafe worker that took my order was so kind !! i think this is my new spot to do homework. :-)

  • 5/5 Andrea E. 5 years ago on Google
    I just found my new favorite hiding spot! Such an amazing atmosphere! This place has an old time feel with ladders to reach books on unreachable shelves. Full circle also has a small cafe. I didn't get a chance to see the menus or pricing though. Everyone I spoke with was friendly and knew right where everything I was looking for was located. My daughter loved the children's section. There is comfy seating all over and at least two fire places. I saw people using their laptops so, wifi must be available. I can easily see myself sitting by the fireplace reading for an hour or two anytime I feel I need a getaway.

    What a wonderful and unique bookstore! We were visiting family in Yukon and found your store through an internet search. Great selection of books and such friendly staff. My soon to be 2 year old had a blast playing with the train table while we picked out some books for him. So very glad we made your bookstore part of our vacation!

  • 2/5 Sydany T. 1 year ago on Google
    The two stars are generous. I got the gelato and paid 6.25 for a cup of gelato that tasted old and like freezer burn. I tried to eat it because I paid for it, but honestly, I am so disappointed and genuinely struggling to finish it because of how gross it is. The bookstore itself is really nice.

  • 2/5 Vinny L. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was good but service was awful. The barista had an extremely rude tone to all customers and was VERY pushy about tipping. moved us 2 times to make room for the lunch crowd ,then got asked to leave if we weren’t going to buy lunch. from my perspective, there was enough room for everyone. I understand moving tables but the tone and aggressiveness of the Barista was my issue. did NOT feel welcome, awful experience.

  • 5/5 Benni F. 1 year ago on Google
    Cozy little nook of a place. The barista was kinda swamped but hustled to get everyone taken care of. The live music entertainment was fantastic. Love this sweet place.

  • 5/5 Robert Gideon I. 1 year ago on Google
    This store, and cafe, were part of my youth and continue to be part of my life today. Low key vibes and a great place for a conversation!

  • 5/5 E. “Pixie” M. 1 year ago on Google
    The quiet of Full Circle Bookstore influences the atmosphere of the cafe, letting you fully relax while you enjoy a snack, a meal, or just a beverage to reinvigorate you before you tackle the stacks for more excellent reads. Delicious food (you have to try the chocolate mice) and friendly staff. I always try to stop in the cafe if I'm at the bookstore.

  • 4/5 Brian T. 11 months ago on Google
    Good quality food. Service is polite. Small tucked away in the book store it's a great combo. Also have events in the seating area like live music.

  • 5/5 desirae 9 months ago on Google
    The food was delicious and my tea was imaginative and yummy. It was fun to be able to sit and chat and eat with my friends while we looked through our books, all while still being in the bookstore.

    Cozy and quiet. Super love the ladders by the bookshelves, it’s the dream “library”.

  • 5/5 onearmedbandit_mom 4 years ago on Google
    this review is by Avery... The best place to buy a new book is Full Circle Bookstore in Oklahoma City! After you find a nice book to read, you can grab something to eat in the cozy cafe. The bookstore has many rooms full of many shelves of great books that go all the way up to the ceiling! There are rolling ladders you can use to get a book off the shelf! And in the harsh winters, there are cozy fireplaces to sit and read at! Come get all your books at Full Circle Bookstore!

  • 5/5 Kerri R. 4 years ago on Google
    I love this bookstore so much! The staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable. There were a few books I wanted during the shelter-in-place, and a staff member delivered them to my house. They always go above and beyond for their customers, and there is nowhere I'd rather get my books from.

    The BEST bookstore and more. Author events, signings. Nicest staff. Atmosphere. Live music. Story time for the kids. Coffee, wine, gelato, cafe foods available.

  • 5/5 lahua f. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful and calm place to combine a delicious cup of coffee or glass of wine reading your favorite book

  • 2/5 Alexander D. 3 years ago on Google
    I don't understand why you would open up at 8 and have absolutely nothing available. Cafe no food available, you can't purchase anything until 10. I really wish there was some notification that allowed people to do know this ahead of time so they wouldn't waste their time. Beyond this the stock is incredibly limited. Every book I looked for was not in stock. Unfortunately the few times I have been in this has been pretty consistent. It was a really good store that's gone down hill a bit. The customer service that was really great is almost non existent. As I sit here in the cafe there is a line two people deep and no one around.

  • 5/5 Drew B. 3 years ago on Google
    service is always prompt even when they have a full house. had a friend come into town and she asked me to take her here again. prices that won't break you. menu is like a place in san francisco i loved.

  • 5/5 joshua r. 3 years ago on Google
    Looks and feels like a book store should. Your imagination lights up when you walk through the doors. Found my way in after getting let down by a chain store and will be coming here for now on. Plan on bringing the kids in this weekend. Wonderful staff that ACTUALLY reads and were very kind and helpful. Looking forward to staying longer and grabbing a coffee next time. Support this OK business!

    Great coffee! And beer! If you are able to work remotely, it's quiet enough for that and they are super chill about it.

  • 5/5 C.Kennedy R. 4 years ago on Google
    I've been to Full Circle a few times before and it was my mistake each time to not sit down for a coffee. The Garden Cafe has so many different options for coffee and it is truly a must if you're in the area.

  • 5/5 Brien S. 4 years ago on Google
    This bookstore/cafe has a wonderful atmosphere with crackling faux fire places. The sandwich we chose to eat was absolutley amazing and freshly cooked. The staff were courteous although somewhat aloof. I highly recommend spending an afternoon reading, eating, and enjoying the snacks and drinks.

    Great coffee chai and teas. Sandwiches are delicious.
