    Met a friend over coffee on a Friday morning. Open, inviting atmosphere and competent barista. Good sized latte and coffee on point.

    I love this coffee shop! They have lots of seating, food and great coffee. They also have good parking which is hard to find in downtown!

    I ordered a 16oz latte (mocha) and they gave me a normal latte. They were very nice taking my order, but I think something was wrong with machine. When the cashier passed the order to another barista (after having difficulties), they either forgot to say it was mocha or the guy who took over just didn’t do it.. I’ve had lattes before and wasn’t really impressed with “hot milk with hint of coffee flavor” they served me. Granted this was my first time going and I could have said something to them but I didn’t want to be late to class. I’m sure they make great drinks, I just happened to come on an off day.

    Beautiful, industrial space with a variety of seating options - from bar stools to well-worn leather couches. Great drinks with a variety of options: dairy alternatives, homemade syrups, locally roasted coffee pour-overs. Delicious food menu as well. Breakfast served daily -- highly recommend the "Green Eggs and Ham," featuring fresh mozzarella and pesto!

    I grabbed an iced caramel latte (super strong and delicious) and breakfast burrito #2. The coffee shop itself is spacious inside and plenty of tables and chairs to choose from. As for the parking, there is a designated parking spots for the coffee shop, and if ever ran out of space, there are street parking that you can park as well. The service was fast and got my orders in few minutes. I thoroughly enjoyed my cuppa and the burrito was huge and hearty! If you order a burrito, make sure you're really hungry. I couldn't finish my food.

    Fantastic place for simple brunch options, a delicious coffee, working on your laptop. Could not recommend higher. Great wifi, access to outlets, seating, and space for some remote working.

    An excellent shop with my favorite selection of breakfast options in Tulsa when it comes to getting great quality coffee as well as food. The staff were very informative and welcoming (which was a plus since we drove 11 hours to get their).

    When I say GOOD, that doesn't sum it up. Their breakfast burrito is GOOD GOOD...I was expecting some basic coffe shop, pre-wrapped, microwaved, subpar burrito to par with my double espresso. I was WRONG, this food is made to order and PACKED! So glad a walked by this spot

    I love this cool old building and what they have done with it. The cold brew is very good but my favorite thing is the breakfast bowl with chile sauce! It’s so simple but also such unique flavors.

  • 5/5 Samburger N. 9 months ago on Google
    The coffees were INCREDIBLE. We tried ours and melted and then tried eachothers and blissfully melted again. Noises happened. I ordered the Iced Honey Lavender Cold Brew and Caramel Latte. The flavor while allowing the coffee to be the star. I did a few flavor dances. My avocado toast and that BACON JAM!!! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!. Thank you!

    They make a mean London Fog and the service is friendly. They have large communal tables and a warm atmosphere with plenty of light.

    Great coffee, great atmosphere. I mostly appreciate how it's conveniently across the street from the Tulsa Community College Metro campus!

  • 5/5 layan b. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite cafes in Tulsa to study in after class ♥️ I love the big windows and the music they play. Just the perfect atmosphere to study and get work done. I recommend giving this place a try!

    I debated reaching out to the coffee place directly or leaving this review but ultimately opted to do it. While visiting Tulsa with my family, we wanted to check out your coffee shop and after the excellent reviews, why wouldn’t we. We stopped in on Monday, it was not busy, maybe two people inside. The barista was making a drink I assume for a customer. We stood there browsing the wall menu and taking in the nice open area. I’d say 3 minutes or so went by and the barista has walked by us a few times still semi busy BUT not once were were greeted. I assumed he/she was busy, but a quick let me finish these drinks and I’ll be right with you was appropriate. Nope. Nothing. I’d say 5 minutes had gone by at this point and again not one word was spoken to us as we stare aimlessly. After what seemed to be a very long awkward silence. We left. Again barista never spoke. But instead as we departed, we looked back and had the most AWKWARD stare down from the barista. Or that’s what’s it felt like. Super weird eye contact. I wouldn’t even think twice to write this but it was just that uncomfortable. We just wanted to check it out and maybe grab some coffee and lunch. I’ve never not been spoken to at a coffee shop. I did also FB message the business. While messages were read there was no immediate response.

  • 5/5 Mahal R. 2 years ago on Google
    This is my cherished neighborhood coffee spot. The space has solid and wide wooden tables, wifi and music that is just right for studying, working or a nice coffee meetup. The coffee is strong and lovely. Friends seem to enjoy the tea. I like that there is always parking available out front or on the side of the building. I feel welcomed every time I visit. They have a rewards program and after collecting enough stars, you get a free drink. You can also use your LocalOK card here for discounts.

    Wonderful service cute name but the black cup of coffee (Colombian blend) was not good. The chai was luke warm and very spicy. The atmosphere was a miss as well. Not very warm and inviting.

  • 3/5 Alfred 11 months ago on Google
    Great coffee, just Love the atmosphere but it is not a foolish thing to expect a clean bathroom.

  • 2/5 Michael P. 11 months ago on Google
    Extremely dry and bland blueberry (maybe 5 blueberries total inside) muffin and small drip coffee was $7.31. A little overpriced given the quality. I came here because I saw a photo another reviewer posted for pancakes that looked perfect but they no longer offer them, I should have just left.

  • 1/5 Kendall W. 2 years ago on Google
    The only way I could distinguish between each item I ate was due to the texture. There was no taste... kind of like those diners for the elderly with no extensive palate. No salt... no pepper ... I wanted to try something new. Lesson learned.

  • 4/5 Derek J. 5 years ago on Google
    A modern/hip coffee house in downtown Tulsa serving specialty brews and snacks. Really comfortable as a work space to just sit down and enjoy some coffee while studying away. The food didn't particularly impress me, and the coffee is what you would expect of a specialty coffee house. Still I would recommend stopping by if you are looking for something a little more than your average cup of joe.

  • 5/5 Michael H. 2 years ago on Google
    An absolute gem in downtown Tulsa. Great entertainment there recently as well! Truly a Tulsa staple — highly suggested to anybody looking for great coffee and lite bites.

  • 5/5 TR T. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely setting just outside of the downtown hustle. Spacious seating inside and out. My visit I was able to try their two different cold brew styles and ended up purchasing their oak barrel finished version. The owner, Justin Carpenter, has done multiple food and beverage ventures around the area. Would recommend any place he jumps into next.

  • 4/5 Anisha P. 1 year ago on Google
    Quiet place to study. Large tables, mostly deserted. The chai latte was delicious and the barista was helpful.

  • 5/5 Em A. 1 year ago on Google
    They are polite and very personable. The atmosphere is nice with soft music playing. The Chai is amazing and so is the chicken nightclub.

  • 5/5 Ryan J. 1 year ago on Google
    There is nothing foolish about this coffee shop, unless we are talking about how underappreciated it is. Foolish Things is downtown adjacent, has ample parking and very helpful staff. If I had a suggestion it would be to add some semi private seating. I like to meet clients and partners out of the office fairly frequently and some semi privacy is appreciated. Not necessary, but appreciated. Overall this coffee shop is going on my list of places to visit again! Well done.

  • 4/5 Nannette M. 1 year ago on Google
    This was one of the more unique establishments I have been in Tulsa. The Jasmine Tea was fabulous and the iced chai tea latte yummy!

  • 5/5 Ainsleigh S. 1 year ago on Google
    Quiet coffee shop. They also have a small patio for those that love patio seating.☕️😎

  • 2/5 Debbie R. 1 year ago on Google
    We visited Foolish Things this morning and were disappointed. The staff was meh to plain rude. We ordered the breakfast burrito which was good enough. Then our friend arrived and they told her “the kitchen is closed”. Which … fine, ok. Then another customer arrives and they take his food order! Our friend asks about this and they tell her, “we’ll let you know”. Of course, we never hear back. They forgot my coffee and when I asked for it, they looked at me like I was being such an inconvenience. All this being said, the coffee was great and that’s why they get two stars.

  • 5/5 Josh G. 1 year ago on Google
    Best coffee shop in T-town. Food is always on point, coffee is always done right. Well made decisions for interior decor, everything feels like it was thought out. Can’t beat it.

  • 5/5 Brettin W. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place, not only for their coffee and their rose water lemonade (try both at the same time with their signature Dusty Rose!) but also for being a wonderful events venue. We had our wedding reception here, and all the guests loved the space — it was perfect for us! They are flexible and easy to work with. Thanks for a great time, for the big and the small days!

  • 3/5 Colby P. 1 year ago on Google
    *visiting from out of town* Overall atmosphere isn’t bad. The space itself is nice, and there is decent outdoor seating. The barista was not friendly or welcoming. We got a cappuccino, a cortado, and a burrito. My partner said their cortado tasted burnt, my cappuccino was okay, and the burrito was good! Due to the attitude of the barista and the quality of the coffee we will likely not be returning during our next visit.
