| Delicious Vanilla Latte |
As I walked into
this new and extremely retro coffee shop just down the street from TU on
Eleventh Street, the scent
of freshly brewed, hot coffee filled my nose and the room was warm and welcoming
as if persuading you to sit down, relax, and enjoy a tasty, creamy latte.

| Pictures of Tulsa line the walls |
The
main room of the shop has high ceilings, allowing you to breathe easy and
feel comfortable. The coffee shop provides free wifi for easy internet
access for those who would like to catch up on school work or business affairs. The large windows provide the shop with
vibrant, encompassing light and the view of bustling Eleventh Street makes you
feel right at home in North Tulsa.
The light fixtures are low hanging, circular, white cloth; simple, yet something I had never seen before, adding to the retro look of the room. The ventilation system is exposed, giving the room a very natural feel and reiterates the appeal of a local coffee shop. The walls are lined with pictures of the Tulsa skyline and various buildings many Tulsa natives recognize right away; paying tribute to the great city this coffee shop calls home.

The
barista was pleasant and got me my drink quickly, bringing it to my table. The vanilla latte I ordered was delicious,
making any Starbucks a bit worried about local competition. My latte had an elaborate design amidst the
frothy cream atop the steaming coffee underneath waiting to be sipped with
pleasure.
“It is great working here," the barista told me. "There are slow days, but that is with any coffee shop. We get a lot of local college students looking for a place to study and even an older crowd comes in every once in awhile to try it out.”

| Inside 918 Coffee |
Everything
about 918 Coffee is similar to a mainstream coffee shop like that of Starbucks,
but I can assure you, the local feel and the ideal, convenient location for TU
students and Tulsans alike makes 918 Coffee unique and special because it
emphasizes its loyalty to the city and caters to the taste of the people of Tulsa.
