For my first non-chain coffee shop in OKC (as a consistent cafe hopper) I was impressed with this spot's creative and unique menu. It's in a food hall, which creates a lively energy. They sell local artists' work and MUJI products! We ordered two seasonal drinks and my favorite was the Granny's House (oatmeal cookie flavor). Friendliest baristas who are lovely at chatting. Thought the Lavender Early Grey Latte could've had a stronger tea flavor though.

Prelude Coffee Roasters is located inside 8th Street Market food hall. It's a unique coffee shop that provides excellent tea and coffee products and special drinks. One of the best feature of of the shop is their tea products are from Urban Teahouse, another favorite tea shop of mine. Their specialty drinks rotate so you might not be able to get them all the time. They also sell their coffee products as well as vintage clothing at the corner of the shop. There is not a lot of options though. I got one of the specialty drinks, the Last Flight Home which is a sweet almond herbal tea from Urban Teahouse with a splash of tart cherry juice. The tea is served with a dressed up Biscoff cookie, which is my favorite feature of this specialty drink. This is how Vietnamese people like to drink their hot tea, with some sort of cookie dessert. Specialty drinks are hits or misses, but you could go with a latte as a safe option. Service is great at Prelude Coffee Roasters. This coffee shop is great for talking and hang out, but would not make a good study spot because there is a bar downstairs and it can get pretty noisy.

I love visiting Prelude Coffee Roasters to see what their seasonal specials are. The baristas are always super kind and accommodating. I love how they support local artists as well! The area around the coffee shop is small and cozy but if you're needing bigger tables, you can take your coffee downstairs in the shared space within 8th Street Market.

I had to have a working lunch and was referred to Prelude coffee. This was my first visit, and I was very pleased with my coffee and the crumble pumpkin cake was absolutely delicious. This will be a spot we frequent more. Staff was very nice and very helpful with Choosing a drink that fit my style. The ambience was great. It wasn't too loud and we could still talk and get work done. My team will be back.

LOVE!! Always peaceful and cozy here. The seasonal specials are the classiest, most-mature in the city which makes me feel very cool whenever I get one. The baristas are always incredibly nice and helpful. There's a good variety of seating. Only complaint would be that the plastic chairs at the tables are kind of flimsy and have definitely faced a decent amount of wear. Parking can be a little weird and tight at 8th Street Market, but I've never had any real problems and just park on the street if needed. Thank you!

The mocha was really well balanced! Highly recommended. The service was fine, but the place is not ideal for work. I am not coming back to have some long focus time.

What a cute coffee shop in the most obscure place! My first Kyoto Coldbrew, but it is really tasty and refreshing. I added vanilla flavor and almond milk to make it just my style.
