The Gilded Acorn

They have excellent coffee, tea, pastries and lunch items such as sandwiches and salads. This was also where a scene from Lee Isaac Chung's Twisters was shot, doubling as "New York." (They also used a nearby OKC street corner and had to make it look dirtier and older to closer resemble NYC). The teatime session you can have here is pretty awesome, and they serve things like macaroons and tea sandwiches. This time I went here I got the chai latte (excellent) as well as a single scoop of the peppermint flavored gelato. Interior ambience also spacious and classy, like something from the Jazz Age (maybe a deliberate theme). Also a concept from Chef Andrew Black, whose Perle Mesta is nearby. Highly recommended!

I have been wanting to try The Gilded Acorn for months, so I was so happy to meet a friend here for lunch this week. The restaurant is located in the iconic First National building, but has an entrance from the street as well. It's clean and bright inside with several tables spread out to allow you plenty of room.The servers greeted us and offered information about their menu items. I ordered the quiche, and I definitely recommend it. I was a little disappointed with my hot chocolate; it was pretty to look at, but not very hot and very chocolate syrupy. It basically tasted like chocolate milk. I will pass on that next time. The pastry display case was gorgeous, and anyone would have a hard time deciding between all the options. I took several items home for my family to enjoy. The chocolate cruffin was really good, but the macarons weren't fresh, so that was disappointing. The chocolate croissant was just ok. So basically the pastries looked better than they tasted in my opinion. I would definitely try this place again though.

I stopped in quickly to grab some delicious treats for my kids and I can't wait to go back and try their lunch and tea! The display had many beautiful breads and sweets displayed and the staff were so helpful and friendly.

Beautiful interior, thoughtful food, divine pastries and adorable staff. I am in love with this place

Patisserie, cafe, and tea room, owned by James Beard Award winning chef, Andrew Black. They are open daily for breakfast and lunch, and offer High Tea and Cheese & Cava experiences. The interior is a beautiful modern rendition of art deco, and filled with natural light. I loved their "High Tea" which is just $45 per person, and must be booked at least 2 days in advance. The experience includes two teas of your choice, a tiered tray of bite-sized sandwiches, and desserts like macarons, eclair, and profiteroles. I opted for the English Breakfast and Iced Moroccan Mint, both of which were full bodied and delicious with the food. During my week in OKC, I also came here a few times just for coffee and a pastry. The staff were genuinely kind, the espresso always perfectly pulled, and the pastries high quality. My favorite was their "Chocolate Mouse", a rich, fudgey chocolate cake, enrobed in chocolate ganache. Recommended.

Not just a pretty face, these are some of the most delicious (and yes, beautiful) treats I've ever tasted. We got a couple of lattes and a couple of pastries that were recommended by the sweet (pun intended) girls working that morning. Everything was perfection, and I can't wait to go back!

A perfect spot in the city for pastries and coffee. I got the cortado. It was delicious. My son got a chocolate mouse and I got a cruffin. The place is super cute. I heard they have tea service too.

The experience: We stumbled upon this place by chance - and thankful we did! We were staying at the Colcord Hotel and this is a quick two block walk down the street. We had a fairly large lunch played so wanted to keep it light. Originally, we were just thinking of splitting a pastry and getting a coffee to go, however, our eyes got the best of us. One look at the menu and I knew I had to try something. On the menu: my husband still wanted a pastry as they are famous for their cruffins. I snuck a quick bite of the jelly/cream cheese filled pastry because it was just too good. We were then served our Prime Benedict croissant which we split half and half. This was a very healthy portion so filled us both up just enough. Topped with two poached eggs smothered in hollandaise and a side of seasoned potatoes. The drink order: The maple bourbon latte of my dreams. Perfectly sweet and bitter. I want to know how this was made so I can replicate it on my own at home. The atmosphere: think Paris x London collaboration. It definitely has inspiration from a London with the high tea and champagne emphasis. Paris comes through in the overall design of the store front and their variety of delicious pastries. We didn't have the eclair, but wow did it look like it was straight from a French patisserie. Service: our server seemed to take so much pride in working at this establishment. She shared with us the history and we learned the chef had been awarded one of the highest honors for his work in OKC. He trained in Paris and brought his talents to the Midwest city - opening three different restaurants.

An absolute Parisian dream cafe in downtown OKC!! I loooove the aesthetic of the place - everything about it from the chairs down to the tile floors were so gorgeous. I came by here in the morning, and the place had plenty of pastries to choose from. You're in absolute pastry heaven when you are here. They have sweets than savory, but we went for sweet this time and got some eclairs and a latte. The chocolate eclaire was perfect, not too sweet and super chocolatey! The dulce de leche one was good too, and so was the coffee. The people there were super friendly and kind. We're definitely coming back, and we will bring our friends and family with us too!

LOVE this place. Coffee is delicious, service was top notch, and the pastries melt in your mouth. Very convenient location as it is located in the National Hotel.
