You probably know our go-to coffee shop is Starbucks. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they were unable to keep the cafe and patio open. That gave us the chance to spend time at the other coffee houses in Shawnee. We have some terrific options—including THREE indy shops downtown alone!Survival Guide
So I can share my caffeinated love, I felt compelled to share a little survival guide with our Shawnee friends and neighbors. We're fortunate to have a number of quality coffee shops in Shawnee. We enjoy all of them on occasion. Who knows? You may find yourself a new coffee home at one of these coffee houses!- Coffee N' Crafts cafe, sidewalk patio

Obviously there are fast food, convenience stores and restaurants that have good coffee (e.g. I like Sonic coffee in a pinch!), but I've just included places on the map that are mainly coffee. I won't judge harshly if you go to Jimmy's Egg or Cracker Barrel for your coffee :)
Sharon and I started our love of Starbucks around 2002, about when I started working for the Oklahoma Association of REALTORS® in Oklahoma City. Our "home" Starbucks at that time was at 63rd and Western in Nichols Hills Plaza. And our gateway drink was the Mocha Frappuccino (The "MF"). We got to know a number of regulars and also some amazing baristas—like Jessica Winderweedle. Jessica is another OBU alum and worked her way up at that store and then came back home to open Shawnee's first—and still only—Starbucks in 2006. (They kept our "housewarming" rubber tree plant alive for a number of years!)
I encourage you to love on the local coffee shops Shawnee has to offer. Let us know which is your favorite!
