cuppies and joe

just delicious. i love this place! they have free wi-fi, cupcakes and coffee.. what else do you need? theplacedoes get super packed, but you can't hate on them for being successful.

good cupcakes and drinks. casual "vintage" atmosphere.. the cupcakes are good. i made a mecca all the way to that "up and coming" (but not there yet) area just to get their cupcakes. the icing is sweet and "lighter" than some other gourmet cupcake stores around here.

the coffee is fine, but i really like their tea and their italian sodas. they have interesting flavors to add in, like lavender and a dozen or two other flavor add-in options. i haven't found many other places around here that have that many flavor add-in varieties.

i spent $8.something for a drink and 2 cupcakes. it's not absorbantly pricey, but it's not cheap either. cupcakes are around $3 each, maybe $2.50 each. they're a bit small, and slightly underbaked so they're not dry. i like their cupcakes.

would i go all the way there, and to that area, just for cupcakes often? not so much. but if i want a casual "vintage" (let's call it that)placeto hang out a while and also want cupcakes, it's worth a trip.

thisplaceis.... "vintage." the building is a run down old house with run down "garage sale" furniture. it's old and worn out but has it's charm.

it can get crowded during rush hour and it can be hard to find a seat. a lot of people come here to "study" but often end up talking for hours on end. i wouldn't suggest coming here to study, but it's a chillplaceto meet up with a friend at during non-peak hours. i've been hating on theplace(and the area) for people calling it "trendy" (it's still not that nice of a surrounding neighborhood), but the cupcakes are good enough for me to make a mecca there and hang out every once in a while.

i had the don cupcake, it was a vanilla cupcake with italian cream frosting. it was delicious!! and the coffee was superior as well. a great littleplaceto come enjoy a "cuppie" and a cup of joe. try have decent sized tables and extremely comfy couches. greatplaceto come study as well =d i will definitely be returning!

great atmosphere, a goodplaceto sit and chat with a friend, or study/read. cute decor, great cupcakes, great coffee, great service! the key lime pie is the best!! open later than most so it's a go to for late night treats. 10/10 would recommend!

this is by far one of my favorite coffee shops! the coffee is great and the cupcakes are wonderful. the venue has an open but cozy vibe and the prices are very reasonable. it's a greatplacefor visiting or homework.

home away from home. have a paper to write? work kicking your butt? going through a breakup? let me introduce you to cuppies. the genuinely friendly faces (and people) welcome you in and offer you comfy couches and relaxing beverages and sweets. it's a warmplacefor community, learning, first dates & heart to hearts with best friends.

when i visit a facility that focuses so specifically on one food i'm expecting a great deal of adventure, experimentation and fusion to come out of the kitchen. in some respects thisplacehas it. it's definitely a good stop for an afternoon or early evening treat. i would like to see some improvement and what they offer on the top of those tasty cupcakes in the way of icing. regardless of that most anyone can find something to appreciate at this quaint little spot. the friendly service is a plus.

so yummy! i absolutely love the cupcake selection! some of the best cupcakes with the best frosting in town! also great coffee and italian cream sodas! such a cute and cozy littleplaceto relax!

nice chai latte and chocolate cupcake!. thisplaceis quaint, and has much butter cupcakes than a lot of other places, love the charm of the wood floors and atmosphere! the line was out the door this last saturday, so that obviously speaks volumes about their business, and the chai latte was amazing!

thisplaceis such a joke. full of obnoxious suspender-wearing hipster jerks. besides the crappy "worn" look theyre going for, there's no where to sit if there's more than 5 people there. awful business.

felt like i was sitting, uninvited, in someone's living room.... you may need to take into consideration that this review follows a visit to this popular okc coffee hangout for the first time on a saturday morning at 11:30.

i'm not going to give a comprehensive review the coffee (i'm not an fan of elemental coffee -- too grassy tasting and light for me) or the cupcakes (good, but nothing special -- had the vanilla sky... cake was a bit rubbery and had the consistency of cornbread, frosting was sweet and a bit grainy, but tasted good).

i'm mainly reviewing the atmosphere. thing is, theplaceis popular. the electic furniture is well-placed, and lends itself to parties of one or two, quiet reading, studying or quiet conversation. the only spots available when i arrived were two side chairs across from a sofa that was occupied. i begrudgingly took one of the side chairs, which was comfortable, and attempted to avoid eye contact with the couple sitting across from me. i felt like i was invading someone's living room. clearly, this was a spot for a larger party, but i didn't have a choice. they left, and a single person quickly nabbed the sofa, kitty-corner from me. the side chair to my left remained empty for a while.

about half an hour into my visit, a group of about six people came in. they stood right behind me (within 2 feet), obviously catching up after having not seen each other for a while. they were loud. i pushed my earbuds in more firmly, and turned up the volume to attempt to drown them out. (i should bring up the music choice, now. i'm a fan of unobtrusive music in my coffee shops: quiet jazz, indie, classical, etc... genre doesn't matter, but it shouldn't be too loud. the music was loud, country-ish, and loud. did i mention it was loud?)

the group got larger as time went on, and soon there was a line from the counter to almost the door of chattering guests -- to a baby shower. sigh... they have a back room, apparently, which accommodates larger groups. thing is, it almost seemed like there were two parties happening, one planned, and one, perhaps not booked. three times, people literally hoisted their leg over the chair next to me, and squeezed between my chair and the other one, to get through. come on, people!!!!! that's just beyond rude. give me some personal space.

while i can not fault the management for the behavior of the patrons, i can say that they have really done nothing to encourage a calm, quiet, coffee experience.

and oh yeah... i'm tired of hipsters badmouthing starbucks... i had to listen in (had no way to avoid hearing) a group of patrons extolling the superiority of the coffee experience at cuppies. now, i know it is currently hip to badmouth starbucks, and be generally anti all things green mermaid, and i adore independent coffee shops, but at least i don't have people climbing over me at starbucks, and i don't feel like i'm sitting uninvited in someone's living room.

i'm a fan. though not always perfect, i enjoy my time at c&j. the lattes are spot on (with latte art) and the cupcakes satisfy my sweet tooth. theplacecan be a bit crowded, so you have to try to go on an off-time to get a table. love the atmosphere and vibe. worth a visit.

a gem on 23rd. i enjoy cuppies and joe for a few reasons: it's close to me, the cupcakes are wonderful, and the coffee is good. i have never experienced a "dry" cupcake as other people mentioned. it can get a little hectic, the parking situation is getting out of hand (i hope they have a plan to improve parking). i have tried all of the cupcake bakeries in this city, and in my opinion cuppies and joe is the best. now, concerning the atmosphere: the employees and the "vibe" of theplacecan vary from great to downright snobbish. it beats red cup though, at least at cuppies i don't have 10 smoking hipsters staring me down and talking trash....plus the coffee is 100x better.

cupcake me!. i shamefully admit i have jumped on the cupcake bandwagon, and cuppies and joe is theplaceif you love them. staff is (usually) friendly, cupcakes delicious, and drinks good.

good cupcake, awesome staff. after reading several reviews on urbanspoon, i decided to pick up these cupcakes for a brithday celebration because it was the highest rated spot (over gigis, pinkitzel, sara sara, cupcake to go-go, cupcake corner) with an above average review. the cupcakes were very home-made tasting and delish. i'm so happy to have a red velvet cupcake with "cooked frosting" like my great grandma made over cream cheese(blah!). theplacewas very cozy and the people behind the counter were very friendly with my children (ages 4 and 2).

one of the best cafés in town. first of all; i am from europe, which means i have a completely different look on things compared to what maybe most americans have. i love thisplacefor three reasons:
1. it is the onlyplacein town (that i know of) that combines good coffee and an more intimate atmosphere. it may look a bit worn or old for the critical eye, but to me that is some of the charm.
2. the coffee is really good! one of the four best in town in my view. however if i want good coffee i go to their coffee provider; elemental coffee
3. the cupcakes are good.
i see some here complains about the service. i do not have that experience at all. on the contrary. they have always been polite and patient to me and given the service i expect.
