Title: Chimera?
Post by: Teatownclown on January 15, 2013, 04:23:25 pm
Anyone?

Wish it was out South. ;)

I bet this will work out ok. Looks conscientious.

I looked this up and it shows Chimera as being at 212 N. Main. That is the address for Miller Photography. I am confused...Scott Miller has been in that space forever. Is Chimera just taking up the front half of the building?  ???

I believe so.  There's still a sign/door there for Miller that leads down a hall to the back (or something like that)

Rob Stuart is one of the owners. He once worked for Libby Auld.

He is a good human.

Stopped in today for a coffee.  Fantastic space.  Great service.  One of the best coffees (haven't tried Phoenix yet) I have had in Tulsa. 

Question will be how many coffee shops can the downtown/near downtown area support?

Topea - 2x
Joebots Coffee
Hodges Bend
Doubleshot
Phoenix Cafe
Chimera

The Einstein that opens this summer will serve coffee.  Am I missing one?

You're missing Foolish Things Coffee Co. at 10th & Main

Also missing Gypsy, plus various small places within downtown office towers.

Is there still a Illy cafe in the Williams/BOk Tower?  Does the Atlas Courtyard have a Starbucks still or is that just drip coffee now?

If they don't have an espresso machine I don't consider them a coffee shop...  I guess that probably makes me a bit of a coffee snob.

So, at least nine (maybe ten or eleven) full service coffee shops downtown?

Tried to get a sandwich Sunday mid-afternoon. Was told "we're no longer serving food."

I was in a hurry (even moreso after having to make a second stop for a sandwich) so I didn't get clarification on what they meant. But it was well within their listed food service hours. It was the middle of the day.

It's a moot point for me, because places that jerk around with hours and otherwise waste my time with unpredictability are of little value to me.

The above might warrant some clarification..
I read the above post as "no longer serving food, ever, / now just a coffee shop"
I haven't been back since opening week, but they appear to have expanded their menu.
And serve it whenever they feel like it?   :)

Thanks. I didn't seek any clarification at the time, and none was offered.

As seems to happen to me nearly weekly, some place couldn't serve me food at an hour in which they claimed they would be serving food. So I left and found a place that could complete the business-customer relationship in a reasonable fashion.

Worst excuse for a cheese plate in my years on earth.  And, AND . . . they charge $15. 

Alley is much better.

There is something morally offensive about fauxrizo.  That said, I will drink there.  I've got more than one friend that works there.  Nice space.

Great place for coffee and/or after dinner drinks. Comfortable, cool atmosphere, nice people, not pretentious.  Classic downtown place.
