They are moving just North up to the former Table Ten / Lava space. Set to be in by October. I think its going to be a great spot for Blue Moon. I've always loved the food but the space was so so. The lava space will bring more light, more outdoor seating and more foot traffic. Sweet.
Good to hear, that is a good location and hopefully they have outdoor seating.
I noticed when I went into KoKoa this past weekend that they are closing their Brookside location and concentrating solely on their Utica Square shop. I wonder what would take its place? Coffee shop, bar/lounge, ethnic restaurant??
And I've heard Louie's Bar/Grill is opening a location in the old Delta Cafe, is this true?
I heard Blue Moon will also offer an expanded menu and serve dinner some nights at the new location. In fact, a blue moon is already pained on the front window of the Lava space.

So no more KoKoa restaurant? That will just leave the Utica Square shop and the lunch place downtown?

No more restaurant on Brookside and only the chocolate/pastry shop in Utica Square. It will be interesting to see what takes their place.

What is Cosmo Cafe, what type of place is it?

Have never been to this place so can't comment on it. But here is the link.

There is currently a location at 68th and Memorial. It has your standard cafe offerings and alcohol, and has a kind of "artsy" interior.
It's pretty good.
If Cosmos Cafe takes up the whole Delta space, that will be a really large cafe.
As a general matter, the higher price point establishments have had a tougher time of it the past few years in Brookside (Ford's Filling Station, Table 10/Lava). In contrast, more recent newcomers like Sonoma, Keo and Hibiscus all seem to be doing well.

Just to add to the rumors, I heard it was going to be a wolfgang puck restaraunt. What ever it is it's a huge space. In fact it looks like the wall is opened up between Delta and the old SW Regalos so it may be even bigger.

So big I thought it could potentially be a gym. I think I would prefer a Wolfgang Puck restaurant, or a California Pizza Kitchen...
California Pizza is good, but not great. It sure as heck beats Delta Cafe.
Glad that Blue Moon is moving to bigger digs, but hope it doesn't get too ambituous. Part of its appeal to me is its small size---oh, and the Cherry Street rolls. Can't forget about the Cherry Street rolls.
Went down fryday nite to Brookside...parking was nutz...so were most the hangers....this Delta cafe potential only adds to the parking problems.... 61st and Memorial may alleviate some of that Peoria congestion. It's painful to go out some nights....
Tulsa seems like a town that likes it's cars and is not pedestrian friendly.
But the Blue Moon is awesome and that location is a terrific fit for Brookside!
Ya sure Blue Moon is not going into Kokao's old space.......
There is already a blue moon painted on the front window of old Lava space.
Yes. Deals done...

I haven't been to the Blue Moon since Mike died. I loved their Potato Leek Soup.
Mike was my roommate in college and a dear friend.
You should break down and go. Mike was a good, gentle soul and he would be happy to see his European bakery concept has succeeded. Its not the same of course, but nothing ever is.

Tony Henry owns the building? HUH? Tulsa World, the demon thinks you may be wrong. Henry has the "master" lease.
Me thinks.
Phil and Miranda will do a good job. And they will not be a huge draw late night. T. Henry certainly was looking for the right mix.
But so many eateries crossing over into similar product. Hope they are thinking "healthy"....
I'm glad the old Delta Cafe space will be divided into several different establishments. Hopefully that will add to the variety of the area.

The Kokoa space will be occupied by a similar business this November: Kupcakz, which will have, you guessed it, cupcakes and also pastries and coffee/espresso. This will be third location in Tulsa, the others are at 71st & Mingo and there is a kiosk in Woodland Hills Mall. The owner also plans to open a cupcake/coffee kiosk at the BOK Center.

I think a bakery would do well in downtown, especially if they contracted to provide bread and desserts to local restaurants and hotels.
I drove past last night and the Blue Moon was open and full of people. There were lots of people all over Center 1 last night. And the Kupcakez place is called Caramel according to the signage. I am glad the storefronts are not sitting there empty.
They have Marshalls on tap to go with their fine fare.
Place is hopping.

No. There are other attractions there as well.
