Lift Coffee - Tahlequah

Food/coffee was decent but service was trash. Waited over an hour for waffles. At an hour, they finally told us they had an issue. Others had already been served with our group with 30-45 minutes between plates.

You cannot complain about the price of the coffee here. Stop by and treat yourself. Extremely smooth well pulled espresso, even the cold brew is exceptional. They have very good baristas that know what they're doing. The atmosphere inside is very calming.

My wife and I were touring the Tahlequah area and decided to stop by for a first-time visit to this inviting downtown coffee shop near the college campus. The fresh-brewed coffee and chocolate chip cookies were an excellent mid-afternoon snack, and one of the young ladies serving that day was polite and efficient in bringing our coffee to the table and ensuring the table was clean. However, when I returned to the cash register to ask for refills later, I stood awaiting the customer ahead of me to be served by the other young lady on duty. As that transaction ended, a young man with a dog on-leash entered the door adjacent to the cash register, and the young lady immediately left her post and moved near the dog, then knelt and scratched the dog’s ears and muzzle, allowing the dog to lick her face repeatedly. She then returned to her post at the cash register. I then stepped forward to request our refills, and she reached out to grab the cups. I withdrew the cups and said, “I would prefer you sanitize your hands from loving on the puppy before handling these cups.” Without comment she turned and washed her hands at the nearby sink and returned to fulfill my request. Apparently, basic hygiene practices and customer relations have not been a part of employee training.

Awesome atmosphere!! Amazing coffee!! It's a relaxing atmosphere to have little meetings. And super cheap to rent out the back room for work meetings or get togethers!

Great spot for breakfast. You must try the cinnamon roll waffles, they’re amazing.
