This weekend I went to the Gathering Place and, I can honestly say, that I truly loved it. But, before you start to load the car up for the arduous drive to Tulsa, I’m mean, more specifically, the Gathering Place Coffee Co. at 415 East Main Street in Shawnee.
As you may have heard by now, Tulsa’s snake-infested hovel the Gathering Place has been rather inhospitable to this small-time coffee house, selfishly throwing lawyers and other legal nonsense their way, out of fear that people might mistake their breakfast burritos as log flumes. You know how people are.
But being smart enough to differentiate between the two joints, I stopped by the one in Shawnee purposefully this past Saturday to not only try their coffee, but to make sure that there are no similarities between either entity because, to be fair, I have been wrong before and ended up with a chlorinated latte.
