Over the past year or so, Oklahoma City has been invaded by legions of national coffee chains that seem to anchor every intersection or new development, recalling memories of the great Walgreens / CVS (Eckerd) turf war of the 1990s.
Although I'm sure these spots make great industrial-scale coffee, I'm more partial to the local stomps that provide a little more character, and often, better food and drink.
That's why I recently stopped by Toast and Coffee – a coffee shop in the burgeoning Uptown District at 2416 N. Robinson.
