The Gypsy Coffeehouse 303 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Tulsa, OK 74013

303 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. ( formerly 303 N. Cincinnati Avenue) was home to The Gypsy Oil Company until the 1930s. The company sprang up in Tulsa sometime around the early 1900s. The Gypsy Oil Company eventually became Gulf Oil Oklahoma, and then the Warren Petroleum Company. The building had many owners until it was purchased and renovated in the late 90s.
 In 2000 The Gypsy Coffeehouse and Cybercafe was opened. The Gypsy has been a Tulsa icon for almost 15 years, I know I spent many weekends hanging out here late at night during my high school days. The Gypsy was one of the first coffeehouses in Tulsa to put true coffeehouses on the map in the city. When somebody thinks of a coffeehouse they probably imagine a place like Gypsy.

Smooth and bold, a little sweet and little bitter; we should all be espresso.
