Stayed in OKC while my husband ran the memorial marathon, and our hotel was just a couple blocks from Gilded Acorn. Had to stop back in with the fam to see if the treats were as good as I remembered. They were! Ended up coming every morning and trying something new each time. Now I can honestly say from experience that the croissants, cruffins, macarons, and avocado toast are all just as delicious as the tarts! I probably consumed all the calories my husband ran off in the marathon, and I'm not one bit ashamed about it! Gilded Acorn is officially worth the buzz and my 5 stars. read more

Such a cute little coffee shop! I work downtown and Gilded Acorn is within walking distance so when I need an afternoon pick me up, this is one of my go to coffee shops. Their Matcha Lattes and Coffee Lattes are really good and their pastry selection is incredible. You will not be disappointed with anything you try. Service is also great. High recommend stopping in for a sweet drink and caffeine! read more

Disappointed with my experience at The Gilded Acorn. My order was handed to me without basic essentials like utensils or a bag, and the staff's attitude made the situation even worse. Customer service needs serious improvement. read more

The Gilded Acorn is such a gem! I had the apple matcha and it was absolutely amazing -- perfectly balanced and refreshing. The ham and cheese croissant was buttery, flaky, and so delicious. The whole place has an eclectic, cozy vibe, the staff is super friendly, and I love the charming decor. Definitely one of those spots you can relax, chat, or just enjoy a beautiful cup of something special. Highly recommend! read more

I love the ambiance here. The 2 girls working that day were nice and patient. It was hard to decide which pastry to go with since they have a good selection of yummy looking things. My croissant was delicious and perfectly warmed up. The oatmilk latte was pretty good. I feel like the pastries were fairly priced as well. We'll come back to try more next time! read more

Everything from the ambiance, to the coffee, to the desserts, to the staff was amazing. We ordered the chocolate croissant which was quite delicious. I also ordered a cappuccino and some macaroons both were incredibly yummy. I would highly recommend grabbing your next coffee or dessert here. You won't regret it. Also, this place is decorated really cute - it felt like I was at a French café. read more

The beverages are amazing, their specialty drinks taste exactly like their names. Their pastry tastes amazing but most of them were either dry or flaky, thus the 4 star rating. Ask the staff anything about their drinks and food menu, they will give you all the information you need. The ordering process is very easy and if you choose to dine-in they clean up the table for you! read more

I have been wanting to try The Gilded Acorn for months, so I was so happy to meet a friend here for lunch this week. The restaurant is located in the iconic First National building, but has an entrance from the street as well. It's clean and bright inside with several tables spread out to allow you plenty of room. The servers greeted us and offered information about their menu items. I ordered the quiche, and I definitely recommend it. I was a little disappointed with my hot chocolate; it was pretty to look at, but not very hot and very chocolate syrupy. It basically tasted like chocolate milk. I will pass on that next time. The pastry display case was gorgeous, and anyone would have a hard time deciding between all the options. I took several items home for my family to enjoy. The chocolate cruffin was really good, but the macarons weren't fresh, so that was disappointing. The chocolate croissant was just ok. So basically the pastries looked better than they tasted in my opinion. I would definitely try this place again though. read more

They have excellent coffee, tea, pastries and lunch items such as sandwiches and salads. This was also where a scene from Lee Isaac Chung's Twisters was shot, doubling as "New York." (They also used a nearby OKC street corner and had to make it look dirtier and older to closer resemble NYC). The teatime session you can have here is pretty awesome, and they serve things like macaroons and tea sandwiches. This time I went here I got the chai latte (excellent) as well as a single scoop of the peppermint flavored gelato. Interior ambience also spacious and classy, like something from the Jazz Age (maybe a deliberate theme). Also a concept from Chef Andrew Black, whose Perle Mesta is nearby. Highly recommended! read more

Not just a pretty face, these are some of the most delicious (and yes, beautiful) treats I've ever tasted. We got a couple of lattes and a couple of pastries that were recommended by the sweet (pun intended) girls working that morning. Everything was perfection, and I can't wait to go back! read more

Ok so... service is nice. If you want to pay $16 for a 12 oz drink and croissant, have fun. Don't waste your money on the matcha, and if you want to walk out with diabetes, order any of their flavored lattes. Guess I just appreciate the taste of coffee and matcha, not sugar milk on ice. Really sweet workers, maybe I should've asked about syrup to actual drink ratio. Hope this helps someone! read more

The experience: We stumbled upon this place by chance - and thankful we did! We were staying at the Colcord Hotel and this is a quick two block walk down the street. We had a fairly large lunch played so wanted to keep it light. Originally, we were just thinking of splitting a pastry and getting a coffee to go, however, our eyes got the best of us. One look at the menu and I knew I had to try something. On the menu: my husband still wanted a pastry as they are famous for their cruffins. I snuck a quick bite of the jelly/cream cheese filled pastry because it was just too good. We were then served our Prime Benedict croissant which we split half and half. This was a very healthy portion so filled us both up just enough. Topped with two poached eggs smothered in hollandaise and a side of seasoned potatoes. The drink order: The maple bourbon latte of my dreams. Perfectly sweet and bitter. I want to know how this was made so I can replicate it on my own at home. The atmosphere: think Paris x London collaboration. It definitely has inspiration from a London with the high tea and champagne emphasis. Paris comes through in the overall design of the store front and their variety of delicious pastries. We didn't have the eclair, but wow did it look like it was straight from a French patisserie. Service: our server seemed to take so much pride in working at this establishment. She shared with us the history and we learned the chef had been awarded one of the highest honors for his work in OKC. He trained in Paris and brought his talents to the Midwest city - opening three different restaurants. read more

This place used to have the best salads but apparently, they just changed their menu. I ordered their house salad which has spring mix, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a lemon vinaigrette. I also paid $5 and added chicken to it. This is what I received... this was $17 for a piece of lettuce and random sandwich condiments. I even called and went back because I thought there was a mistake and was informed there was not and that this is the house salad with chicken. 0/10 recommend read more

My husband and I had a date day in the city and decided to try the Gilded Acorn. Our first impression was that the place is sooooo aesthetically pleasing. I am a fan of dark green and the cafe just had a regal look to it with the color choices and decor. You order up front like most cafes and get to see a lovely display of desserts while doing so. The premiere items were not available and we had been looking forward to trying the caviar toast. We ordered the gilded salad, the egg salad sandwich, a London fog and a champagne cosmo. The salad was SO good! Definitely not healthy because of all the bacon AND the bacon vinaigrette but it was absolutely delicious. The egg salad sandwich was very fresh, light, and the perfect meal for lunch. The strawberry & arugula salad that came with the egg salad sandwich was absolutely delish. I normally don't like blue cheese but it complimented this side salad well. The London fog was good, not really to my own liking but my husband enjoyed it. My champagne cosmo was very tasty! Maybe a little unconventional and too much for lunch but I wanted to try it and it was good. One caveat is that everything is very expensive for a cafe, but for the upscale vibe that the Gilded Acorn is portraying it makes sense. read more

I guess I'm going to be the fly in the ointment. If possible, I'd go 3.5 stars. It's a nice place to eat - maybe even a bit above average - but I can't help but feel a lot of these 5-star reviews are based on the new and cool factor. I get the feeling the chef is trying to be careful. Everything is good, but they seem to be avoiding a lot of flavor in anything. I had the Champagne Poached Chicken Sandwich while my two friends had the soup and quiche. We also ordered an almond croissant, a key lime tart and tiramisu. The chicken sandwich was fine, but kind of one-note. I couldn't taste the carmelized apple at all. Maybe it's passé, but fig, apricot or plum would have been better choices. My friends enjoyed butternut soup, but the crust on the quiche was tough. The arugula salad that came with my sandwich was nice. Of the three pastries, the key lime tart was the best. It is a sweet key lime. I really wish someone in OKC would actually make a tart Kermit's-like key lime. The tiramisu was good, but it had nearly no coffee flavor. The almond croissant was a mess (see photo). The croissant itself was nice and flaky on the ends like it should be. The rest of the croissant was covered with a grainy cream that had only the slightest hint of almond. Maybe they're trying for finesse over flavor. If so, it comes across as half-hearted. It's a shame because the staff is so nice and it's a neat, clean little spot. Portions are good for the price. I do think if they are not offering the things in the premier part of the menu after three months, they should take it off. Definitely try it out. Go grab a coffee and pastry. The Gilded Acorn is a nice place to eat, but don't expect to be wowed. read more

An absolute Parisian dream cafe in downtown OKC!! I loooove the aesthetic of the place - everything about it from the chairs down to the tile floors were so gorgeous. I came by here in the morning, and the place had plenty of pastries to choose from. You're in absolute pastry heaven when you are here. They have sweets than savory, but we went for sweet this time and got some eclairs and a latte. The chocolate eclaire was perfect, not too sweet and super chocolatey! The dulce de leche one was good too, and so was the coffee. The people there were super friendly and kind. We're definitely coming back, and we will bring our friends and family with us too! read more

Mixed feelings about this place I want to give 4 stars. It's super cute, beautiful pasteries, delicious gelato, and luxurious but the staff seem cold I must say. I like going with friends so I don't have to focus on the treatment by the staff which seems unfeeling. Maybe they have to be that way because they don't expect customers to be friendly which I might assume could be the case considering their clientele. We did get a free sandwich the last time we went there because the kitchen accidentally must have made an extra so if we keep getting free food I'll have to up my stars. It's a bit expensive as I well but again that's expected from a fancy place like that. The coffee I got was a good price though actually quite cheap I was surprised and it was also good. My style is a bit more clarity coffee, a bit quieter more business and less Parisian snooty booty. Not sure what the allure is. read more

So...the food was OK...the mint tea was yummy. However, there was a gentleman in the dining area who stayed on his phone TALKING LOUDLY for what felt like an eternity. No staff addressed this...until, as we were leaving, a man who looked like he'd been working in the kitchen spoke to Phone Man in a low voice asking him to reduce the volume. It was such an odd experience. We haven't decided whether to return. read more

Patisserie, cafe, and tea room, owned by James Beard Award winning chef, Andrew Black. They are open daily for breakfast and lunch, and offer High Tea and Cheese & Cava experiences. The interior is a beautiful modern rendition of art deco, and filled with natural light. I loved their "High Tea" which is just $45 per person, and must be booked at least 2 days in advance. The experience includes two teas of your choice, a tiered tray of bite-sized sandwiches, and desserts like macarons, eclair, and profiteroles. I opted for the English Breakfast and Iced Moroccan Mint, both of which were full bodied and delicious with the food. During my week in OKC, I also came here a few times just for coffee and a pastry. The staff were genuinely kind, the espresso always perfectly pulled, and the pastries high quality. My favorite was their "Chocolate Mouse", a rich, fudgey chocolate cake, enrobed in chocolate ganache. Recommended. read more

Another incredible Chef Black experience with excellent high tea spot along with pastries, sandwiches, drinks, and more. The first time I came here, I came with a group of four friends including myself and we reserved High Tea. I emailed Matt, one of the employees who customized our experience by letting us choose cold tea and 1 hot tea. WE chose the spicy chai black tea for the hot option and ginger peach black tea for the cold. The High tea also included tea sandwiches, macarons, and other small pastries. We ordered champagne for an extra cost and enjoyed that as part of our High Tea experience. I came here another time with a group of 4 friends from work and we had breakfast after the Outpace Cancer Race. I ordered a Matcha Latte - which was delicious! and also the Lox & Bagel. Everything was amazing and service great. I love the Tiffany's vibes with wrapped boxes featured in the window and a color theme of elegant green and gold throughout. The interior is fancy, yet comfortable. Great experience and I will definitely be back! read more

TL;DR - The kitchen is closed on Sundays. My friend's birthday month began & we were so excited to kick it off with a Sunday brunch here. The staff was friendly & explained that the kitchen was closed on Sundays but there were pastries, sweets & coffee to order. The decor & tableware were so cute & nostalgic. I ordered a caramelizer espresso & a salted caramel cupcake, while my friend ordered the chocolate hazelnut espresso & a carrot cake. They were good, but we were still so bummed about the kitchen being closed. While we were there, I made a brunch reservation at tellers so we waited there until the reservation time. While we waited many people came in we're told the kitchen was closed & promptly left. We really hope to catch the kitchen open one day but definitely make sure to go Monday thru Saturday if you do want to try the food. read more

Cool looking pastries and good location. Seems like they missed the mark on the ambiance, I was expecting a bit more for the location/prices. Dirty counter area and couldn't tell the clean from the dirty glassware for drinks. Was out of the latte I wanted so just ordered a couple pastries. Was not served the pastries until all the drinks ahead of me were served. The tip options were from 20-30%. Lemon tart was fantastic, the chocolate croissant was missing the layering you would expect. read more

4 stars due to low staff. They needed help! I visited twice on different weekends and had to clear a table for family myself. Could be an amazing place if there is adequate staff. Plan ahead to snag a table. Food was good overall. Pastries look like La Baguette sourced but tasty nonetheless. Remember to check out Plenty Mercantile through the shared door and around the escalator! read more

I'm torn on how to rate this place. Definitely a cool spot and great ambiance. We came for the high tea and it just wasn't worth the price. The teas were okay and the sandwiches and desserts were hit or miss. Some were great and others were okay. I just can't justify the price for what we got. You're mostly paying for the experience, which is okay for a treat I guess. It would've been nice to have a secluded area for the high tea experience. read more

I am so excited to say OKC finally has a pastry, champagne, and lunch area downtown! This spot is perfect for folks who either work in the area OR friends and family who are out celebrating. They have a large array of pastries to choose from, all look very delicious. I decided to try the almond croissant which was what I needed. They also have a nice selection of lattes, espressos, and hot beverages. I tried their lavender latte which was yummy. I was meeting a friend so found a spot to enjoy my dessert before lunch (lol). I had a chicken sand which and they had the French dip. Both of us we're very happy with our choice. Mine came with a side salad which I was sure to eat first after having chowed down on the croissant. I love this concept, the aesthetics are everything but the food is even better. Can't wait to come back with some girlfriends to pair a pastry with champagne. Would love to see more seating options as there is only one available spot for large groups and the rest is either a two-four seater tables. read more

We tried the Gilded Acorn this morning. She had the raspberry cruffin which was very good. It had cream cheese inside surrounded by raspberry filling.

Takes 25 minutes to get one order of food to-go. I've given so many chances. Today, they gave my food to another table, left it with them for 5 min, realized it was the wrong order, took the plate back to the kitchen and boxed it up and gave it to me. Just no. Remake it!!! I watched it happen. Stick to coffee only here unless you want to waste time and end up frustrated and rushed read more
