We are early risers and needed our daily fix of caffine. We had notice Michelangelos the evening before and walked over and had the most pleasurable experience ever for a coffee and wine bar.<BR/>Wished we had one in our small hometown of Broken Arrow, OK.joyce fletchernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13310669.post-75841172191660021002008-03-14T11:09:00.000-06:002008-03-14T11:09:00.000-06:00I go to Michelangelo's at least once a week. I love the staff and the food. I have never had a bad drink there. I am a soy drinker and ususally people don't know how to properly heat soy, but they make the best soy chai I've ever had. Yes, it's a little pricey, yes, it can be a little dark for reading (I bring a book light), but the excellent service and awesome company make up for it. I like that it's small and cozy - it's easy to pull off my headphones and strike up a conversation with whomever is sitting on the other end of the couch or at the next table if I want. Michael is sweet and really cares about the product he provides - he has refused to serve me a pastry becasue it wasn't fresh, and once when I was talking too much and my coffee got cold before I could drink it he gave me a brand new cup for free. I love to camp out there with my laptop and listen to live music on the weekends. I agree that Michael could provide some power strips for more people to plug in, but maybe he doesn't becasue 10 people on laptops would ruin the atmosphere. I just make sure I'm charged up before I go, and if I'm there long enough that my batery dies, well, I've been on the computer too long!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13310669.post-50671717747275654352007-06-13T01:45:00.000-06:002007-06-13T01:45:00.000-06:00Trouble with M's is that it's very expensive (most expensive coffee shop in the area). And while the employees are nice, the owner is a total jackass. It's a nice location and good for people watching, but I much prefer Buffalo Doughboy's on Lincoln and Dakota, or Cafe Europa over on Penn. Also, the coffee IS weak. M waters it down so much you can often see the bottom of the cup through it. Same brand of coffee at Doughboy's, by the way, so it's easy to compare. I'm not sure what brand Cafe Europa uses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13310669.post-72885329487067213502007-03-24T21:07:00.000-06:002007-03-24T21:07:00.000-06:00First time I've ever seen a "flame war" on a review site... Anyway, I just started going to M's after I OD'd on Stella's. I dig it! It was clean and had plenty of character. Compared w/ Stella's it had a much more mature crowd, which is a welcome change. Wireless is plenty fast, even on the patio. The baristas were exceedingly friendly too. My only complaint is that the drinks are a bit pricey. Overall an excellent coffee house!Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13310669.post-69313896194986858932007-01-23T17:52:00.000-07:002007-01-23T17:52:00.000-07:00What a great atmosphere; warm and intimate, with an ecclectic feel that would invite anyone to feel right at home. The owner takes special interest to personally greet and get to know his clientele, a rare quality. He makes his business available to local artists to display their works and play their music at no profit to himself. What he provides is a little oasis for the community where people can gather, converse, create and share. And I haven't even spoken of the great coffee, paninis and the pastries. Fabulous! Nest time I will try the wine...It's worth the time and definately worth the money, but most of all worth the sense of community that is felt there... I will continue to take my friends and spread the good word about Michael and Michaelangelo's.ZaideAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13310669.post-5963513086512525612007-01-22T20:11:00.000-07:002007-01-22T20:11:00.000-07:00Last Friday, before I went to the Mayan Theater, I stoped at Michelangelos and I loved it.

Although it's cozy and warm -- perfect for reading or hanging out -- the tables are small and electrical outlets few. The shop is not large enough to have a cell phone conversation without broadcasting what you say to the entire place. <br /><br />To read a book or study, I'd love the place.

He does not serve cheap wine or coffee. He takes pride in what he serves and the quality is above the quality of most coffee shops. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but was it necessary to leave harmful messages to hurt a business? It is a truly great place ~ visit and enjoy!

He has essentially called the people out who left bad comments. Arrogance. As the owner of a business, you should think about the impact of your words here, I've heard several people comment on your posting and quite frankly are very disappointed in how you handle conflict. If I were to complain, would I also recieve such negative feedback? Integrity. Much like love, is a word that is used but seldom practiced. Perhaps a word that should be in your vocabularly is HUMILITY.UNSPOKEN MAJORITYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13310669.post-1162051291199513232006-10-28T10:01:00.000-06:002006-10-28T10:01:00.000-06:00I am Michael Palermo, the owner of Michelangelo's A Coffee & Wine Bar. It seems to me it is to much a coincidence that my business just received those 2 negative comments, one about the bad glass of wine and the other about the watered down cheap coffee. Just a couple of days ago I caught 2 xcustomers stealing a cup of coffee. What a price to pay for your integrity! I cannot be positive that this person posted these comments.....but why not post your name when speaking badly of someone or someplace.If this person is legit then why not post your name and give me the opportunity to correct your unpleasant experience here at Michelangelo's. Blogs are great,however, it gives the BAD people in this world an opportunity to try hurting someone.

The owner has created a flawless environment that simply allows you to unwind and connect. The patrons are an excellent blend of locals and newcomers who soon become regulars. Think of coming home, sitting in your living room and snuggling up to a great book with some distant jazz. Think Michangelos.
