Elemental Coffee - Will Rogers Airport
7100 Terminal Dr, Oklahoma City, OK
Crema's Take
“This airport outpost of Elemental Coffee operates with automated machines rather than skilled baristas, which unfortunately results in bitter, poorly steamed drinks that fall short of the original OKC location's reputation. While the staff is genuinely friendly and the early morning hours (opening at 4:30am) make it convenient for travelers near Gate 8, reviewers consistently note the gap between expectation and reality—matcha tea and pastries fare better than the coffee itself. If you're stuck at Will Rogers Airport, it's a serviceable grab-and-go option, but locals recommend managing your expectations about the espresso drinks.”

They use an automated machine to make coffee. I got a latte but it wasn't a steamed milk and the coffee is extremely bitter. The service is nice.
I was excited to see Elemental open in the OKC Airport. Sadly, the coffee is nothing like their OKC location. The Barista who served me was very sweet - but clearly unaware about coffee. There are no pour overs, and the coffee quality is not good. Very sad.
Elemental Coffee is located near Gate 8 in the restricted departure lounge. This is a take-away coffee shop offering standard coffee drinks, breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Opening hours are 4.30am to 5pm daily. I stopped by prior to an early departure and found their Cortado a bit too milky but not bad. Cinnamon Roll was fairly good. Staff were friendly, service timely and prices ok considering this is an airport branch. Nice having early morning options not called Starbucks as well.
I was so happy when I found out elemental coffee was here at airport terminal! However, the drinks and service were a bit different than what I remembered from the city location. Coffee was okay, matcha latte was pretty good! But the service was meh. The barista did not respond when I said how are you or have a good day, I understand it can be stressful so I didn’t expect them to wish me back a good day but I was sad to just be ignored 😅 I love supporting small businesses but if that’s how it makes me feel, I might go to Starbucks next time..
Easily, the worst coffee shop, not only in the Oklahoma City airport, but in the entire Oklahoma City. So costly and it doesn’t even taste good. Please avoid this coffee shop, and head over to Starbucks even if it is quite a walk.
