illūm
400 Civic Center, Tulsa, OK
Crema's Take
“Tucked conveniently inside Tulsa's library, this bright café has quickly become a community gathering spot with genuinely refreshing specialty drinks like their standout mango lemonade that rivals state fair classics. The welcoming atmosphere and relaxed vibe make it perfect for lingering over a coffee or meeting a friend, though you'll want to stick to their drinks and creative specialty items rather than the food offerings. It's a thoughtful addition to downtown that feels designed for connection as much as caffeine.”

The sandwich was quite dry and bland. I wanted to go to Kai Vietnamese Cuisine but that place was so packed and had a wait during my lunch break. I saw this place was around the corner so decided why not. The place was empty—this should have been my first clue. The sandwiches are overpriced and do not come with a side. Not even a few great value chips, nevertheless my sandwich had “extra avocado” (tasted like old guac spread). There was “hummus” on one side but I think the container was empty or they ran out. Also out of pesto. Overall pretty bumped about my lunch. I ended up getting some snacks at the work vending machine to help fill my still hungry stomach. I wish I would have waited and went to Kai Vietnamese Cuisine. I won’t be coming back.
What a lovely little cafe shop so conveniently in the library and so open to community togetherness. They have a lovely lemonade, that’s arguably more refreshing than even state fair lemonade. The lemonade with strawberry and lavender flavor is so fruity and refreshing( like a fruit roll up without the excessive sweetness).. very yummy. Tried the Tulsa Club, which is a very easily shareable sandwich full of deliciousness 10/10 would eat again. The chocolate muffin was a delicious little treat to tag along with the lemonade, the flavors complemented each other very well. And the ladies running it are very friendly, love a good friendly chat. They have a community plant wall I am so looking forward to taking part in!
I had the TBR on sourdough and mango lemonade it was amazing the service was great atmosphere relaxing and clean
Such a fun place. All the options are delicious and worth coming back for. Support this business!
What a refreshing addition to downtown Tulsa and the library! illūm has just opened, and I'm genuinely thrilled about it. Their establishment boasts a delightful atmosphere, and I must say, they offer a wide range of options to give your lemonade a truly invigorating twist. As for the food, I opted for the chicken salad, and it was nothing short of scrumptious. The chicken salad had this delightful blend of flavors that danced on my taste buds – truly a delectable experience.
