Michelangelo's Coffee & Wine Bar

This is a premier spot to crack open a book and settle in for the day on Norman's Main Street.

The staff is exceptionally kind and helpful when making a decision. The ambiance is cozy and artfully cluttered (in a good way- this is what my friends refer to me as sometimes) way. There is a good mix of comfy couches and table seating for wherever your bum wants to sit. There is space in the back that is perfect for an intimate and acoustic set or a good poetry reading. I always enjoy when I visit and by chance, one of these events is happening.

The drink menu is large and will quench your thirst whether it is coffee you crave, soda, or a glass of wine. What makes my heart melt? The Melt-a-Way mocha. Fresh, fine chocolates are showcased here (which I highly recommend) and this drink incorporates a chocolate be put in it and melt-away creating a bold and unique mocha flavor.

I think I'm going to propose painting the ceiling here?

Coffee, booze, late-night, live music, and coffeeshop art on the walls - oh, yeah, and bacon truffles.

I'd been trying to find a coffee shop in which to work and enjoy a nice cuppa in Norman, but the city had been failing miserably. Coffee shops either seemed to be the overly-corporate Starbucks or simple java-singers that wanted you to get your mug of leaded and get out (and often closed by 5p. Michaelangelo's  happily not just broke the mold, but slapped it upside the head and called its mom.

Any establishment that both sells mochas and margaritas makes me happy. With fair prices and a selection for all, this wine and coffee bar is the perfect blend. Great decor, comfortable seating, and decent beverage selections make it an excellent option for coffee talk, getting work done, or relaxing while in downtown Norman. Great service and hours that extend beyond 4p make it an excellent opportunity tucked away on Main Street.
