The perfect description borrowed from the cafe website:
“A seasonally inspired café, craft bakery and coffee curator, Kitchen 324 is the downtown address for fresh. Kitchen is all about bringing our downtown neighborhood fresh choices and authentic hospitality. In a way, our street level windows tell our story for us. Looking in you see a brightness that welcomes you. Looking out you see our fresh city – where old meets new. No. 324 is actually our address, but the story of The Braniff goes beyond its 1923 brick and limestone. One of Oklahoma City’s most historical buildings, it was once home to Paul R. Braniff’s airline company. Rumor has it the aviation pioneer would buzz over his house daily just to let his wife know he was home for dinner. Now this famous address is getting a fresh start, that Kitchen No. 324 is proud to be part of.”
