We also own a little coffee shop in OKC. Vintage Coffee at 150th and Western. It's not really a trendy and edgy kind of place, more laid back and low key. I can't do trendy + caffeine, makes me irritable! lol.

The operative words in that sentence are:
150th and Western. Much of Coffee Slingers' appeal is what it represents for the downtown urban core, where many of the posters here live, work, and/or play.
I happen to live in your neck of the woods, and have tried your shop. I wasn't wholly impressed at the time (I believe I did try the Smoofee), but am certainly willing to try it again. I've been to Coffee Slingers on multiple occasions because of its convenience to where I work. I hop right off the highway, run in, and have my cup of joe to go to work on.

Anyway, sorry for advertisement, I guess I'm just jealous of the buzz that these guys are creating.

Buzz is a funny thing. In the case of Coffee Slingers, it was built of the excitement this new concept brought to downtown. Again, many of the folks on these boards live, work and play downtown, so the buzz got going. As you can tell, however, buzz also goes both ways.
