OWNER

Tony Bruce Jr. is the founder and owner of BRU Coffee in Owasso, Oklahoma. Before coffee, Tony built a professional sprint car driver career, racing nationally and earning wins in prestigious events nationwide. After years of life on the road, he returned home with a new mission—creating a space for people to gather, connect, and feel valued.

Tony believes in chasing dreams and reaching a person’s highest potential, this motivates him to be involved in many aspects of the Owasso Community, and he is most proud of being involved in helping raise money for grants for the teachers through the Owasso Education Foundation every year. 

Happiest behind the scenes, Tony brings the same drive and energy from his racing days into building a welcoming, people-first environment. For him, Brú isn’t just about coffee—it’s about making the best possible coffee shop.

When he isn’t being Bru’s Choas Coordinator, he enjoys golfing and spending time with his family.

CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

I’ve been at Brú for over four years now. This is my career, I’ve devoted so much time to building what Brú is today. I’m proud of what we have accomplished as a business and excited for our future. The best part of my day is working in the stand and seeing my favorite regulars and being able to work alongside some of my favorite people. This truly is the best. 🤍

When I’m not bouncing around the stands or making coffee, you can find me at Pure Health Performance in Bartlesville with my Olympic Barbell Club or hanging out in Broken Arrow with my Dad and two daughters. 

My Go-To Lotus: Stargazer with Lotus Cream 

My Go-To Coffee: Shaken honey, cinnamon, toasted marshmallow Americano with coconut milk.
