Wonder City Coffee & Bistro — Restaurant in Locust Grove

Man I really try to be patient with this place because it’s a small business with amazing coffee. But with this small business comes random closings and inconsistent hours. This coffee shop is in a rural community and has been closed most of the days from a mild snow storm with barely any update on social media if they will open that day or not. I mention rural community in my last sentence because at least one person in the family/house has a vehicle that is capable of getting around in Oklahoma snow. The high is 45 degrees today and they are still closed.

My second issue is the employees handing the kiosk/POS out of the drive thru shack window and asking for a tip but disguising it as “if you could just answer a couple of questions….” Do they not make a living wage as a barista? How am I supposed to support a small business when my total comes out to damn near $9 after tip? I can go get a venti coffee at Starbucks for less than that. Going forward, I guess my coffee will now be after my commute and once I am in Tulsa during...

Recently discovered this with my husband on route to do a river trip for my birthday and this stop along the way started the trip on the best possible note! The most adorable coffee shop I have ever seen! Like not just in Oklahoma but anywhere! They serve Onyx coffee which is the best and most loved thing I get from NWA. They have a Cute free library which you can’t beat the cozy combination of coffee + books! Except wait you can by also having an amazing patio and added seating room with vintage tables and lamps, which they also offer! This is only an hour from where I live in Tulsa. I will be back as much as possible! The scenic drive from Tulsa to Main Street locust grove is so relaxing! If I lived closer I would be there every day! Morning coffee for work, dates, book clubs, game night with friends, I’d want to make situations to enjoy their amazing...

I drove by this charming little establishment a week or two before it opened and made a mental note to stop by next time I was in town. Finally had the opportunity today and it is a little slice of heaven! Perfectly situated in downtown Locust Grove - you can't miss it! The owner and her hubby are sweet as can be - and don't get me started on their pastries! Had their homemade zucchini olive oil cake amazingness and a dirty iced chai latte - yum yum yum! Onyx coffee is one of my favs so that's another bonus. They also have soups for lunch, wasn't in the soupy-mood when I stopped but it smelled delicious! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. They have live entertainment Saturday nights. Wish I lived closer! I will definitely stop by here more often on my way to Arkansas. It's absolutely worth it to get on the turnpike AFTER you stop for coffee and...
