Sacred Grounds — Restaurant in Lone Oak

What a refreshing change from the ubiquitous green and white coffee machine.

On a solo road trip today, I was fading and spotted this gem in the historic part of Lone Oak.

Jackpot!

At the sidewalk under the awning, the entrainment of the "welcome" was palpable before I even stepped foot in the door. Upon entering I was met with the broadest smiles. I think they truly were glad to see me even though I had never been there before.

Not only did I sip the most aromatic blend while enjoying a cup of conversation, but the brick-lined walls, shelves of interesting "things", painted furniture and locals having quiet conversations, was an all-encompassing time-traveling journey.

Sacred Grounds, our favorite cafe in Lone Oak, consistently impresses us with its delicious food and warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff is not only sweet and respectful but also makes every guest feel like part of their extended family.
