This is actually in Guthrie, but it’s the absolute best shop and so worth the trip! They are my personal favorite roaster, but you can try a cup across the street at Aurora if you can’t get up to Guthrie.

Get the elotes pizza! This place is huge and I recommend going on a weeknight, sitting on the patio to avoid the wild crowds and long waits, but totally worth it! Wine, pizza, salads, and desserts make for a great night out for really any occasion. Brunches are fun too, but also get a little crazy. Make a reservation!
