Sawyer set her sights on giving her community a warm, welcoming space specializing in homemade baked goods and delicious coffee, and she is succeeding.

Most items featured at Baker’s are 100% made from scratch. Many recipes have been passed down from the grandmothers of the bakers. The menu is ever evolving based on the season and on customer preferences. The knowledgeable staff at Baker’s thrives on small batch baking, ensuring maximum freshness of their offerings daily.

Sweet and spicy autumn flavors are everywhere and, with such widespread popularity, can be easy to pass over. Do not overlook the pumpkin cupcake with chai frosting. The consistency of this divine cupcake lies somewhere in between that of a dense brownie and light piece of sponge cake. It is thick enough to hold the earthy sweetness of the pumpkin yet is not heavy. The chai buttercream frosting is loaded with familiar flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. The frosting is bold and sweet but does not overpower the mild, natural sugars of the pumpkin. The house-made cinnamon roll is dreamy for those obsessed with spirals of sticky goodness. The balance between the cinnamon, sugar and yeasty dough is exactly as it should be. The icing is ooey gooey and seeps into each crevice of the sweet roll. These rolls are generously sized, travel very well and pair perfectly with a cup of dark roast coffee.

Coffee culture is always changing, and the coffee does not take a backseat to the food at Baker’s. Sawyer has teamed up with Oklahoma roaster Zero Tolerance Coffee. Zero Tolerance is a veteranowned and operated coffee roaster based in Oklahoma City. She works with their team to create unique blends of single origin roasts specifically for The Baker’s Table. These distinctive coffee blends are available to purchase by the pound, whole bean or ground. Specialty coffee drinks are poured weekly and featured in-house.

Sometimes, deliciousness sneaks up on you from a small town. That’s exactly what The Baker’s Table has done. They’ve quietly entered the homegrown coffee scene with baked goods that envelop people in comfort, making them feel like they’ve been a part of the landscape all along. Baker’s transports guests to what feels like a simpler place in time – hospitable with small-town vibes. And how lucky are we that those vibes, coffee and treats are all as lovely as ever? Happy Eating (and drinking)!
