If you really like coffee, you may have heard about Charlie Bean Coffee in Mustang, OK. Recently, my wife and I took a little trip to Mustang to check it out. Located 1/2 mile E of Mustang Rd. on Hwy 152, you can't help but be impressed when you get there. Charlie Bean is spacious, homey and comfy with leather furnishings and a fireplace for ambience. You will notice the roaster as Charlie Bean roasts the beans themselves giving you the freshest coffee ever. There are numerous blends to choose from--we got a 3-pack (cinnamon sticky bun, English Toffee, and Heavenly Hazlenut). We bought the whole beans--grinding the coffee yourself at home and using a French Press to brew it gives you THE best flavor for your morning caffeine fix at home.

The menu is extensive with a wonderful selection of sandwiches, salads, even pizza for lunch and dinner and of course there is a breakfast menu too. WIFI is also available for those who want a to have a working breakfast or lunch.

It's worth the short drive to Mustang to check it out. You'll be glad you did.
