There's nothing like needing a local coffeehouse when all you can find are Starbucks locations on every corner. It's frustrating, but don't give up. Simply bookmark this list of Tulsa's locally owned coffee hot spots. 

And now that fall is on, there's no better place to be than snuggled up on an oversized chair in one a unique-to-Tulsa coffeehouse, with a warm mug of coffee goodness nuzzled between your hands. 

<strong>Cafe Cubana</strong>
Where: 1340 E. 15th Street
When: 
There's no where else in town where you can grab a quality cigar and enjoy great coffee at the same time. That Cafe Cubana is right in the heart of Tulsa's Cherry Street, which puts it super-close to some of the best shopping and dining in town, only sweetens the deal. Pro tip: When you're in for coffee, grab one of the Cherry Street breakfast burritos. Traditionally available only at the Cherry Street Farmers' Market, they're one of the most coveted breakfast concoctions in town. You'll not soon forget why. 

<strong>Coffeehouse on Cherry Street</strong>
Where: 1502 E. 15th Street
When: Monday-Wednesday, 6:30am-11:00pm; Thursday and Friday, 6:30am-12am; Saturday and Sunday, 7am-12am
It's not uncommon to walk into Coffeehouse on Cherry Street - CHoCS to locals - and find a guitarist strumming away on the patio, or someone banging out a ballad on the piano inside. That's the kind of place CHoCS is - it's where you're practically encouraged to talk to the people at the table next to you and to find that communal type of coffeehouse experience that seems mostly lost on the modern world. Plus, the place has one of the sweetest patios in town, complete with plenty of seating and a chimenea, a dream on cool autumn nights. 

<strong>Doubleshot Coffee Company</strong>
Where: 1730 S. Boston Ave. 
When: Monday-Thursday, 7am-5pm; Friday, 7am-3pm; Saturday, 9am-3pm; Sunday, closed
The owner at this coffee shop isn't known as Tulsa's coffee nazi for no reason - he's 100-percent serious about his beans, from where they're purchased to how they're roasted to how they're prepared into the coffee drink of your choice (well, almost of your choice - he's been known to exercise his right to refuse to serve you prissy coffee concoctions). <a href="http://doubleshotcoffee.com/DoubleShot.html">But when you want coffee that's been featured in Wine Spectator</a>, the Doubleshot is your place. The Doubleshot is also a good place scope out some local art. 

<strong>Gypsy Coffeehouse</strong>
Where: 303 N. Cincinnati Avenue
When: Tuesday-Thursday, 11am-11pm; Friday-Saturday, 11am-2am; Sunday, 11am-10pm
Gypsy Coffeehouse is home to a Tulsa treasure: The long-running Tuesday Open Mic Night, where only original works, whether it's music or comedy or poetry or something else entirely, are welcome. That the place is tucked into a historic downtown building adds this great historic feel to an evening there at a corner table. It's definitely downtown's most eclectic coffee stop, and that it's just a short walk away from the <a href="http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/1832">Center of the Universe</a> is just an added bonus.

The coffee you'll find at Topeca is what they call seed-to-cup, which means that the roasting company controls your coffee beans from where they're grown until the time they're ground and pressed for your cup of joe. Topeca is a family-owned roasting company with more than 150 years of experience growing specialty coffee on the slopes of the Santa Ana volcano in El Salvador. It doesn't get more real than that, folks. The coffee and the staff at Topeca are held to the highest standards, so you're guaranteed a great pour at this local java spot. That <a href="http://www.topecacoffee.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16&Itemid=20">the crepes at Topeca are to die for</a> doesn't hurt their case any.
