Midnight Oil Coffeehouse

The Central Perk of Central Ark. … A gem in a town full of chains. Be prepared for perhaps the best beverage you've ever had. They take their coffee seriously here, and it shows. The décor/vibe is hip, yet very comfortable and inviting. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Everything they do/make is excellent and beautiful. I'm not sure how they do it. And, I'm not sure how any other coffee place survives in this market with this place around. I recommend without any reservation.

Amazing atmosphere with good smells and Coffee Shop music, excellent locally roasted coffees and friendly faces. You can get a small cup of drip coffee for a dollar 40 if you are on a budget and the lattes are cheaper than most other coffee shops. This is a Redemptive business that benefits The growers of the coffee beans in other countries. They have a lovely deck and outdoor seating area under the shade trees and they have just put in a new stage so that they can feature more local music and entertainment opportunities.

One of the iconic features of Searcy, Arkansas is this small but cozy coffee shop next to Harding University's campus. It has a slightly hipster atmosphere with good music and even better coffee. Very popular with the college community as a place to study and hang out with friends. There is not a bad coffee or tea option on the menu and the food and dessert served here is good too. Outdoor seating is nice for a fall afternoon. Highly recommended.

This is one of the quintessential stops in Searcy. The decor and style inside are so cozy, perfect for studying or a date or a fun time out with friends. The food is really good, we tried The Untitled sandwich with roasted chicken and avocado on the multigrain bread. It was really delicious! The kids tried the peanut butter and jelly...I even stole a few bites when they weren't looking. My husband tried The Cuban sandwich, with ham and cheese. It was all fabulous, no complaints. The staff is very friendly, the bathrooms are clean, the outside seating area is relaxing as well. We loaded up on several bags of fresh coffee for only $10 a piece, which was totally worth it. Definitely recommend!

It's great as long as you can wait longer than 15-20 minutes to get a sandwich. The sandwiches taste very fresh and good but this is not a recommended place for a quick lunch. I have yet to be able to go in, order and be out within an hour.

BUT, it's a fun atmosphere and Great place to hang out!

Amazing experience! I was on one of my routine trips to Midnight Oil Coffeeshop as a student at Harding University. I was glum, I was downtrodden, I was defeated by a hectic week of school. An impossible task seemed to be upon me, a mountain of coursework to dig out of. To make things worse, my computer was dead, and so too it seemed my soul. But that is when Anna Grace Langdon came to the rescue! Her calm demeanor and exceptional service brought so much joy back into my day and lifted my spirits to the heights of the heavens. Literally life-changing. After my experience with Anna I received a perfect brew and went back to my chair. My computer was working, my coursework didn't seem so hard anymore, life just seemed better. Midnight Oil, AND THEIR EMPLOYEES, work miracles.

Love that you can buy whole bean coffee from different roasters. They rotate out which is nice if you like to try different coffees without having to pay shipping costs online! I do wish they had more dessert offerings in the case!

Good house lattes and Arkansas blends. They also serve these little cheese biscuits with ham that are worth trying. EXTREMELY busy while school is in session, so not a great place to unwind if you like being alone in a coffee shop, but it's nice and quiet during the summer.

There aren't enough good things to say about this coffee shop. As a Searcy native, I frequented this place all through high school and afterward to study, hang out and meet friends. The vibe is cozy and welcoming and the quality of the coffee is unmatched. My favorite drink is the Iced Fred or Mr Blonde. I live in Chicago now and I miss this place so much! It's a real gem!

The folks are always friendly and pleasant. The coffee is great and well-sourced. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. I've had many casual meetings and planning sessions here and they are always accommodating.
