Sweets & Spurs in Oklahoma City: Western-Themed Bakery with Savory Pies and Pastries
Sweets & Spurs is a small-batch bakery and café in Oklahoma City that splits its focus between traditional sweet pastries and hand-filled savory meat pies, operating with a Western interior design that reflects the building's historical cowboy-era origins. The shop makes its own laminated doughs and fillings daily, positioning it between a conventional neighborhood bakery and a British-style pie shop, a combination rarely found in Oklahoma City's bakery landscape.
What Sweets & Spurs actually is
The bakery occupies a compact storefront and operates as both a walk-in café and a pastry counter. Orders are placed at the counter; seating is limited to a handful of small tables suited for eating pastries or pies on-site, though most customers take their purchases to go. The Western aesthetic is deliberate and grounded in the building's history rather than applied as decoration, which gives the space an anchored, unpretentious feel compared to theme-heavy cafés elsewhere in the city.
Menu and pricing
The pastry case rotates between croissants, pain au chocolat, Danish varieties, and cream-filled choux pastries, all priced between $3.50 and $5.50. Savory hand pies, the bakery's distinguishing feature, include beef and cheddar, chicken and herb, and seasonal fillings like mushroom and goat cheese, each priced between $6 and $8. A half-dozen assorted pastries costs $18 to $22 depending on selection. Coffee and tea run $2.75 to $4.50. Prices should be confirmed directly, as ingredient costs affect meat pie pricing seasonally.
The laminated dough used in both sweet and savory items is prepared in-house; this approach means smaller daily batches but also that items sell out by mid-afternoon on busy days. Customers wanting specific flavors or bulk orders are encouraged to call ahead.
How Sweets & Spurs compares to other Oklahoma City bakeries
Most independent bakeries in Oklahoma City focus on decorated cakes, cupcakes, or bread; Sweets & Spurs' emphasis on laminated pastries and savory pies narrows the direct comparison. Cattlemen's Steakhouse Bakery, located downtown, offers traditional breads and sweet pastries but does not stock meat pies. Nothing Bundt Cakes specializes in bundts and small cakes rather than scratch-made laminated doughs. Sweets & Spurs appeals to customers seeking French-style pastry technique applied to both sweet and savory formats, whereas other local bakeries compete on customization (decorated cakes) or speed (chain-style donuts and coffee).
The savory pie offering is the true differentiator. Oklahoma City has no established British pie shop or French pâtisserie that combines both categories under one roof. Those wanting a beef and cheddar hand pie must choose between Sweets & Spurs or ordering from a general café or restaurant, neither of which offers the laminated pastry shell found here.
Who it suits and who it does not suit
Sweets & Spurs works well for early risers (pastries are best consumed within hours of baking), people with 15 to 30 minutes for a quick breakfast or lunch, and those interested in savory pastries as a lunch alternative to sandwiches. The limited seating makes it a poor fit for long work sessions or group meetings. Customers seeking decorated custom cakes, bulk orders for events, or a wide range of bread varieties should look elsewhere. Those avoiding butter or gluten will find few suitable options, as the bakery's core product is laminated dough.
What the first visit involves
Enter and survey the pastry case, which displays the day's offerings with handwritten labels noting ingredients and fillings. Staff will guide you through the options and recommend pairings (for example, a savory pie plus a pastry, or a croissant and coffee). Expect a wait of 5 to 10 minutes during the 7 to 9 a.m. window on weekdays. Payment is cash or card. Take-out bags are provided; eat-in customers can request plates and napkins. First-timers are best served by trying one of the signature meat pies and one sweet pastry to understand the range.
Hours, parking, and logistics
Sweets & Spurs opens at 7 a.m. and closes at 3 p.m. weekdays, with reduced Saturday hours and closure on Sundays. Street parking is available on the block, though availability varies by time of day. Confirm current hours before visiting, as small bakeries occasionally adjust seasonally or due to supply constraints.
Sweets & Spurs occupies a niche that few Oklahoma City bakeries attempt: it executes both laminated pastry and savory pie production in a neighborhood setting, making it worth a visit for anyone curious about why these formats remain popular in France and the UK but have not taken root locally until now.
