Rick's Fine Chocolates & Coffees is a dual-focus retail operation that sells both freshly roasted coffee beans and house-made chocolates from a single location, positioning itself between a specialty coffee roaster and an artisanal confectionery rather than occupying either role completely. The business operates at a smaller scale than Oklahoma City's corporate coffee chains and serves customers who want both products without splitting their shopping trip.
The shop functions as a maker-retailer hybrid. The coffee side sources and roasts beans in-house; the chocolate side manufactures truffles, bars, and seasonal pieces on-site. This dual operation means customers can observe or smell active production, a direct signal of freshness that a wholesale-only model cannot match. The space operates as a retail storefront rather than a full café, so expect to buy products to take home rather than sit and consume on premises. The business positions itself as a step above convenience-store coffee and mass-produced grocery chocolates, but without the premium pricing or appointment-only model of ultra-luxury chocolate makers.
Coffee prices run between $12 and $18 per pound for whole beans, depending on roast level and origin; ground coffee carries the same pricing. Single-origin and seasonal roasts occupy the higher end. Chocolates are priced individually at roughly $1.50 to $3.00 per piece for truffles, with larger bars and seasonal assortments ranging from $8 to $20. These prices sit above mass-market chocolate but below chef-driven makers in other cities. The shop sells small quantities to walk-in customers and also takes bulk orders for gifts or corporate accounts; verify current pricing by phone or visit, as specialty coffee and chocolate input costs fluctuate seasonally.
Oklahoma City has multiple entry points for coffee: grocery chains like Whole Foods and local cafés such as The Red Cup offer bagged beans and brewed cups, but neither roasts on-site. Larger roasteries like Elemental Coffee or Rein Coffee focus primarily on the café experience and secondarily on retail beans, whereas Rick's inverts that relationship. For chocolate, Oklahoma City lacks dedicated artisanal makers of the size and visibility of Rick's; most local options are either mall-based box stores or one-person home operations with limited retail access. Choose Rick's if you want to buy freshly roasted coffee beans and handmade chocolates in one transaction and value seeing production happen on-site. Choose a café like The Red Cup if you need brewed coffee and a sit-down environment. Choose Whole Foods if convenience and variety across price points matter more than roasting freshness.
Rick's works well for gift-buyers seeking Oklahoma City-made chocolate and coffee combinations, for coffee enthusiasts willing to pay for freshness and single-origin options, and for anyone curious about small-batch chocolate production. It does not suit customers looking for a café experience, espresso drinks, or seating. It does not serve customers on a strict budget or those who need one-stop shopping that includes groceries or household items.
Walk in expecting a retail counter stocked with bagged coffee, individual chocolates in display cases, and boxed assortments. Staff can recommend coffee brewing methods and flavor profiles and answer questions about chocolate ingredients or origins. If the production area is visible, you may see equipment in use; some visits may coincide with inactive production depending on time of day and day of week. Transactions are straightforward cash or card purchases. Plan for 10 to 20 minutes unless you ask detailed questions about sourcing or need to custom-order a large gift box.
Verify hours before your visit, as specialty retail operations sometimes adjust seasonally or for production schedules. Street or lot parking is typical for Oklahoma City retail strips; ask about parking specifics when you confirm hours. The business is walk-accessible if located on a main commercial street, but not typically served by public transit in Oklahoma City. Call ahead if you need a bulk order or want to confirm availability of a specific origin or chocolate flavor.
Rick's occupies a niche that Oklahoma City's larger chains and café-focused roasters do not fill: it makes both products daily and sells them together, making it the logical choice for anyone seeking proof of freshness and local production in one visit.
