My Lunch Experience


This is a little abnormal for this blog but I just had the best lunch experience I think ever.
The restaurant is called"Spanky's Diner", yes after the little rascal of the same name, and I'm telling you the food and service were outstanding.

The portions were huge as were the smiles, my waitress/entertainment Denise was wonderful, so lively and attentive...did I mention funny, but then "that's just how she rolls", smile.

I had people coming over to the table with her telling jokes and April Fool pranks that had been pulled,one of the owners, Heather, came out to meet me, it was great. The atmosphere was warm, the dining area was clean and welcoming...oh by the way did I mention how good the food was...lol.

I took the liberty of sharing some pictures..I hope you enjoy them but you really have to experience this for your self. Next time you're in this area, stop by, you'll be glad you did.

Java Dave's Tulsa, OK






The origin of the "Java Dave's Coffee House" is an original American success story. For decades, the Neighbors family has been roasting award winning coffees from around the world.

Our gourmet coffee is produced from 100% Arabica beans selected from altitudes between 2,000 and 4,000 feet. Upon their arrival at our roastery in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the beans are hand roasted and flavored. Our specialized roasting and flavoring produces a final product ranging in color from a light American roast, to our darkest French Roast, and boasts award winning "Snickerdelicious" and "Frangelico Creme" among other sensational flavors.

With an exceptional line of products and an observable increase in demand for gourmet coffee, the Neighbors family knew it was time to expand their vision. In preparation, they developed a unique line of beverages ranging from mochas and lattes, to cappuccinos and cocoas.


In 1988, the first retail store in Tulsa, Oklahoma opened under the Neighbors Quality House Coffee name. Customers embraced the "Coffee House" concept, frequenting the establishment to sample Specialty Drinks, and to purchase gourmet coffee in bulk This warm reception along with undeniable success lead Earl, David, and Stan Neighbors to pursue the next level...franchising.

The rest of the Java Dave's story can be found on their website http://www.javadavescoffee.com/.
Store Mgr. Elena Alexander says "Our motto is"We bring coffee to life" and we do that by serving great coffee, in a lo-key, relaxed atmosphere, and having caring employees like Amy Holt, she greets you with a warm cup and a big smile every morning.

Costa Rica Shade Grown Organic :

Fill your senses with earthy pleasure! Café Britt’s Organic rich flavor hints of apple and laurel, its aroma of freshly tilled soil. This coffee lingers on the palate and stays on the mind. Café Britt has been cultivating and processing certified organic coffee since 1991.

Dark roasted, Café Britt Organic is harvested from plantations that use 100% organic materials to improve and fertilize the soil. In this way, soil quality is ensured, and ground water protected. The coffee bushes flourish under the shady embrace of native tree species, which increases the plantation’s biodiversity by attracting migrating birds and other animals.

This makes for long-term sustainability of the region’s agro-ecosystem.
