If you find yourself strolling along the vibrant streets of Tulsa and stumble upon a tiny bakery with a perpetual line snaking out the door, consider yourself fortunate. Country Bird Bakery, located at 1644 East 3rd Street, has become an undisputed local gem, captivating hearts and palates.

The next time you find yourself drawn to the alluring aroma wafting from a small bakery in Tulsa, follow the trail of locals—because at Country Bird Bakery, there's always a good reason for the line out the door.
In the snug quarters of Country Bird Bakery, the small space belies the abundance of delectable offerings; while a few seats are available, the majority of customers prefer to take away their mouthwatering treats.
Cox's unique approach revolves around sourcing regionally grown grain and flour, supporting local farmers from Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Texas. In doing so, the bakery not only fosters a robust local economy but also champions physical health and ecological sustainability.
Beyond bread, the menu features an eclectic mix of treats incorporating local vegetables, fruits, grains, herbs, and dairy into each creation.
