Nestled at 813 E. 6th Street in the heart of Okmulgee, Oklahoma, Midge & Millie’s Booksellers & Coffee has quickly become a beloved cornerstone of the local community since its founding in 2021. With the charm of a small-town bookstore and the aroma of handcrafted coffee wafting through its cozy corners, this family-owned establishment is redefining what it means to gather, connect, and inspire.

Founded by the dynamic mother-daughter trio—Sarah, Maggie, and Madelyn Amador—Midge & Millie’s isn’t just a business. It’s a vision brought to life: a place where stories unfold not only on pages but through heartfelt conversations over steaming mugs and shared smiles. Named after their spirited canine companions, Midge the Merle Corgi and Millie the Basset Hound, the shop radiates a personality all its own—whimsical, warm, and welcoming.

At its core, Midge & Millie’s is a used bookstore and coffee shop, but to call it simply that would be selling it short. Their mission goes beyond retail: “We create a welcoming space where community, creativity, and connection thrive,” the Amadors explain. The shelves boast a unique collection of carefully curated used books, while the menu offers expertly crafted coffee drinks and delicious brunch items. A selection of gifts and collectibles rounds out the experience, making it a haven for book lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike.

What truly sets Midge & Millie’s apart is its heart for community. The shop hosts free, fun events such as author readings, book clubs, and open mic nights—turning their little corner of Okmulgee into a hub for cultural exchange and creative expression. Their commitment to cultivating a sense of belonging has made them a go-to gathering spot for locals of all ages.

Since opening their doors, Midge & Millie’s has not only weathered the challenges of launching a small business during a time of uncertainty, but they’ve also stood their ground in the face of big-brand competition, including a local Starbucks. Their success is a testament to the power of authenticity, personal touch, and community-centered values.

Looking ahead, the team has exciting goals for expansion and continuing their mission of fostering connection through literature and local flavor. Whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor, stepping into Midge & Millie’s feels like coming home—where stories are savored one sip at a time.
