POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

After loss, Lori and Robert Black found love — and with it, a renewed purpose to help Edmond connect. Together they’ve built three welcoming spaces for the community to gather: Evoke Coffee (@cafeevoke ) for your morning pick-me-up, Twisted Tree Bakery (@twistedtreebakingcompany ) for European-style breads and pastries, and now Bluebird Books — a bright, cozy home for stories, friendship and everyday magic. ✨

At Bluebird Books you can sip coffee, browse hand-picked reads, bring your kids to play, meet a friend, or simply linger in a space designed to transport you. It’s the newest chapter in the couple’s “holy trinity” of local gems and a love letter to Edmond’s growing downtown.

Our owners Robert Black and Lori Dickinson-Black were honored to be a part of the City of Edmond’s new video celebrating the history, character, and community spirit of Downtown Edmond.

For generations, residents have gathered along its historic streets to shop, enjoy local entertainment, dine at longtime establishments, and create memories that continue to shape the city’s identity.

From restaurants and shops to public art and historic buildings, Downtown Edmond offers more than a place to do business. It is a place to pause, gather, and belong. The new video celebrates the area’s history while looking toward its continued evolution.

Through stories of longtime businesses, community leaders, and cherished local destinations, the video shows how Downtown Edmond’s past continues to influence its future. Visit @cityofedmondok to see the full video. taken in Evoke by @cafeevoke

We know we can’t keep everyone forever. But we sure wish we could with Anna Beth.

AB has been with us almost as long as we’ve owned Evoke. When she applied right out of high school it was her goal to work at Evoke.

She worked full-time and went to school full-time. Somehow, whenever we needed help, AB said yes. She ALWAYS brings the comic relief and creativity, and her hospitality skills are second to none. If we were away, we knew Evoke was in her very capable hands.

In the early years, she was affectionately called “Little Lori,” but over time she managed to capture the best parts of both of our management styles, and add plenty of her own, to help us shape Evoke into what it is today in Downtown Edmond.

She became so much more than an employee. Last year, we had the honor of hosting her wedding reception at Evoke and being part of such a meaningful moment in her life.

This Saturday will be AB’s last day managing Evoke as she gets ready to begin the final year of her graduate studies in pottery and spread her artistic and entrepreneurial wings. We wanted to share the news so our customers, many of whom have known her for years, have the chance to stop in and wish her well.

And because it says everything about who she is: she gave us a YEAR’S notice. Who cares enough to do that anymore?

And somehow, we’re still not ready.

But we couldn’t be more thrilled for her and this next season. We know Evoke will always be part of her story, just as she’ll always be part of ours, even if now we get to see a little more of each other from the other side of the bar.

AB, “THANK YOU” doesn’t begin to capture how we feel. But we hope this post comes close.

We’re proud of you and we can’t wait to see what you create next!

We’re proud to partner with @edmondmobilemeals through our family of businesses in May to support homebound seniors and disabled neighbors in our community.

In 2025 alone, EDMOND MOBILE MEALS served 94,370 meals through home deliveries and at the Edmond Senior Center, providing not just food, but care, connection, and dignity.

With ongoing challenges like government shutdowns and reductions in food benefits, the need is real and growing.

Food is our love language, and giving back is at the heart of what we do.

Here’s how you can join us:

⭐️Visit Evoke, Twisted Tree Baking Company, Bluebird Books, and La Loba Cantina + Grill on Tuesdays in May and we’ll donate 10% of sales

⭐️ Donate directly online (link in bio)

⭐ Scan the QR codes in-store to give instantly and directly to Edmond Mobile Meals

⭐ Consider volunteering your time!

We’re excited to share the impact and celebrate together at the end of the month —but we hope you’ll consider supporting this mission year-round.

Let’s make sure no one in Edmond goes hungry! taken in Evoke by @cafeevoke
