Located just off the campus of Harding University lies Midnight Oil, a top-notch business and most likely the best coffee shop within a 100-mile radius. The location offers cozy seating, consisting of couches, booths, barstools, chairs, and an outdoor deck. The extensive menu provides a variety of beverages and eats for great value, and the staff is always incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Midnight Oil is always busy, and for good reason: its the number one hangout spot for Harding students looking to study or just to meet up. The coffee itself is great, and baristas are masters at their respective art. 10/10, would recommend--a Searcy must-visit.

I have been a regular Midnight Oil customer for years. If I still lived in the Searcy area I would go to "MO" two to three times a week. Anyone who is lucky enough to make the cut for a MO employee knows customers by name and are always courteous, attentive to detail, and timely. In 2013 Midnight Oil had a happy hour that ran from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. I happened to work a night shift that started at 6 p.m. and ran untill 6 a.m. I would get two grande drinks right before work for about $6 and needless to say; my night shifts were always fun :)

Hands down the best coffee in the area. Great environment for hanging out with friends, enjoying a nice book, or getting some studying done. Can often be a bit loud due to its popularity and small size. Usually not overwhelming, but fosters a lively atmosphere. MO is located right on the edge of the Harding University campus, so expect lots of college students during the school year. Youll find many locals stopping by in the mornings and for lunch, especially.

One of the iconic features of Searcy, Arkansas is this small but cozy coffee shop next to Harding Universitys campus. It has a slightly hipster atmosphere with good music and even better coffee. Very popular with the college community as a place to study and hang out with friends. There is not a bad coffee or tea option on the menu and the food and dessert served here is good too. Outdoor seating is nice for a fall afternoon. Highly recommended.

Great coffee shop right next to Harding University. The espresso drinks are excellent and they offer several methods of coffee preparation. Ive had a few food items that were excellent as well. The staff is friendly. Plenty of parking. Pretty crowded inside because of popularity. Has indoor and outdoor seating. There is a small private meeting room with a conference table.

A bit loud at times, but excellent service. Amazing coffee, great value during happy hours. Cause they be so happy like yay. Ooh, and pretty baristas. Sometimes. So take your girl there, and get her a latte. Girls love lattes. Hmm. Words of wisdom. They have wonderful chocolate covered coffee beans. Its pretty much the hang in searcy. Be there, ill be there.

Its great as long as you can wait longer than 15-20 minutes to get a sandwich. The sandwiches taste very fresh and good but this is not a recommended place for a quick lunch. I have yet to be able to go in, order and be out within an hour. BUT, its a fun atmosphere and Great place to hang out!

This was place was okay. My drink had to much syrup in it which made it to sweet and lost all taste of coffee. But I like that it is local, so they have that going for them. This was only my first experience though, so I will update this upon my next visit.

Ive been going to MO for two years and I love their coffee.I got a cozy chicken sandwich last week though, and it had a spot of mold.I picked it off like it was NBD but I paid almost 7$ for a moldy sandwich.Guess I should just stick to coffee.

Very cosy, little coffee shop. Kinda noisy inside due to the lack of space, but the back porch is a nice place to sit and visit. There is also a small conference room that can be reserved.

Midnight Oil is a staple of the Harding University experience. Theres nothing else like it in town for atmosphere, convenience, and good, solid coffee.

Best local coffeeshop around. Cozy atmosphere and friendly baristas with great drinks. Their lunch fare is a little known local treat.

Ask about reserving their meeting room. I had a lot of meetings with a non profit team I was part of during my college years.

Great place! Atmosphere, selections, & staff, are all superb. This is what a coffeehouse should be.

Quaint and quirky. Everything you’d want in a coffee shop, though often a little too busy for my tastes.
