THE CURATED LIST OF THE BEST PLACES TO GO & THINGS TO DO IN BROKEN BOW

Oct 2

Despite being a small town, Broken Bow has so much to offer for both nature lovers and those who prefer a more “elevated” wilderness experience. Here you will find a curated list by The Denizen – a boutique, luxury one bedroom tucked into the pines of Broken Bow.

HOCHACUP – BEST CUP OF COFFEE

In my opinion, Hochacup has by far the best coffee in Hochatown and Broken Bow. You may find yourself here every morning, the coffee is that good.

Hochacup has a wide variety of coffee drinks – latte, americano, frappuccino, cappuccino… with dairy and non-dairy milk options. And the best part, is the variety of housemade syrups.

If you are visiting in fall/winter, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is an absolute must. The housemade syrup is made with REAL pumpkin, not just pure sugar. Delicious.

Note: The location can be a bit hard to find. It's located behind the E-Z Mart in an open, dirt space with other vendors. It's 100% worth finding!

LOCAL 259 – BEST SPECIALTY GROCERIES

There is really only one main grocery store in Broken Bow – Pruett’s. While they might have everything you need, the grocery store is pretty lackluster if you’re used to shopping at Whole Foods.

If you are looking for higher quality, specialty groceries, you absolutely must make a stop at The Market at Local 259. You will find local produce, wine, high quality cheeses, s’mores ingredients, and a wide variety of gluten free, dairy free, and grain free options.

They also have a really cute outdoor space where you can relax, grab a coffee or bite to eat, play a round of cornhole, or let the kids run around and play.

AMY’S MACARONS – BEST SWEETS TO INDULGE IN

One of the cutest, tastiest treasures in Broken Bow, Amy's Macarons & Bakery shouldn't be missed. It’s like a little corner of Paris, France in the middle of a small country town in the USA.

All of the flavors are delish, the texture is perfect, and the macarons looks so beautiful.

Some of my personal favs include Wedding Cake and S'mores.

THE EAT OUT – BEST RESTAURANT IN BROKEN BOW

With unique (yet totally delicious) flavor combinations, The Eat Out is at the top of my list for "best restaurants in Broken Bow". They have lots of options to choose from – even some GF!

If you’re in Broken Bow for the weekend, make sure not to miss their brunch menu served from 10am - 2pm. They have incredible Mexican inspired breakfast dishes like Chilaquiles (a great option for those GF!), Chorizo Tacos, and Dos Huevos.

FRIENDS LOOP TRAILHEAD – BEST MODERATE HIKE

Gorgeous waterfalls and marvelous river views, Friends Trail Loop is a 1.5 mile loop trail that takes about 45min to complete. This trail is a perfect hike to fully appreciate the beauty of Beavers Bend.

If you enjoy running, I would highly suggest parking here, and running toward Cedar Bluff Creek Trail. You will run past a few beautiful lakes and have a 360 view of the trees.

BEAVERS BEND STATE PARK – BEST PLACE FOR NATURE

An absolute must visit to appreciate the beautiful setting of Broken Bow, and less than a 10min drive from The Denizen. Make sure to get a parking past online before going to the park (in case you lose cell service).

There are tons of trails for hiking, rivers/lakes for fishing, etc.
