Spark Café Soda Fountain
105 N Main St, Bentonville, AR
Crema's Take
“Spark Café Soda Fountain is a nostalgic throwback where vintage charm meets budget-friendly indulgence, serving scoops of quality ice cream and creative flavors at prices that feel almost too good to be true. The outdoor seating on Bentonville's sunny days, thoughtful staff who work around dietary restrictions, and rotating specialty flavors like orange sherbet and lactose-free options create the kind of place where families linger and locals keep coming back. Fair warning: that line out the door moves slower than the ice cream melts, so plan accordingly or visit during off-peak hours to fully savor the experience.”

Grandkids loved enjoying their ice cream outside in Bentonville's summer-like temperatures in late Feb. Delicious ice cream at very inexpensive prices!!
Great value with some exclusive flavors but if you see the line out the door go somewhere else as not worth the wait especially when they run out of flavors and you don’t find out until you get to the counter with unfriendly employees even being overstaffed still super slow. The old design before the remodel was more fun with quicker and friendlier service.
Where else around here can you order really good ice cream at such good prices? You don't want to miss stopping by when you are at the Walton Museum and Bentonville Square especially on a hot day.
I have dietary restrictions and the guys working there were so helpful. Prices were reasonable and the ice cream was good. Service was fast and they had place to sit inside and outside. Great places to take your family. My only things was that the spoons were really flimsy and kept bending which made it a little difficult to make bites of the ice cream which of course wasn’t soft.
For six dollars we purchased a mini cup of each flavor and did a taste test. The lactose free was actually very good for an almond milk-based ice cream, if that's your thing. The orange sherbet was also very good if you're a sherbet person, but a large cone might get too sweet. The F150 tastes like a disappointing red velvet cheesecake. The cookies and cream was ok independently, but there were better flavors. Also not the best cookies and cream I've ever tasted. The salted caramel was much too sweet! I'm not a fan of mint chocolate chip, but for mint people I think you would like this. The vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry flavors were exactly what you would expect and very good. I preferred the spark ice cream, which has a vanilla undertone to the actual vanilla ice cream. I felt the vanilla ice cream flavor was strong, but My Husband preferred it to the Spark flavor. The butter pecan was VERY good with lots of nuts, but might get old in a large scoop form. The surprise of the day was the chocolate brownie. It tastes like a Dairy Queen hot fudge sundae and was by far my favorite of the day.
