Pure disclaimer: I hate writing reviews but I can honestly say I had to for this place. Ark Coffee in Van Buren is hands down the best coffee I’ve found in Arkansas since moving here last year. I actually buy their bags of espresso to use at home because driving there every day just isn’t realistic for me but anytime I’m headed that way, I make it a point to treat myself to an iced white mocha. If I have the time, I prefer to walk in instead of using the drive-thru because I genuinely love the atmosphere. The way the shop is set up, the energy inside — it just feels good to be there. I’m not a patient person at all, but this is one of the few places where I don’t mind waiting. I actually prefer when they take their time making it. It gives me a chance to slow down, enjoy the ambiance, and decompress a little before going back to “adulting.” Also, I’m not sure if he’s the owner or manager, but the guy who’s often working there is incredibly welcoming and customer-oriented. The entire staff is friendly, but he especially makes it a point to check in and socialize with customers. It makes getting coffee feel like more of an experience rather than just a transaction and I really value that. Highly recommend if you care about both quality coffee and the overall vibe of a place.
We traveled all the way from Fayetteville and were not disappointed!! I had an iced Raspberry Mocha and my husband had a hot Vanilla Maple Latte. Both drinks were absolutely delicious and everyone who works here is very nice! We will definitely come back next time we are in town!!
First time here and overall a great experience. Drink was made well and service was great. Cashier asked me if I’ve ever visited and when I told him no he went on to explain the menu. They have a separate room thats cozy and well put. No loud music playing which is a plus. Great place to hang out and get some work done. I’ll definitely be back.
definitely my favorite coffee shop to go to! drive thru is always quick and the staff are always super sweet. inside is also very cozy, definitely has a good atmosphere! great coffee, ark coffee is my daily pick me up :)
Beautiful little coffee shop! The workers were attentive and when I mentioned I had never been there, they offered to help me find something I liked. I got “The Canadian” and it’s delicious. I will be back!
