Locals Drive Thru
2626 E Citizens Dr, Fayetteville, AR
Crema's Take
“This Fayetteville drive-thru is all about quality espresso and genuine care, where baristas take time to ask the right questions even when cars are lined up behind you. They've built a loyal following with well-balanced lattes and cold brews, plus a thoughtful rotation of local pastries like Briar Rose cinnamon rolls that make the quick caffeine run feel a bit more special. It's the kind of place where the speed of service matches the quality of the coffee, proving that a drive-thru doesn't have to mean compromising on craft or warmth.”

Got an iced mocha and LOVED it! The espresso tastes perfect, and the syrup wasn’t too sweet for me. The girl taking my order was very kind, and very informative—asking all the right questions and even read back our order to double check. Definitely will be back!
Mrs. Flip Out had their cold brew with half and half and enjoyed it. She said it was a good pick me up for the drive. Service was very quick.
Best latte in town! Drive thru is fast, the girls are so nice and sweet, the coffee is amazing! They serve all local products, even little briar rose cinnamon rolls!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
A cute little drive-through cafe. The staff was nice, and helpful. It was fairly Packed with a long line of cars when I stopped by. Their menu and options are not huge, but interesting. I ordered a zebra mocha. It was decent. The kick from The caffeine was absent, more mellowed down with a good portion of milk. I took a slice of coffee cake as well. The served it warm but the cake was a bit sticky and not up to the mark.
It’s about time that East Fayetteville got a good coffee shop. It’s a drive-thru but it’s HANDS DOWN some of the beat coffee you can get. A few things you can expect when you come through.... 1. It’s 100% local - hence the name. Coffee is provided by Mountain Bird Coffee, a great local roaster near Eureka Springs. Syrups are crafted by Pink House Alchemy - local to Fayetteville. Unbelievably good syrup. The chocolate sauce for chocolate based drinks is by Kyya. Yet, another locally sourced ingredient. 2. The ownership is committed to leading and serving with integrity. My son is a barista and the men who lead this business are men that I want my son to learn from in a job. 3. I can promise whoever on these reviews hammered the customer service, it’s going to be just fine. The ownership has top notch management in the store and customer service will be priority. So, there’s my review. You won’t be disappointed. Well done, Locals.
