Crema's Take

Two Friends is that rare blend of indie bookstore and café where the carefully curated shelves and genuinely warm staff create an irresistible reason to linger over your coffee. The coffee itself is solid and traditional, but it's really the whole experience—cozy vibes, thoughtful book recommendations, quality pastries, and an unmistakable feeling of acceptance—that keeps people coming back to this Bentonville gem nestled in a neighborhood full of other local gems.

This bookstore is pure magic. The booksellers are warm, absurdly cool, and kind! They have a book selection is intentional and every inch of shelf space is thoughtfully curated. (The staff recs wall is my favorite!) add in a delicious treat and a great location and it becomes a space that is easy to stop in and hard to leave. It’s a safe, welcoming community hub, hosting numerous events and book clubs and author spotlights. Indie bookstores are special and this is the best one around ✨

Most amazing local bookstore I’ve ever been to with amazing owners. So cute and cozy. Next door to some amazing shops like Markham & Fitz, Yeyo’s, and Hillfolk, and across the yard from The Momentary.

Amazing food, staff, and atmosphere! Love the feel of acceptance this place puts off. Very chill. Found a new hang out space

I normally stop by here often and love it. This time I was waiting at the counter for my purchase which I reduced drastically as the worker was showing someone some books. Yes she saw me, but continued to talk about these books - and this is really good, and this is really good and if you like this author, etc. This went on for quite awhile. I almost left but just decided to buy less. The worker could have easily left the girl to look at the books herself, rang up my purchase and gotten back to talking to the girl about ALL these books. Not a very good experience.
