The Bakery District

Our first extended stay in Fort Smith was great! Highlight had to be this incredible coffee shop. Incredible atmosphere and great coffee.

I just happened to be in town and was attracted to the building. I was thoroughly impressed. It’s a fantastic renovation of an existing building that housed the Shipley bakery. I relaxed while sipping the fantastic coffee that some locals recommended. A panini sandwich was also perfect. The atmosphere is something you have to experience. You feel like you’re right there in the Shipleys bakery with all the memorabilia and machines around you. The seating area is perfectly done. Love the high ceilings and industrial look.

The coffee and food here is delicious and the environment is great! Also the new Fort Kids children's museum next door is super cool! It's free, and a lot of fun, it was super clean and had lots of options for kids of all ages!

Lots of food trucks here, when I arrived all of them were closed except one... Lily's sandwiches. As I wasn't sure what I wanted to eat anyway, this worked in my favor. The sandwich was the best sandwich I think I've ever had! It was a homemade pesto, shaved fresh turkey, and sauteed tomatoes on sourdough. The ingredients spoke for themselves and the preparation was spot on. The gentleman working the food truck, (I believe was the owner) was incredibly friendly and since it was slow, delivered my food to me at the Mad Ox brewery across the way. Eat here as soon as you can! You won't be disappointed. On that note, the Mad Ox was a very cool place to grab a beer, near atmosphere, friendly bartenders, good beer. Will definitely be back!

We love the coffee and the atmosphere. There are swings and couches and tables in what looks like a well decorated barn on the inside. But the outside is colorful. The entire building is a site to see! If you have a home office and need to get out of it, they have office spaces that you can rent for a day or whatever. There is a fully equipped conference room as well. We love it here and we do all our pictures here
