The Spark Café
101 N Main St, Bentonville, AR
Crema's Take
“Tucked near the Walmart Museum in Bentonville, The Spark Café feels like a genuine community gathering spot where friendly staff and a true diner atmosphere make everyone feel at home. Beyond their creative ice cream flavors and pastries, this place strikes that rare balance of being welcoming for families, couples on dates, or anyone needing a comfortable place to linger over coffee and conversation without pretension or steep prices.”

The best way to do a tour of ice cream parlors? On a bicycle! FIVE STARS for the friendliest staff at the Spark Cafe! It appears that the Sea Salt Caramel flavor was enhanced. What a nice change!
I loved this place! It is the last stop of the Walmart museum but you can also enter from the street. They have many ice cream flavors, my top ones were F-150 (red velvet) and salted caramel. You can choose from different cone and cup size and they have a tiny cone for kids, that’s cute! The prices were a surprise for me, I paid $1.30 for the single. The place has a great atmosphere, a vintage dinner.
This is a fun stop if you’re looking for an incredible ice cream value. In my experience, two people can eat here for the price of one, in comparison to other ice cream parlors. I know that it reopened after renovations not too terribly long ago; I wish that I could have seen it when it favored a soda fountain, honestly. I do appreciate that they don’t have a lot of menu offerings, as that keeps the line moving. If there’s no room inside and the weather is favorable, the square makes a picturesque dining venue.
We have lived in the area for almost a year and finally went to check this iconic cafe out. It has a true diner feel inside and the women working were all very friendly despite being so busy. We had the F-150 (red velvet cake), salted caramel and mint chip. All were wonderful. The ice cream is fresh. Prices are purposely inexpensive, we spent under $5 for all of us. This is a must stop in Bentonville while checking out downtown and the museum.
Stopped by The Spark food truck for some ice cream after dinner on Saturday night. I was bummed that the cafe was undergoing renovation but was happy that we were still able to get a scoop. The price of ice cream here vs other places in town is honestly astounding. The gentleman helping us said that they keep the prices down because they want everyone to be able to bring the whole family. Flavor and quality were both great as was the service, and it was nice being able to enjoy our ice cream in the square. I personally really love that they offer a cutie cup/cone because I generally want just a little bite of ice cream and this really hit the spot!
