Sometimes you just need to find a good place to rewind, refresh and re-energize.
Here’s our take on 13 of the best coffee shops in Northwest Arkansas:
Iron Horse Coffee Company, Rogers
Set in a quaint building in the downtown area, the cafeteria is in business since 1998 and recently has been through a renaissance. A cool, relaxed atmosphere and they give you generous portions of sandwiches. Also, their original house brew coffee is an elixir for a cafephile!

Java Dudes Coffee Company, Rogers
If you want a great rustic experience while enjoying expertly crafted food, this one is a must-visit! This one, too, has a history associated with it, and people claim they have one of the best cinnamon buns served in the whole NWA. Make sure to try their heavenly quiche, with the fulfilling amalgam of tomato, cheddar, and sausage inside the tempting puff pastry exterior. Their chai tea is as amazing as the specialty coffees.

Grumpy’s Peace, Love, and Coffee, Gravette
This one is just rightly named…if you go in grumpy, you come out calm, and you love the place enough to visit it more than you originally planned. If you meet the owner, aka Larry Jones (Grumpy), he is a really sweet person to know. Their ambiance gives you the 60’s feel, and all the delicacies they offer – coffee, bagels, or cinnamon rolls are pretty awesome!
