211 Cafe

Convenient spot to grab a cup of coffee and relax or wander through the library. The cafe is bright and there is plenty of seating with tables or comfy chairs. They have snack options and pastries as well as sodas and juices. Love that they serve Guatemalan coffee. The barista was sweet and fast. The cold brew is strong and smooth. My cafe au lait with almond milk was the best price in NWA and delicious.

YOU FOUND THE BEST At first I liked Starbucks and was relatively happy with all the coffee places in town, but after going here a few times, nothing else compares. It’s not even close. I’ve been going here almost every day for years and when they’re closed we go home and make coffee with their awesome Guatemalan beans. HERE’S WHY I think I’ve figured out why it’s so much better. I can speak to the heart and the taste. They roast differently - they only use a medium roast and I know that every other shop mostly serves a dark roast and I don’t know why you would, because you lose the coffee taste, the caffeine and have to replace it with sugar to taste decent. THE TASTE & WHAT TO TRY The coffee is so pure tasting and never bitter! Not even the espresso. I love the breve and don’t usual

This place is amazing! I can’t believe I’ve never heard of it before! The atmosphere is very soothing and nice (both inside and outside). I tried their cappuccino with lavender flavor. It definitely is better than with vanilla, but I think I will stick to plain old cappuccino 😅.

Love the new location thou the cool quirkiness of the old one is gone. This clean modern space still has a cool vibe and the coffee is still good, maybe better. The owner is passionate about his Guatemalan medium roast he has roasted locally by Mountain Bird. It’s a good quality coffee and works well for a cup done in a Chemex or one of their specialty drinks. I also appreciate the fact that they participate in local farmers markets, nice to see them in Bella Vista!

Excellent coffee, remarkable service, delish scones. This is a great little coffee shop, fresh ground, comfy seating, and they feature items from local artist for purchase.
