211 Cafe — Restaurant in Bentonville

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 usually get sweet drinks, but their honey, cinnamon latte is on everyone’s list of favorites. All their syrup are made in house and are not too sweet. They’re the perfect blend of sweet and coffee. Also the iced, decaf, mocha with oat milk is like a oatmeal cookie. Oh yeah and they’re decaf doesn’t have any chemicals because they use the Swiss water technique to extract the caffeine. Every little thing it perfect.

NICEST COFFEE SHOP AWARD

They also are so flipping nice! I went in once 5 years ago and we were friends because all the sudden we had coffee in common and that’s all it takes. Ask anyone who goes there and they’ll tell you the same. Mauricio the owner is your friend and Katrina is secretly the best barista in town.

FOOD OPTIONS

Their food options are mostly made in house and although they sound plain - they all have an extra little detail that makes them something you can’t get anywhere else. The prices are great for a budget too.

They have large patio and fast WiFi for working or letting the kids play too.

-OK NOW GO TRY IT-

This is the best coffee shop around in every way. Every time I travel I compare places to 211 and rarely find one as good. It’s the new standard. Try it and you’ll know what I...

I’ll start off by saying I used to LOVE this place. I used to go every few days after it opened at the library. Today is going to be my last time making a visit. I went in to order a basic iced latte, received the latte in a warm beverage cup that did not fit the iced latte, leaking all over the cup. The drink itself was too sweet. I’ve ordered this drink plenty of times, and I know this isn’t how it’s made. When I communicated this to the new barista we received extremely rude service and she seemed to egotistical to acknowledge she might have made an error. I’ve come here many times, but this will be my last time after the customer service I received.

Very disappointing, I wish I could continue to love this place. If you’re in the area, theres tons of other coffee shops offering way better service in a small walkable...

I have LOVED this place since I first found them last April but, nothing has been the same since the move. They run out of ingredients, they have newer people who are neither friendly nor efficient. Today, I walked in and there were no customers at the counter. The guy was making a drink. He would not make eye contact or acknowledge my existence. It took him nearly 5 minutes to finish that one drink. He didn't know how to make a Little Italy even though the owner showed him the last time I was there. It took forever and it was gross. My normally sweet drink was bitter and sour. They always have chocolate chip scones which I ordered as usual. He didn't bother to tell me it wasn't chocolate chip. Imagine the shock to my taste buds when it was unexpected some kind of berry.

Horribly...
