Nexus Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Little Rock

My family and I went to Little Rock this weekend and this was our first stop. We headed there after walking Junction Bridge and enjoying the cool breeze at the river. We were wanting to get a bite to eat and spotted this Cafe. The atmosphere when entering was absolutely amazing, staff was extremely friendly and patient helping out us as first timers to the shop. We ended up getting quite a few things to try out.

The Egg Cups were simple but yet packed so much flavor and the bacon was cooked to perfection! The Breakfast Squares (forgot what they were called, it’s been a long weekend😅) was to die for, fluffy eggs perfectly paired with sausage and soft breading that melted in your mouth. Key Lime Cheesecake cups, were creamy and tart- the extra crumble on the outside just added a little more crunch that you don’t get in a normal Cheesecake. The cinnamon roll was light, fluffy and the homemade cream cheese spread was sooo good. Perfect balance of sweetness, I usually have an issue due to sensitive teeth, but it wasn’t overly sweet and I could easily eat it. Honestly, the best Cinnamon Roll I’ve ever had in my life!

Because the food was so good, I had to try the Coffee! We got the Raspberry Lemonade (seasonal) Nitro-Cold Brew, who knew coffee could be so fruity!! The second thing I tried was the Honey Lavender Iced Latte, best coffee EVER!

They had local live music as well which really rounded out the vibe! Overall this was the best experience, food, atmosphere and coffee I’ve ever had in my life! I’ve honestly been thinking about that Honey Lavender Iced Latte ever since I ran out.

The only thing I’d have to complain about is that they didn’t open up early enough this morning for me to get one for the road before we headed back home, but that is just a minor inconvenience and only effects me and probably no one else 😅. This is a FANTASTIC place to visit and I will definitely be back as soon as I can plan another trip, my whole family loved this place, in fact my 10 year old son didn’t even want to leave after entering.

I would recommend this place to EVERYONE visiting or living in Little Rock, it is a must stop and I would give this a...

📢 NOTE : I'm editing this stars on this review because the company responded to my initial review. I appreciate the response, and it gives an opportunity for growth. I'm changing my score from a 3 star (based on my initial experience) and giving a 4 because the response was kind, and that's a start.

However, I stand by my initial experience.

I ordered the mocha. It was ok. But here's the thing. This is one of the most unwelcoming places I've ever walked in. No greeting, no one said, "may I take your order," not even a "thanks." I got a cold and heartless "uh huh" and "yep" when placing my order.

Now, my husband and I are standing next to each other, but far enough apart that there was a little gap. Do you know the older guy (probably the owner) wedged himself in between us without even saying excuse me and stood near the opening of the counter and the kitchen, drinking his coffee and ice grilling TF out of us.

Color me naive, but gurrllll, I thought the south was known for hospitality. These were the most unwelcoming and cold people I've ever encountered in the south, and I have stepped into some Shady parts of this country.

I know micro aggression when I see it. Especially when the next person walked in, they were all smiles and grins, and "Hey, how are ya?"

I’ve been to Nexus three times now, so this isn’t a one-off review.

I want to like it. Coffee is my passion and I will always prefer to support local than a large chain.

However, my trip yesterday will be my last. I have never received such indifferent treatment at a shop like I did yesterday.

After waiting in a long line and watching the older man at the register talk and carry on with the customers ahead of me (including the one holding Starbucks in another coffee shop), it was finally my turn. I walked up to the register and he walked away and mumbled “I’ll be with you in a minute.” Oh. Okay. He went to drink water, which I understand. Then he sat down. The woman I had seen helping people literally walked past me without even a glance.

A couple minutes go by and he walks over and is just monotone and cold. I got really anxious and ordered as fast as I could. He turned the POS toward me to ask for a tip and walked away again. No “thank you” or any type of conversation.

A couple other things I noticed: to the barista who stared me down the entire time in line, maybe don’t. And to the woman working, the place for your personal Stanley cup isn’t right next to the Nitro taps. That’s disgusting.

So, poor service and unclean practices. The drink was barely worth the money. I’m...
