5 Favorite Local Coffee Shops Near Little Rock, AR

1. Fidel & Co.

Fidel & Co. has a full coffee menu as well as healthy breakfast and lunch food selections available. Our favorite is their ‘cafecito’ which is made from beans that they roast and brew in-house.

Fidel offers bulk items to-go as well so you can pick up an entire loaf of homemade sourdough or banana bread, a box of fresh pastries, or a 96 oz to-go carafe of their drip coffee. It’s the perfect option if you have family in town or need to supplement an early morning meeting at the office.

2. Guillermo’s Gourmet Coffee

This shop is owned by a father/son duo and who also roast their coffee beans on-site. With offerings like pour-over coffee, breve, and cortado, you are sure to find something to satisfy even the pickiest coffee drinkers in the group. For the more traditional ones, the classic cappuccino, latte, or drip coffee is an excellent choice as well.

3. Mylo Coffee Co.

Mylo’s started out as a stall in the farmer’s market but demand quickly necessitated that they create a storefront shop. Mylo’s continued its philosophy of locally sourced and sustainable ingredients at its store and works with local growers and producers in the area.

The laidback cafe has a breakfast and lunch menu crafted with ingredients from local farms. They also serve a selection of craft beers from Arkansas brewers. Please always drink responsibility if you plan to imbibe their delicious brews.

4. Nexus Coffee & Creative

Nexus defines itself as not just a coffee house, but a place to bring the local community together through art, music, and artisan events. The shop has coffee beans from Mexico, Brazil, Ethiopia, Burundi, and Honduras that are all ethically sourced and locally roasted.

We would recommend the Snickers Latte, which has flavors of hazelnut, caramel, and dark chocolate blended with espresso and served either hot or cold. For the tea lovers of the group, they offer organic black, green, herbal, white, oolong, and chai tea varieties.

5. River City Coffee

River City is the perfect place to relax and enjoy an afternoon. When you walk inside, you are greeted with a wall displaying the works of local artists, some of whom you can meet at the monthly receptions hosted by the coffee shop.

The baristas love to talk to customers about coffee and will even make their off-menu favorites for anyone willing to try something new. River City also sells their coffee beans by the bag if you find a new favorite or simply want to pick up the perfect gift for friends and family.
