Airship Coffee Roasters, Bentonville, Arkansas
Nicknamed the "mountain biking capital of the world," Bentonville is home to the Coler Mountain Bike Preserve, which boasts an integrated trail system that welcomes riders of all levels. For everyone, though, the popular mid-trail stop is Airship Coffee Roasters.
Built with only three walls, the scents of seasonal drinks, craft brews, and quick bites waft out toward the trail, inviting riders and hikers to kick back on one of the triple-person swings or relax on the rooftop terrace. Airship is independently and locally owned and it’s quite clear that the choices to set up shop without Wi-fi—but wide open to dogs—were intentional, intended to protect a nature-driven atmosphere that communicates peaceful retreat into nature. A book would be a delightful companion for the one who wants to settle in here.
