ONYX Coffee Lab

 

Founded in Northwest Arkansas, Onyx Coffee Lab, recently ranked the #2 best coffee shop in the world and #1 in North America by Best Coffee Shops Worldwide.

🌳 Their Bentonville Square location, also known as “Bonyx,” welcomes community members and visitors alike to gather in its beautiful, modern space. This location is a classic spot to grab coffee with a friend, especially on a Saturday morning before or after the farmers market. 

 

🎨 In our opinion, Onyx at the Momentary is especially vibey—it is housed inside a contemporary art space after all! This location features an incredible mod bar with millennial pink design details throughout the café. Grab your coffee off the conveyor belt, take a stroll around the galleries, and enjoy artwork by some of today’s greatest artists.

 

💁🏽‍♀️ The newest ONYX Coffee Lab location, Doyenne Café, is a unique concept situated inside the new Walmart Home Office Campus. This café celebrates the women who work behind the scenes in coffee production around the world. With an exclusive menu only available at this location, Doyenne Café is a perfect stop for cyclists riding nearby trails or anyone curious to explore the campus of the world’s largest retailer.

Airship Coffee

Airship is a family-owned coffee brand with five locations in Bentonville, all catered to fit different moods. 

 

Airship at the pumphouse

 

🚵🏼‍♂️ Feeling outdoorsy? Take a bike ride or a walk to Airship at Coler Mountain Bike Preserve. The open-air café serves delicious coffee along with a myriad of snack options. Grab a seat on the patio on top of the building or sit on the swings on the lower level. Either way, you’ll get to enjoy the nice weather and stunning views of the preserve.

 

👩🏽‍💼 Talking business? Make your way over to Airship at the Ledger. This stunning café is located in the world’s first bikeable building and houses several beautiful conference rooms and individual work spaces.

⏳ Slowing it down? Airship at the Pumphouse is one of our go-to weekend coffee and brunch spots. With a beautiful, natural design and plentiful indoor and outdoor seating, this location invites you to take a break and catch up with a friend or curl up with a great novel. The café is located in a newly renovated space off the Downtown Square.

 

🐕 On the lookout for cute dogs? Airship’s flagship location on 5th Street has a great outdoor seating area where you can regularly spot some of the cutest pups in town. This is also a great place to be inspired as it’s surrounded by art! Next door, you’ll find CACHE Studios, an artist community gallery, and next door to that in the brightly colored building you’ll find Fifth Street Studios, a ceramics studio. Plus, take a short walk down the street and you’ll find yourself at the Momentary. This location also helps host Fifth Market in the fall and spring. Learn more here.

 

☕️ The newest addition to the Airship Coffee lineup is Airship on the Porch, located in the heart of the new Walmart campus. Designed as a space to relax, focus, or connect, it features a cozy, plant-filled interior that sparks creativity, and a covered outdoor porch perfect for enjoying fresh air with your favorite drink.

The Meteor Café might just be the jack of all trades when we’re talking about vibes. This is a place that you can go to for a business meeting or to knock out some work early in the morning, sit out on the patio and catch up with a friend over lunch, or grab drinks after a bike ride!

Heroes Coffee

 

Heroes Coffee and Marleys Bike

Located across from Thaden School and next to Crêpes Paulette, Heroes’s Bentonville location is another great option for treating yourself to a delicious little coffee. This location is unique for its bunk-booths. That’s right, bunk-bed-style restaurant booths! You can also watch the coffee being roasted from a large glass window across from the coffee bar. Now that’s a vibe.

 

Kennedy Coffee

 

Established in 2003, Kennedy is a locally-owned coffee shop located on SE 14th St. known for their specialty drinks, community-focused service, and cozy interior. We love Kennedy all the time, but we think there’s something extra special and a little nostalgic about sitting in the coffee shop in cooler weather. Check it out for yourself!

 

211 Café

 

Located inside the Bentonville Public Library, 211 Café serves locally roasted coffee from the owner’s friends’ coffee farm in Guatemala. Check out a book, grab a coffee, and put the rest of the world on pause for a few hours.

Kohi Coffee Bar

 

If you're visiting Bentonville and booked a stay at The Motto, you're already off to a great start. When you roll out of bed, head downstairs to Kohi Coffee Bar, where they serve expertly crafted drinks featuring ONYX Coffee Lab blends. Whether you're gearing up for a day of art, biking, or exploring downtown, it's the perfect way to kick things off in style—no extra steps required.
