Heroes Coffee in Bentonville is located northeast of the buzzing 8th Street. It’s housed in a converted gas station and offers the ambiance of a live roastery. Sitting at the southern tip of the Arts District, it’s a 12-minute walk from the famous 8th Street Market.
If you love delicious coffee and a lingering coffee bean smell, you shouldn’t miss the Heroes Coffee in Bentonville. In this article and speaking from personal experience, I’ll discuss everything you need to know about this iconic coffee shop – from the tiered seating to its natural ambiance. Let’s dive right in!

What To Expect From the Heroes Coffee in Bentonville
Despite having four branches across Missouri and Arkansas, the Heroes Coffee Company has chosen its latest site in Bentonville as its headquarters. This coffee shop goes beyond the norm of a typical coffee shop and offers some unique features.
I’ll explain them in more detail below:
The Cozy Heroes Den Has Tiered Sitting
Walking through the doors of Heroes Coffee in Bentonville, you cannot help but notice its warm interior. The exposed wood paneling, sunbeam yellow paint, and cushy seats make it a relaxing den for everyone. You can spread your arms or legs and chill or enjoy a little privacy in the booths after a busy day.
The raw, earthy vibes extend to the tiered sitting, which they’ve carried over from the Rogers location. The columns are aesthetically exposed, providing a unique and rugged edge to the overall ambiance.
You can sit on a raised level and get a unique bird’s eye view, which is perfect for zoning out from the hustle and bustle underneath.

The Roastery and a Peek Behind the Scene
The roastery is this location’s most exciting feature and is a perfect marker of their uncompromising authenticity. This is where Heroes Coffee roasts all its beans, which you can observe by peeking through the glass wall. Want to learn about a specific origin, like Ethiopian organic beans? Just ask the roaster at work and indulge your brain!
The incredibly mesmerizing smell of roasted coffee flows throughout the coffee shop, and it
evokes the sense of sitting in a rural coffee field. It also means that the coffee you order will be completely fresh, whether it’s a cold brew or a cup of Colombian supremo.
The cafe also makes the best espressos in town, which is no surprise considering they use their own roaster and beans. The signature espresso combines three origins in a unique blend, along with a few choices for the grind size.
Freedom To Create Your Coffee Experience
The baristas are incredibly welcoming and know how to let the customers be themselves. They’re polite and chilled and don’t pressure you to vacate your seat. You should definitely come with some time to spare to appreciate and take in the atmosphere of Bentonville’s favorite cafe.
Hanging out with friends? Why not bring them over to this low-key establishment and enjoy a few rounds of board games? They have a games room with board games to ensure you have an unforgettable time.
Heroes Coffee is also prepared to accommodate your wish if you don’t have much time for coffee. They have a walk-up window, where they sell fresh coffee on the go, which you can pre-order from their website. It’s the perfect solution to get your rush-hour coffee fix!
You can also find them listed on the eHungry app, which can deliver your daily coffee dose right to your doorstep. You can download the app from the app store.
Extensive Support for the Local Heroes
The Heroes Coffee Company is fundamentally geared toward supporting the local heroes, giving them a dose of quality coffee shots and relaxing their senses with a direct and authentic experience. In addition, the owners run a support program for military professionals, public safety workers, and veterans, which includes selecting a hero for each of their branches and fulfilling their needs.
They also actively engage with different social welfare organizations in the local communities, which includes providing free coffee and other financial support for community events.
