Do you prefer iced or hot coffee?  Some people are a ‘black coffee only’ type, some will always drink iced coffee no matter the temperature (even with a giant snowstorm like NWA had this February 2022 weekend), and some swear that the only correct way to brew coffee is by a pourover at an exact temperature.  Coffee shops have become a central part of our daily lives, and there’s almost as many choices as there are ways to prepare your caffeinated brew. 

Here at Lewis Automotive Group, we’ve got our own bunch of coffee aficionados on staff, and almost always have a fresh pot of java brewing in our waiting areas in our new and used car dealerships.  When our staff or customers need just a little extra kick, however, there’s a whole list of amazing Coffee Shops that are locally owned here in Northwest Arkansas.  Since we’re a family owned and operated dealership ourselves, we love having the chance to get our jittery fix from other local businesses.  So when you’re on your way here to come test drive a 2022 Ford Bronco SUV, or you’re on your way to Bentonville and want to stop by for a free cup of coffee with us first and check out the features on the new 2022 RAM 1500 Pickup, we’ve got you covered.  Here’s a few local coffee spots near us:

Onyx - With locations in Fayetteville, Springdale, Bentonville, and Rogers, as well as a location inside the Momentary Modern Art gallery, Onyx Coffee Roasters has gradually grown since they opened in the NWA area years ago.  They remain committed to the same ideals as when they started: finding ethically sourced coffee and staying transparent on every other step of the coffee roasting process along the way.  They offer delicious menu items from their in-house roasted coffee including nitro Cold Brew, espresso, and the Onyx Delight, a creamy latte featuring honey and cinnamon.

Baba Boudan’s - This little drive-thru coffee spot has been a Fayetteville, AR staple for coffee on College Avenue, and is conveniently located near the downtown square and the Food Truck Yacht Club.  It’s family owned and operated, just like Lewis Automotive, and the Baba Boudan crew always earns rave reviews from their customers.  They have in-house brewed coffee, espresso, and latte’s.  For the ones in your group that may not be coffee fans, they also feature milkshakes, Italian sodas, smoothies, and muffins.

7Brew - Our staff at our Fayetteville Lewis Automotive Group locations were stoked when they saw construction starting on the latest 7Brew location.  This drive-thru coffee spot started in Rogers, AR in 2017 and has quickly expanded into the area since then, including a location DIRECTLY across the street from our dealership!  There’s a whole list of favorite drinks for each of our staff, so if you ask your Inventory Specialist what they’d recommend, they’ll probably have an answer for you!  They’ve got delicious options like the Smooth 7 (a breve with white chocolate and Irish cream), the White Chocolate Mocha, or even iced energy drinks with your favorite flavoring added for the caffeine kick without the coffee.

Next time you’re out and about for your next cup of coffee, come by and see us and check out the latest additions to our vehicle inventory!  You’re welcome to come have some of our complimentary coffee, or if you want to make sure your potential new car’s cup holders will securely hold a large cup of your favorite brew, taking it for a test drive to your favorite local coffee spot is a great way to make sure you’ve picked the perfect vehicle for you AND your cup of joe.  Give us a call at (888)271-6861 and we’ll get the vehicle you've chosen ready for you before you come in, and make sure that you have a true VIP test drive experience!
