Where to find The Artistic Bean
What's in the cup
“I really enjoyed hearing about how much he cared about quality coffee and organic!”
“No, here you get organic, house roasted, small batch coffee beans.”
“I’m not usually able to tell the cupping notes and flavors by myself, but I could taste the chocolate and nuts.”
What regulars say again and again
“It’s a gorgeous machine and it made a gorgeous crema on their fresh in-house roasted beans.”
“I’m not usually able to tell the cupping notes and flavors by myself, but I could taste the chocolate and nuts.”
“Very cozy, I was passing (road trip) by and got a lot of homework done while enjoying my coffee, very spacious, I was the only 1 there tho, everybody just orders to go.”
What customers say
Good espresso and cozy/quaint atmosphere. I sipped the crema right off the top of the espresso and it blew my mind. I wasn’t sure what to except from a Fort Smith Cafe, but the Artistic Bean delivered. I ordered a double shot and my wife had a traditional cappuccino. Both were good.
Stan the Owner rocks!! Showed up for a latte and left with a wealth of knowledge on coffee. Including why a blonde roast will have more caffeine and how to ask for hot cold brewed coffee to avoid acid reflux! Loved the coffee, the vibe, the ambiance and the whole lot.
Not your traditional coffee stop, you won't be getting a triple shot frappemochachino or whatever. No, here you get organic, house roasted, small batch coffee beans. The owner is knowledgeable about all things coffee and a wonder to talk to.
Phenomenal coffee. Excellent owner. I got the house studio blend, and I have to say that it is one of the smoothest coffees I’ve ever had. The flavors come out very well. I’m not usually able to tell the cupping notes and flavors by myself, but I could taste the chocolate and nuts.
