Reviews of Speakeasy Cafe & Coffee Bar (Coffee Shop)

Ted McCain

I love having a local coffee house that also has a great breakfast! The Cuban is my favorite coffee and the breakfast tacos with pork belly...yum. On Saturdays, they have a biscuit and gravy special that is big enough for two. Seriously. It's huge and amazingly good. Go early on Saturdays because they get crowded in a hurry!

Toney Green

Wow. First time to try Speakeasy Cafe. I am extremely impressed. I ordered the grilled pork belly tacos and my wife ordered the steel oats. Everything was extremely well prepared and tasted very good. The pork belly tacos were full of flavor. My only complaint was there is hardly any tables for seating. Get some more tables for the Saturday crowd and this place would be popping.

June Garner

Very good coffee! Comfy atmosphere with tables and seating areas. Nice menu for breakfast and light lunch. Freshly squeezed orange juice and handmade smoothies are also delicious.

Jonathan Savage

Great Coffee

David Lengefeld

Just had lunch, got it to go. Great portions on the salmon club sandwich. They do not go cheap on the salmon ( in some spots it was as thick as a hamburger patty). The coffee was filled to the top and was also good.

Janessa Martin

Absolutely, LOVE this place!! Great coffee, food, atmosphere, and service! The owners are great and super friendly! My husband and I have become regulars and always have a great experience. Speakeasy is one of a kind coffee place around us and it's just awesome!

Tom Harden

Excellent coffees, wonderful breakfasts. Great value and family owned

Canaan McGee

Great locally owned and run spot to get delicious coffee and breakfast or lunch. I've tried almost everything on their menu and haven't been disappointed by anything yet.

Neil Greathouse

Great coffee with an extensive breakfast menu. The breakfast burrito is spicy & filling and the coffee was smooth.

Debbie Nalley

I gave the place 3 stars bc the atmosphere was quiet, the food and coffee were good, but the service was lacking hospitality & convenience. If you needed salt, pepper, fork, straw, etc for the food you ordered, u had to go to the counter and wait for the barista to finish an order and ask for it. Then you waited for them to get it & hand it to you without even a smile. The item was not brought to your table with your food or already on the table. This will not be my first choice for brunch and coffee with friends again.

Myron & Dianne Denson

Great espresso bar! Gracious owner. Wonderful smooth microfoam! As good as any espresso bar in Seattle! Try the Cuban coffee.

Danny Kent

Where to start...? IN A WORLD of overrated, overpriced "coffee", one shop has broken the mold. A barista with epic skill, and a destiny of biblical measure, has risen against the corporate java giants with just a sling and a stone. His aim is tried and true. The mermaid goddess of Hades, Medusa, has a stone shaped hole in her forehead and has been beheaded by a true coffee warrior. He has ridden away in victory on his steed of steel, the mighty BMW nine-t. If you enjoy the taste of victory first thing in the morning, only Speakeasy coffee will grant you the satisfaction. If you enjoy the taste of financially poor decisions, horrible coffee loaded with sugar, and defeat, then keep going to Starsucks. Bryant, AR is on the map because of Speakeasy coffee. Amen!

Randy Haley

Excellent place to eat locally. Let's keep this place packed. Great food!!

Ben Bradford

Great small business. The coffee and sandwiches, alike, are really good. The price is about the same as commercial chain, but you're getting a locally made product.

James Gentry

Definitely one of the best coffee shops in the LR area. Worth the 20 min commute

Rod Ford

Best Breakfast & Coffee in Saline County. The Handmade Artisan Breakfast Sandwiches are the Best I've Ever Tasted. I'll be Back!

Ricky Dyson

Not as good as it looked. Coffee was not the greatest. Not enough places to sit, we had to wait for a spot. Saturday special was plentiful. May not have to eat the rest of the day.

Randy Wright

Great coffee! Great everyday place! Highly recommend.

Frank Gilbert

Great selection of fine coffees at a much better price than Seattle-based mega corp. A calm, welcoming atmosphere and the staff was perfect. Never bothered us as we visited for more than four hours. I am pleased that such a great coffee venue is this close to home!

mike Burgess

Can't say enough! Fresh made! Never disappointed! Smoked Salmon Club!!

Nancy Pottage

Really excellent coffee. Stylish place. Well worth the small detour.

Athena **

Great atmosphere, the latte with honey is amazing! My son loved the hot cocoa! Highly recommend the Saturday biscuits and gravy.

Laura Wallace

My bf & I went for brunch Saturday and it was delicious! I had the French Toast Stack and Cold Brew Coffee and he had the Fried Bologna Egg & Cheese with a Cuban; we'd definitely recommend it. Very calm atmosphere when we went, clean, liked the decor.

Richie Rich

Eaten there several times had the salmon lox bagel excellent and their coffee is quality just waiting to see if they would get the exotic Kopi Lusaka coffee! I believe everybody should go and try it once then you might realize how it’s addicting...

Ben Van Scyoc

It’s the best coffee. I’ve only had a couple of food items but based on the quality it made me feel privileged to get to eat it. Locks&bagels

Arthur Ashby

Great Coffee, Food, and top notch service!

Katie Evans

Great coffee and vibe! It's a cool coffee shop that a lot of people in Bryant don't know about. My only complaint is I wish it was open longer because it's a great place to study or catch up with friends.

Douglas Russum

First time eating here. I’ve had a few coffee beverages before(which were always great) but my wife and I had time to kill. So we ordered the smoked salmon, cream cheese with cappers bagel(sorry can’t remember what they called it on the menu) along with the tacos with fried pork belly... It was fan-freakin-tasting!!! Every bite was excellent! And I don’t say that lightly. We both agreed, it was the best breakfast we had in awhile! I’m certain we will return soon...

Jacob T

Nice place on the inside. Very quiet and relaxing, but not super friendly or cheap.

J Lawson

It feels like the Grilled Pimento cheese with Crispy Pork Belly and house-made pickled jalapeno should require a permit or something. That amount of decadence and deliciousness is crazy. And as soon as I'm half way through I see the Tex-mex Grilled cheese with house-made chorizo?!?! Guess I'm coming back again tomorrow.

Bubba Allen

Food is yummy. Great atmosphere. Friendly people. Needs more seating but other than that it was perfect.

Myranda Heater

Staff are friendly & welcoming. My coffee, just a mocha, was good although the cups are small for what the price is. The vanilla didn't taste like vanilla.

Alicia T

Amazing breakfast, awesome atmosphere and the best coffee ever! I highly reccommend the Cuban!

Jamin Lynch

Great coffee as always.

Nick Gann

It's quiet & the food is fresh! Great coffee

Mike Renick

This spot is my favorite thing about Saline county. The coffee is delicious. The food is "foodie" quality. Every menu item I have tried (and that's most of them) was delicious. I can't think of a single reason to go anywhere else for coffee or breakfast.

Krystal McGinn

The best coffee we have had since we moved from Seattle!

Steven Bell

Great coffee (especially the Cuban)!

Cody Van Scyoc

Great place to get coffee, food (bagels and lox!!!), and enjoy getting some reading and work done. A hidden gem in Bryant.

Misti Kenison

Such a cool coffee bar. The drinks were great, and it’s so nice to support a local business instead of a big chain.

Matt Parker

Got a pour over here and it was nearing perfection for my taste. My kids got a cappucino and latte. Both agreed that it was great coffee. We’ll make this a regular stop on our coffee outings.

someonesouttogetme

Great food! Loved it!

Paige Newell

Ran across this cool little shop when trying to find a place to meet a partner. I rhetorically asked if there was even great coffee in Saline county, Then I googled it, come to find out there is AMAZING coffee and Food in Bryant. Michael has a fantastically cool place to meet and get your artisan caffeine fix. Come check out Speakeasy Coffee Bar today!

James Claypoole

Hands down, the best breakfast in Bryant! Avocado Toast, French Toast Stack and Fried Bologna Sandwich are my favorites!

Chris Stephan

Best Coffee in Arkansas. End of story

Cathryn Collins

The best local coffee shop around

Chris Walker

Phenomenal!

S White

Amazing! The food is great, the prices are reasonable, and it has a pleasant atmosphere. Delicious biscuits and gravy. We will be going again! ❤️

mrblove90

Absolutely fantastic. Atmosphere was wonderful. Service was excellent and the Tex-Mex grilled cheese is to die for. Definitely will be coming back.

vince barnes

My wife says that's the best grilled cheese sandwich she has ever had! Would definitely recommend this particular dish.

Ashley Figueroa

Best grilled cheese I have ever had!!!!! Seriously order it!

Brooke Groover

This place is great for brunch and nice coffee. It has a great atmosphere perfect for taking it easy on a Saturday morning.

Sophia D.

Speakeasy (and their sister shop Mug's in NLR) makes the best lattes I've had in central Arkansas, but the prices are so prohibitive that I can't afford but to enjoy one every couple of weeks. $5.30 for a 12 ounce latte is a bit steep, even for the stellar quality. Five stars for taste, one star for price. If they'd lower their prices a bit, they'd gain so many repeat customers.

james wolfe

Biscuits and gravy rock and the best coffee in saline county

Ottens Hill Farm Apiary

Amazing coffee and food! The big chains have nothing compared to this in coffee or breakfast foods. Good throwback decor.

Kelley Williams

I love the coffee, neat place and nice atmosphere.

Leah Marchand

This was a little gem we found while visiting for a debate tournament when coffee is a necessity ( late nights and early mornings)!! Coffee was freshly ground and made to order....the best coffee I have ever had! Peaceful environment inside as well!!

Tabita P

This place will definitely keep you awake! I find the coffee a little bit sometimes (hence the 4/5) but some people love that taste. Other than that we love getting coffee here. The Cuban on ice is good.

Mandie H

I loved the atmosphere. The service was good. The food was fresh!!

Cindy M

The person working the front register and the owner are unwelcoming and unfriendly and always in a bad mood. The owner isn’t receptive to any changes on your order and suggests only ordering as the menu reads. Zero flexibility for special dietary needs. This repeat customer won’t return.

Christopher Taravella

Awesome fresh food, clean and friendly! Coffee not bad either!

Mulerider

Great shop. Owner is a nice guy. Coffee is great, they use Onyx beans. Wish they stayed open later.

Jake Garner

Easily the best coffee in all of Saline county.

Brea Johnson

My friends and I came here to drink coffee and play board games. Super chill environment, and the coffee and salmon bagel were excellent!

Cedar Johnson

Cool hangout spot, very chill atmosphere and the owner is rad.

Jeff Dubya

The best cafe con miel in the state! A "slap yo mama" breakfast, I haven't found any meal here that isn't amazing.

Lorien Steingisser

Best coffee

I don’t think so

Great place to relax. Good vibe and great quality. You get what you pay for and it is a local feel. You will not be disappointed.

Sarah Grulke

I have gone back and I am so impressed with there cutomers sevice. Everyone is so nice. The coffee is so good and the food will blow you out of the water. You must take your family I promise you they will not let you down.

Alex Benton

Good food, my only complaint is there was no sausage in the gravy. That's why I didn't give it 5 stars

David Perrin

Great food, Onyx coffee, Try it.

Ben Gunn

The food is amazing! And the coffee is better than anything you ever had! Just try it. You wont be disappointed.

Tom Peacock

We stopped by Speakeasy on the way through town as an alternative to the national coffee chains and loved it. It reminds me of a time when the national chain had personality and was passionate about good coffee and fresh food. Come here at breakfast for local flavors, great coffee and a touch of inspiration.

Shankar Kathiresan

Speakeasy Cafe & Coffee Bar never disappoints! If you are in the area you HAVE to check them out. Great coffee, great food, and great service.

Carol Ray

Coffee was great! Definitely recommend checking this place out if you want to try something other than the usual. Support local business!

Cathie D

Been there several times, Never disappointed. Great lattes & breakfast sandwiches.

Drew Garrison

The crew at Speakeasy go above and beyond to ensure the quality of their product. The coffee is great, they are a local business and the food there is delicious. Bryant should be proud to have such a wonderful place like Speakeasy in their town. Try the French Toast Stack and a Cuban Latte with caramel.

Megan Phillips

Always nice to sit and relax! Coffee is great!

Jeremy Stewart

Great coffee. Great conversation. Great ownership. Worth the stop.

Michelle G

I adore this spot. The coffee is ON POINT and the food looks so incredible. My only complaint is that I cannot get here more because the hours are so limited. I would love to be able to try the food sometime

Dee Ann Hill

Excellent service, gourmet coffee AND delicious food? That is what I experienced at Speakeasy. Short version: if you’re in Bryant, AR go check this place out. You won’t be disappointed. Long version: I ordered a French Press coffee and it was the best coffee I’ve had since leaving Texas four days ago. Bold yet smooth, the house blend was impressive. Crispy pork belly tacos for me and biscuits & gravy for the Hubs. We were both very happy to have passed up the free breakfast at the hotel. Pork belly tacos. Fluffy eggs, scallions, and shredded pork belly topped with a salsa rojo and creme-fresh. I’ve gotta figure this one out at home. Biscuits & gravy. 2 Light biscuits with egg and sausage patties peppered cream gravy. The Hubs wanted to lick the plate but with a 2 year old audience opted for civility.

D E****

We are driving cross country and found this place on Google. We both agree, this is the best breakfast of the whole trip thus far (2,500 miles). I cannot say enough. OUTSTANDING! Pork belly tacos and lox were both really tasty and with large portions. You cannot tip with card so bring them some cash.

lori kirchner

Love this place. The coffee is delicious every time and they make my favorite breakfast sandwich!

Seth Barger

Pleasant environment, good coffee. Barista has a sick bike

Rebecca Fitch

This coffe shop has a great vibe! The guy working today was really nice and got our orders put quickly. I had the Mayan Mocha. A kicking twist to a mocha-and it is amazing!

Bryce D

Just moved to the area from Oregon, and this has been our refuge for quality coffee & food. Nice atmosphere, underpriced respectable coffee drinks, & a simple food menu made with quality ingredients.

Alek Eurich

Excellent.

Sandra Peacock

Fantastic place! Great coffee, interesting menu and full of coffee history.

Jenifer McCauley

Such a yummy breakfast and fun atmosphere

Elizabeth Russell

Friendly people, quiet, great coffee and local! Doesn't get better than this! I had begged for a local coffee shop in Saline County for years and we finally have it!

glenn kuhn

Wayfair slider is outstanding Mayan mocha is very good too

Thomas Trahan

Great coffee

Wesley Russell

This place has the best coffee in Arkansas!!! Customer service is top notch! Try the cafe con miel!

Crystal Steeby

Went here because it had great reviews and I love going to local coffee shops when I’m in a new town. It’s usually a really fun experience and you get to meet new people. The food was good. There wasn’t much seating available but there was one small table in the back that we squeezed into. Someone left from another large table after we had sat down, and the guy working there came and told us to move and share the bigger table with another guy, so the ladies at the table next to us would have more space. We moved because they were a very nice group of ladies,(who said “oh no they’re fine we have enough space”) but the guy who told us to move was really rude and stuck up. I didn’t feel welcome there, they were not friendly at all. They all seemed stuck up. Not a pleasant atmosphere if you’re not a regular.

Claire Gauthreaux Schoppe

Delicious as always!

Carol Waddle

The food is really good, but there isn't an adequate exhaust system and the air is full of smoke from the grill. My eyes burned from the minute we walked in.

Mark Anthony

From NY loved this place best breakfast i ever had!!

Les Bradford

Really good coffee. Friendly service . Good atmosphere

Amrit Pannu

Loved the coffee and sandwiches

Jonathan West

This is the best coffee in town, puts Starbucks to shame! Seriously, this is the place to go for coffee!

Kim Morris

Stopped here while traveling from Georgia to Texas. I had the best coffee! I tried a Cuban coffee, made here using espresso & steamed milk, with sweetened condensed milk. The best coffee drink I've ever tasted! I loved the atmosphere and style of this coffee bar, along with the "Speakeasy" style music! Highly recommend!

Caleb Grayson

top quality 3rd wave style coffee. Japanese drip cold brew. fresh grind pour over. lovely espresso. note: we drove by and didn't see it. it's in the middle of a strip mall with a simple black and white sign.

Krystal Anderson

I really wish I could visit this coffee shop more often, because I love it! I have never had bad service so I’m not really understanding why a lot of these reviews complain about that. And believe me - I am a stickler for good customer service. If it’s less than stellar, I won’t give a business my money. But this shop is top notch with a great variety of drinks.

Brandon Morrow

Fantastic spot! Great local tastes and the best coffee in Saline County.

Zack Ide

Awesome place to grab a cup of coffee with friends in Bryant. Great coffee and service, plus the food is phenomenal if you stop by for breakfast or lunch.

Brandon Morris

Weird place, but I love weird! The coffee was excellent, and so was the bologna breakfast sandwich. Excellent staff. Thank you for a great experience!

Caleb Browner

I normally get the breakfast bagel, add Siracha Mayo, with a Carmel latte. I am NEVER disappointed. This is my new place to go for coffee in the mornings, and I look forward to every single cup. Thanks man
