This place has to hands down have thee best coffee I have ever had in a long time! The atmosphere is warm and inviting. There is a section to lounge and look at some art. They support local businesses by displaying some local mugs and other items. They roast the coffee themselves in shop and they ship all over the US as well! The staff, which was a family affair (we love), was super friendly, informative, and full of smiles.. oh! And they know their coffee!! We were just passing through town to head back home when we tried this place but man do I wish I could've packed them up and brought them with me to Houston!! Great work Artistic Bean Family! read more

Super cute coffee shop with some pastries. We stopped here on our way out of town and the two women working were super friendly. Coffee was great, muffins were good. They have things they sell like art and shirts and other items to support local small businesses. This is the kind of coffee shop I love to go to! read more

Nice place in downtown Fort Smith. Along with coffee, they have pastry breakfast food. Lots of choices in coffee selection, great open space and local art for sale hanging on the walls. The owner was present and welcoming, but the young kids working here are still learning the intricacies of coffee...no biggie, everyone is very nice. Nice alternative to Fort Smith Coffee Co. read more

My lavender white chocolate latte was great, but I also got a tuxedo cookie, and it was as hard as a rock... I understand the crunchy cookies but this was not even that... avoid the "goodies" stick with the coffee/espres read more

The ambiance is just what you want in a quiet and cozy coffeehouse. That doesn't compare to the amazing taste and quality of their coffee. Of all the coffee houses in Fort Smith you will not find one as good as here. Stan knows everything you could ever want to know about where, when, why, and how of coffee beans. He has turned his passion of coffee into an art form. You will not be disappointed. So many varieties and always a delicious treat or pastry to go along with it. Again, you won't be disappointed. read more

Tried the Artistic Autumn hot latte (12oz) and it was delicious. Very well made with authentic fall flavors. Ambiance was welcoming with what appeared to be vendor products around the store that fit in well with the decor. Cozy vibes and friendly staff and patrons. Service was great. Would return. read more

Good coffee. Beans for sale. Good conversation with the workers. True example of southern hospitality. Only knock I guess would be food was limited to pastries and some mini fridge items. I wanted one of those breakfast sandwiches I saw pics of on Yelp! Of course, they don't do that anymore just my luck. Go check em out. read more

Great coffee and we also enjoyed our breakfast croissant and biscuit sandwiches. Cute shop!! read more

Lots of space to relax and drink your coffee. Art and pastry fill the gaps that coffee can't fill. read more

My fiancé pointed me in the direction of this great locally owned coffee shop, and it's reason 7893 why I love her so much. This coffee shop is so quaint and welcoming. I visit local coffee shops anytime I'm traveling and I have to say... this shop is my go to when I'm in the area. I literally look forward to tasting these beans. I love the fact the owner roasts all the organic beans himself with a beautiful little roaster. I've had the pleasure of visiting with the owner a couple of times and he's a very nice gentleman. I'll always spend my money for a great product, but it's a cherry on top when it goes to a family with great values. Can't wait till my next cup... do yourself a favor and go taste those beans. Cheers! read more

This is not a review for the great coffee this place has or the very friendly and prompt service. I also really liked the huge place and the art inside ( looked like local) , I was really happy to find great tasting coffee in Fort Smith. What this one star is for is the message on the tip jar , that reads " due to minimal wages tip your Barista, thank you, the Management" are you kidding me? Well Mr. or Mrs management how about YOU paying your employees fair wages? Wages they can live off? Ever thought about that? Would you work for minimal wages and have your bosses solicit for you? This is just gross to say the least. If I m ever back in Fort Smith I will for sure not come back here! Sorry to all the people that have to work here and don't get a fair pay I feel for you and surly hope you can leave as fast as possible and find some better paid job! read more

Fantastic place ! We came here while travelling from California and the coffee is amazing ! We got the pumpkin latte with oat milk, she made sure it wasn't too sweet and they were so friendly. Very cute little spot. We would for sure come back . read more

This place was great! Very large, lots of room to work or chat with friends. I had a decaf latte and it was excellent. The decor is also very artsy, with paintings and pictures all over the wall. The staff was helpful and efficient. read more

Father and daughter duo serves the most delicious cookie frapp and unsweetened dark, bold Americano. When you walk into Artistic Bean, the smell just captures your soul. You can tell that this establishment was built on love for the people and the coffee. They also feature local artists work and have ample seating indoors only. Wish we weren't in a pandemic because it looks like they used to have live music. Support local businesses, drink delicious and quality coffee from Artistic Bean. -Coffee Snob from California read more

A cozy locally owned coffee shop. They brew their own beans onsite. There is a nice breakfast and lunch menu in addition to the coffee's. We came across this shop while traveling through town and spent about a hour just taking. Very nice spot and very good coffee. read more

The most underrated establishment in Fort Smith! Their coffee and food are both fire and the bald dude that works there is hella chill

Hubby and I were traveling through Fort Smith for work and decided to stop at this coffee shop. They had one of the best lattes I have ever tasted. We ended up buying the espresso beans they used so we could make our own at home since we are far from Fort Smith. The only let down is that they had to close down the kitchen and lay off workers during the pandemic to keep afloat so we couldn't try any of the food items except for their baked goods (which were amazing by the way) read more

This place is so awesome. My wife and I came in to visit family and we enjoy visiting new coffee shops. This one is great! The owner gave us some tips on opening our own shop in California and was just an all around nice guy. This place will continue to receive our business, as well as our friends and family. read more

Great place. With the weather cold the warm drinks we AWSOME. Jeanne loves the white mocha latte. Biscuits were fresh and tasted great.

Very nice local-feel coffee and light meal spot. They roast beans here, which adds a lot to the atmosphere, as well as providing super-fresh coffee. Good Wi-Fi and comfortable seating make for a good experience. read more

This is the best coffee that I have come across in the US. Spent some time in Europe, and learned what a real cuppa tastes like, and when I came back I was sorely disappointed in what the average American calls "good cpffee". Until I found The Artistic Bean. They roast their beans in house, and they serve a beautiful shot of espresso. Truly the only place I'll go to for coffee in the entire state. read more

Great customer service, clean & inviting atmosphere. My coffee was delicious. The manager, Jimmy showed us the huge coffee grinder. My coffee had homemade whipped cream and did I say it was delicious. He talked about the beautiful expresso machine. I'm rambling now but coffee was yummy read more

Just did drip coffee but was very happy with it . Nice quiet place. Nice people. Good place to get some work done or study.

Best cup of coffee I've had in a long time. These guys source the best and roast the beans on site. Friendly service and a great atmosphere as well. Walked out with 2 bags of whole bean! read more

I'm from out of town & happened upon this place for coffee & lunch - I was NOT disappointed!!! Their coffee is very strong & flavorful, with tons of options how to take it. Their lunch special seemed a little expensive to me but after having the BLT, I would've paid the price again! The food is AMAZINGLY delicious with a very large variety! They serve breakfast & lunch, both hot or cold sandwiches, with many other options like soups, fries, quesadillas, & tons of sides! read more

Not just a Starbucks competitor. Starbucks doesn't even come close. Atmosphere is nice; and the staff friendly. I learned a lot about coffee; and yes there is a lot to know for those who care. Whether you just like black coffee or more intricate blended concoctions. The owner was very friendly and informative. They also have art - nice . read more

This coffee shop is great! Wonderful atmosphere and local paintings for purchase on the wall. Their coffee is nothing like I've ever had before and the owner is very nice. It is definitely worth checking out. read more

I enjoyed their coffee, along with the aesthetic of the shop. However, during their moments of rush, their customer service drops significantly. I recommend a Mocha with a shot of caramel, but none of their pastries. They were quite dry. read more
