    I only get the chance to come to Mena a couple of times per year, but this place gets to be on the list of stops I make. Their coffee has always been good and on my most recent trip, I was also able to try their food for the first time. The supreme pizza was fantastic! I look forward to getting to try a few of their other items the next time I pass through. Every time I've been in here it is pleasant, quiet, and a great place to sit and chat with friends. Comfy chairs and friendly service combined with great food and coffee is a potent combination that make this place a success!

    A Hidden Gem Worth Discovering! This place is an absolute treasure: a unique blend of coffee shop, restaurant, and brewery all in one beautifully curated space. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. The staff? Incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there and it shows in every interaction. Now let's talk about the food: wow. I started with coffee (perfection), paired it with freshly baked cookies and their homemade pretzels. each bite better than the last. And dinner? I had the pizza, and honestly, words don't do it justice. You can taste the quality and love in every dish. This isn't just a spot to grab a bite, this is a place you'll want to come back to again and again. Cozy, delicious, and full of heart. Truly a hidden gem in this town.

    A brewery disguised as a coffee house?? Genius!! So I am in Mena for a week and looking for some great craft beer... Most searches result in nothing close... Others make small mention of this place.. Dig even further and find out Mena was a dry county until a few years ago and that Ouachita was the first to start brewing here... Oh happy days for me!! What a great place... They pulled the trifecta within the first 10 minutes... First was the ambience.. As soon as you see this place it exudes a small town charm that exceeds almost all breweries/coffee houses.. Then you enter and it gets better... Clean, open and welcoming.... Next was service... We were greeted as soon as we walked in and treated graciously the entire time.. And finally the beer and grub... With a couple dozen beers on draft there is something for almost everyone... I sampled four and loved them all.. As for food, I can attest to the house salad and the Supreme pizza... All of which was devoured with no leftovers..... This was day in Mena for me... I can assure you this will not be the only visit to this coffee house for me... Beer, food and service... Can't ask for much more... Oh yeah, coffee... Cheers...

Now imagine, a brewery that's unexpected, dog, friendly, kid friendly, adult friendly, bring your own food, bring your own board/card game, enjoy the vibes of good time, and vacation relaxing. I can't wait to come again in the summer or spring. My spouse and I were in town the week of New Year's in this place was busy! They had a gourmet hot dog stand/ truck outside in the front of the brewery. This isn't a typical brewery set up when you walk in, there's a gift shop you order a beer right there with from friendly staff. It was a 50+ degree "winter" day, it felt natural to order a stout beer. The beers were on the more pricey side, but the beverage comes with complementary glassware to take home. It was weird, but it felt kind of natural that there were people under 21 since there was the hotdog stand and we brought our six month old baby. There are a few people with dogs, which I would recommend. I somehow ordered the best peanut butter stout I've ever had, which was a variation of their Opossum Pouch Stout. My spouse got a pumpkin spice brown ale, which was a variation of their Bigfoot Brown Ale. I won't lie, but normally I go halves with my spouse that comes to food and drinks... However, I was happy not to share my peanut butter stout. I can't wait to come again

Unfortunately, somewhere along the line the appetizer never got put in, so we didn't receive the boudin egg rolls at all. That was a miss, especially since that's something we were looking forward to trying. That said, the burgers absolutely made up for it. Both were cooked right and had great flavor. Solid, well-done burgers that hit the mark. No complaints there. We also grabbed a blueberry cheesecake to go, which turned out to be a great call. It was rich, flavorful, and a good way to finish things off. Service hiccup aside, the food quality, at least on the burgers and dessert, was strong.
