Brewing History and Community at Alley Cats Coffee Bar in Texarkana
Alley Cats Coffee Bar is a unique cafe where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee is wafting through the air, mingling with the rich history of this gem of a spot.
Texarkana has always held a special place in General Manager Hillary Cloud’s heart, and being part of its downtown revival is a dream come true for her. She says “If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans. Well, here I am, living out a passion for coffee and community.”
One of the highlights of Alley Cats Coffee Bar is its commitment to supporting local talent. They’ve had the pleasure of showcasing the work of about eight different local artists and artisans. From stunning artwork adorning the walls to locally sourced goods, they are weaving the essence of Texarkana into every aspect of their space.
Alley Cats Coffee Bar’s dedication to the farm-to-table concept extends beyond art to their menu. Picture this: fresh sourdough and Sullifarm sausage that embodies the flavors of the region. They take pride in curating a menu that reflects the diversity and richness of Texarkana's culinary offerings.
Now, let's talk coffee. Alley Cats Coffee Bar proudly brews Onyx Coffee from Rogers, Arkansas, ensuring each cup is nothing short of phenomenal. They are dedicated to consistency—every sip is a testament to the expertise of their team, meticulously crafting each cup to perfection.
Speaking of perfection, the restoration of the Alley Cats Coffee Bar space is a nod to the authenticity of a bygone era. Picture an old diner film with black and white checkered floors, bursts of color, and local art adorning the walls. It's not just about the coffee; it's an immersive experience that transports you to the 1940s.
Their pride and joy? The Concho, a 1948 train cart that once ferried celebrities from L.A. to Little Rock. The history oozes from every nook, and Alley Cats Coffee is eager to integrate it into their menu—think Concho Latte and more.
Step inside their time capsule at 305 East Front Street, right next to the 1894 Gallery, towards the train tracks.
Alley Cats Coffee Bar isn't just a place to grab your daily caffeine fix; it's a journey through time, a celebration of local talent, and a commitment to the vibrant community of Texarkana. Come on down, savor the flavors, and make history with Alley Cats Coffee together, one cup at a time.
See you at Alley Cats!
