Though I'm currently in PA, there's a good chance I'll be moving to Little Rock this summer. I wasn't sure where the Arkansans were housed in the CG Regions (Central or East [which, curiously, houses the South]) so I'm glad to know this is where you congregate.

Ian, I think Searcy is a couple of hours from here where I live, which is an hour from Duck there in Jonesboro. I am pretty sure Little Rock is 3 hours out....

Actually, I made a mistake. Searcy is only an hour and fifteen minutes from here. I do not believe you will find excellence anywhere within 5 hours drive, and maybe more, but I may be wrong. Let's see what some of the others here say....

It's been a while but Java Roasting Company (12800 Chenal Parkway) did an EXCEPTIONAL job with both shots and roasted coffee the last time I was there.

I kinda like Midnight Oil on Race Avenue in Searcy. It's not up there with shops I've tried in Pittsburgh (Taza d'Oro) and Colorado Springs (Serrano's) but it beats anything I've found in Memphis.

I'll agree with the Midnight Oil comment. They're now under new management and have gotten some much better equipment. In August they installed a 3-group La Marzocco and a Super Jolly.
They're using them pretty well, too.
Any word on Guillermo's Gourmet Grounds in Little Rock?
