The number of cool coffee shops in Bentonville is amazing, considering the size of the city. Meteor is a unique combination of coffee shop, bakery, pizza joint (!) and bike shop. I had a matcha latte with oat milk and it was amazing. The cup size was larger than normal, the presentation was great, and they made the matcha from scratch, using matcha powder and not pre-made matcha. It’s worth the visit. Also, lots of good looking people.

We love stopping by here to grab some coffee or wine/beer food especially when we’re done with a bike ride. I just love their pizza it’s a good portion size and it’s so cheesy I love cheese and their crust is amazing my favorite part! If you haven’t tried the pizza do it!! Grab a margarita while you’re at it!! ❤️

I hardly ever drink, but I had a really long week at work and desperately needed to sit with a beer and read a book. This place was perfect. Bartender was super nice and made my whole night. I came in feeling bone-tired and a bit sad and left smiling. Thank you.

The pizza was delicious. I typically would prefer to have my crust a little crispier, but the flavor made up for it. They have a large selection of wine to have while dining or by the bottle and some pretty cool merchandise. Was excited to know where I can shop locally for some Pirelli mountain bike tires. Great place to meet some friends and hang out.

This is truly a place to burn the midnight oil. If you are looking for a lofi cafe in NWA, this is the place.

Good coffee. Darker than what I prefer, and I wish the seating was more comfortable. But the vibe of the place is so cool.

“Such an interesting experience in your mouth. Dynamic fluidity of flavors encapsulate the genius of those working at The Meteor. Bitter intelligentsia espresso, sharp and biting tonic water with the slightest hint of rose and citrus take you on another level of culinary ecstasy with the Rose Lip Bliss.” - Landon Salman

Good coffee! My pour over was good.Great spot for studying or remote workers. Wifi, plug-ins, coffee, lunch and beer. Loved my pizza I got. Selection is simple but all good.Staff and service was fine, not necessarily friendly or great, but needs were met.Bike friendly, not really car friendly. Sadly I’ve driven by and been unable to find parking nearby that seems okay (ie won’t get towed or ticketed or damage grass or block construction) so I’ve gone somewhere else instead. This has happened 3 out of 4 visits.

Coffee, first and foremost. But they also have food. It’s a varied but limited menu. Still, my dining companion and I had a hard time narrowing it down. We went with the Shawarma bowl and a Caesar salad. They also have a burger, and pizza. Absolutely going to make an attempt to try one of everything.

Pros: Great atmosphere and options for seating, and friendly staffCons: I have a dairy allergy and asked for a drink with a nondairy creamer, but instead I received milk that was soured and expired as well. I couldn’t drink all of it of course, but got embarrassingly sick on the way home and got food poisoning.Sadly after that I can’t trust this place enough to come back, which is unfortunate because it is a cool place to hang out at while riding, especially with the location

Cool vibe. Good coffee. Helpful staff. Nice that it’s within walking distance to the Momentary. Note to parents with kids- the pizza red sauce can be pretty spicy. Good though! It also includes a bike shop and bottled wine selection.

Pros : Unique takes on traditional sandwiches. Excellent vegetarian soup. All the sandwiches we had were delicious and come with kettle chips. Portions are big enough to share. Has an attached bike shop. Also sells wine. Dogs welcome on patio.Cons: Music is too loud.

Great experience here! Very helpful and knowledgeable staff, in and out bike service, reasonable cost for repair. I also enjoyed the cafe while waiting - great food and fun place to hang out. I highly recommend the Meteor for biking community as well as others who just want an awesome new place with a chill vibe.

Excellent service. Coffee pros behind the counter and a good coffee selection. Tasty breakfast tacos. And the bike shop next door gives it the perfect Bentonville vibes.

Off the beaten path but a nice walk thru Bentonvilles revamped neighborhoods. We had three delicious burgers and great chicken sandwich. Nice selection of beers and great selection of wines. Bike shop restaurant high end Rapha gear sold here, tho the name originally belongs to music store/venue downtown, we’d come back and hope to soon!

If your local corner cafe had a baby with a bike shop, this would be it. Bike friendly plus bike shop in the cafe.Good food- had the Monte Cristo sandwich and it was awesome!

Review №27

Very nice interior and I like the concept built around bikes. I would probably meet up with friends for a beer here but not the coffee. I got a Breve for my friend and drip coffee for myself. I inquired what temp they steam milk and was told 140 which is too warm. Having worked in the coffee industry for a few years it was known that you steam the milk to 160. Breve was good my friend said and coffee was ok but surprised that there was additonal charge for coffee refills. I am looking for another hangout other than the Holler to get on my computer. Didnt feel it on my first visit.

The best place to plug in and work while you have a coffee, a bite to eat or even a glass of champagne. Bring your bike if it needs a time up!

The place may have been having a bad day, but it took 45 minutes to get our food. Also, the table wasn’t clean.This place isn’t inexpensive and the experience didn’t match the price. It seems like more effort goes to atmosphere then service. When the food showed up, it wasn’t bad.

Review №31

What a cool find, easily one of the most aesthetic looking spots in Northwest Arkansas. The staff is very friendly and the environment is perfect for hanging out, working, or studying. They serve intelligentsia which is a huge plus. Can’t wait to try the pizza as well!

Love this place! They have probably the best coffee in town and the service is fantastic. Super nice people serving you super coffee. What more could you ask for? Also, the service at the bike shop is absolutely top notch. Every other bike shop had a week to two week turn around time and they hooked up my bike with a new chain, shifter cable and housing in a matter of hours. Oh and they cleaned my bike!!

Nice bike shop. Bought a helmet, had to order correct size, didn’t come in when it was supposed to (not bike shop fault, it was helmet brand manufacturer) picked a different helmet, more expensive and owner comped us the difference in price even though it wasn’t his fault.That’s going above and beyond on customer service in my opinion and I was in sales for 40 years.Check the store out, can’t go wrong. Very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.

Review №46

Meh - Roman Style pizza should be fairy thin and crispy. This was thick, dense and highly fermented. If you like dense sourdough bread, you might like this. Though on the thicker side, it also doesn’t compare to the bubbly Naples style crusts. I’m not sure how I would categorize this pizza. There was very little sauce which it needed. The sausage was excellent. But even so, I would not get food from here again. I got two muffins to go and they were utterly forgettable as well. One was was over baked, almost burned and the other was stretchy which was odd. It is a cute place and a novel idea inside a bike shop.

Review №47

Been here a few times now. Nice shop, decent pizza by the slice, decent selection of local beers. outdoor and indoor seating close to the bike trail. Only complaint is they serve brunch until 3 on Saturdays... after riding the bike trail we wanted pizza and beer at noon and not breakfast food..so we know to only make this a weekday stop for lunch now.

The sauce meant to go on the meteor burger was not available, so they used spicy ketchup which was like vinegar and tomato juice. The burger was just not worth the money. The ham and cheese sandwich though was hands down delicious!

Review №52

Inconsistent, from very friendly to outright indifference and rudeness. Very worker dependent. Inconsistent in menu and food. Sometimes great, then other times they tell you they are out of lettuce or other greens after they bring you the sandwich and/or salad.We visited there several times a week for months ordering coffee, coffee and food, or coffee and snacks; with/without kids and with kids and friends.Sadly we will not be going back after todays visit with family and friend. We will miss Landon, Kevin, Jacob, Grace, Lou... but hey... it is what it is!

I really hope this place survives. I’m there very often either for the bike shop or food and while they’re still ironing out some kinks, the vibe and people are awesome. Ben & team at the bike shop are the best in the area and they can consistently get you in and out in minutes. They are real professionals.They do need to lower their food/drink prices and be more consistent with quality though — Bentonville isn’t Austin and if prices are too high or a product too niche, businesses don’t survive here. Also, I already tip when ordering food but it’s annoying when the cashiers select the 20% option for you prior to flipping the screen around. I have no problem tipping 20% but let me make that decision. It’s only a couple of them, you know who you are!

Nice place! Looks like a place I’ll come work from often as it is bright and warm. Coffee was great, can’t go wrong with Intelligentsia. They have a wide selection of beer. Pizza looked delicious and will have to come back to give it a try.

I was very excited for The Meteor to open, but I left with a mediocre feeling. Although the coffee is from Intelligentsia, the pour-over tasted watered down and tasteless.The shop has great wood tones and a sense of warmth, but the customer service was far from it.

Review №65

Very disappointing. I live in the neighborhood and I walked over this evening, before 6:00 p.m., hoping to try their pizza. The online information I found said that they were open 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m.. It was locked up tight! IT will be a long time before I try again! On a side note, many Bentonville residents have expressed their concerns and confusion about a second business opening here in the downtown area, with the name Meteor, as we ALREADY have a Meteor Guitar! I was expecting this site to be named good coffee too as that neon sign has been up for months, and I thought that was a clever perfect name.
