Bentonville Ice Cream Worth Melting For
- Spark Cafe
Hours: Mon-Thurs 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. Fri-Sat 10 a.m. - 10 p.m. Sun 12 - 6 p.m.
The Spark Cafe is a notable charm on the Bentonville Square. The beloved cafe is known for its unique, Walmart-themed flavors and affordable prices! Highlights include the F-150 (named and colored after Sam Walton’s iconic truck, Betty) and Spark, a blue, yellow, and white cream to match Walmart’s branding. These flavors, along with many others, keep visitors coming back for the homey, small-town vibes that made Walmart what it is today.
- Superfine Sweet Shoppe
Hours: Tues-Thurs 1 - 9 p.m. Fri-Sat 12 - 10 p.m. Sun 12 - 6 p.m.
Sleek, colorful, modern. These are the vibes of Superfine Sweets Shoppe from the moment you walk through the door. And dessert alert! They also have baked goods, cookies, and other sweet treats. But, I highly implore you to try some of their ice cream. If you want to get into the season, they offer a Pumpkin Spice Latte flavor during the fall. They also have your classic vanilla, chocolate and strawberry as well as elevated favorites like mint, peanut butter honey, lemon poppy seed, and “golden milk,” which brings a sweet kick as it is made with ginger, cinnamon and coconut milk. Their flavors all taste fresh on their own or can be amped up with toppings. It’s also the perfect spot for a good social media photo op!
- Trash Creamery
Hours: Every day, 12 - 10 p.m.
Do you like your ice cream to have a lot of toppings on it? Do you like getting things mixed in? Maybe even multiple flavors? Look no further! Trash Creamery, located next to Skylight Cinemas, is the perfect combo for the Summer! Step 1: Choose your base. Step 2: Mix in your “trash.” Step 3: Finish with toppings. It’s that simple. Candy, cereal, cookie dough, and more are all at your disposal. With all of these options, you may have trouble deciding what to get. However, Trash does the deciding for you by offering menu items that include “Ritzy Bizness” and “Karma Chameleon.” Get ready to satisfy your sweet tooth and utilize everything this place has to offer. Best part of it all? This place is definitely not trash!
- Honeybean Ice Cream
Hours: Thursday, Sunday 2 - 9 PM Fri-Sat 2 - 10 PM
You know the ice cream is going to be good when it is advertised as “Super Premium.” That’s exactly what you get at Honeybean Ice Cream. Honeybean is high-quality ice cream done down to a science. They are even transparent about this science as they state their ice cream has a 14.1% milk fat % and a 27% overrun making their ice cream one of the most high quality ice creams in the area. These percentages create a very dense and creamy ice cream. Not to mention an “Arkanstrawberry” flavor made from the state’s finest strawberries. Need I say more?
