Word Coffee

Word Coffee is a community-focused coffee shop located at 816 N. College Avenue in Fayetteville, Arkansas, housed in a converted former liquor store. Founded by husband-and-wife team Giovanni and Catherine Roberts — both with deep roots in the specialty coffee industry — the shop serves coffee, tea, pastries, and light food options, with a commitment to paying a living wage to everyone in its supply chain, from farmers to baristas. Built on the belief that ideas shared by word of mouth carry greater impact, Word Coffee aims to be a laid-back gathering space where customers are encouraged to connect and talk about what they care about.
