I have to give this place 5 stars. For being right off the most busy square in the area, the Spark Café holds true to Walmarts Every Day Low Prices motto. You can get nachos, ice cream, a drink, and more for under $10. Perfect place to stop and get a snack. They serve hot chocolate during the winter too. Definitely worth the stop.
Great prices, good flavor. BUT.....our cone and shake died on the counter while the server was not at the front serving. Ended up with a liquid cone and milk. Need to focus on the task at hand.
Took the nieces and nephews and had a good time eating ice cream
One of the best places to get cheap ice cream. They have all of the basic flavors covered and decent variety of toppings. For the price, its hard to go wrong.
I ordered a chocolate malt. 3 orders after mine - 2 of them with 4 items were called before mine. Mine was sitting on the counter when they called the last two. Well, then, it wasnt even a malt- just a shake. I was really disappointed as I was really looking forward to this! The girl said some things take longer than others. Why not just do them in order?
Ive always enjoyed visits to the Spark Cafe. Even during the Wuhan Coronavirus pandemic theyve been great about keeping the take away window open. I like the high quality ice cream offerings and affordable prices. Even though theres only street parking nearby Ive always lucked out finding a parking spot. The best part is that they accept Walmart Pay on your phone!
Fun for kids, good selection and decent ice cream, reasonable wait time for the high traffic, and in a cute square.
Best place for ice cream in Bentonville.
Its funny, this place has the same ice cream you can get at a walmart store but it just tastes...better for some reason. Is it an illusion? Pretty good prices and treats for kids. Not bad, average tasting stuff.You would think that for one of the largest corporations in the world, walmart would make the atmosphere and service of its museum/cafe impeccable. But no, the service and atmosphere were just average. Then again though, its walmart food with okay taste and cheap prices, what more could you ask for?
Good ice cream (Yarnell’s) at amazingly low prices make this a must for any family visiting the Bentonville Square. They have about a dozen flavors for cones, sundaes and shakes. The young people working the counter are usually upbeat and friendly and the vintage soda shop vibe is cool. It can get crowded if a large group comes through the Walmart Museum but the line moves fairly quick.
They really need a vegan ice cream!!
A must-see when visiting Bentonville, Arkansas. Such a fun atmosphere with delicious ice cream for locals and visitors alike. Not to mention the best prices in town!
Terrible service. Bland ice cream. Go some where else.
Sparks Cafe is so charming! I come here pretty frequently, it’s a Bentonville staple. The prices are super cheap and the quality is great. I have never experienced or seen poor customer service here, the staff is so friendly and they are super quick! Whenever I have guests in town, I always bring them by.
Spark Cafe has great hospitality. My two year old got a car from The Walmart Museum that had a security tag on the bottom of it. He wouldnt stop whining until we got it off, the guys behind the counter at Spark took their time to get the tag off for him. I appreciate the help that they gave me so that we could enjoy our ice cream! The ice cream was great and the overalls atmosphere was very enjoyable. Thank you!
We love this place! We go as a family every week. They have tiny little cones for the little kids, the ice cream is delicious, AND its cheap?! Its amazing! I feel like the workers represent Sam and how he wanted Walmart and Sams club to be represented. Very friendly
Our family loved visiting the Spark Cafe Soda Fountain. The charming ambiance, friendly staff, classically delicious shakes and ice cream and very affordable prices all made for the perfect ending to our night out in Bentonville. Special thanks to the manager for creating a dairy-free banana split medley!
Great prices! Friendly staff. Walk the museum for the full experience stop next door to the five and dime. Fun atmosphere throughout.
A great place for cheap ice cream! The service is always great and quick, and the servers are pretty big for what you pay for. I swear the Yarnell ice cream they serve tastes better than store bought.
We go here almost every weekend. Probably the best old fashioned ice cream around that you can get at probably the cheapest price I have ever seen. Very cute little place attached to the Walmart museum. Has a patio that is very dog friendly. The line can be kind of long sometimes but the staff moves quickly and tries to accommodate in any way they can.
Most reasonable price for ice cream treats in the area. Pleasant, attentive staff. And the place is always clean!
Located downtown in the square, Id stop here after eating at one of the many good restaurants around. About 12 flavors of ice cream and its extremely in expensive. A cone, 2 scoops in a cup, and a malted was only $6.50. Its part of the Walton Museum.
Really great place, the service is great and the staff are very friendly and tend to anything you might have, I have not had every item but pretty much everything tastes amazing. There is also a museum with the history of Walmart and Sam Walton. If you are visiting Bentonville I definitely recommend coming here.
My first visit was on Small Business Saturday in November 2017. It was super busy. But, the prices are great & the service was great! Would like to go back when it’s not so crowded.
I love love love this ice cream shop. They have the best butter pecan and waffle cones. I will need to go in on an empty stomach some day to try the banana split, it is huge and looks delicious! The shop is attached to the Walmart museum, so check out the museum for free, and end with ice cream! The atmosphere is fun, reminds me of the Back to the Future soda shop. Best part is the prices, very inexpensive!
I love this place! Great old time soda fountain atmosphere! And top notch ice cream!
Great ole time atmosphere. Great ice cream and very good prices.
This is such a fun place to take a break. The prices are VERY affordable, and the ice cream and sodas are great. You may wait in line for a while, as they are usually very busy. We enjoyed sitting outside at the tables on the sidewalk as well.
Tried this out after reviews said it was good. While the price might be great the quality is bottom of the barrel. Ice cream was very sub par and full of actual ice. My wife stopped after two bites of eating her one scoop and threw away the rest. Dont go for the ice cream unless you have no other choice.
All around a throwback in time experience. The brewed coffee is exceptional for the price ($1.09) and the ice cream during summer is a huge hit. Spake Cafe is definitely worth a stop just to peak back in time.
We love going here every week as a family. Really great pricing, fun environment, and great ice cream
Best deal in town for ice cream! Long line, but moved fast! Love the downtown atmosphere.
We love to come here for icecream year round! Hot chocolate or coffee when its cold. The staff is friendly and the prices are excellent. Customer service is wonderful. It’s a fun atmosphere.
This is a neat little place to get ice cream, but not a huge selection of choices. It is small and can get cramped quickly so hope for a nice day and go outside to enjoy your delicious treat.
Love this place! Its super affordable and a great place to enjoy some sweet treats.
Spark is my familys favorite place to go for ice cream. The workers are fast and helpful. Love the decorations for Halloween.
I love this classic soda fountain on the Bentonville Square. Ice cream is delicious and inexpensive. Hot chocolate is fantastic. Brownie sundae is even better.
Outstanding place to get ice cream. We stopped in twice while we were in Bentonville. The young ladys and men were extremely nice and wirk very hard keeping the line moving.
Got a butter pecan cone. 50s decor. Very nice. Worth a stop, especially if youre old enough to remember when there were soda fountains.
Spark Café is perfect if you are looking for quality ice cream at an unbeatable price. You may find a decent line depending on when you go, but its well worth the wait. Seriously, its stupid cheap.
If youre traveling to Bentonville Spark is a definite must. Featuring a old-fashioned soda shop motif and ice cream you cant get enough of, its a treat you wont forget.
Awesome ice-cream at good prices...went with friends and tasted multiple flavors of ice cream they are serving, all flavours are awesome...must try the milk shakes..
Fantastic section. Great quality and prices. Not to be missed by any visitors to Bentonville!
Can’t beat the price! Family of 5 can have dessert for under $7.00! Good selection of flavors and floats! We will be back!
Fabulous ice cream! Located right in the entrance of the Walmart museum, so while you wait, you can view some of the exhibits! Great selection of cones and ice cream as well as a great location at the town square in bentonville, so grab some ice cream and sit out by the fountain! The only reason I am only putting 4 stars is for the very long line to order, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but be prepared to wait for 15 minutes. Other than that, great service, great taste, and great location all with a cool 50s vibe! It is definitely the cherry on top of a great evening in bentonville!
Really enjoyed the atmosphere here, took us back like in an old movie. I had the cookies n cream ice cream in a waffle cone, which can easily be shared by 2 people.
Very delicious ice cream with a cute diner interior.
Love this little old time Soda Shop. Friendly staff. Wonderful Moon Pie Sunday. Old fashioned candy and more.
Located in the Bentonville square, the Spark Cafe offers about 6 flavors of excellent ice cream, plus soda fountain drinks. Always fun to visit the Walton store and Walmart museum with visitors and end up in the Cafe.
Great prices and great ice cream within a fun and family friendly atmosphere.
Great service, family fun atmosphere. Hot chocolate could be a touch warmer .
Very kid friendly! Loved the decor and mini dining booths. You are given so much ice cream for the price! Lots of employees waiting for you.
Awesome experience and enjoyed a chocolate malt here. Would definitely go back.
Neat vibe, great employees, you can use Walmart Pay as well. The ice-cream itself is Yarnells which is quite good. Other places have more options for ice-cream. But they dont have the atmosphere Spark does.
Ice cream is always good. And the staff is friendly and courteous.
Great place to get a delicious ice cream for a nice walk on the square.
Nice place to sit and have an icecream while enjoying time with family and friends!
Great place to find some old time fun food and friends
Delicious ice cream. Dont forget to try the butter pecan. It was Sams favorite.
Great place to visit. Great selection good snacks. Great workers.
Part of the Wal-Mart museum. Take syou back to the 50s with prices nearly as low as back then. Line is usually long but moves fast.
Great little place right on the square. Usually a line for ice cream but worth it. They practically give it away.
I had a scoop of their amazing Butter Pecan. Yummy!!
Delicious treats for fairly good prices! Feels like youre stepping back in time to an old soda fountain...such fun!
Great prices, fun decor and terrific ice cream. Loved the child sized booth there.
A really fun stop. And cheap!
Always good ice cream and great staff too.
Cute little soda fountain. Great hot chocolate
Great ice cream. Great value. Great atmosphere.
When I first visited The Spark Café we has a couple of employees be very rude to my husband. I filled out a comment card of our experience and the asst. Manager got back to me and invited me back. So I went and was very welcomed. My second experience was much better and even got a tour of the building. To anyone who ever dislikes their time there: DO fill out a comment card! They will get back and they will try to make it right.
As usual place is very nice super clean employees are very nice and the ice cream is excellent
Decent ice cream and shake selection. Hardly a place to sit, but thats ok, seats outside and the Bentonville Square across the street. They also have. Hot drinks when its cold outside.
Great ice cream, great price, great staff, couldnt ask for more. Shout out to Scooter, Aaron and Lydia for the excellent hospitality!
Love the historical vibe and the ice cream and hot chocolate are great.
Fun atmosphere and really cheap ice cream. Great place to take the kids while enjoying downtown.
They have ice cream, sodas, sundaes, etc. This is one of my favorite spots to take my son downtown. He absolutely loves it, and its right on the square.
Lots of delicious options, but its important to remember this is the store front to the Wal-Mart museum. So it can get busy and crowded on a beautiful weekend.
Staff is friendly, and works quickly when there is a lot of people. Ice Cream is delicious, and excellently priced!
I love having this on the square.Keson gives you hope for future generations. Friendly and hard working.
Very nostalgic feeling. Cheap and delicious! Great for a family stopping by.
The associates are friendly and provide amazing service to their customers, as well as delicious ice cream for reasonable prices! 🍦
Wow this place was busy. The line was so long we wound up standing in the Walmart museum. The ice cream was delicious and the staff were very friendly.
