The Wicked Bean

you're on ar-72 in centerton, a stretch of northwest arkansas that doesn't ask much of you except that you pay attention. the wicked bean sits at 11507 along that road, and people who find it tend to keep coming back with a loyalty that says more than a casual visit would explain. bentonville gets the headlines in this corner of the state, but centerton has its own rhythm, and this place fits it. regulars here aren't casual about their coffee, and the shop seems to have grown around that fact rather than against it. if you're driving ar-72 in the morning, that's when to stop.
