Coffee shop, art gallery and community performance space.
by Tara Nurin
A large, airy and locally sourcing coffee shop with free wi-fi does triple duty as an art gallery and community performance space, making it the epitome of a neighborhood gathering spot. Whether you spend one hour or all day in this sunny and minimalistic coffee shop, you won’t get tired of your surroundings. Five different rooms each maintain their own character, from a cozy exposed brick study with a fireplace and personal swing chair, to a basement that runs the whole length of the converted rowhouse, to a glass-enclosed back porch that overlooks the grassy back yard. Most ingredients for the coffees, teas, fresh fruit smoothies, pastries and a limited number of sandwiches are fair trade, organic and locally sourced; add to that free wi-fi, art openings and poetry readings and you’ve got a hangout ready-made for an eco-chic Bella Vista customer base and their dogs.
Part coffeehouse, part gallery, Chapterhouse satisfies the organic hipster in all of us.

As cozy as your friend's rowhouse, but with much better scones, this cafe serves up bakery classics paired with modern art. Pit stoppers sip free-trade coffee at the window counter perfect for people watching, while culture vultures roam the four spacious rooms, nibbling on pastries and checking out the work of local artists, which is switched out every month or so.
