Grounds Hero Coffee - Barling

What exactly is Ground Hero? It's a coffee shop that serves up lattes, mochas, and a variety of other popular coffee drinks, alongside delicious biscottis, sandwiches, and soups. While you can find similar offerings in many coffee shops, that's not the primary reason to visit Ground Hero. According to former Starbucks CEO Howard Behar, "It's not about coffee," and this rings true here for two main reasons. First, there's the convenience factor. If you're in the Fort Smith area, it may seem illogical to drive to Barling for coffee when options like Starbucks and Sweet Bay are closer. However, if you’re coming from Charleston, Lavaca, or Paris, a stop at Ground Hero is a more economical choice than making the longer drive to Fort Smith. The second reason to visit is the inviting atmosphere. Upon entering Ground Hero, you'll be greeted by a friendly staff in a warm and cozy environment. The moment I stepped inside, it felt like I was whisked away to the charming community of Eureka Springs. The bright-colored walls, comfortable reading nooks filled with plush chairs, and a large fireplace contribute to this inviting vibe. So, come and discover Barling’s hidden gem—Ground Hero Coffee Company.
