Dustin Breazeale and Justin Reed are life partners. They also became business partners in 2018 when they opened Java Dudes coffee shop in Bella Vista, Arkansas. They now have two additional locations in Rogers.
Java Dudes Coffee Company is a cozy ‘local’ coffee shop and drive-thru which focuses on high quality, locally roasted coffee, flavorings and teas. They also serve lunch and bring in fresh baked goods daily from local bakeries.
“We started a little drive-thru in Bella Vista,” said Reed. “Dustin and I both moved to Bella Vista a couple of years ago. We are all about local.”
Reed said the best feature for guests coming to Java Dudes is the friendly customer service and great coffee.
“Oh, and delicious food!” he added.
Their reviews are overwhelmingly good. “This is exactly what our little community needed. Quaint, trendy place to meet friends and enjoy a hot or cold drink with an exquisite dessert, not to mention, of course, all in a comfy setting. Going to be a regular for us,” said one guest on FB reviews.
In 2018, they won a business award for "The Best of NW Arkansas.”
“We won the ‘Best Coffee House’ award in NWA. It did get us more out in NWA,” said the entrepreneur.
At the end of 2018, they added Drag Shows to their line-up of events.
“We started last year in a Bella Vista,” said Reed. “It’s a small town. We were scared to do it at first, but it was a huge success!”
Reed said they did receive some “hate mail” through Facebook, but it didn’t bother them.
“We would still welcome them to come visit the coffee shop anytime.”
They “love doing promos” on days like National Coffee Day, September 29, so watch for more fun things to come.
Java Dudes has three locations. The original Java Dudes in Bella Vista, AR 10 Sugar Creek Center. And two locations in Rogers, AR; their drive-thru at City Pump Food Truck Park, located at 623 W. Walnut, and their physical location at 718 N. 2nd St. Suite 104.
