The Café
Creating Community Through
Coffee Excellence
Mama Carmen’s Espresso Café is located at 2850 N College Ave in Fayetteville, AR, across the street from Shake's. We offer coffee roasted fresh on-site and great food from Fayetteville's own Stone Mill Bread and Flour Company.
Inside the café you’ll find a fun atmosphere with plenty of seating options for individuals and groups, free high-speed WI-FI and live music from time to time (check upcoming events).
We’re part of a local non-profit organization called Global Restoration Trading Co. that seeks to help community development projects around the world.
When you visit Mama Carmen’s Espresso Café, you’re making a difference both locally and globally.
Mama Carmen and the children of her orphanage in Guatemala City aren’t just the symbols our company; we’ve committed to purchasing the coffee from Mama Carmen’s farm, and 10% of the net profits from our store go to Mama Carmen’s orphanage. The remainder of our profits go to similar community development projects around the world.
Whenever possible, we purchase coffee directly from the coffee farmers through our supplier, Airship Coffee, at better than Fair Trade prices to ensure Mama Carmen’s serves the best quality coffee and to provide a generous wage for the farmers.
Nestled inside Mama Carmen's Espresso Café is a small boutique called The Global Shoppe. It offers products from a host of countries and cultures - all handmade, all with a story attached, and all directly helping the poor in places like Nepal, Uganda, Honduras, and India.
The Global Shoppe was formed to use everyday commerce in Northwest Arkansas as a means of enhancing the physical and spiritual wellbeing of people in underdeveloped communities throughout the world. The Global Shoppe operates in the spirit of fair trade, seeking to make a positive difference in the lives of the artisans with whom we work by purchasing their products for a fair price and providing market access for their products in the US, as well as working with other like-minded people and organizations.
We take our charter and tag line from Isaiah chapter 61 which states,
“He sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives… and to bestow upon them a crown of beauty instead of ashes.”
We believe that our business can be a powerful, redemptive force in the lives of the artisans with whom we work.
