Nova Joe's

Stopped by while in town and was not disappointed! I ordered a caramel vanilla milkshake with coffee. I also got a chance to meet the owner and he was helpful and friendly while I made my decision on what to order.

Can I be honest? I want to be mad at Nova Joe’s. The little drive thru shack was great, and when I heard there was going to be a larger location I was excited. I thought finally there would be a place like Starbucks in this little town that you can go and sit with your laptop and sip overpriced delicious coffee all day and into the night. But, unfortunately this location still has no indoor seating—all drive thru.

*Sigh*

OK, I said I want to mad at Nova Joe’s, but I can’t be. The Chai Lattes and Espresso Milkshakes are too outstanding. Today I tried the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, also really good. The employees are friendly and prompt. This place is easily one of the best things in town, in my opinion. I’ve never heard of a coffee place that serves chicken (must be an Arkansas thing?) but it seems like a good mashup. Sort of like Starbucks meets Chick-fil-A.

But seriously, can we get just one coffee shop that stays open semi-late?

Best restaurant in batesville

Better then Starbucks in my opinion and way cheaper. I stop by every chance i get. The staff is aleays polite and the drinks are amazing. There frozen coffee is great blended to perfection and the smoothies are to die for.

I've never had a bad coffee here. They use just the right amount of syrup and coffee. I ordered the chocolate chip cookie dough late (20 oz hot). It smelled just like a cookie and tasted so good. I'm a stickler for going to the same thing over and over. This has became one of my favorites.

The chicken was fantastic. We got Nuggets and tenders and they actually taste and feel like chicken, not some mystery meat. Everything was hot and delicious and loved the fries.

They have decent drinks and good food. I'll definitely be back and would recommend. I would love to see them expand their menu though.

The coffee here is nothing short of phenomenal and meets the challenge of tasting as good or better than larger coffee corporations that have been around for decades. They offer a large variety of coffee ranging from plain coffee to espresso milkshakes for prices better than most of the local coffee offerings.

The owner is a local entrepreneur who's made excellent product and staffing choices. You should never expect anything less than friendly service and they are very flexible at fixing any issue you encounter with their products.

As a plus to their already great service, they offer a coffee rewards program through your phone.

I ordered a medium latte with an extra shot of espresso and 2 sugars. This is my go to order at any coffee shop. My drink was amazing. My husband makes this for me every morning and anytime we travel I order this drink so I've ordered it a lot. This was the best so far!!! I LOVE that this coffee shop is not a chain and it makes me feel good to support a local small business owner so bonus points for making me happy about where I spend my money. The cost is very competitive and worth every penny They also have real coffee shop hours. Open 5 am to 9 pm WOW!.

Update 2/21/2020:
They have changed the size of their large drink cups, making them noticably smaller, but the prizes have not changed. Also, they have stopped taking clover rewards. They refused to honor the free drink that I had earned. I'm very underwhelmed with them currently. I'll give them another chance but right now, I'm not very happy. Not to mention I waited 20 minutes for my drink as it was busy. I really liked this place so I hope this doesn't become a common theme.

Review #1
This place has amazing coffees, teas, and milkshakes, and at a really good price for a high end coffee shop. They have a few competitors, but they're either very expensive or lackluster. We have tried all three of their main competitors. Really love Nova Joe's. And talk about good hours! They're open just about every time I want a coffee or shake, open from early in the morning till 9 pm on most days.
