Sad experience, my barista was great but new management was rude; I heard her yell at an employee during my visit. Coffee was good but can’t recommend considering how employees are treated. Heard other stories about employees being treated poorly as well, and the atmosphere is much worse since the merger with the book store.

I am one of those people who used to visit Higher Grounds every time I came to Russellville. I was so glad to find Retro Roasts, truly reminiscent of a golden oldie. The odd part is I am not a fan of coffee. Please don’t discredit my review if you are or avoid visiting if you aren’t. They had a nice selection of hot teas available. Seasonally they also offered hot chocolate. It was hard to believe all the options for hot chocolate. I went with dark chocolate with half and half and whip cream. Guess I was feeling decadent. It was a hard decision when one of the other choices was white chocolate with cinnamon and almond milk. What a pleasure to find a hot chocolate superior to Starbucks at a lower price. OH, the scones and other dessert choices to have with it.

Good coffee but that’s about it. Wish they had anything warm to eat but it was only some sugary cakes. Cool environment and a big boost for Russellville but needs a bit more variety.

Very cool and eclectic coffee spot in growing downtown area. Great service and coffee. Right night door to a book store, perfect pair for a great afternoon.

Lovely staff and excellent coffee. Just dropped in randomly as the sign caught my eye. Nice decor and chilled atmosphere. I imagine it would be a great place to meet friends and chat.

Love this place!!! Stop through often traveling between Little Rock and Fort Smith. Staff is best in class and so is their coffee (and so is the indie bookstore next-door!).

This is my first visit to Retro Roasts and it did not disappoint! Retro Roasts was recommended to me by a family member, an absolute coffee aficionado, so I had to visit. The staff was extremely helpful in guiding my purchase of ground coffee and was an absolute pleasure to talk to. Of course as a result of my pleasant conversation and the atmosphere I had to purchase myself espresso, and it was amazing! I hope to revisit soon when the coffee roaster is in operation to admire the electronic sensor setup and speak with the coffee nut roasting the sweet beans that makes an even better brew; you cannot bring someone who loves vintage, coffee, and electronics in to Retro Roasts without them falling in love. I absolutely recommend Retro Roasts for the coffee and the bakery nearby (B Street Bakery) for the desert… Match made in heaven!

Very cool place, but dangerous to enter with a small child! So many fun things to look at!

Fantastic coffee and such a cool space. Excited to have a stand-alone coffee shop in downtown Russellville! Try the Atomic City the next time you stop by.
