870 Coffee Co. Opens in Mountain Home, Elevating Local Coffee Experience
870 Coffee Co.: A New Brew in Mountain Home
Mountain Home, Arkansas is now home to a vibrant new coffee destination, 870 Coffee Co. This independent coffee shop made its official debut on September 12, 2025, and has quickly earned rave reviews for its exceptional brews. Locals rave that it serves some of the best coffee they've ever tasted, marking it as a must-visit for caffeine lovers in Baxter County.
A Vision from Passion
Founded by Myka and Caleb Huett, this cozy establishment is not just about coffee; it embodies a community-first approach. Myka brings years of barista expertise to the table, having worked in coffee shops since she was 17. Her journey through the coffee world, including a significant stint at Crazy Llama Coffee in Joplin, Missouri, where she served Crimson Cup coffee, has fueled her desire to launch her own shop.
Transitioning from a career in orthopedic trauma while continuing to work behind the coffee bar, Myka emphasizes the importance of connection and conversation in her craft. Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea, the renowned roaster from Columbus, Ohio, played a crucial role in transforming the Huetts' vision into reality through their 7 Steps to Success consulting program. This initiative offers a detailed road map for budding coffee entrepreneurs, and with over 300 independent shops to their name across 37 states, their expertise is evident.
Brewing a Local Connection
The incorporation of local culture and community spirit is evident in every corner of the shop, located at 10 Paul Wood Lane. The Huetts are determined to create an inviting atmosphere where serving excellent coffee goes hand in hand with building relationships. Myka noted how rewarding it has been to see customers come back after discovering their drinks, a sign that they are indeed on the right track.
Caleb adds, "We love how our customers react when they try our coffee for the first time; their smiles say it all!"
This community engagement isn’t just limited to customers. The couple has made it a point to connect with nearby businesses, allowing them to introduce their delicious offerings through samples. "Getting that first visit is always the hardest part, but we find that once people try our drinks, most return," Myka remarked.
Grand Opening Extravaganza
Looking ahead, the Huetts are excited to announce their grand opening, slated for October 28, 2025. The event promises exciting drink specials, giveaways, and opportunities to meet the team behind 870 Coffee Co. They’re eager to foster community through regular events that encourage social connection around their shared love for coffee.
"We want our shop to be a hub for the community, somewhere folks can gather, connect, and create memories over a great cup of coffee," Caleb stated.
