William Jones is pleased with the reception his coffee shop, Java Kraze, is receiving in Bentonville. The store sells coffee, tea, and espresso drinks as well as bakery items. "We have a bakery in house that makes cinnamon rolls, sticky buns, and kolaches every day, from scratch." William continues, "We are a new business in an existing building and trying to let people know we are here and what we have to offer. We have some events coming up that we are excited about and are hopeful they will attract attention and get people to stop by and give us a try." Previously Java Kraze was operated out of a concession trailer in Rogers that is used in the summer time to house Brain Freeze Sno & Whips. When colder temperatures hit William decided he needed another business to keep him busy during the sno cone off-season and coffee seemed to be the perfect solution. With that thought, Java Kraze was born. Soon after he decided he wanted a permanent location and after much searching he found his first brick and mortar location at 1111 South Walton Blvd. in Bentonville. He explained, "We're right on South Walton with the Walmart Home Office, the Bentonville Plaza and other executive centers around us. I'm the only drive thru coffee shop within 2 miles." The drive thru was a big draw for choosing this building. While coffee and specialty drinks are a big part of the business, William knows that his coffee crazed customers want a sweet or savory option to pair with their java fix. Rolled out daily are cinnamon rolls with apple and cinnamon topped with cream cheese frosting, sticky buns with caramel and nuts both inside and on top, and kolaches. William says, "We have our take on the kolache. It's more than just dough wrapped around a smoked sausage link. We have a sausage gravy kolache. We have our country breakfast kolache with sausage gravy, eggs, cheddar cheese & bacon." If you want to spice it up, every kolache has an option with jalapenos. Don't be fooled the kolache isn't just for breakfast. featured dining guide story Advertorial Feature 42 WHAT'S UP! APRIL 1-7, 2018 Have a craving for coffee?
