The Spark Café is a retro soda fountain in Bentonville, Arkansas, known for its ice cream, milkshakes, and coffee, located in the Walmart Museum complex on the Bentonville Square. It offers classic treats, including Yarnell's ice cream (Sam Walton's favorite), and has a nostalgic, friendly atmosphere with Walmart-themed sundaes and a gift wall. It's a popular spot for both locals and tourists looking for a sweet treat in a historic setting. They have seating arrangements inside with air conditioning and outdoor seating as well with Bentonville square views:)

We love the spark Café. However their dairy free ice cream is not very good. The texture and flavor are a bit weird. I wish they would get a better quality one, but the rest of the flavors are very good!

Stopped by to get ice cream, the taste of the particular flavor i choose was good but give a fair amount for the value of the ice cream. As for the associates, is not really about customer service but money. Most of the associates I have dealt with have a poor attitude.

We have lived in the area for almost a year and finally went to check this iconic cafe out. It has a true diner feel inside and the women working were all very friendly despite being so busy. We had the F-150 (red velvet cake), salted caramel and mint chip. All were wonderful. The ice cream is fresh. Prices are purposely inexpensive, we spent under $5 for all of us. This is a must stop in Bentonville while checking out downtown and the museum.
