Besides delicious fresh brews and bites, the local coffee shop scene in Arlington had one thing in common: a mission and desire for community. These independent cafes are a gathering place for friends, family, colleagues, students, and visitors to delight in the simple joy of freshly roasted coffee and good company.
Inclusion Coffee
The name says it all - Inclusion Coffee's mission is centered on community and belonging, creating a space where customers can feel welcomed and included. This locally owned specialty coffee shop goes beyond serving exceptional coffee—they're building a community story that invites everyone to participate. The cozy Downtown Arlington shop specializes in handcrafted brews, that can be made just to your taste, and handcrafted bites that include breakfast tacos, croissants, cruffins, and more. Stay up to date with their seasonal specials and hosted events that bring the community together.
Chill Coffee and Wine Bar
From day to night, Chill Coffee and Wine Bar has you covered blending a unique concept that transitions from daytime coffee culture to evening wine service. This coffee-to-wine combines trendy and laid back luxury with signature coffees, teas, and fine wines, plus delicious pastries, gourmet sandwiches, and custom charcuterie with your choice of meats and cheeses.
Grounds & Gold
What started as a bakery and confectionary, Gold Ribbon Confections, expanded into a coffee shop that focuses on benefiting the community. Serving gourmet coffee, homemade baked goods from Gold Ribbon Confections, and made-from-scratch dishes, Grounds & Gold is a warm atmosphere where family and friends can gather. A portion of every sale goes to non-profits that support childhood cancer, in honor of owner Maurice Ahern's late son, Micah. Grounds & Gold is a local favorite with tasty sips, delicious bites, and a good cause.
