our story

Creating connection and community over a good cup of coffee

Hi! We're Andee and John Parks. We founded Chicot Coffee & Cafe in 2023 for the purpose of connecting people over a good drink or a tasty meal in a warm and inviting space. When we moved to Lake Village, Arkansas, in October of 2021, we drove around the beautiful Lake Chicot and searched for a place to have coffee while taking in the views. At that time, the place we sought did not exist… but the idea remained alive. The Chicot Coffee & Cafe that you experience today is a culmination of the vision, hope, and determination to bring that idea into the world

Patio with a view

Built with Arkansas stone, our lakeside patio is perfect for lunch or an afternoon pick me up.

Cozy inside space to meet or work

From couches and comfy arm chairs to communal tables, there's a a spot inside that's right for everyone.

Handcrafted food & drink

All our coffee and meals made to order while pastries and desserts are locally sourced and baked!

A shop of local treasures

Grab some of our merch, learn about Arkansas from our library, or take home some local goodies.

The Transformation

From an abandoned building to a cozy community hub

The location was always fantastic... but the building needed some help! While we were getting our own hands dirty scraping tile off of floors and hauling materials, we recruited local demolition crews and craftsmen to strip down the old building and reveal its beautiful bones. Lake Village's old Lakeside Diner underwent a metamorphosis and emerged as the modern and warm Chicot Coffee & Cafe you experience today.
Change: step by step!

What's up with the bird painting?

Post your photo with Espresso the Egret topping off your coffee with the hashtag #chicotcoffee and tell your social media friends about your visit to Chicot Coffee and Cafe!

Espresso is a Great Egret, which are a common sight along the shores of Lake Chicot. Our friend, Emma, painted the mural capturing him just landing with your piping hot coffee ready to pour, as you enjoy the captivating sunrise over the lake. We hope to one day soon build out a dock seating area, so you might meet one of Espresso's cousins there!
