Vagabond Cafe

Vagabond Cafe is a woman-owned café in downtown Fayetteville. The owner might give you a taste of the hibiscus tea or make you an off-menu drink. It's cozy and quiet, with couches behind the bar, window seats looking out on Hay Street, low music and reliable wifi. Ask at the counter about restrooms. Downtown parking is paid.

The syrups are house-made. Start with the ube latte with coconut. The hand-whisked matcha with coconut milk is seasonal. The espresso tonic with hibiscus and lavender is great on a warm day. There's a cortado, drip coffee and sprinkled donuts.
