One year ago today, the lease was signed for what would become R & M Coffee Bar & Café.
What started as a vision between two dreamers, a place where community, culture, food, coffee, and connection could come together under one roof.
We envisioned a café with upscale vibes, beautiful aesthetics, and quality food made from scratch using MaryAnn's award-winning recipes. We wanted to create a place where people could gather with friends, enjoy great conversations, celebrate special moments, or simply relax and unwind while enjoying exceptional food and drinks.
We didn't want to be just another coffee shop serving ordinary coffee. We wanted to create flavors and experiences people couldn't find everywhere else. From our signature Red Velvet and Mocha Latte to our French Toast & Cream Shaker, fresh-baked cinnamon rolls, house-made pastries, and chef-crafted menu items, our goal has always been to offer something unique and memorable.
From day one, Little Rock welcomed us with open arms. The love, encouragement, and support we've received have been overwhelming—but not surprising. That's what Little Rock does. We show up for one another. We support local businesses. We celebrate each other's success.
Our coffee shop and café are still babies, and we're growing every single day. We're constantly learning, improving, listening, and evolving. Every day brings new lessons, new opportunities, and new ways for us to serve our community better.
We want to sincerely thank you for your patience, your feedback, your encouragement, and your support as we continue this journey. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your mornings, your brunch dates, your business meetings, your celebrations, and your everyday moments.
As we reflect on one year since signing that lease, we're filled with gratitude for how far we've come and excitement for what's still ahead.
Our promise remains the same: to make every moment, every dish, every cup, every memory, and every vibe an unforgettable one.
Thank you for believing in our vision and helping us build something special.
With love and gratitude,
Ryan & MaryAnn Williams
