870 Coffee Co. to Celebrate Grand Opening October 28 in Mountain Home, Arkansas, with Support from Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea
Locally owned shop to bring award-winning brews and local energy to Baxter County
MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark., Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea is proud to announce that 870 Coffee Co., a new independent coffee shop in Mountain Home, will celebrate its grand opening on Tuesday, October 28 with drink specials, giveaways and a chance for the community to meet the owners behind one of the town's newest small businesses.
Located at 10 Paul Wood Lane, the shop quietly opened in September and has already developed a loyal following. Owners Myka and Caleb Huett say the grand opening is their way of thanking the community and officially inviting new guests to experience what's inside the cup.
"We've had so many people stop in once and come back the next day with a friend," said Myka. "That tells us we're doing something right, and we're really excited to celebrate with everyone."
Years Behind the Bar, Now at the Helm
Myka Huett spent seven years as a barista before launching her own shop. She credits her time at Crazy Llama Coffee in Joplin, Missouri, with planting the seed for her dream of ownership.
She and Caleb launched 870 Coffee Co. through Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea's 7 Steps to Success program, a nationally recognized startup system that has helped more than 300 entrepreneurs open independent coffee shops in 37 states.
"I worked with Crimson Cup's product for four years and knew the quality," Myka said. "It's something different from what most shops offer, and I wanted to bring that to Mountain Home."
Crimson Cup coffee has earned national recognition, including Roast magazine's Roaster of the Year and multiple Good Food and Golden Bean awards.
A New Gathering Spot for Mountain Home
870 Coffee Co. offers both dine-in and drive-thru service, and the Huetts plan to host regular community events in the months ahead. They've already built word-of-mouth by visiting neighboring businesses, sharing samples and introducing themselves as a homegrown alternative to the chains.
"We're proud to be local," said Myka. "This shop reflects who we are and what we care about — quality coffee and real connection."
