Fine coffee and fun selfies are the order of the day at Go Foto Yourselfie and Espresso Yourselfie, two new businesses in historic downtown Hot Springs.

“Don’t just survive – thrive!”
It defines the vibe permeating the second floor of Spencer’s Corner. That’s where you’ll find simpatico businesses Go Foto Yourselfie and Espresso Yourselfie. The latter, downtown’s most recent coffee lounge, has emerged as an “it” place during the day, offering Arkansas-roasted coffees and teas in perhaps the most relaxing, inviting venue to hit the tourist strip in quite some time.
Open daily at 7 AM, the historic rooms bespeak a quaint past known to locals with an airy, open floorplan replete with overstuffed couches and chairs that both locals and tourists find relaxing.
Perched above one of the busier intersections where tourist and local traffic blend, the shop brings both groups in with monthly trivia (themed!) and is entertaining plans to host poetry slams and adult spelling bees beginning this autumn.
Espresso Yourselfie is a sister business to the attraction next door – Go Foto Yourselfie Studio – a maze of cubicles and rooms to celebrate every occasion imaginable. Patrons pay one fee at the door to explore “selfie” stops. Popular with families and small groups, co-owner Brandee Munn invites those looking for the perfect portfolio background.
This business is a safe and entertaining “all ages welcome” attraction for parents and promgoers to performers and partiers. Plan to go more than once, as the themed sections change every season.
Both Go Espresso Yourselfie and Go Foto Yourselfie are located on the second floor of Spencer’s Corner, 801 Central Avenue. For hours of operation and events, visit Facebook: Go Foto Yourselfie Studio, or Facebook: Espresso Yourselfie, or call 870-279-3058.
