What People Are Saying
from Google"We had the pepperoni bagel and buffalo chicken pizza, both were equally amazing! This is a great place to grab a bite and have a latte or tea. Also 5% of proceeds go to benefit the local zoo. Turtle in the Way Cafe was spot on for us! You should check this out you will not be disappointed. 🐢🐢🐢thank you Robert and Riley for being so great!! 👍🏼"
"👑 KING OF THE FOOD COURT 👑 Service was super smooth, fast, and friendly! The food was so delicious and I will definitely be back. I think it's important to note that 5% of YOUR payment helps the turtles at the Little Rock Zoo, so any money you spend on the best things you would have ever put in your mouth is going to a good cause! Located in the Park Plaza food court and open since October 9th, the restaurant has tons of adorable turtle themed items to help you find it. We got a pepperoni turtle shell, which is a bagel with a pile of gooey deliciousness, and a chicken bacon ranch pizza, which is probably my new favorite food. I understand if you aren't hungry, but if you are and choose something else, you are making the wrong choice. I ate here with my dad and turtle-obsessed younger brother, and we were all extremely happy and went for seconds. Staff was friendlier than a puppy who smells snacks. This is the ONLY Turtle in the Way location IN THE WORLD, so if you are passing through Little Rock and looking for a bite I 100% recommend. Keep up the good work! EDIT: upon further inspection, there are vegetarian options. YUM YUM!"
"I ordered the "Turtle Shell Pizza" pepperoni. Got a pizza that could have come from Mattel's Easy Bake Oven replete with lightbulb for cooking Element. I ate the "hell out of it". The pizza was really tasty."
"I got a vanilla chai tea latte with honey— so good! And the buffalo chicken pizza was delicious. Perfect cheese pull, juicy chicken, and smoky, mild buffalo sauce! The prices are great, and I was happy to support a local small business owner! Definitely coming back."
"I was helped by Shawn (I believe his name was), he was very friendly, and I loved the lavender coffee I got, it brightened my mood very quickly and was DELICIOUS! Will be getting Lunch from here again. 10/10"
